Adding info for Hitching out towards the north
== Hitchiking Out ==
=== North ===
There are two main routes that head north out of The Metroplex. '''I-35''' towards [[Oklahoma City|O.K.C.]], and '''US-75''' towards [[Tulsa]], OK.
==== I-35 ====
* Take public transit out to Denton, and walk out of town via US-77, towards the TA Travel center. There is a pretty big pullout on the I-35 frontage road, so you can hitch from there safely.
( 33.2643938, -97.1773855 )
* There is a Pilot Travel Center at the intersection of I-35W, and the Alliance Gateway Fwy. At this spot, you should throw up a sign at the Travel Center.

Note: As of 2023, there is a massive amount of road construction happening in this area, so hitching from the frontage road isn't really an option.
==== US-75 ====
* From Parker Road Station (Orange/Red Line) in Plano, walk north west to the Costco. The northern most entrance to their parking lot is the Truck entrance, and it offers a great place for traffic to pull off the frontage road.
