Hitchhiking out

If coming from Latvia, there is no need to enter the city itself. Your driver might bring you to the crossing of the M20 with the Krestovskoe Schosse, where traffic turns west into Pskov. You will recognize some old Sovjet monument and a lot of street dogs (at least at night) on the right. Get out here and walk up along the street. Hitchhiking is possible everywhere, though maybe just before the railway bridge might be useful. Behind the bridge you'll also find a petrol station. About 4-5 km north there's also a police post located, those are great for hitchhiking.
