Wait times from here are generally quite short, these officers are more uptight now. Talk taking anywhere from 5 to them 30 minutes in a calm manner if you encounter them and try to explain most cases. Just make sure your situation ride is going towards Montreal, as if you are stuck, and need from this point people can be going either northbound or southbound on the 417.

Cornwall from Ottawa is fairly difficult. It may be just better to just hitchhike to the 401 (follow directions to Toronto), then at the onroutes ask people who are going to Cornwall. (Make sure you get dropped at a onroute going the direction Montreal rather than Toronto, or get dropped at prescott) This is a less direct ride but you have much better chances on the 401.
However, it is possible to hitchhike to Cornwall with a shorter method. Follow instructions hitchhike to Montreal. Tell the driver to drop you at Casselman. take 138 road. This is supposed to be a 80km limit road but drivers treat it like a highway so STAY SAFE.
== West towards [[North Bay]]/[[Sudbury]] ==
Note: You don't have to go from downtown. Any entrance ramp on 417 will do. Just write Kanata on cardboard.
== South towards [[Toronto]] ==
Take the 118 to the furthest West of Baseline. It should be called Baseline and Robertson Rd. Here you will see the 416 highway, which goes as South as Prescott. At the entrance ramp here, you can find a ride usually to Kemptville. That is about halfway. Then on the next onramp get to Prescott. Once at Prescott you can find the onramp for the 401 direction Toronto. Try to get to a OnRoute (Ontario service station). Here there is a lot of restaurants and so people have time to chat with you to determine if they trust you or not. At night these service stations are reliable places to hitchhike. Try to hitchhike at a service station without looking like a hitchhiker, so that you have less chance of getting kicked out.
