=== West towards [[Hrodna]], [[Vilnius]] ===
=== North-West towards [[Zasłaŭje]], [[Maładziečna]], [[Smarhoń]], [[Miadzieł]], [[Narač]] ===

Take Metro (2nd (red) line ''Aŭtazavodskaja linija'') to ''Mahilioŭskaja' ("Магілёўская") station, then take a bus buses #110, #110a, #160, #160a and other to "Sosny", or #112 to ''Sokal'' get . Get off at the station "Pavarot na Sosny" ("Паварот на Сосны") on the top of the junction with M1. You can try hitching just after the junction or walk 1.5 2 km towards junction of M4 (towards [[Mahilioŭ]]) and M5 (towards [[Homiel]]) roads.
Alternatively, you can take bus #93 from the same station and get off right after it turns off from the motorway, walk a few hundred metres in the same direction with the traffic to the closest bus stop on the motorway to start hitchhiking from there.

An alternative is to take any public transport going to the airport of Minsk. It is outside the city on the road to Moscow. If you let yourself drop on the last turn before the airport, you are on a perfect spot and direct lifts to Moscow are not uncommon.

Take Metro (1st (blue) line Maskoŭskaja linija) to "Malinaŭka" ("Малінаўка") station. Then you can either walk about 1 km or take bus #28 (direction "Karžanieŭskaha" ("Каржанеўскага")) to ''Pavarot na Malinaŭku'' ("Паварот на малінаўку") stop (next stop). Travel time by bus is about 3 min.
