* ''Southbound''
** A7 – Marseille, [[Montpellier]]
** A47 – [[Saint Etienne]]
* ''Northbound''
** A6 – [[Dijon]], [[Paris]]
** A42 – [[Geneva|Genève]]

Marché Aire de Gros is situated in the very Service de Communay Sud rest stop direction south of the Saone peninsula. Coming from "Rue Casimir Périer" You reach a street alongside - A7 with lots of cars going to the the motorway. Vasy there– Marseille, a lot of [[Montpellier]] or A47 – Saint Etienne<br/>Aires de Service de Communay Nord rest stopdirection north -and-go. I stood for 2h near the train station "Lyon-Perrache" and then 5 min there. A6 – [[Dijon]], [[Paris]] or A42 – [[Geneva|Genève]]
A petrol There's one bus going to Communay, the closest village, the bus #179 From Rond point Darilly (Métro Parilly), but it goes 7 times a day on workdays and 4 times the day on week-ends. there's several stops in the village. You can check out the timetable [http://www.rhone.fr/file/idocumentsattaches/transport/lr_ligne_179.pdf here]. If you missed it there's a bus 39 from metro Venissieux, but goes only until Solaize, 5 km closer to the center on road D307/N7, leading to the motorway. The station on is about 1 km south from the interchange. The service-stations are sealed off from the normal road but at least for the northbound spot, you can easily climb over the A6 North near Limonest fence. Finding a hitch here is potentially goodvery easy. If you know how to get here, it is definitely worth the hustle. (see above)

Take bus 171 from "Hotel de ville" next to Medium sized rest area on the river in Lyon ([http://www.tcl.fr/en/Getting-Around/Getting-around/171 timetable]) highway with petrol station and get off at Montluel train station (penultimate stop)restaurant. Head east about 1km along Ave. des Platanes Lots of traffic going towards Geneva; also, vehicles with Dutch and Blvd. Robert SchumanGermans number plates going via Dijon. Turn right at Halfway before the intersection onto Rue des Chartinières. Head south about 1km crossing under the railway tracks road splits in direction Geneva and the bridge over the motorway.

Bad Route Take bus 171 from Hotel De Ville next to Germany? <br>I found very little traffic going towards Germany / Bourg-en-Bresse from this location, the river in Lyon and get off at Montluel train station (penultimate stop). Head east about 1km along Ave Des Platanes and almost none going all Blvd Robert Schuman. Turn right at the way to Germanyintersection onto Rue Des Chartinières. Little truck traffic Head south about 1km crossing under the railway tracks and mostly trucks stopping for long reststhe bridge over the motorway. For Take the amount of time it takes first turn left after the bridge and follow the road close to get to this rest stop it the motorway. There is probably better a small space to head first to Dijon enter the petrol station, only for pedestrians, behind the little house at the end of the parking lot.The bus trip takes about 45 mins (2 euros one way) with another 20 mins walking. It goes through some small French villages and from there continue towards Germanyalong the way lots of big supermarkets in case you need food. -flasher702
=== West towards [[Clermont-Ferrand]], [[Bordeaux]] {{afr|89}} ===
* '''Warning''': Since 2013, the [[A89 (France)|A89]] runs directly from Lyon to Bordeaux via Clermont-Ferrand. Most hitchhiker websites still advise you to head south towards St. Etienne over the A47 first, but this new route is much more efficient.
If you want to go to Clermont-Ferrand, take the A89 : it's easy and fast.''Option 1'''
Another way that Jojo tried in December 2018: Go '''Option 2''' Or go to Gare de Vaise and ride Bus 6 (not C6, just 6) to Techlid and stop at "Les Ormeaux", 10m further there's an entrance to the back of the gas station of "Aire de Bruyere". You can ask people to go to A89 (towards Clermont Ferrant) or A6 (towards north). The first car I asked took me all the way to Clermont Ferrant.

'''Option 1 ''' Total petrol station
Total petrol station on A7, south of Lyon, on the level of a town called Vernaison, is a perfect place. To get there, you should take a train heading to Vernaison (€3.20,). At Vernaison you cross the river (there are two bridges and an island between) once on the other site of the river follow road left (north) walk until u reach A7 highroad and walk down ramp next to Energies Nouvelles sign. You need to walk direction opposite to driving cars 1 km (don't try to use the way behind the propertys). The distance from Vernaison train station to the petrol station is around 3 km.
'''Option 2'''
Tram T1 direction Debourg, and get off at the stop Musée des Confluences at a junction of the Pasteur bridge, where you have a small BP petrol station. There is a bus stop on the direction of road entering the highway - plenty of space for the cars to pull over. Since there's a traffic lights, cars are not driving fast

You can also hitchhike closer to Lyon. There is an [[on-ramp]] in Lyon where you can hitch straight onto the motorway to A43/E70. Take the metro Line D to Mermoz-Pinel. You will find a bus lane on the avenue Jean Mermoz, where the highway starts. It is easy to get a lift there with a sign. Don't forget to ask the person who takes you if they are going to the highway, because they could also take the national road.

'''Warning''': the [[A89 (France)|A89]] runs directly from Lyon to Bordeaux via Clermont-Ferrand. Most hitchhiker websites still advise you to head south towards St. Etienne over the A47 first, but this new route is much more efficient.
First take the metro D ("Gare de Vaise" direction) and get out at "Gorge de Loup" station.
Then take the bus [http://www.tcl.fr/content/download/525592/4081129/version/8/file/FH+86_Hiver.pdf 86] (checked 2014) to "La Tour de Salvagny" (The metro ticket is still available for this trip).Get out of the bus at "La Tour de Salvagny" bus stop (20 minutes ride). Then take the first road on your right called "Avenue des Monts d'Or".
Walk straight 500m to a bridge. In front of the bridge, turn right and walk down to the roundabout. There is a nice place for cars to stop just after the roundabout in the direction of Clermont-Ferrand.
Indicate that you would like to go to the "péage" (Highway toll gate). Almost 50% of the people passing through the péage are going straight to Clermont-Ferrand. So have a good ride!
