* Next to the road close to the S-Bahn station is a big breakdown lane, where cars can stop easily.
* If you go to Prague, make sure that drivers who stop in Dresden bring you to the Raststätte "Dresdner Tor Süd". "Dresdner Tor Nord" is also possible, but then you have to walk approx. 1.5 kilometers through a field to go to the other side.
* This is the best place to hitch towards Dresden/Prague than Schöneweide in my opinion ( I second the opinion ) ! In Schöneweide I waited one hour and more, in Altglienicke max. 15 minutes! Some drivers also told me they say hitchhikers in Schöneweide but didn't take them because it was difficult for them to stop there. In Altglienicke it's easy.
* I'd suggest to go some hundred meters down the road. A normal lane changes into a parking lane, where cars can easily stop. Actually I saw cars from anywhere in Germany (Dresden, Hannover, Hamburg, Munich, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Offenburg, Leipzig) [[User:Redjo27|Redjo27]]
* ^ Do not follow the instructions above. Very confusing and do not work.
* I didn't find this ''parking lane'' some hundred meters down the road, but there was the offramp that goes to Dresden maybe 100 m or less. This is really unsafe. I instead went 100 m or so back towards Berlin (from the above mentioned red light) where you will find a long stretch of safe lane space for cars to stop. This is prime real estate for hitchhiking as cars are going slow enough and there is plenty of run way in and out. I have taken this twice now, and waited only 10 min one time, and about 45min the next. [[User:Filbert|Filbert]] ( This did not work at all despite all the shoulder space. Cars have no incentive or natural reason to spot and they are already speeding because they are anticipating the Red light ahead.
* ^ [[User:Itsagerston|itsagerston]] adds that, while upon arrival this seems like a great spot, it may be a waste of time. We thumbed for a couple hours with no luck whatsoever on a Sunday morning in October 2017.
*** UPDATE 22/10/2017
We were two people trying to get a ride from Altglienicke to Dresden. There were many hitchhikers there and the traffic light is only red for 15 seconds, it's vert fast. If you are alone maybe you can try this spot but it's not easy. We waited more than 90 minutes and finally the highway police came and told us that it's forbidden to hitch here and we could have a 100€ fee. They said us to go to Schöneweide petrol station (option 3) and there we get a ride to Dresden in 20 minutes. So I strongly advice not to go to Altglienicke...
→Option 1: B96a Altglienicke
Update : It may seem like there is no shoulder for cars to pull up but there is which most drivers know (remark: I waited more than an hour there without getting a lift, the entrance if the highway has 2 lanes and much more space to stop. There I got a ride in less than 30min) . We could not see it and got confused and took a ride in the direction of airport, wasted like 3 hours and came back to this point crossed the road and got the first ride within 5 minutes.

The construction continues. There is some space right before the entrance to the highway where drivers can pull over. However, because the road is reduced to one lane, the cars are all moving very close together, and so the come very quick one after the other, and it appears that it is difficult for people to pull into the space for cars to pull into created by the lane closed for construction. That said, [[User:Movethathoof|Movethathoof]], here writing this, had a ride after around 30 minutes to a rest area - gas station just before the split Dresden-Cottbus.
