Get off at ''Pratteln'' and follow the ''Zehntenstrasse'' (parallel to the railway tracks) in the direction of the train you took, for quite a short time. Go left at the little steps, which lead to a rooad underneath the tracks, then straight. Turn right at the small ''BP'' service station, then continues on the road ''Hohenrainstrasse''. Follow this road for 5 minutes, keep on the left footpath, and you will then see a small commercial area. Turn left onto this street ,Zurlindstrasse, walk down until you reach a green area. Male your way down this until you reach the exit. You will be at the motorway service station '''Pratteln-Süd'''. It is open 24 hours a day.
'''NOTICE:''' It might be useful to use a sign here or to ask people where they're going.. A few kilometres down the road there's a big crossing. You can choose between the direction [[Zürich]] and [[St. Gallen]] '''or''' [[Bern]] and [[Luzern]].
Alternatively, you can walk straight down through St. Louis, or take the bus, down to the other end of town. Eventually, you will be at a small petrol station. Not exactly the best place, but there is a round-about that leads straight to the A35. There is only a small parking space for vehicles to stop, so not so ideal for trucks, however when I was hitchhiking there, there was heavy traffic coming from all directions and vehicles had to slow down as they turned. I only stood there for about 20-30mins. I found the atmosphere a lot nicer than around the border patrol. (On googlemaps: 47.59372,7.555225)
