But because of bad quality of this road there are not many cars with far destination point. A lot of people going to Ivano-Frankivsk (Івано-Франківськ) by car use E50/M9 reaching Mykolayiv (Миколаїв) or Stryi (Стрий) and then turning directly to Ivano-Frankivsk. For more details see Southern direction.

=== Mini bus to Polish border ===
Not exactly hitching, but you can get a marshrutka (minibus) from the train station going to the closest Polish border point, the [[ShegyniMedyka-Medyka Shehyni border crossing]], which is not far from [[Przemyśl]] in Poland and along the E40/M11 roadit is allowed to cross on foot. It This minibus costs 23 25 UAH (Jan as of September 2014). Look or ask for one that says ''Lviv - Shegyni'' '''(Львів-Шегині)'''. It is allowed to cross the border on foot. There might be a long queue, as cigarette smuggling is a big problem so they have to do random checks. If you are not Polish or Ukrainian let the border guards know and they will move you to the front of the queue. (Update Jan 2014: there is now a separate entrance for eu/swiss passport holders next to the entrance for 'all passports' so hopefully the waiting time will be reduced).
