===Northwest towards [[Edirne]] and [[Bulgaria]]===
Get into the Metro at Taksım Taksim square and take a train to ''4.LeventAtatürk Oto Sanayi''. This is currently the last station of the Istanbul metro. One ticket costs 1,40 YTL (~0,70 Euro). At 4.Levent get out With the recent extension of metro line, Atatürk Oto Sanayi is now the Metrolast stop, and that's where you should get off. You will find yourself along the ''Büyükdere Caddesi'' street. Walk along the mainstreet direction north (watch out for big signs that are leading drivers to the highway to [[Edirne]]. After 15min 4-5 min and passing a military camp you'll see the [[on-ramp]]. Unfortunately, there is no way to cross the street from right to left then by attempting suicide, because the main street is mostly full of fast traffic. If you are not brave enough to do so, walk another 10min further and cross the street over a bridge and walk back the way along the other side. Go somewhat down the ramp and you can find a good spot to stand and stop cars. Also try to get short lifts (even some kilometres can help in Istanbul).
A few kilometers further on the highway, there is a [[toll booth]] where you can easily catch rides (the breadsellers might help you get a lift to your preferred destination).
