This motorway E61/A2 starts from the Ljubljana bypass. The best way to join this motorway is from the street Celovška cesta, at the bus station Šentvid. You can get there easily by taking bus number 1, 25, or 8 from the city centre in direction of Vizmarje. You can hitchhike on the station, but make sure you have a sign. Even better spot is a tunnel about 500 m ahead. In that tunnel there is an extra lane for cars to stop and you can catch cars going from 3 different directions into the tunnel, unlike the bus station, where you only cover one direction. To get there keep walking away from the centre and turn right at the traffic light where the cars leave the street and join the highway. The signs are visible from the station. After you turned right you should see the tunnel. My favourite place is at the end because cars have a lot of time to see you. If people who pick you up dont go as far as you like, you can go off at ex toll station Torovo and keep hitchiking there.

From the city center (Dunajska cesta, Slovenska cesta) take bus number 6 or 6B in direction south, till the stop Dolgi most (last stop in case of #6), which is just after big crossroads with motorway signs, before the bridge above the road. Go back to the crossroads and you will see the entry lane into the motorway. There will also be an entry to a parking of a small house, stand on the side there with your [[signs|sign]] (you will see where everybody else stands...).
If your destination is [[Venice]] or further, the easiest way is via Nova Gorica: use sign GO and ask to be dropped at the service area on the border. For [[Trieste]] it doesn't work well with TS sign - best option might be to use [[Koper|KP]] sign and then ask the driver to drop you off at Kozina exit (go right in the crossroads after toll booths). It's only 3 km from the border and on the main Rijeka-Trieste road.
