== Hitching Out ==
=== West towards [[Poznań]], [[Berlin]] ([[Germany]]) {{Motorway Number Poland|2}} {{European Route NumberE|30}} ===
* '''From motorway junction'''
* Another spot is (esp. when coming from Warszawa) north of Lodz near ''Strykow'' where the motorway currently begins. Just hitchhike at the exit of the roundabout for the motorway in all directions. {{Roadworks}} Currently (January 2010) there are some roadworks just next to the hard shoulder of the on-ramp, so there's actually nearly no space for cars to stop. Best bet is to get up on the bridge a little bit and try it there.
=== South towards [[Piotrków Trybunalski]], [[Katowice]], [[Kraków]] {{National Road Number Poland|1}} {{European Route NumberE|75}} ===
From train station ''Łódź Fabryczna'' take bus 70 direction ''Centrum Handlowe PTAK'' and get off in '''''Szpital C.Z.M.P.''''' (Hospital). It takes about 40 minutes to get there. You can hitch behind the crossroad on the merge lane.
I never waited there longer than 7 lights' changes to get a lift to the very first lights of [[Częstochowa]] which is a next perfect spot for finding a car direction [[Kraków]], [[Bielsko Biała]] or any city of the Upper Silesian urban aglomeration).
=== North towards [[Toruń]], [[Gdańsk]] {{National Road Number Poland|1}} {{European Route NumberE|75}} ===
From city centre take trams 4, 11 46A direction ''Helenówek'' or 46 direction ''Ozorków'' and get off in '''''Sikorskiego'''''. You will see Castorama shop on your right. You can hitch behind the roundabout called ''Rondo Biłyka'' on the merge lane with a bus stop.
