Hitchhiking out
Direction Berlin
Take bus 28 or 67 to am Fort Biehler. There is a petrol station on the national road, not to far from the motorway.
Direction Frankfurt ![Bundesautobahn 66 number.svg](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2d/Bundesautobahn_66_number.svg/45px-Bundesautobahn_66_number.svg.png)
Take the bus 6a to the stop called Freizeitbad in Wiesbaden. From there, walk back towards the overpass, going under it and following the "motorway" (It's more just a big road) staying to the right. You will see a sign showing the entrance ramp towards Frankfurt as being at the 2nd light. Walk another 15 or 20 minutes and there you are. There is a good place for cars to pull over. I got a ride to Frankfurt from the first car that passed!(August 7th 2009)
Direction Bingen, Koblenz, Bad Kreuznach, Hahn Airport

The bus station Friedrich-von-Pfeiffer-Weg (right at the university) is a good hitchhiking spot on the motorway feeder. Take one of the bus lines 54, 55, 58, 68, 69 to get here. A sign might be very helpful, as cars are going fast here.
On the A60, there is a service area only 10 km away, just before the motorway branches. It's not very busy, but still good for getting long lifts.
