:''Also beware of ending up at the raststation at Gralla, in summer it is mainly families with their cars full, you might get stuck there for hours. ''
:September 2017; [[User:raczek|raczek]]: We've tried [[User:Martinsltopf|Martinsltopf]]'s emergency lane spot and it worked perfectly. We've waited less than 15 minutes with "[[Maribor]]" sign and catched a ride to an Austro-Slovenian border. Note, however, that we had a perfect combo: M+F, mid 20s, 3:30 PM on weekday (afternoon rush hours). I'd also suggest an alternative path to get to an emergency lane, bypassing multi-lane, busy traffic circle. Take a train to Graz Webling ([https://wegfinder.at/ wegfinder] Android app worked great to find a connection), follow railroad south and turn left (east) onto Schwarzer Weg. Follow Schwarzer Weg for another ~500m until you get to a multiple overpasses. You need to '''jump over the left (north) fence''' between the first and second overpass and climb onto a hill. It may be a bit of a challenge but it's doable (note: the closer to the concrete overpass the more stable the fence is). There you are!

2) A small roundabout behind the Murpark shopping centre (and the P+R). Just stand at the corner with the car dealership. There will be a gas station behind you with plenty of room to stop. All the cars going onto the ramp must pass you and can see you clearly since they have to slow down at the roundabout (there's a tree for shade too!). We used a sign reading "Italy" and got a ride to [[Villach]] in 30 minutes (with a first car stopping after about 15 minutes and offering to take us to the first gas station on the Autobahn).
