The idiom hit the road means to leave or start a journey. It is a fairly recent idiom, where "hit" in modern slang means "to start" or "to do" not physically hitting them with violence. It is often used to say you are going to leave an event and go home - or to leave home and go to an event!
It's getting late - we should hit the road.
