When you get out at the station in ''Ożarów Mazowiecki'' just leave the station at the Northern side and follow the street North until you reach a bigger street (about 500m). Another few hundred meters to the East you will find a bus stop with plenty of space to stop. It's just one lane, cars are going quite slow and you avoid a great deal of local traffic out of Warsaw.
=== South towards [[Radom]], [[Kielce]], [[Kraków]] {{National Road Number Poland|7}} {{European Route Number|77}}===
* '''Option 1'''
=== Southwest towards [[Wrocław]] {{National Road Number Poland|8}} {{European Route Number|67}}, [[Łódź]] {{National Road Number Poland|72}}, [[Katowice]] {{National Road Number Poland|1}} {{European Route Number|75}} ===
Get to shopping centre <b><i>'''''Centrum Janki</i></b> ''''' (see direction Kraków, option 2 for details). Once you're there, notice that the road splits into two separate roads. The western one is the national road no. 8 (E67) which is located between IKEA and Real shops. Further down the road there is a wide shoulder where you can hitch. Last verified: July 2009.

* '''Option 1'''
Go to the Metro Station ''Plac Wilsona'' and take bus [http://www.kmlomianki.info/lomianki02/001pl%20wilsona%202.htm L]) towards <i>''Łomianki</i> '' . Get off at the stop called <b><i>'''''Woycickiego</i></b> ''''' (press the stop button as the bus doesn't always stop there; the list of bus stops is within the bus itself and all bus stops are visibly marked). This is a perfect place to hitch-hike northbound, there is a lot of space for cars to stop.
* '''Option 2'''
Go to the Metro station <i>''Plac Wilsona</i> '' and take bus 181 towards <i>''Cmentarz Północny</i>''. Get off at the stop called <b><i>'''''Dzierżoniowska</i></b> ''''' and from there you'll see the main road leading northwards. The road is fairly straight and has plenty of good spots to hitch-hike. An additional pro is a McD's located nearby with a toilet free of charge.
=== Northeast towards [[Białystok]], [[Kaunas]] ([[Lithuania]]) {{National Road Number Poland|8}} {{European Route Number|67}}===
Take tram 25 from central railway station or any tram from metro station <i>''Ratusz</i> '' going east. Get off at <b><i>'''''Dworzec Wileński</i></b>''''', walk right down the underground passage, walk out the other side and turn right onto the bus top. This is situated beside the big clock on the commercial building. Catch bus 718 and get off at '''''Struga'''''. Note that this bus goes outside of the city limits and an additional ticket is required. The first stop outside the central fare zone is a place loved by controllers, so beware. You can hitch from the traffic lights, there is a street light, which helps [[at night]].
Also, if all of the above is bad, walk for 30 minutes from the 718 bus stop (see above), in the direction of Białystok, and you will come to traffic lights that are better for hitch hiking and where more cars stop. Note that you will have to walk near the motorway for this one, so be carefull.
If you are heading to Lithuania, you might want to stop at one of the petrol stations located near the border. Last verified: August 2010.
=== Southeast towards [[Lublin]], [[Lviv]] ([[Ukraine]]) {{National Road Number Poland|17}} {{European Route Number|372}}===
From Central Railway Station ('''''Dworzec Główny''''') get on tram 9, 24 direction ''Gocławek'' and get off at '''''Wiatraczna''''' stop, from there, keep on walking the direction of the tram and you will get on a big bus station (200m). Get bus 704, 720, 722, 730 and get off at the '''''Szosa Lubelska'''''. Hitch right from the bus stop at ''Szosa Lubelska'' street.
=== East towards [[Siedlce]] and [[Brest (Belarus)|Brest]], [[Minsk]] ([[Belarus]]) {{National Road Number Poland|2}} {{European Route Number|30}} ===
Get to the <b><i>'''''Szosa Lubelska</i></b> ''''' station (see above). Try to hitch right from the bus stop at Szosa Brzeska.
