Go to "Hell"! That's probably the most convenient place to hitchhike from out of Trondheim. Hell's a small town which you can reach with the local train (it costs about 78 kronars). Arriving in Hell you should take the mandatory Selfie with the station sign adding that you ended up in Hell and then leave the station westward (the direction you came from). There's a small tunnel leading to the other side of the rails. You continue along the small path towards west and reach some sort of parking lot after a while. There's a trampled down fence at the last lot where you can climb over to the E6 - it's a small rest area that is perfect for hitching. Otherwise you could just walk around the bushes and trees - the other side of the motorway parking space is open. Cars are about 90 km/h fast - so that's a downside. Also the airport just a few miles further might be a problem. I waited one hour what I thought was pretty long for such an ideal place. I don't think that the bridges close to the train station are a good option at all - way to central.
'''UPD and Tested in July 2023''':
To go north, an extremely convenient place is a bus stop Skatval kirke 63.51290289598749, 10.859000312176718. To get there take a local train to Skatval stasjon, this is the last station to which you use a single ticket (46 NOK) valid in transportation zone A. Then walk 2km towards Skatval Church. At that point the local traffic is filtered ouт and there is enough space to stop for a car.

Jass waited here for five minutes in August 2010 (after walking all the way to the tunnel and cursing..walking back and losing over an hour..).
Also, close to this spot is the 'largest autonomous syndacalist anarcho community in Europe'..self proclaimed, I suppose, but still quite large. You should be able to find a place to sleep if you follow the road winding up north past the coffee factory. You'll see the graffiti on the right hand side. They're incredibly unorganized and not so helpful, but someone should have some space, somewhere..
'''A PERFECT SPOT''' (April 2024): To go south, an convenient place is a bus stop Lundamo 63.15150417644334, 10.279959584606285 in front of Lundamo train station. To get there take a local train to Lundamo stasjon, this is the last station to which you use a single ticket (46 NOK) valid in transportation zone A. At that point you are well visible and right by the E6 motorway, cars go 50 km/h and there is a large shoulder for drivers to pull over. This spot is perfect because all the town and very local Trondheim-traffic is already filtered out.

You need to get out of the center a little bit, but here are some of the "tested" places within 1h walking distance from the city center
- Lade - 63.447251, 10.426642 - beautiful spot, easily accessible from Ladehammerveien.- Korsvika - a convenient camp spot with WC is 63.44960496283469, 10.43332211036948. Walking along Ladestien, there are many convenient camp spots - Rotvoll is one of them 63.43929095396617, 10.488150942098569.
- Lade - 63.445006, 10.457760 - path to the forest, not so nice and some garbage laying around, but manageable
(essentially once you get to Bymarka, it is relatively easy to find a camp spot, these are just the ones I personelly tried)
- Teisendammen (Bymarka) - 63.422486, 10.345899 - steep hill, many places around the dam
- Baklidammen (Bymarka) - 63.417107, 10.323567 - very steep hill from the city, but the place is beautiful
