== Hitchhiking out ==
Hitching out of Oslo is usually difficult from the city center(except going south). There are several motorway entrances behind the tunnel. The further outside the city you are, the easier it gets.
=== North towards [[Trondheim]] {{E|6}} ===
Note: If you're heading to Sweden on the E18 you have to start on the E6. Be very careful as there is only one point where the E6 branches to the E18. It's fairly easy to miss, but when you see it ask the driver to turn off even if they are continuing south. There is a roundabout where you can get out, and then the driver can get back on the E6.
'''Option 1 - Barcode ''' With the new iconic addition to the Oslo high-rise waterfront, Barcode, hitchhiking south has become much easier, and thus removed the need for the 30 minute metro ride. From the central station, just pass the high-rises until the end, where it turns right (and south). Follow the sidewalk on this for about 250 meters, until you get to a traffic light. On the right side of the road, there is possible for cars to stop (parking forbidden sign does not mean cars can't pull over). You only need a ride to the shell station at Mortensrud in order to get going further. Masosial got a ride here after 30 seconds the first time he tried. '''Option 2 - Mortensrud '''
Take metro line 3 to "Mortensrud" and get off at the last station, then cross the bridge over metro track and walk for about 300 meters. You will enter petrol station on motorway E6. Either ask drivers there, hitchhike on the busstop on the motorway just 100 meters next to the gasstation, on the onramp itself, or on the busstop before the onramp. Basically just go there and find your favorite way to find a ride going south.
''' Option 2 3 - From Ljansbakken (closer to the city than the other ones) '''
Take one of the following buses 83, 500, T9 to the stop Ljansbakken.
This spot is before the road turns into a motorway at a busstop with plenty of space for people to pull over safely, a sign might be useful at this spot.
'''Option 3 4 - Hellerud '''
You may want to try Esso petrol station (diesel is cheaper there so lots of people fills up there and other advantage is there is a MC D. right next to it). To get there, take subway to Hellerud, turn right into Smalvollveien and walk till you get to Esso. Some might find useful to know that there seem to be fewer ticket controls on that line.
