What hitchhikers said along this route

“Sign "A62 => BDX", 2 cars stopped to offer a drive to the toll only, and the 3rd was 2 girls who drive us (1 guy/1 girl) right to Bordeaux ! (a friday, 7pm)”

“The way back to the ring road, lot of local people who offer you to back inside Toulouse, but wait a bit with a sign and you will find a lift right to Bordeaux! Lot of people work around and sometimes they live far (Montauban), it's not a dead spot at all. Space for the car to stop on the emergency lane but cars drive a bit fast sometimes. Not the best spot, but still good in my opinion.”
