=== East to [[Porvoo]], [[Kotka]], [[Russia]]n border, [[St. Petersburg|Saint Petersburg]] {{E|18}} ===
[[File:Helsinkieast-map.png|thumb|right|250px|How to reach the eastbound junction on foot]]The fastest way to go east is to walk to the junction of Ring Road III and the motorway from the metro station ''Mellunmäki''. This is about a 40 minute journey on foot(see image). [[File:Helsinkieast-map.png|thumb|right|250px|How to reach the eastbound junction on foot]] Once at the junction, it is easy to get a ride as short as the suburbs or as far as Saint Petersburg. With so many options, it is wise to turn down any ride not going all the way to your destination. [[File:Helsinkieast-signs.jpg|thumb|rightleft|250px|Signs marking the Helsinki eastbound junction]]
If you go further than to Porvoo, there is a rest stop halfway between Helsinki and Porvoo, so ask to drop you there. All there is is toilets and a café, so it's most efficient in the morning time. From there, find a ride at least to Kotka.
