'''Trempiada''' is [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] (טרמפיאדה, derived from the [[Template:Phrasebook/German language|German]] ''trampen'') for a designated place at a junction of highways or main roads from which [[Hitchhiking|hitchhikers]], called ''trempists'', may solicit rides. There are often many people waiting at trempiadas, and passing motorists often stop to pick them up. There is an unofficial etiquette governing trempiada use which determines priority for rides among other things as well as a shorthand sign language for communication between hitchhikers and drivers.
Some Trempiadas have been converted into bus stations in the last few years, especially those that are present in road junctions. Of course you can still use them to hitchhike.
