=== North towards [[St. Petersburg]] ===
=== East towards [[Vladimir]], [[Nizhny Novgorod]], the Far East{{Motorway Number Russia|7}} ===
Take the metro to the station ''Shosse Entuziastov'' (Шоссе Энтузиастов). From there, walk up to the main street and you'll directly be at the bus stop. Here, take bus #702 or #214 to ''Southern Izmaylovo'' (южное Измайлово). Get out at the last stop. Here you can already hear the highway, though it's a bit difficult to find it in first place. Walk back in south-eastern direction until you'll find a McDonalds restaurant. This is directy located at the highway junction of the ring. Walk for around 150m east down under the bridge until you find a good spot to start hitchhiking. Additionally, you can also walk 300m further until the petrol station and start hitchhiking on the hard shoulder just behind it. Traffic here is huge.
=== South-West towards [[Kyiv]] ([[Ukraine]]) {{Motorway Number Russia|3}} ===
Take the metro to the station ''Yugo-Zapadnaya'' and then take bus #707 or #611 to the stop ''Dudkino''. You can hitchhike directly from the bus stop. This is the highway ''Kievskoe shosse'' that goes all the way to [[Kyiv]]. Soon the highway becomes a simple two-lane road, so that even if your driver must drop you off only after a few dozen kilometres, you can simply remain beside the road and soon get another lift onward.
Other possibility is to take a train (elektrichka) to a small town '''Aprelevka''' (look at the map) - it is directly situated on the '''M3''' {{Motorway Number Russia|3}} highway Moscow/Kiev. Just walk 1 km to the highway (ask people about the direction). However, cars here move fast.
=== West towards [[Pskov]], [[Riga]] ([[Latvia]]) {{Motorway Number Russia|M99}} ===
A good starting point could be somewhere near ''Ramenskoe'' at km 0 of the [[M9 (Russia)|M9]], but this fact is not proved yet. Rumors say there's a gas station as well.
