== Leaving Boston ==
=== 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. If you're in the suburbs already, a tempting spot to start might be by the Riverside MBTA station, but you'll probably find very little traffic going your way. If you can get a short ride just as far as one of the [[rest area|service plazaplazas]]s, you'll likely have much better luck.
Route 9 is an excellent road to hitchhike on: lots of traffic, plenty of stoplights and [[petrol station hitchhiking|gas stations]], and a decent average speed. You can probably get to [[Worcester]] faster along Route 9 than by taking the Mass Pike.
=== South ===
I-95 is your best bet. There is a service plaza just a block away from the Riverside MTBA 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.
Also, it should be noted that I-95 will likely only be of use to those headed for [[Rhode Island]]. Those headed for [[Connecticut]] or [[New York City|New York]] should try to hitch west on I-90.
