They love foreign tourists, though, as long as you keep telling them that you love Norway.
One thing that makes hitching easy in Norway is that almost all of the population lives near the E6 road, which extends from Itlay to almost all the way north, so its pretty hard to get lost, as long as you are headed the right way.
North is spelled "NORD" and south is "SOR," with a slash through the "O," which gives it a short sound, as opposed to the unslashed "O," which is pronounced "oo," as in "book."
To go north, a convenient place is Inherredsveien, which around where it crosses Mellomveien. You can get there by crossing one of the bridges bridge east of the train station, Bakke Bur (bridge) or Nidelv Bru. Inherredsveien becomes the E6, an international road that goes all the way from Italy to the North Cape. To go south, you can intercept the E6 at Heimdal, near the train station, by taking a train or city bus south.
It is illegal to hitch on the Expressway in Norway, but not illegal from rest stops or on ramps. It is legal to camp out almost anywhere if it is a good distance from a private house, but not permanently.
Hithing is MUCH easier in the beautiful north (at least in the Summer), where many locals hitch regularly to commute.
