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.
=== South towards [[Joplin]]===
The intersection of Missouri Hwy 58 and I-49 (AKA US Hwy 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 [[laws|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 most advisable if you're heading south.
