→South towards Italy {{European Route Number|41}}, east towards Austria
Follow signs in the city for motorway 4 to [[Luzern]]. You will reach West st. Just past the intersection of West and Werd, there is a driveway in front of an apartment building where cars can pull over just before the right turn onto the onramp of motorway 4. To get to the onramp of the motorway from Bahnhof Wiedikon (a railway station nearby) take a look at [https://www.google.ch/maps/dir/Z%C3%BCrich+Wiedikon,+Z%C3%BCrich/Manessestrasse+20,+8003+Z%C3%BCrich/@47.3702897,8.522488,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x47900a1e9e5a5b63:0x35a0725eba643021!2m2!1d8.5235907!2d47.3714192!1m5!1m1!1s0x47900a1dbcf1e373:0xc912a02604833ebf!2m2!1d8.5250992!2d47.3692875!3e2 this map]. It is also possible to walk from the city center, it should take you about 15-20 min.
This spot is also an option if you are heading for the canton of Graubünden, Austria, Liechtenstein, and southern Germany, especially Munich (via Bregenz).
Since there is the bypass tunnel, you can also stay at the spot at Pfingstweidstrasse (look above) to go towards Luzern and Italy. There are not so many cars going in this direction, but it is a very kindly spot.
Update nov 2024:
This spot is outside a fire station and is illegal to stop there, I would not say this is a good spot. If you want to hitch this road there is another spot just down the road right before the road splits and where the big signs are.
In my experience this spot is not very good, a lot off traffic but nobody stopped for me, and many are probably not going far. I think a way better way of getting out of Zürich is to take the bus to Affoltern where you can go to the gas station and raststätte right by the highway.
