- [[User:Duffajfka|Duffajfka]] found this out in August 2019. Walked some 2 km to the next petrol station AGP which is by far not as large, but an alternative for both drivers and hitchhikers. After 20 mins of asking got a straight ride to Brno.
update to direction southeast
The sign showing the start of the expressway (and also 50km/h speed limit) is located 1.3km from the original location, on 5.května just before it passes over Vyskočilova, so legally it should be possible to hitch before it. At this spot there is a wide shoulder, lights, 50km/h speed limit. Take metro line C (red) to Budějovická. From exit on Budějovická street, turn left some metres and then turn right (northeast) on Vyskočilova. Walk northeast ≈350m until the exit slip road on the left just before the 5.května overpass. Cut across the grass embankment and walk up to 5.května itself and you will see the expressway sign. This spot looks good, but '''it needs to be tested.'''
- [[User:Duffajfka|Duffajfka]] <i>tested this spot twice in December 2019. It looks theoretically good, the traffic is dense and slow. Some drivers even do minor stops here for carpooling or whatever reasons. However, hitchhiking to Brno didn't work out and after more than an hour I switched for Option 4 both times. For longer rides, it might work better in the morning when not so many locals drive home from work. </i>
==== Option 4: Motorway service station Újezd u Průhonic (BEST WAY TO VIENNA) ====

- [[User:Chillion|Chillion]] <i>"March 2018. This is one magnificent spot. Hitched a ride at on Thursday 12:30pm standing by the gas station sign; waiting time 30mins. Traffic was awful, so got dropped off on a slip road just outside Brno where I hitched a ride into the city. Then followed the Brno hitchhiking page, option 2 (6pm, 30min wait with sign) into Vienna."</i>
