hitting the road
Leaving for somewhere
Hitting the road means departing or beginning a journey, typically by car.
The phrase suggests setting out with purpose, whether for a short trip or a longer adventure.
We should hit the road early to beat the traffic.
It can also mean resuming travel after a stop, or more broadly, leaving any situation to move on to the next thing.
