This is a truck stop with very busy ramp and has a truckerlot of services promoting long distance traffic such as fast food, gas stations, and hotels.

Missouri Hwy 92 and Interstate 29 just north of where I435 and I29 meet up would also be a good place. Another option to try might be hitching from the ramp coming out of KCI airport, a lot of the northbound traffic is likely going to [[St. Joseph]]. === North/East towards [[Des Moines]] === The intersection of I-35 and Missouri 152 in Liberty, MO is an ideal place to get a long distance ride this way. Additionally, exit 25 in Kearney on I-35 can be helpful for heading north. The Shoulder is extremely wide on the northbound on-ramp and most motorists pulling off from the south heading north to re-fuel have ample time to see you. Hitchhiking here from practically anywhere on the I-35 corridor in the KC metro area is extremely easy.  Any of the stoplights along Missouri Hwy 291 in Independence are good places to get a ride north as well since all northbound traffic coming from Lees Summit, Blue Springs, and Independence will be driving through here. === East towards [[St. Louis]] === The ramp to I-70 from Missouri Highway 7 in Blue Springs, MO on the outskirts of the metro area is an awesome place to catch a ride to [[St. Louis]] and all points east. === South towards [[Joplin]]===The intersection of Missouri Hwy 58 and I-49 (AKA US 71) in between Belton and Raymore is a great place to catch a long distance ride. Many people heading south will stop for gas/food and get back on at this ramp. If you catch a short distance ride several miles south to Peculiar, there is a truck stop there too. Avoid going south on US Hwy 69. [[User:Whisperingofthestars|Jason]] got a ride from [[Lawrence]] to KC to hitch south on the US 69. Cops pulled over within 10 minutes, told him that hitchhiking is [[lawlaws|illegal]] in the United States of America. Whaa, after 5 weeks hitchhiking the States, now they tell him? Hit the onramp again after they left, they returned, threatened with arrest. Taken to the state line and dumped on a countryside closed road, 5 miles away from anything. Sweet! Thank you, Kansas City!Thus the US 71 (I-49) south is probably more most advisable if you're heading south.
