Again, there are two routes. The direct road (Pyes Pa) goes directly to Rotorua, and might be easier because of no-stopping signs being put up on the other road (SH2). Take the Pyes Pa bus as far as Joyce Road and hitch from there.
==East to [[Te Puke]], [[Whakatane]], and the East Cape/ South to [[Rotorua]]==
While it may still be possible to hitch on SH2 east, it may be ricky because no-stopping signs have been put up. Find your way out to Baypark Speedway by taking the bus to Bayfair Shopping centre. Then head along the main road until you see the big stadium and the road splits into two, SH2 going east and SH29 curving back towards town. It should still be do-able by waiting opposite the stadium.
Alternatively take a bus out to Te Puke, from where there should be absolutly no problem getting a lift further East. All traffic passes through the main road (Jellicoe St), so you should be fine if you wait on the outer edges of town. Soon after Te Puke the road splits and heads either East of South.
