===East, towards [[Brno]], [[Bratislava]], [[Budapest]], [[Vienna]], [[Kraków]]===
From metro Opatov (line C, red) follow noise to the highway. Walk along the road about 5 min, keep going over the crossroad and the bridge over the highway (see second map). Now you might see other hitchhikers on the sliproad. Be careful and stay on the slip road, not on the highway (sometimes police passes by). Average waiting time is less than 1 hour. From the bridge you can see the gas station '''Újezd u Průhonic''' --it's about 1.5 km by highway, but it isn't a good place.

=====Second opinion=====
Use the gas station, it is a good place, easier to reach and you'll get rides quickly. From metro Opatov (line C, red) climb the steps to the highway. Look on the bus stop timetables for the stop "K Sukovu" on route 324, 363 or 385 (you are going south, the buses should leave every 15 minutes, and you can use the same ticket that you got on the metro). Get to K Sukovu - you'll know you're there when you see the gas station to your right. From K Sukovu the gas station is a 150m walk over the motorway bridge.

While his teammates fell asleep on the grass for 3 hours (!), he was able to chat with other hitchhikers and drivers, and get ride offers to towards [[Brno]], [[Bratislava]], [[Budapest]], [[Vienna]] and even to [[Kraków]]. Average The average waiting time was 20-30 minutes, plus there were several truck drivers promising longer lifts after a few hours' rest.
