Leaving Boston
'''Boston''' [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=boston&ie=UTF8&z=12&ll=42.359812,-71.060257&spn=0.120249,0.432243&om=1&iwloc=A] is a city in [[Massachusetts]].
== Leaving Boston Hitchiking Out == 
=== West ===
 
Eventually, you probably want to get on to I-90 (the Mass Pike). This goes right into downtown Boston, so find a busy onramp downtown.
=== South ===
 
I-95 is your best bet. There is a service plaza just a block away from the Riverside MBTA station. Try to look as friendly and harmless as possible, as the area (Newton and Wellesly, MA) has a reputation for snobbish people who are likely to be quite cautious about picking up hitchhikers. Expect a medium to long wait in any event.
=== Northeast ===
 
I-95 bypasses the city, so the main highway northeast is US-1. The onramp onto US-1 in Charlestown is fairly busy and sees some longer-distance traffic; the southbound side of Rutherford Ave near Community College MBTA station is a decent spot to hitch onto US-1 towards [[Maine]]. Out in the suburb of Saugus, US-1 stops being a full freeway and it may be feasible/legal to hitch directly along the road there (if you take a bus out that far). Further out than that, US-1 reaches a junction where most longer-distance traffic shifts to the I-95 freeway.
