Go south from the Orthodox church or the bus station on the east side of the street, then at the intersection cross the street and turn east, and finally turn south after going under the two railroad bridges. There's a bus stop [http://hitchwiki.org/maps/place/957/] across from (closed) a petrol station that gives ample space for a car to stop. Stop is shown on [http://alk.tiehallinto.fi/alk/kelikamerat/kamera-C1850201.html left in this camera]. It's sometimes little bit difficult for drivers to stop here, since they're just coming from big crossroad.
Use a sign because the road divides after some tens of kilometers into the E12 towards to Helsinki and Hämeenlinna and the E63 to Turku, and with a sign you might get a direct ride all the way to your destination.
It's a motorway the whole way from Tampere to Helsinki and with a sign you usually get a direct ride to your destination. If not, it's better to continue hitch hiking onramps (there's usually a bus stop) than on the motorway.
