→West towards Berlin (Germany)
''To get in to highway territory you need to cross a highway fance!!!''
.5 km walk away is MOP Dopiewiec rest stop
* '''''MOP Dopiewiec'' Rest Servicesrest stop'''Start like above - from Ogrody catch the (infrequent, ticket inspected) bus 729 for about an hour to Dopiewiec. Walk back East along the road for 100m or so, then South along a road (turn right (along Szkolna?) for less than a km. You'll come to the A2 motorway - before the crossing and just over a meter high fence to the West (on your right) you'll find a rest station. There are only toilets and so little less traffic, but I got a ride by asking in under 10 minutes..
* '''Bus stop on ''Głogowska'' street'''
Get to '''''Górczyn''''' (last stop of trams 5, 8, 14 and many buses). From there walk over the rail tracks by bridge and go straight for about 800m. Behind the second traffic lights there's a bus stop where you can hitch. There's no point of going further as expressway starts just a few hundred meters behind the bus stop. This expressway is a main road linking city center with motorway A2 from the west. There are also two petrol p,etrol stations nearby where you can ask drivers. From the same spot you can hitch towards Wrocław so make a sign.
A lot of local people will go to Komorniki, the first suburb of Poznań in that direction, where there are a lot of shops like Auchan (supermarket) and a McD. Often you will hear the recommendation that from there you will easily find a lift to the A2, but actually this is not true. Most traffic is coming from the A2 and is going to the center of Poznan.
If you happen to be stranded on that McDonalds, you can also walk towards Głogowska road, just under the bridge, there's a lane in direction of Świecko, that some locals take. You can either take this and go to Berlin directly or hitchhike until the toll plaza, which will be a much easier option.
If you plan to go to Germany, it is also a good possibility to catch a ride to Warszawa, get out at the toll box and change the side. Once on the motorway it will be very very easy to catch a ride to Germany because there is no big city inbetween Poznan and the border and if a car here stops for you, you can be quite sure it crosses the border.

Go to ''Ogrody'' (last stop of trams 2, 7, 17, 18 and many buses) and take bus no. 61 direction ''Krzyżowniki''. Get out at the ninth stop called '''''Ul. Wichrowa''''' and walk along the road for about 300 m then you will see petrol station and McD's. Ask drivers there or stay on the road with sign or thumb. Also about 100 m after this place is a bus stop so it's more convenient for drivers to stop their car.
