The '''Terehova-Zasitino border crossing''' joins [[Latvia]] at the settlement of Terehova (near [[Zilupe]]) and [[Russia]] at the village of Zasitino (near [[Sebezh]]). This border crossing is the main road from [[Riga]] towards [[Moscow]] as well as the best way for drivers going from [[Europe]] to Moscow if they avoid [[Belarus]] for mainly visa reasons.

Traffic is extremely low here, and contains mostly locals crossing borders for cigarettes and petrol. Also here best chances are just behind the last control checkpoint, though light installments are not as good on this side for night hitchhiking. Try to hitch at least towards the exit of Zilupe, though there it's also not as good to hitch. [[TIR]] truck drivers might be your best bet. If you don't get one out of here, catch anything to [[Rezekne]], from there traffic increases in direction of [[Lithuania]] and [[Riga]].

[[User:Platschi|Platschi]] stood here several times at night (both directions) and in all cases didn't manage to see anything moving until daylight came up. As soon as it gets light, it's also recommended to hitch short distances, which might be more effective as after about 40 km the road from [[Pskov]] joins in, where more traffic can be expected towards Moscow. Get out at crossings or petrol stations along the way and be patient. The trip to Moscow can take you about 7 to 10 hours from here.
