===Going South, [[New York]], through highway [[Quebec highways|A-15]]===
You can walk North from the metro station '''Longueuil''' and find the bridge crossing the highway to join the [[Quebec highways|A-15A15]] in direction of the [[New York state|New York State]]/[[United States|USA]]. It's probably not 100% legal to stand on the good spot there, but you will probably quickly get a ride.
A legal alternative is to catch the southbound A-15 [[Quebec highways|A15]] traffic coming off the [http://maps.google.com/maps?q=pont+champlain,+montreal&ie=UTF8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ll=45.464134,-73.493514&spn=0.00623,0.014591&z=16&om=1 Pont Champlain (bridge)]. Theoretically, you could take [http://www.rtl-longueuil.qc.ca/w1/horaires.wcs?mode=harr&lig=14&dir=O&tra=1&t=34416 Bus #14] from the Longueuil bus station to the Brossard area. Tell the driver you want to get off at Boulevard Marie-Victorin. For a reference point, look up the intersection of Place Turenne and Boulevard Marie-Victorin.
Because of the speed of traffic, you will want to hold a large, visible sign. Some suggestions: "NEW YORK" or "PLATTSBURGH, N.Y."
On the U.S. side, A-15 [[Quebec highways|A15]] becomes Interstate-87 or "The Northway" as it is known in northern New York State. South of [[Albany]], I-87 is known as "The Thruway".
