'''Update''' 2012-05-15/16:
At the latter station a lot of people don't head onto the motorway, a lot head home, so the original spot is the best, but hard to get to. It can be achieved by walking Via Capoliveri in Sette Bagni until it is closest to the motorway (house number 87 or so on Google). There is a fence (it is the private property of an apartment building), but you can easily climb it and then you arrive 100m later right next to the motorway.
Walk left up a ramp and there is a path (it is tremendously overgrown, however) and the bridge to your left. Once over the bridge, the petrol station is to your right, but you have to get through an overgrown field first.
Once there hitching should be good.

* Option 1: Take bus 92, 135 from Termini, get out at Salaria, which is right at the entrance of some kind of motorway, but people could also be heading to [[Rieti]] (''check this name''), which might turn out not too bad either. [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] and [[User:Amylin|amylin]] waited 20 minutes for a ride (which is a lot less than the average waiting time in Italy). Reminder: this is '''not''' a good neighborhood with plenty of prostitutes. Hitching after 22:00 is not recommended, nor is girls hitching alone here. 25 Sept 2009: Men picking women up here are likely to ask for sex. Even at the next gas station. Don't be too eager to get in the car here, choose wisely!
* Option 2: [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Rome,+Italie&sll=35.245619,-95.712891&sspn=33.905542,56.513672&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Rom,+Latium,+Italien&ll=42.005571,12.525272&spn=0.00759,0.013797&t=h&z=16 This] is a petrol station on the motorway A1 towards Firenze. To get there, take the metro to "Tiburtina", and from there a regional train to "Sette Bagni". It takes 20 minutes and leaves every 15 minutes on weekdays. Then you should have a look at Google maps to find the way to the bridge over the motorway which leads you to the petrol station, the road is called Via dell' Inviolatella Salaria. You shouldn't walk more than about 15 minutes. Until Firenze, there are around 5 more petrol stations to change cars, so it goes quite well. The last one is 5 km before Firenze. '''UpdateProblem''': On 3rd of April we tried If you don't find the way, or if the way is blocked (e.g. in March 2014, by a massive building site), it is really really hard to get to reach the described bridge but it was not at all possiblespot. All the paths There are swamps, loads of fences, private property , tremendously overgrown ramps and have relatively serious fencesmurderous blackberry bushes. Even asking one guy if he could let us in through Local people don't seem to know anything about the gate did not help! little footbridge, so you need to be quite determined. Alternative: [http://maps.google.com/maps?q=42.010805,12.51824&num=1&t=h&sll=42.00736,12.52286&sspn=0.016583,0.032015&ie=UTF8&ll=42.009525,12.521281&spn=0.009008,0.01929&z=16 This] is petrol station which should at least bring you on the highway A1. (But probably it's worth looking for a totally other petrol station on A1 which is reachable by public transport..; at the latter station a lot of people don't head onto the motorway, a lot head home)
