Take care, at the crossing traffic might also While some cars may go eastwards for east from here towards [[LithuaniaVilnius]], or you might assume trucks cannot use this, but trucks over 7.5 t are not allowed on that road. Anyway: Most traffic No matter what your destination in Lithuania is, it is best to head for e.g. Suwałki and then the [[Vilnius]] might as well go via [[KaunasBudzisko-Kalvarija border crossing]]. It is definitely your best bet to hitch further north along the E67 and then go east.
See Walk 2km from the spot town centre in south-west direction along Wojska Polskiego street to 2nd roundabout along this road. Stand at the zebra crossing just after the roundabout exit on the mapN61 direction Warsaw. Cars and trucks are going slow enough after exiting the roundabout to stop. Needs more descriptionThere is even some room for a car to pull off from the road. === South towards [[Białystok|Bialystok]] {{European Route Number|67}} === Same directions for Grajewo & Warsaw (see above), thoughbut stand on the E67 direction [[Białystok]]. Probably walking is your best friend in this case as wellThere are a lot of trucks passing here from the Baltics, and because of the roundabout, they will be going slow enough to stop safely.

'''Augustów''' is a city in northeast [[Poland]] along the [[E67]] "Via Baltica". It is a transit point between the Baltic countries and Poland. All the transit traffic used to go pass the town, but since November 2014 a new by-pass has been opened.

== Hitching Hitchhiking through ==Since the new by-pass has opened, you don't need to go to the center of Augustów anymore. If you do get a ride to the city center, it might be better to get out at the on-ramp shortly before the south end of the town when you're hitchhiking towards [[Kaunas]] or at the round-about shortly after [[Suwałki]] when you're coming from there and going towards [[Warsaw]]. == Hitchhiking out ==
You have actually three options: Your driver stops in Augustów and brings you to the spots described below. It really should be no detour for them. Option two would be your driver is passing it and goes further anyway, or worst case, the car will stop at the beginning of town. Then you have to walk for about 30-40min to cross it, following the signs for Suwałki or Bialystok, or just follow the dust and smell of the never ending [[TIR]] convoy.
===North towards [[Suwałki]], [[Lithuania]] {{European Route Number|67}} ===
At the end of town, after crossing the river bridge, there's a huge bus stop for stopping cars. Some traffic here might get off earlier, so best bet is to walk about 500m further. You'll recognize a traffic light and behind after this, about 50m50 m further, you'll find a much better hitchhiking spot. Spot The place is also fine good for night hitchhiking, at least you can catch cars here towards Suwałki.
===South -west towards [[BialystokGrajewo]] {{European Route Number|67}} , [[Warsaw]] (N61) ===
=== West towards [[Elk]] (N16) ===
At the first roundabout along Wojska Polskiego street in the south of the town, walk westwards. There are some bus stops on the way, so walk as much as you prefer and try to hitch cars. Best bet is to go only with traffic directly to Elk, as in between there are barely good spots to find, especially at night it can be very difficult. == Trashwiki & Nomadwiki == [[nomad:Augustow]] [[trash:Augustow]] {{IsIn|Podlaskie (Voivodeship)}}
