'''Option 1''' From the on-ramp near ''Soboli'' and the ''Grobnik'' airport and racetrack (''Automotodrom''), or the tollbooth which is next to it. There are two ways to get there:
→Direction Zagreb, Zadar and Split
If you want to go to Dalmatia ([[Zadar]], [[Split]] etc.), you can try it directly from Rijeka, but it is easier to first get to Zagreb (to the Lučko ramp) and continue to Dalmatia from there.
'''Option 1''' Crodux petrol station / Mcdonalds / parking You have to take bus #2 and travel to the stop Diračje near motorway junction 5 on the west side of the city. Then go straight along the main road. On the left you'll recognize a sing for Pula, Trieste, Ljubljana. You can hitchhike there by the signs (ignore ''no autostop'' signs, it's very hard to have problems with police) on the beginning of the motorway or you can go to Crodux petrol station 1 km direction Italy, walk to Andrije Mohorovičića street cross it by tunnel and walk a gravel road on opposite side of highway) '''Option 2''' From the on-ramp near ''Soboli'' and the ''Grobnik'' airport and racetrack (''Automotodrom''), or the tollbooth which is next to it. There are two ways to get there: '''Option 2/A''' Going there with a local bus. This is a bit tricky, it is difficult to see which bus goes where. Your purpose is to get as close to the "Main statue" as possible. This is a huge monument next to the highway, 2 km before the on-ramp and the tollbooth. Go to the Delta bus terminal, which is in the centre of Rijeka, 500m away from the theatre ''HNK Ivana pl. Zajca''. Take bus #12, #14 or #16. It is a good idea to check timetables before (see below at the section about public transport). Ask the driver to leave you near the main statue or the tollbooth. With bus #16, he can leave you directly at the statue. With bus #12, it is not sure - ask the driver to bring you as close to to the statue and the highway as possible. [[User:Onmyown]] says it takes 3 km from the stop of bus #12 to the hitching spot. With bus #14, get off in Cavle, and change to bus #15, which also passes by the statue. You can also get off in Cavle and change to bus #15 with buses #12 and #16. Bus #15 takes quite a long time to get from Cavle to the main statue - first it makes some detours to go into some beautiful Croatian villages.

From the statue, you have to walk 2 km along the local road, but you can already start hitchhiking here, sometimes locals help and pick you up. At the on-ramp, you can choose to hitchhike directly, or walk 200m forward on the highway to get to the toll gate. On the ramp waiting time will be max. 20 min. but in general you wait there for a few minutes.
'''Option 12/B''' Go to the main bus station in Rijeka and catch a bus going to Zagreb. Just tell the driver to drop you off at the tollbooth (about 20km from Rijeka). Offer him about 15 or 20 Kuna.
'''Option 23''' Go to new road near a port. There you can stay after lights, which are on the crossroad of Brajdica street and Šetalište Andrije Kačića Miošića. There is a lane from where cars have to go out, so there is good place to catch a car.
=== Direction [[Pula]] and [[Istria]] in general ===
