-hitch from '''Option 2: Canal du Midi near the park and ride parking lot, asking people to bring you to the péage or to the first service area, Toulouse-sud, 25 km further.Jardin du Grand Rond'''
-hitch from the roundabout: turn left at the traffic circle just out the metro station. Follow the ''autoroute/Montpellier'' or ''Carcassonne'' signs to the entrance of the motorway; it's the first exit on the right of the second roundabout. -get to the péage '''on foot''': the -péage is only 2km further than the roundabout. 'Option2Canal du Midi near the Jardin du Grand Rond This street leads directly to the highway A61. You can wait next to the small bridge over the canal, there's a bus-stop so cars can easily stop.From here you can get to the rest station 5 km after the big péage, from where you can continue towards the Mediterranean Sea.This is the fastest way for cars getting from the centre on the higyway, so there's always a lot of traffic.

Other Option:
take Bus 46 to Teynier or Bus 64 to Casteret (possibly other buses or metro stop close by also, didn't check) from there walk to the petrol station next to the street Teynier. The petrol station is directly on A620, it works best for Tarbes, but also for Montpellier, Andorra or Spain.

'''Option 3'''
There is a small [https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/43.59418/1.39711 petrol station on the highway] in town, before the split towards either Andorra or Carcassonne. To get there, you can take Linéo 3 or bus 67 to Pont Rocade, walk across the highway and turn right immediately, or Linéo 2 to Castanet. There's not heaps of traffic, and much of it stays in town, but it's definitely possible to get rides in either of the major directions.
==== Towards [[Carcassonne]], [[Montpellier]], [[Barcelona]] ([[Spain]]) ====
Otherwise, the first toll of the highway is 30 minutes walking from there and offers higher chances.
==== Towards [[Foix]], [[Andorra]] ====
From the stop, walk in the direction the bus came from, through a small lot, following the sound of the motorway (you can hear it). After a while you have to climb over a small grassy knoll, and you arrive on a ''route nationale'', parallel to the motorway, and from the top of the hump you can see the toll gate in the distance. Walk along the ''route nationale'' to your right until you arrive at a roundabout. Go left, over the bridge that crosses the motorway, you're now on the right side, follow the motorway to the toll gate. If no cops are around and you feel lucky you can hitch from the inter-lane spaces (effective but illegal...) or otherwise go to the small service-area just behind (no petrol pumps but people do stop occasionally, and you can always wave a thumb at passing cars).
