Hitchhiking in Israel is usually done without a [[signs|sign]], since stopping in almost all junctions is possible. An exception for this is the new Road 6, in which stopping in only possible on on-ramps and [[petrol station hitchhiking|petrol stations]].

The most usual way to start an hitchhiking journey is to take a bus out of town, to a junction in your direction. Almost every junction has a hitchhiking spot (the famous ''[[Trempiyada]]''), or at least a bus station where drivers can stop. Many drivers stop in such a place simply to drop or pick up people, not for picking you up - approaching them can still pay off well though, as often they will pick you up anyway. [[User:Guaka|guaka]]'s wild guesstimate is about 20% of the time, definitely worth the walk, the gesture and the smile.
