Changes

Take bus 31 from the city centre (from the squares ''Trg Studentski'' or ''Trg Slavia'' or in front of the large McDonalds) or bus number 17 going from Zemun, through Novi Beograd, until you get to the intersection of the streets ''Ustanička'' and ''Vojislava Ilića'' (ask someone in the bus for the stop ''Shumice'', but in case you miss is it two stops before the last - on the right you will see a pekara and it's a bigger intersection after going uphill for a while). Turn around and go left, walk to the bridge, cross it, go downstairs, and walk around 150m to the right from the bridge. There you will find a on-ramp to the motorway, and it is the spot from where you can hitchhike towards the toll station. (Alternatively you can walk down the motorway for a couple of hundred meters further and talk to people on a petrol station. This might work better, because many people using the on-ramp are not leaving Belgrade). You should have sign which says "RAMPA" (toll station) or "BUBANJ POTOK" (town right before the toll station) (the toll station has moved, see the comment from June 2018!) in order to get a lift, otherwise you risk staying there for a long time. It is possible that someone who is not going to the toll station, but to Bubanj Potok or Leštane will give you lift, but it is no problem, since after he turns, you have only 10 minutes on foot to the toll station. Once you reach the toll station, it is easy to get direct rides all the way to Greece, Bulgaria, Macedonia or even Turkey if the driver allows you to sleep the night in his truck.

* [[User:Antonopa|Antonopa]] (May 2016) Works reatgreat, I had to wait about 5 mins to get to the toll station, then about an hour to get a ride from the toll station all the way to Niš. Watch out for the police though, they will move you further down the road if you stand too close to the toll station.* [[User:Antonopa|Antonopa]] (April 2017) second time using this spot, it's perfect, a lot of traffic heading in the right direction, very easy to get a lift over to the toll station, and from there easy to catch a ride with a truck. Made the trip from belgrade to skopje in 10hrs starting from here at 1200.* [[User:Janos|Janos]] (June 2018) The toll station in BUBANJ POTOK is not in use anymore! There is a new toll station in in VRČIN (some 5 km further). I waited for an hour at the gas station, then decided to start asking people directly and the first person took me.

=== Southwest towards [[Sarajevo]] and [[Montenegro]] ===

There are 2 ways to Sarajevo, one through Čačak-Uzice, a bit south, the other one more direct but not written on online maps... The one through Čačak worked well for us. Take the bus 53 from the green open market called "Zelena pijaca" (the stop is called ''Zeleni venac'') in the center, to the last station(''Vidikovac''). Then just follow the street for one minute, turn right, here is the exit to the motorway, climb up the bridge and try to hitchhike there, there is some place for cars to pull over, but in Serbia when they want to stop the car the dont really need a proper place ;). It seems that buses 531, 532, 533 go further, but it's not really needed, and they might be regional buses. Use signs ČA and/or UE (ČaČak-Uzice).[[User:P40fA|Jan]] hitched a ride to Čačak in Sep 2018 here in ten minutes. 

If you wish to hitchhike on the motorway, you should exit at the overpass just before entering Batajnica and walk up to the highway. There has been some road constructions last few years (2011-2015), so it should be ok to get a ride because cars slow down a bit. If there is no more road constructions, it's also ok because there is a lot of space for cars to pull down. Try to get any ride to the highway toll gate in / péage on the way to [[Novi Sad]], where all cars have to stop. There you can ask people to take you further, even to Hungary (edited by [[User:NixyJungle|NixyJungle]]).

As seen in August 2014, the construction work being made * [[User:Evolverine]] Hitchhiking on the highway led was awful, cars going way too fast to a one-line traffic with a 60kmeven consider picking anyone up. Plus I was confused by the supposed toll booth /h limited speed where the bridge is. There is no entrance but there péage that I just couldn't find (it is near [[Novi Sad]], so don't bother looking for it; I updated the perfect place wiki to HHmake it more clear). After the one line reduction So after a couple of minutes I went to the highway goes to a normal 2line + emergency traffic. So there is plenty space for road the cars from Belgrade took to stop (around 6m) and get onto the cars highway, here [http://osm.org/go 60km/hxf15v6be1-?m=] / geo:44.88789,20. 30195?z=17 (Not sure how long is not marked on the map above), and in about 2h I got a ride to the border with Hungary, after which it going was easy to get another ride to be like [[Budapest]]. But the general feeling thatit's hard to hitch out of Belgrade seems accurate.)Be careful of pickpockets on * [[User:Luelle]] Another option if you don't want to ride a bus for so long: Take the 95 Bus from the city center to New Belgrade and exit at the busstation called Sava Center.It stops directly passed a bridge that is over the highway.an old man may look harmless but has quick handsExit the bus and walk towards the bridge, oh! When you get out, have will see a sign for petrol station on the highway to the right which is the direction Novi Sad and / Budapest. This a petrol station which you can use to get a short ride out at of the péage, the toll booth which city. Finding a long ride is quite pretty unlikely from this point since its mostly local traffic. Beware: Bring some cardboard with you. There isn't anything around.* [[User:schlaraffenkind]] I found a different and much easier way before Novi but to hitchhike out of Belgrade. Take the best place Bus 601 from New Belgrade to stand the bus station "Tošin bunar". From Tošin bunar take bus 611 to get the station "Zmaj". It stops right in front of a long distance ridepetrol station which is also called (Benzinska stanica NIS Petrol) "Zmaj" (2 stops from Tošin bunar but it's also so obvious, it will be hard to miss). It's outside of the city and on the E-70 motorway.The motorway that leads straight to Zagreb and is right before the junction that leads to Budapest.here Definitely try this route if you can whip out are in doubt about the others. I got a sign for [[Budapest]]ride within 5 minutes towards Novi Sad and then just before Novi Sad another one to the border with Hungary.

[[User:Evolverine]] in July 2016 no sign of construction workwww. Plus, hitchhiking on the highway was awful, cars going way too fast to even consider picking anyone upinstagram. So I went com/santi_viajasimplemente/It is possible to take the road the cars from Belgrade took underground or train to get onto the highway, here geo:44.88789,20.30195?z=17 (not marked on the linked map), and got a ride in about 2h to the border with Hungary, after which it was easy to get another ride to [[Budapest]]. But the general feeling station zemun that it's hard goes to hitch out of Belgrade batajnica every hour and seems accurate. * [[User:Luelle]] Another option if you don't want to ride a bus for so longbe free : Take the 95 Bus ), from the city center to New Belgrade and exit at the station called Sava Center. It stops directly passed a bridge that is over the highway. Exit the bus and there walk towards the bridge, you will see a petrol station on the highway 600 to the right which is the direction Novi Sad/ Budapest. This a petrol service station which you can use to get a short ride out of the citywith McDonald's. Finding I got a long ride is pretty unlikely from this point since its mostly local traffic. Beware: Bring some cardboard with you. There isn't anything aroundthere after 1 hour.
