hits the road
Leaves for somewhere
Hits the road means to depart or begin a journey.
The expression suggests getting onto the road that leads somewhere: We should hit the road early if we want to beat traffic.
It can also mean to leave a place more generally: It's getting late—I'd better hit the road.
