The national highways are shown as BR. Hitchhiking here is pretty hard according to some, fairly easy according to others ([[User:Guaka|guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|talk]]) on BR-101 in RJ and ES). The best way to get rides, is to talk to truck drivers at the Petrol Station or the Posto BR as locals would call them.
In the south (Rio Grande Do Sul) drivers hardly stop on the roadside if you are only using your thumb (even if it seems to be a perfect hitching spot). [[User:Balazs|balazs]] would suggest to always use a sign on roadsides (but generally, don't hitch there, try as hard as possible to get to the petrol stations.). At the stations, he was almost always taken if the driver was going in his direction and the car was not full.
Note that vehicles license plates are different, depending on where the car was issued.
