The S8 starts here and eventually changes into the A2 to [[Poznań]]. [http://goo.gl/maps/kizfT Streetview here].(I used this spot in July 2018 and absolutely the best spot it is for Poznan. just waited 3 min and even the driver told me how convenient spot it was.)

B. Especially during rush hour, there is a faster way to get to the on-ramp at the A2: Take the ''KM3'' train in direction of [[Łowicz]] or [[Sochaczew]] (sometimes only going to [[Błonie]]) and get of at the station ''Gołąbki''. From the pedestrian crossing over the tracks you can already spot the highway's noise barrier to the north-west.

Take the bus from metro station Wilanowska to the stop '''Żołny''' (lines 319, 709, 715, 727, 739). Then go back a bit to the direction you arrived under the overpass and turn left. There is a place where a lot of the southern inhabitants of Warsaw go to A2. There is an unused bus stop on the highway entrance. There is enough space to stop a truck. The drivers will come around the bend, but if you stay at the end of the bus stop they will go slow enough and they will have much time to see you and stop. It is a great place to catch direct car to Łódź, to Poznań or even Gdańsk you can change on the service station (MOP) Nowosady (there are Burger King and Shell gas station), if the driver comes to Łódź and you want to go west or north it is important to left before A1 and A2 junction.
If you wish to take the old main road DK92 (not advisable if you want to travel fast...) you can use a place which takes a bit more time to reach:
=== South towards [[Radom]], [[Kielce]], [[Kraków]] {{National Road Number Poland|7}} {{E|77}} ===
Get tram 7, 9, 35 from the city centre e.g ''Aleje Jerozolimskie'', ''Warszawa Centralna'' (Main Train Station), ''Centrum'' (Warsaw Metro station) going in the direction of '''''P+R Aleja Krakowska''''' and get off at the last stop. Then, take bus 707, 728, 807 ('''not''' 715) to ''Janki'', or bus N88, 706 or 807 to ''Plac Szwedzki'' (a stop near ''Janki'' and in front of an IKEA store) and walk back to the stop ''Janki''.
From the stop ''Janki'', note that the road splits. The Aleja Krakowska road going east (left) is national road 7 (will cointinue on E77) where you can hitch towards Kielce, Radom and Krakówhighway. Place next to Aleja Krakowska street 5 has nice place to hitchike. Using a large sign can be very effective. As for 2020, there's new piece of S8 expressway, which goes around Janki. You can go to '''''P+R Aleja Krakowska''''' as mentioned before. From there take bus 721 in direction of ''Kosów'' or 728 towards ''Złotokłos''. You can go out on stop ''Sękocin Las'' (Second one, after the crossing & joining with main road. There are two stops with same name, if you get out on first, right one is ~100m further).

=== Southwest towards [[Wrocław]] {{National Road Number Poland|8}} {{E|67}}, [[Łódź]] {{National Road Number Poland|72}}, [[Katowice]] {{National Road Number Poland|1}} {{E|75}} ===
'''Note:Option 1''' ''As of November 2015, the S8 express road towards Piotrków Trybunalski is under reconstruction. Drivers going to Łódź, will most probably prefer the A2 highway to Poznań (see above). The old hitch-hiking spot at Janki doesn't exist anymore as the road has been closed. If you're going towards Wrocław or Katowice, follow the directions below, just be aware that the conditions will be changing with the progress of road construction.''

Then, take bus 703707, 728, 807 to ''Janki'', 733 or 711. Look for a good hitching spot from the bus stop called "Paszków". The bus will use a service road pararell to the highway. As for November 2015N88, the traffic is redirected onto the service road just after "Paszków" bus stop due 706 or 807 to construction works, making it ''Plac Szwedzki'' (a perfect spot.If you donstop near ''Janki''t find any good spot before the town and in front of Nadarzyn, get off at "Poniatowskiego" (703) or "Warszawska" (711an IKEA store) and walk ~500m back to the main highway. The spot shouldnstop 't be too bad. If you're on 733 youJanki're luckier - it continues past Nadarzyn, get off at "Rusiec" or "Urzut". The whole journey takes about 1h from the city centre. There should be a gas station about 25kms past Nadarzyn, so if you're driver is not going in the desired direction, you can get of there and find someone to take you where you're going.

From the stop ''Janki'', note that the road splits. The Mszczonowska road going right will cointinue on S8 highway. Place next to Mszczonowska street 9 has nice place to hitchike. Using a large sign can be very effective.
