* The safest bet for getting out of Bordeaux (mainly in direction Tolouse) is probably to go hitch-hiking closer to the entrance of the highway. Take the bus #15 towards "Villenave d'Ornon" and exit at "Pont de la Maye" (you can ask the bus driver to tell you when it is). Then, walk in the same direction that the bus went, on the road. Cross the bridge above the road. Just after the bridge there is a little grassy hill on the right. Walk down the hill. You'll arrive on a roundabout with a road going directly to A62 ([[Toulouse]]). There is some space on the roundabout so the cars can stop and pick you up relatively easily. In [[User:Scar|Scar]]'s opinion, the easiest way to get out of the city in direction Tolouse. If you want to go towards Biarritz here, wait at the traffic light at the beginning of the bridge at the entrance to the motorway Rocade.
* I really don't know why everyone hitches from the centre, when you can actually get to the motorway easily with the tram. Take number B, direction Pessac Centre and get off at Saige. Then walk back on that small parallel road Rue de la Ramée and follow it to the right. Then straight ahead, at the corner where the street turns again walk on up the hill till you hit the protection wall of the motorway. follow the wall to the left - it's a bit of a walk, but at the end there will be an access point. Cross the first on ramp, cross the field and voila: the next on ramp (direction Biarritz) has a small spot for parking there. Waited 5 minutes and cars are comparably slow (50 kmh, even though I think they don't care about the traffic sign there.) // [[User:Pablo.gelato|Pablo.gelato]] strongly disagrees and thinks this is a dangerous spot because ON the motorway with two lanes and cours cars at 80-100km/h. The spot for parking is not small but very very very small and it is dangerous if cars would try to stop there unless no other car is in sight. NOT recommended!
