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 555 meet], which is the main exit of Bergen, but the place is not pleasant to hitch from.
If you are willing to walk20 minutes from the city center, or are somehow in the northern part, try Sandviksveien junction with Sjøgaten. It is about 1.5 km north from Central Bay (Vagen).Just next to Kristiansholm there is a Shell gas station in the junction with Sandviksveien and 585 road where you can ask the people directly. Otherwise, just next to it there are some really good traffic lights where you can show the sign Nyborg from the gas station and cars can stop really easy.Abreycierra was in this spot just 5 minuts and a car picked him up.
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.
