From downtown, take the number 86 OC transpo Transpo bus to towards Elmvale and keep walking in the direction the bus was facing when it dropped you get off, in about 15mins you will be at Southvale / Russell. Keep walking down Russell towards the intersection of St-Laurent and Walkley, then cross Walkley, turn left, and keep walking for about another 25minsRussell. You will get to an onramp that says 417 East Montréal. You might wait a while because traffic is limited Cross the street to the onramp. If you walk about another 25minssoutheast side of the intersection, you'll and go over a hill and find a perfect spot with plenty to the shoulder right at the start of room for cars to pull overthe right-turn lane. EnjoyThe last time I hitched from here, and may the Force be with youI got picked up in literally five minutes. It looks like the spot Just make sure your ride is under construction right nowgoing towards Montreal, and it's as from this point people can be going to be an onramp instead. And if a cop see you walking either northbound or southbound on this highway, they have to take you outthe 417.
There's also a pretty decent spot outside Lee's station. Walk up to Lee's Ave, turn right, and walk past the apartment complexes to the Trans Canada on-ramp. There isn't a shoulder, but there is a paved area right at the entrance of the On-Ramp where cars can stop. Wait times are usually under 40 mins, although can be longer depending on the day.
