Jyväskylä is a city located in Central Finland, 147 km from Tampere and 270 km from Helsinki. There are many students living in Jyväskylä (a third of the total population), leading to some people calling Jyväskylä the "Athens of Finland".
Hitchhiking out
South-west towards Tampere, Turku 9 E 63
There's a pretty good hitch-hiking spot just next to the university's campus called Mattilanniemi. Coming from the centre: follow the street called Kauppakatu (the name changes into Seminaarinkatu and then to Alvar Aallon katu). Turn left to Kramsunkatu. There's a bridge for pedestrians over Rantaväylä to the university campus. Don't cross the bridge but go down the small hill to the "shoulder", the side of the road, of Rantaväylä. Walk a bit closer to the traffic lights.
Another option for south is to take bus 14 or 21 to Muurame; the ticket costs 4,70€ (bus information accurate as of August 2015). Take the ramp to the main road (9, E63), walk less than 1 km in direction Jyväskylä until you'll see a gas station, in front of it there is a bus stop with a huge space to pull over, and cars go slow because of speed limit.

West towards Keuruu, Parkano 23
For west towards Keuruu it might be smarter to follow the train tracks west to Keuruuntie. Soon after Länsi-Päijänteentie road there's a bus stop. However, there are many bus stops along the road with easy access to hitch west or north west.
East towards Pieksämäki, Varkaus, North-east towards Kuopio, Kajaani, South-east towards Mikkeli, Lappeeranta E 63, South towards Heinola, Lahti, Helsinki E 75
Take bus number 1, 2 or 3 to Vaajakoski. From Vaajakoski you need to walk along Vaajakoskentie (road E75) for roughly 2km - there is a pavement!

From there cars go a bit fast but they have enough time to see you and enough space to stop. A lot of traffic going in the right direction. I got a ride going to Kuopio in 5 min, but if you are going direction to Mikkeli (as I was), you can just ask the driver to drop you off at the crossroad to Mikkeli and hitchhike from the bus stop there (another just 5 min wait). Also there's a Shell gas station just at that cross.
