To get to the large péage where all the traffic in this direction must stop, take the metro line B, get off at the stop "La vache" then get the bus 60 or 69 and get off at "Laparrou". Near to this bus stop there is the small dead-end street "Impasse des Horticulteurs", at the end of which you can see the peage behind the tall metal fence and there is a
rail gate on the right hand side. Just beside the gate, you will see a net fence has been tramped down. Continue straight to the end of the path and you'll see two red doors, one with ""Autostoppeurs, bonne chance!!" written on. It's actually open ;)
In case itOption #1: to get directly to the toll (''péage'') starting the highway A62. From the metro station "La Vache" (Metro line 2), take the bus 60, get off at "Lapins", walk ahead (on Avenue de Front) for about 30 meters and take the first left (Chemin des Lapins) until you see some pedestrian bridge (currenly closed). From there you can jump across a small barrier, get in something that looks like a small abandonned field and walk along ahead for about 50 meters. You's ll see a one-way bridge to what will become the péage after about 200 meters. You want to walk along that portion, staying as much as possible on the right side of the safety barrier (notvery dangerous actually, go through it and climb but if the police see you, they won't stop to annoy you). In my opinion (Hertinek, aka Uncle_Franek), this is the top ultimate option to hitch north out of Toulouse. I've lived in the mound area almost all my life, and jump over another net fencehave experienced many different spots. Today I always use this one. Option #2 : a smaller peage but maybe easier to reach (I had to get there because there were policemen and higway employees at the main one), from the subway station La Vache, take the bus 69 toward Bruguières, then stop at Pont rouge, you then can 'll need to walk down a few hundred meters, cross the slope bridge and along the edge lane you'll be at Saint Jory's peage, I got a ride to the péage directlyAgen waiting just a few minutes.
Other option Option #3: a smaller peage but maybe easier you can walk to reach the entrance of the "périphérique" (I had ring road) at Pont Jumeaux as well (10mns walk from metro Canal du Midi), there are 2 traffic lights there. Easy to get go there because there were policemen and higway employees (plus standing at the main onepéage might be forbidden), from the subway station La Vachenice spot, take the bus 69 toward Bruguières, then stop at Pont rouge, you'll need but took me like 1 hour to walk get a few hundred meters, cross the bridge and you'll be at Saint Jory's peageride, I got a ride to Agen waiting just a few minutesboth times.
Second opinion UPDATE: you can walk The following way (option #4) does NOT work anymore! The door handles have been removed! Please inform other hitchhikers who might be used to use it! >> Option #4: To get to the entrance of large péage where all the traffic in this direction must stop, take the metro line B, get off at the stop "périphériqueLa vache" (ring road) then get the bus 60 or 69 and get off at Pont Jumeaux as well (10mns walk from metro Canal du Midi)"Laparrou".
