Expressions - Hit the road

Brian L

May 30, 2025

Do you always say “I’m leaving now”? Want to sound more natural?

Try this phrase: "hit the road"
It means to leave or start a journey, especially by car or on foot.
Example: “It’s getting late—we should hit the road.”

This expression is casual, fun, and used often by native speakers.

When was the last time you had to hit the road?
Try this: “We hit the road at 6 a.m. to avoid traffic.”
