=== West towards [[Berlin]] ([[Germany]]) ===
<font size="+1">{{Motorway Number Poland|2}} {{European Route NumberE|30}}</font>
* '''From bus stop on ''Głogowska'' street'''
Get to '''''Górczyn''''' (last stop of trams 5, 8, 14 and many buses). From there walk over the rail tracks by bridge and go straight for about 800m. Behind the second traffic lights there's a bus stop where you can hitch. There's no point of going further as expressway starts just a few hundred metres behind the bus stop. This expressway is a main road linking city centre with motorway A2 from the west. There are also two petrol stations nearby where you can ask drivers. From the same spot you can hitch towards Wrocław so make a sign.
=== East towards [[Łódź]], [[Warszawa]] ===

* '''From behind roundabout ''Rataje'''''
Get to '''''Rondo Rataje''''' (roundabout). There are plenty of trams and buses going there. You can hitch just behind it, on a dual carriegeway (the one without tram tracks). There's no emergency lane or bus stop, but drivers generally stop there, and you may even expect some competition there, as it's popular spot for students hitching back from school. From the same spot you can hitch southeast towards [[Katowice]], so make a sign.
From city center go to tram stop ''Rondo Śródka'' (trams 4, 17 direction ''Starołęka'', 6, 8 direction ''Miłostowo'') and then take bus no S-1 from bus station behind Lotos petrol station, direction '''''Swarzędz'''''). After about 20 minutes bus will turn left (near Lidl shop) then go out, turn back to the main road and hitch some meters after junction with traffic lights. About 300 m further from this place there's Shell petrol station and huge parking for truckers. If you are not lucky there try also the traffic lights across the petrol station.
=== Northeast towards [[Bydgoszcz]], [[Toruń]], [[Gdańsk]] {{National Road Number Poland|5}} {{European Route NumberE|261}}===
Take bus no. 73 direction ''Janikowo/Ogrodnicza'' from place called ''Rondo Sródka'' and get out after 11 stops (about 15-18 minutes) at bus stop called '''''Bogucin Bałtycka'''''. Hitch on this bus stop, it's on the road to Gniezno, Bydgoszcz and Gdańsk just after junction with Poznań bypass. You should notice railways nearby and crossed Poznań sign (end of the city zone). Notice that if your driver goes to [[Gnizeno]], make sure you exit before the city, since the road becomes a motorway inside the city and there is no good spot to be found.
See direction Berlin by national road 92 as it's the same spot.

* '''From bus stop on ''Głogowska'' street'''
