=== North towards [[Dahlonega]] (GA-400) ===
Take MARTA north-south rail line to North Springs station, N11, and from there take a bus (free transfer from the train) further north to Alpharetta or Roswell where there is dense traffic but you are well out of the city and into the suburbs and it's a lot safer. Alternatively, you can leave the station at North Springs and try to get rides with people as they leave the parking garage. Most, if not all, people will be headed north.
=== North-east towards [[Greenville,SC]] (I-85) ===
Take MARTA north-east rail to Doraville Station.
[Legendary Rob http://www.legendaryrob.com] suggests the Pleasantdale Rd on-ramp (Transfer to bus 124 from Doraville Station). I found this spot unsuitable as it had no wide shoulder on the onramp. It was only possible to solicit ride from cars arriving from one direction as they slowed for the right-hand turn. As this exit is so close to the city centre, most drivers are local workers and shoppers.
There are excellent wide shoulders at Pleasant Hill Rd (Exit 104 - Bus 10 from Doraville Station) and Discover Mills (Exit 107). Seek a ride to at least [[Commerce]], GA.
