The [[Transcanadian Highway]] is the only main highway on the island, it goes east from west. Although Newfoundlanders can be considered some of the nicest people, hitchhiking can be difficult in this province.  Hitchhiking '''is''' legal all across the province, no matter where you are, shoulders are decent for stopping. The only problem is the drivers, and the amount of traffic. One of the only sources of long distance drivers there are are from the ferry from [[Cape Breton]] to [[Port-aux-Basques]]. If you are not on the highway as the cars come out of that ferry going east (or were unfortunate enough to have not found anyone willing to give you a ride off the ferry, you have zero traffic eastward. Westward is a different story, as most long distance drivers are heading to the ferry at various times. Early in the morning is the best time to leave, because it takes 10 hours to cross, and the two ferries generally depart to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia at around 7AM and 11PM. There is also a second ferry in the summer that departs from Argentia, Newfoundland. This ferry costs much more to get on and also takes 8-10 hours longer, and most people heading to it are tourists who don't want to drive across the island to go back. My only advice to hitchikers in Newfoundland is: "Keep walking backwards me-son!"
