Another option is to hitch from a truck stop with a trucker.
'''South'''
[[User:Whisperingofthestars|Jason]] got a ride from [[Lawrence]] to KC to hitch south on the 69. Cops pulled over within 10 minutes, told him that hitchhiking is [[laws|illegal]] in the United States of America. Whaa, after 5 weeks hitchhiking the States, now they tell him? Hit the onramp again after they left, they returned, threatened with arrest. Taken to the state line and dumped on a countryside closed road, 5 miles away from anything. Sweet! Thank you, Kansas City!
Thus the 71 south is probably more advisable if you're heading south.

'''East'''
The ramp to I-70 from Missouri Highway 7 in Blue Springs, MO on the outskirts of the metro area is a good place to catch a ride to Columbia and all points east.
'''West'''
The ramp to I-70 from K-7 highway in Bonner Springs, KS is a good place to catch a ride to Topeka and points West including Lawrence. The on ramp to 70 here is very long and abnormal and the majority of the ramp is turnpike property. Make sure you are standing right off the side of K-7 and don't go walking more than a couple feet onto the "ramp" or the cops will threaten arrest. In Bonner Springs here hitchhiking is completely legal, although the turnpike authority will try to tell you otherwise and intimidate you into not hitching. Have no fear as they can't do anything to you if you aren't on turnpike property.
Hitching to Lawrence from K10 may be easier, but you will have to be out of any city limits as hitchhiking is illegal in cities in Johnson County and the police will arrest you there.
