Take the tram 8, 10, 26 direction * ''Os. Górczewska'' and get off at ''Ciepłownia Wola''. There you can get in Option #1: On-ramp Warszawa-Zachód on the bus 713 and get off at '''''Mory'S8'''' (The first stop on public transport zone 2 (''strefa II'')). Walk back around 200m in the direction your bus came from, until the on-ramp of the new A2. Most traffic from the city centre will enter the A2 through this on-ramp. There are traffic lights, so cars have to go rather slow and there is a small shoulder to stop.

* '''Option #2This option involves the least walking and is quite close to the city centre and the western districts. To get there you have two different possibilities:'''

'''#1:'''Take the tram 8, 10, 26 direction ''Os. Górczewska'' and get off at ''Ciepłownia Wola''. There you can get in the bus 713 and get off at '''''Mory''''' (The first stop on public transport zone 2 (''strefa II'')). Walk back around 200m in the direction your bus came from, until the on-ramp of the new A2. Most traffic from the city centre will enter the A2 through this on-ramp. There are traffic lights, so cars have to go rather slow and there is a small shoulder to stop.  '''#2:''' Especially during rush hour, there is a faster way to get to the on-ramp at the A2: Take the ''KM3'' (short for ''Kolej Mazowieckie'') train in direction of [[Łowicz]] or [[Sochaczew]] (sometimes only going to [[Błonie]]) and get of at the station ''Gołąbki''. From the pedestrian crossing over the tracks you can already spot the highway's noise barrier to the north-west. Follow the road on the northern side of the train station to the north, turn right at the next crossing and the road should lead you through an under-bridge under the highway after a couple of minutes. After, you cross the road and arrive at the on-ramp described in under ''Option #1''. The whole walk is around 1,5km.

* '''Option #2: On-Ramp Warszawa-Powązkowska'''  This option is best when you have to get from the northern districts of the city to a good spot. There's no walking involved, you'll be able to get out of the bus and start hitching right away! Take bus 103, 122, 180, 186 or 409 and get off at '''Gen. Maczka''' (Note: bus stops only on request here!). Hitch right from the bus stop where bus 186 in direction ''Szczęśliwice'' stops. Holding a sign with A2 might help to avoid inner city traffic. The S8 starts here and eventually changes into the A2 to [[Poznań]]. [http://goo.gl/maps/kizfT Streetview here]. * '''Option #3:The (unfinished) toll plaza Pruszków on A2''' If you're close to the main railway line in the city and don't mind a bit of walking if that gives you a 100% perfect spot, then you should choose this option. From the '''Central Station''' or one of the other stations on the main line (Wschodnia, Śródmieście, Zachodnia, Ochota, etc.), take train ''KM1'' towards '''Skierniewice''' or '''Żyrardów''' (both are good). Occasionally also ''KM7'' goes there. Get off at station '''Brwinów''' after around 30min.

This option is best when Now you have to get from walk for around 3km to reach the toll plaza. From the station, walk in northern districts of direction to the city square. Make sure to a good spot.

* '''Option #4:The old road'''

If you wish to take the old main road S92 DK92 (not advisable if you want to travel fast...) you can use a place which takes a bit more time to reach:

Like in ''Option #1.2'' take the ''KM3'' (short for ''Kolej Mazowieckie'') train in direction of [[Łowicz]] or [[Sochaczew]], but get out one station further at ''Ożarów Mazowiecki''.

When you get out at the station in ''Ożarów Mazowiecki'' (make sure you keep an eye out for the correct station, Ożarów Mazowiecki only has one sign at the end of the station) just leave the station to the right (facing away from Warsaw) and follow Marii Konopnickiej Street until you reach a bigger street, Poznańska (about 500m). Another few hundred meters to the East you will find a bus stop with plenty of space to stop (it's across the street from the church). It's just one lane, cars are going quite slow and you avoid a great deal of local traffic out of Warsaw. Even though this is the old main road to the West and some drivers, (especially trucks, ) take it to avoid the highway fees , it will probably take longer then than using the highway.
