Hitching is common in The Gambia and especially near the relatively developed western region locals hitch regularly. The two main highways along the south and north bank of the river see lots of traffic with a high proportion of personal vehicles. Getting rides with the police or military is also relatively easy.

Something that works in most of West Africa; if someone is hesistant about taking you along just ask them to take you to the next gendarmerie stop. If you have all your papers in order they will be friendly (albeit very curious on whether you have any 'cadeaus' for them), and can many times very authoritatively ask cars they stop to take you along if they are going your way.
