=== All directions Directions / North towards [[Berlin]]: [[A9_(Germany)|A9]] North ===
A good place to find a lift towards [[Berlin]] (A9) and [[Leipzig]]/[[Dresden]] (A14) is the Aral gas station near ''Wasserturm''. You get there by taking tram #1 in direction of ''Frohe Zukunft'' and getting out at the stop ''Äußere Hordorfer Straße''. The gas station is on your left after the traffic light. You can also take an S-Bahn from the central station and get out at ''S-Bhf Dessauer Brücke'', then you need go up the stairs, cross the street and walk right a few meters.
Drivers can go via the exits ''Trotha'', ''Tornau'' or the Bundestraße B100.
[[User:N0id|n0id]] once got a direct lift after 10 minutes to Magdeburg at the spot in Frohe Zukunft, but a second time proved to be as bad as the Aral station near Wasserturm where it took usually one hour or more. Although he tried it only once, the first option might be the best.
=== East to [[Leipzig]] ===
The gas station at ''Wasserturm'' is a good spot for catching rides to Leipzig (see above under ''[[Halle (Saale)#All_Directions_.2F_North_towards_Berlin:_A9_North|All Directions'']]).
Another option starting further south in the city is the ''B6'' National Road: From the main station, walk along ''Raffinieriestraße'', which turns into ''Leipziger Chaussee''. You will very quickly reach the outskirts of the city, where you can start hitching from numerous spots.
=== South towards [[Nürnberg]], [[München]]: ([[A9_(Germany)|A9]] South) ===
The service station (Autohof) at [[A9_(Germany)|A9]]-exit No. 16 (''Großkugel'') is a good spot for catching long rides going south. You can get there in two ways.
You will reach the service area by hitching along the ''B6'' towards Leipzig for approximately 18km (see abover under [[Halle (Saale)#East_to_Leipzig|East to Leipzig]]).
