The Péage towards the East/South-East (Carcassonne, Narbonne, Perpignan, Montpellier) A61
=== The [[Péage]] towards the East/South-East (Carcassonne, Narbonne, Perpignan, Montpellier) A61===
First, take metro line B in the direction ''Ramonville'' to the very last stop, then you can :
* hitch from 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.
* 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.
>> We had success with this in July 2016. Warning: there are large trucks driving along here, so try to stay off the highway as you're walking to the péage. - [[User:Darkhawk|Darkhawk]]

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.

"NOT RECOMMENDED"
When I was hitching through Toulouse the metro was undergoing construction. I hopped a train to Labège-Innopole (the nearby shopping mall has free wifi) and then tried to access the highway from there. I tried to cross the river to get to the barrier de péage but the following bridge has high fences which would be difficult to climb over. I then had to walk north and back south to get across the river.
==== Towards [[Carcassonne]], [[Montpellier]], [[Barcelona]] ([[Spain]]) ====
Most of the cars are going this way, you should get a ride in a few minutes. The Raimonville metro station (line B) is very close to one of the roundabouts that lead to the highway (A61). Otherwise, the first toll of the highway is 30 minutes walking from there and offers higher chances.

The car Most of the cars are not going this way, you should get a ride in a few minutes. The Raimonville metro station (line B) is very close to fast and there are space one of the roundabouts that lead to stopthe highway (A61). However Otherwise, I waited for more than one hour to have a catch. Most the first toll of the car was going toward Bordeaux or Paris. But it was a sunday afternoon between one highway is 30 minutes walking from there and tow o'clock. September 22, 2019offers higher chances.  
==== Towards [[Foix]], [[Andorra]] ====
 
About 20 kilometres after the péage the motorway splits, with most traffic going on to Montpellier.
The best way is to get to the rest station 5 kilometres after the péage. There you can continue searching for drivers. A sign reading ''direction Foix'' can be useful.<br />
