#'''''By A4 motorway to:'' [[Opole]] <B>'''OP</B>''', [[Wrocław]] <B>'''DW</B>''', [[Legnica]] <B>'''DL</B>''', [[Berlin]], [[Görlitz]]'''
From the city center You may easily get to the A4 motorway entrance No. 307 (Junction "BOJKÓW"). It's a junction with a national road number 78 / NR. No. 78/
by the following buses:
New service stations are being built on both sides of the A4 motorway 300 m away from the exit (they will be legally reachable on foot by a bicycle path)
From my observation (a working day) 75 % of the traffic is direction East (ie. [[Katowice]]<B>'''SK</B>''', [[Kraków]] <B>'''KR</B>'''). Therefore if you head for [[Wrocław]] its better to walk along the entrance road down to the motorway to catch the transit traffic (Average awaiting time 22.6 minutes (working day, day light).
#'''''By National road No. 408 to'': [[Kędzierzyn Koźle]] <B>'''OK</B>''', [[Prudnik]], [[Głuchołazy]] -> Border with Czech Republic direction to [[Jesseniki]]'''''
To get to a nice place to hitch this direction you need to:
*take a bus [http://www.kzkgop.com.pl/rozklady/frame.php?kat=624_20041211&nr=1&kier=1 624]
It departs from center of the town and takes U you beyond the city limits.
You need to get off at the one before last stop. (before the bus turns left from the main road)
This is also a point @ wich U which you may get onto the A4 motorway (junction "OSTROPA").
The road to Kędzierzyń Koźle goes straight on and the traffic contains mostly of the cars heading this direction.
The road that goes straight is the one to Kędzierzyn Koźle.
Although there is no roadside (shoulder) the road is wide enough to let the driver stop without causing the traffic stoppage.
The traffic here is almost the one to Kędzierzyn Koźle <B>'''OK</B> ''' but stil still contains some cars from a near by villages <B>'''SG, SGL</B>'''.

'''''By A4 motorway to''''':
*Direction [[Katowice]] <B>'''SK</B>''', [[Kraków]] <B>'''KR</B>''', [[Tarnów]] <B>'''KT</B>''', [[Rzeszów]] <B>'''SK</B>''', [[Przemyśl]] <B>'''RP</B>''', -> [[Lviv]]
All the same as with getting to West direction, as it is the same entrance.
'''''By National Road No.44 to:'''''
*[[Mikołów]] <B>'''SMI</B>''', [[Tychy]] <B>'''ST</B>''',
There are 2 options:
There are three options to hitch this direction.
For the tips how to get to the proper place look for the tips from the [http://www.hitchwiki.org/Gliwice#West] Mororway Motorway A4 Section.
* When you get off at the described bus stop you just need to cross the bridge over the motorway A4 and start hitching there.
* You may also get off one stop earlier and ask drivers at the by-the-road tankstation petrol station after Billa supermarket. There are sometimes poeple people waving their hands by the road - still an option if you don't speak polish enough to ask drivers. Mean await time to Rybnik is 17,2 min (Working day in a day light)* Expert option (for those who speak polish): Ask drivers stopped at the trafic traffic light near a Cathedral 5 min walk from town hall as all the transit traffic is stopped there (permanent trafic traffic jams during rush hours)
