Hitchhiking is very common in '''Israel'''. [[Hitchhiking]] is often done by pointing to the ground with the pointing finger far from the body, <!-- maybe someone has a nice picture of this? --> instead of raising a thumb. But possibly raising a thumb will be understood as well. Variations exists such as pointing straight down while bobbing the hand up and down to indicate a short distance hitch, or pointing right or left to indicate a desire to turn right or left at the next major junction.
Hitchhiking in Israel is usually done without a [[signs|sign]], since stopping in almost all junctions is possible. An exception for this is the new Road 6, few highways that on all of in which stopping in is only possible on on-ramps and [[petrol station hitchhiking|petrol stations]]. The highways are:* road no. 1 between Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv.* road no. 5 between Tel-Aviv and the West bank.* road no. 6 that crosses the country.* road no. 20 ("Netivay Ayalon") in Tel-Aviv.* road no. 50 ("Begin Highway") in Jerusalem.
