Ray Charles!

MEANING: To leave (especially to go home); to depart on a journey.

EXPLANATION: What is really hitting (landing) on the road is our feet or the tyres of a car.

It is a way to emphasize you are leaving a place or travelling somewhere. Because we say hit the "road" it is often used to describe travel by car (especially a trip that takes a few hours).

EXAMPLE: "What time are we hitting the road tomorrow?"

FUN FACT: In the Ray Charles single "Hit the road Jack" Margie Hendricks is telling her man to leave!
