West towards Warsaw (Poland), Kaunas, Klaipėda, Alytus, Marijampolė
'''Option 1'''
Next to the huge shopping mall "Maxima Baze" Savanorių pr. 247 which lies outside the city. You can get there by taking a free bus run by "Maxima" every hour, at **:18 from "Savanorių", or from [http://hitchwiki.org/maps/?place=12102 the centre of the city (info is in the spot description)] [http://www.maxima.lt/pirkeju-klubas/nemokamas-autobusas/ schedule on the carrier website] ("darbo dienomis" = Mon-Fri). Or, from the bus stop "Savanorių" on the Savanorių avenue take a bus 21, 22, 23, 29, 54 or trolleybus 4,6,11,12,14,16. To reach Savanorių from Main Station take Trolleybus 6. (Every 5-10 minutes).
Once you are there [https://maps.google.com/maps?ll=54.657698,25.137695], jump over walk east to the road onto junction along the other side (there's a newly built fence between motorway or parallel Pirkliu street > Kirtimų gatve. Then go under the two roads, but it's small bridge and go up just after you shouldn't hesitate cross it – there should be stairs just next to jump over it) - the bridge. It will take not more than 10 min. Then go to the parking opposite to "Maxima Baze" there you will see a small parking space which is a perfect spot for the cars to stop while you are thumbing on the road. Google Maps shows Krims Keeabs there. This place has never failed, and waiting times are always good.
But consider: You have to cross a proper motorway! For locals it seemed to be usual, for travellers it seemed just crazy. '''Note''' The safer possibility fastest optiomn is to take bus Nr. 29 at Savanorių bus stop towards Grigiškės, get out at huge market bus stop Gariūnai and then walk a little bit further, turn right and you'll appear standing on the motorway direction to Kaunas. From there on you can ask people at the petrol station or try it like the locals and hitchhike directly at the motorway. It seems A1 to be stupid, but it worked out twice.same parking
'''Note''' The fence on middle of the motorway is upgraded with a fence net and is 1,5-2 m high now. One crazy local was seen getting over it, but it's really not a good idea: if you aren't hit by a car, you can easily rip your clothes. So the best way from "Maxima Baze" is to walk east to the junction along the motorway or parallel Pirkliu street. Then go under the bridge and go up just after you cross it – there should be stairs just next to the bridge. It will take not more than 10 min. Then go to the parking opposite to "Maxima Baze".
