The extensive network of tunnels make hitching out of the city close to impossible. The speedways almost completely go through the city, so it's quite hard to find an exit point. If you don't find it right inside the city, you'll have to walk a lot North, because of the long tunnels and the strange shape of the city.
You may try to get a ride from the city centre. Behind the central bus station there is the Goods Terminal of Schenker, a big freight company. You could also try your chance at traffic lights and hopefully succeed, but nobody reading or writing this ever has! There is a big junction close to the central lake (Byparken Smalungeren) [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=bergen,+norway&sll=40.956468,-74.058688&sspn=1.088945,2.469177&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Bergen+railway+station,+Hordaland,+Norway&ll=60.383963,5.336051&spn=0.008409,0.020771&t=h&z=16 where the E16, E39 and it S55 meet], which is the main exit of Bergen, but there are many directions connected, and the place is not pleasantto hitch from.
If you are willing to walk, or are somehow in the northern part, try Sandviksveien junction with Sjøgaten. It is about 1.5 km north from Central Bay(Vagen).
Another option would be the several entries from Breiviken village - this seems the most legal place to hitch, there isn't much traffic, and it's 3 km away from the bay, but more cars will turn on the main road and that place seems more friendly.
If you are South from the Big Baybig bay (Store Lungegardsvannet), try the crossing of Fjosangerveien and Ibsensgate, where the traffic lights are. The problem is always that there are many directions from there (including the centre).
If you can get a lift to Nyborg, then you won. They have a huge roundabout. It is 12 km North from Bergen.
