A good day to get a ride The best place to start heading towards Oslo is probably the [[rest area|service station]], Stigs Center There are a Sunday since many Swedes are home in Göteborg over few buses which go there, the weekendeasiest one is bus number '''47''' towards '''Tuve''' that leaves from '''Hjalmar Brantingsplatsen''',  The bus stop '''Stigs Center''' is directly on the onramp to the motorway so you just step off the bus and on Sundays head back hitch! Great spot to Oslo for workgo north towards Stenungsund or Uddevalla, right before both these places there are major rest stops with petrol stations where lots of Norwegians and trucks headed into Norway stop.

There's a very good hitchhiking spot right aftera on E45, after a crossing 2 3 km west from Hammarkullen, which is on the way with the tram to Angered. There used to be a bus stop right after the crossing with traffic lights. Now it's just a good spot for the cars to drive aside while coming going at low speed. The closest tram stop is the one at Hammarkullen on the way to Angered, number 8 (purple) goes there. If one has a period card and can wants to go with by bus, then the stop is Eliebergsvägen with bus , it's right next to the spot. One can get there by taking 401 from Angered takes you right next to itor 173 from Nils E-terminalen.

=== Road 40 and E4 E40 to [[Stockholm]] /Borås/Gbg Airport ===The fastest route by car to Stockholm is not via E20 as all the traffic signs say. Most people take this route instead. A good spot is bus stop Kallebäcksgatan Kallebäcksvägen [http://goo.gl/maps/V1ggx] (Take bus 50 there or a tram to Elisedal and walk five mins). My friends tried it today and got a ride within half an hour. The cars can stop at best spot to hitchhike is near the sign "Jönköping"(5 minutes walking from bus stop "Kallebäcksvägen"): that is the right direction to Stockholm. The same road will bring you to Borås and to Göteborg flygplatsen (airport). Note that in case a driver is just going to the airport, it is good to know that near the entry/exit of the airport there is a station service which most likely is better than the ona good spot too (me and a friend successfully hitch-ramphiked from there to Uddebo, a small "hippish" village near Tranemo).

[http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=it&msa=0&msid=118215905716686756957.000448147f6ec7cb40744&ll=57.697921,11.996942&spn=0.003497,0.011759&z=17&iwloc=000448149457af71bfda2 This] (Broken link points to GPS coordinates 57.697921,11.996942) point may not look like much, but there is a lot of heavy traffic entering this on-ramp at all times. The reason why this exact spot works particularly well is because of a traffic light that naturally stops the vehicles that turn in here. If you stand just alongside where they're turning in, they'll have time to see you and pull out of line onto the tram tracks for a few seconds. Make sure to use a sign.

A possibly better spot is Munkebäcksmotet (marked on map), a bus stop on just before the sliproad going down onramp to the motorway. Either take bus number 513 or 515 in the direction ''Polhemsplatsen'' (a ticket is 16,50 SEK(outdated price, it is now 20 or so SEK), but it is possible to blackride as well) or take the tram to ''Munkebäckstorget'' and walk north 10 minutes from there. Commuter trains to Alingsås also stop at Sävenäs right across the E20 (2 min walk) and might be the easiest blackride from the city centre. Most drivers are going only short distances, and the towns they go to are virtually impossible to hitchhike out of. Try to get to Alingsås, where the motorway ends and you can hitchhike directly on the roadside, there are very few good onramps between Göteborg and Alingsås. This option is probably better if you are going to a place near Göteborg, especially before Alingsås.

'''Option 1'' From the Central Station get on the the commuter train towards Kungsbacka. Get off after about 10 minutes - Onramp in Kållered, When you get off the train you'll see a Netto on the other side of the road which has excellent dumpsters should you need to acquire some food. To get to the hitching spot you just walk under the tracks and continue for another 100 meters or so until after you cross the highway where you turn left directly and follow the highway for about 5-10 minutes. You'll walk past Ikea and and a petrol station which, though it's by the highway, has almost only locally bound traffic on so don't expect to much. Instead just walk up the hill and hitch at the on-ramp. Any ride thatnear IKEA's 5 or more kilometers is good as it will take you to [[Sandsjöbacka]] rest area which is one of the best places to find a ride to directly to [[Malmö]] or even [[Denmark]] and [[Germany]]. Bear in mind that Sandsjöbacka is the last rest area for at least 60 kilometers that's on the highway so it's much recommended to stop there to avoid getting stuck at a small on-ramp somewhere.

[[User:footsore|footsore]] got a lift all Catch the way commuter train towards Kungsbacka to Malmö from here within 20 the stop '''Kållered''' (10 minutes ), and as you get off the train walk under the traintracks and forward another 200 meters under the highway and then turn left past supermarkets, IKEA until you see a OKQ8 gasstation. Either hitch at 7am the gasstation itself or at the onramp on a Saturday morningtop of the hill.

Any ride that will take you 10 km or further is good because that would get you to the gasstation ''Option 2'Sandsjöbacka' Take the bus ("grön express" recommended, stops by just a few meters from the trucks) to "Stigs center" north of Göteborg. A lot of trucks stop by to pause here and there's a good chance you'll get which is the best gasstation for almost a ride. Or if you want to hitch from town, many hitchhikers have found the petrol station on the large crossing where the 100 km down this road Ullevigatan joins the E20 was a great spot.

[[User:Liftarkungen|Liftarkungen]] thinks that the best place '''Option 2 If you want to start hitchhiking south hitch from Göteborg is "[[Sandsjöbackamotet]]", which is situated south of Mölndal. However it is timeconsuming and quit an adventure to get there. Use www.hitta.se or googlemaps in order to find directions. Or see [[Sandsjöbackamotet]].town'''

The petrol station on the large crossing where the road Ullevigatan joins the E20 is just a 10-15 minute walk from the central station. Some hitchhikers have reported great successes with this spot while others have waited very long times to get a ride. It is near the big stadium Nya Ullevi and if you prefer it there is a busstop on the road outside of Nya Ullevi where people can pull over easily, however that spot only tends to be good with a good very visible sign so that people notice you actually hitchhiking. === Ferries : South West towards [[Denmark]], and also [[Germany]] ===

On the ferry to Fredrikshavn, you have 2 3 hrs to find a ride (, try to visit the truckers special area) if you dont find any cars heading south, at least to the excellent trucker terminal heaven hitching spot of Padburg, on the Danish/German border.  However even being in a car on the way to Fredrikhavn you may have to pay a something like 6 euros for the ferry. Or possibly more if you enter as a foot passenger For starting hitchhiking late and going to either places like [[Århus]] or [[Germany]] it can be quite amazing to catch one of the late ferries and end up in Germany even though leaving in the afternoon.
