=== From/Into [[Ukraine]] ===* '''language controversySouth-East''': If you are traveling e.g. from [[Odessa|Odesa]] into [[Moldova]], best option is to take the Ukrainian M-15 motorway south-west and cross borders at the [[Palanca-Maiaky border crossing]]. From the border, you could already try to get rides directly to [[Chişinău]] or further. Walking over the border checkpoint is no problem, just keep in mind that you have to walk 3 km from the Ukrainian to the Moldovan side, so best is to hitch a ride just after the first checkpoint towards the next. Another option is the [[Pervomaisk-Kuchurhan border crossing]]. This is a route used by many locals. It's also possible to cross on foot.* '''North-West''': When traveling from '''Moldova''' towards [[Ivano-Frankivsk]] or [[Lviv]], you have two border crossings to choose. The best option could be to hitchhike via [[Edineț]], [[Briceni]] towards [[Lipcani]] to take the [[Criva-Mamalyha border crossing]] and go on via [[Chernivtsi|Chernovtsy]]. Walking over by foot is no problem there, but you might have to wait for a lift some time.
