=== North towards [[Oslo]] ===
The best place to start heading towards Oslo is the [[rest area|service station]], STIGS CENTER, ''Incorrect link removed'' just check google maps "stigs center". There are also a few buses which go there, the easiest one of which is "402 Alvangen". Could just ask the bus drivers which goes to Stigs centernumber 47 that leaves from '''Hjalmar Brantingsplatsen''', and the The bus stop '''Stigs Center''' is directly on the onramp to the motorway so you just step off the bus and hitch! On a working day morning this seems to be a great spot to go 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, these locations are easier to find from the road than Stig Center and might have more traffic going to Oslo.
Alternatively, if you're still in the city-center, you can try getting a lift from the [[petrol station hitchhiking|petrol station]] located close to [http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?f=q&hl=it&geocode=&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=118215905716686756957.000448147f6ec7cb40744&ll=57.707071,11.997392&spn=0.006993,0.023518&z=16 this] roundabout (near to Ullevi Norra, the big stadium) where cars are going in many directions, some of which might go to Oslo. However, most of the cars coming from the round about are going very very fast, and it's hard for them to stop on the street here. And, most cars at the petrol station next to it are just staying inside the city at this point. Possibly best chance is to make a sign for E6 N, and stand by the red light coming from the city centre towards the motor way. The light turns red often and for long enough that someone might pick you up and at least take you to Stig Center, focus your attention on the lanes marked for your destination, going north is the left and middle lanes.
