One way of getting out of St. John's is via Pitts Memorial Drive. It's located downtown towards the west end of Water Street. A small traffic island underneath a set of traffic lights is the best place to plant. It is important to have a “TCH” sign or to ask the driver if he or she is going as far as the TCH on-ramp, because Pitts Memorial is a busy commuter roadway unsuitable for hitchhiking. Avoid the once-suitable Kenmount Road area as recent urban expansion and increased traffic has made this route difficult for hitchhiking.
A $15 bus ride to Whitbourne will save the hassle of trying to get out of the city and off the Avalon Peninsula. You stand a much better chance of scoring a good ride quick from here than in town! At the very least get a cab to the overpass. The cabbie will know where you mean ;) but the bus is probably cheaper and more effective.
