The When asking for directions (to the highway etc), the easiest way of getting directions is to say that you want to walk. Otherwise they'll just guide you to the next taxi or busstop.

Due to most people do not own a vehicle, hitchhiking seems to be a common way to get around. But the Turkmen hitchhiking is like taking a taxi, so payment is expected. Therefore one must always make it clear before entering the car, that there is no payment involved. Inside Ashgabat it is hard, but the rest of the country is not to difficult. Don't be botherd mentioning that you are hitch-hiking, as they won't understand what it means, just say that you have no money/very little.
Infrastructure: The big roads are mostly tarred, with big holes here and there. Straight with no noticeable elevation.
