Their are two different techniques to go this direction.
*'''First option:''' the spot is a kind of a [[roundabout]], next to some traffic lights, right at the beginning of the A41, including traffic lights to ask. From the city center (bus stop 'Victor Hugo' or 'Chavant'), you can reach the place with the bus C1 direction 'MEYLAN Maupertuis' and stop at 'La Carronnerie Basse'. The ticket costs 1,5€ in a machine (at any tram stop) or 2€ on board.
Just before the stop, the bus leave leaves the highway so you have to walk back for some meters.
There is a bit of space to stop after the traffic lights, but you can just ask people or wait with your thumb up. A very good option is to have a board written "PEAGE" (means 'toll') on it, which is 30km further. A lot of cars go there and from the péage you will have no problem to continue on to Chambéry, Annecy, Genève, Torino, etc.
'''Free/blackriding option''': walking to the spot from the city center should take you one half an hour or more on a not very nice highway-side, or you could stand at the traffic lights on the beginning of the D1090, next to the big stadium (called the 'Stade des Alpes' in the Parc Paul Mistral). You can as well blackride the tram B direction 'GIERES Plaines des Sports', stop at 'Grands Sablons'. Follow in the same direction the tram lines until you cross the bridge (your destination is on the left side of the bridge) and from there reach the petrol station. Then walk alongside the highway until the first red lights.*'''Second solution:''' the gas station Elf Total "les Sablons" on the D1090/Avenue de Verdun is about a kilometer before the first option. Follow the 'free/blackriding option' instructions to get there, but you can pay the tram if you wish ;). A lot of people are not going very far but you can always get dropped at least to the next petrol station on the A41, before Brignoud, which is a really good spot to go further.At night, there are not so many cars passing trough the "les Sablons" gaz station.
