To hitchhike into eastern direction, a good place is ''Strykowska'' road. Take tram 6 from the centre. Direction "Strykowska". Get off at the last one. Keep walking the same way as the tram, pass a bridge over railroad, pass a little gas station, and 200m after, on the other side of the road, there's a bus stop with good visibility and parking. And a little bakery if you're hungry :) .

Another option is to take bus 92 to the stop 'Kolumny - Czajewskiego' and from there it's a five minutes walk to a highway service center (you can't miss seeing it on your right while passing the bridge just before the bus stop). It's a huge stop with lot's of cars and trucks, so most likely it will be easy to catch a ride (I got one in 3 minutes). Be aware though that the centre is fenced and you'll have to go through a gate. On my arrival in Łódź it was unlocked, but on my hike out of Łódź it was closed and I had to hop it.
