Trempiada is Hebrew (טרמפיאדה, derived from the German trampen) for a designated place at a junction of highways or main roads from which hitchhikers, called trempists, may solicit rides. There are often many people waiting at trempiadas, and passing motorists often stop to pick them up. There is an unofficial etiquette governing trempiada use which determines priority for rides among other things as well as a shorthand sign language for communication between hitchhikers and drivers.
