Take Tram 10 towards "Barleber See" and get out at the last station "Barleber See". Walk right, cross the August-Bebel-Damm and walk further straight into Glindenberger Weg. You will already see Mc Donald's and Aral petrol station signs. It is a two minutes walk. At the petrol station is not so much traffic, but many people going further to Berlin stop at McD's. Place yourself in front of the entrance. This place just opened 2012 and is now the best place for almost no waiting times, but it takes a bit longer to get there by tram.
==== Option 2: The gas petrol station at B71 ====
Take Tram 9 in Magdeburg towards ''Neustädter See'' and get out at ''Krähenstieg''. Walk left, crossing the tracks and the street. Turn right after the tower-like building and walk down the street there. After some meters you will recognize the petrol station behind some trees on the left side. It is directly located along the ''B71'' which intersects with the A2 at ''Magdeburg-Centrum''.
=== South-East towards [[Dessau]] ===
Take tram #5 or #6 to ''Jerichower Platz'' and look for the bus stop next to the gas petrol station. Take bus #51 to the stop ''Biederitzer Str. / Heyrothsberge''. Walk back to the main road, then turn left and hitch from the street turning right at the next traffic light along ''Königsberger Str.''.
You could also ask at the gas petrol station next to the bus stop if you don't want to wait for the bus or walk along ''Jerichower Straße''/''Berliner Chausse'' for about 1.5km until you reach a traffic light shortly after which is a good spot to pull over.
=== West towards [[Hannover]], [[Hamburg]] ===
==== Option 1: AGIP gas petrol station at the B1 ====Take tram #3, #4 or #5 to ''Albert-Vater-Str.''. You will see an AGIP gas petrol station on your right. It is good for westbound traffic on the A2. You can hitch at the gas petrol station or by the road (eg. at the bus station). Cars which are not going onto the highway could drop you in Irxleben, from there it is really close to the Rasthof at the exit #67 Irxleben which is a good place to hitch as well.
==== Option 2: The gas petrol station at the B71 ====
Same as for Berlin. Local cars going to or further than the exit #67 Irxleben can take you to the the Rasthof at the exit or to the service station Börde respectively. It is usually easier to get a lift towards the West than to Berlin.
If you find a driver who is passing Magdeburg on the A2 but not willing to bring you into the city, you can ask hir<!--this is a gender neutral pronoun--> to drop you off at the exit ''Magdeburg Rothensee'' because the tram stop ''Barleber See'' is directly next to it.
The last trains (Tram 10 at daytime, Tram 94 at night) run at 23:15 and the first after 5:00. However, if you miss the last one, you can also walk 3 km to the stop ''Hohenwarther Straße'' – just follow the big road. There, Tram 94 can pick you up nearly every hour at night. Otherwise, the industrial area is quiet at night and you can try to sleep in the grass or bushes. One tramp stop further is an Aral gas petrol station and a traffic light at the crossroads. During the night, you can easily fetch cars coming from the highway by pressing the traffic light button for pedestrians - for cars, the traffic light almost immediately turns red. Just wait until you see the headlights of an arriving car and press the button to guarantee it has to stop, then ask.
==== Intersection ''Magdeburg-Zentrum'' (#70 on A2) ====
If your driver does not mind making a small detour (about 2km in total) he can turn at the intersection ''Magdeburg-Zentrum'' onto the B71 towards Magdeburg. After about 800m there is another exit, take that one, your driver should turn left at the traffic light. At the next traffic light your driver turns left to get back to the highway and you get off and turn right and walk about 1km to the tram stop ''Krähenstieg''. From here trams run more frequently and you are faster in the city centercentre, especially at night.
