West to Veszprém (E66/N8)
Walk to the north side of town, following Palotai ut or Szent Florian Körüt. At the end of the town, there is a roundabout where the only main road towards the north shore of Balaton starts. Use a sign, saying Veszprem. Once you're in the rural areas you can hitch with a thumb everywhere, people there are very likely to pick you up.
Northeast to Budapest Zagreb (E71/M7)
There is a bypass road east of the town, where the route 8 ends. There is a sign to the motorway (southwards): don't take that way, the cars all head to Balaton. To get to Budapest get through the city centre (maybe take a local bus), or take the northern bypass.
Find the "Seregelyesi ut" or later: route 62 to Borgond (Börgönd), there is a petrol station on the motorway, where 62 crosses it. The motorway has much bigger traffic, I don't recommend the old road "7es ut, Route 7" with its mostly local traffic via the urbanized Velencei to/lake.
