* '''From motorway junction'''Option 1 Toll on A2 highway Train to Swedow and 3 km walk to A2 Stryków toll (polish name bramki) Option 2 Junction Emilia
From train station ''Łódź Fabryczna'' take bus 70 direction ''Centrum Handlowe PTAK'' and get off in '''''Szpital C.Z.M.P.''''' (Hospital). It takes about 40 minutes to get there. You can hitch behind the crossroad on the merge lane.
For those who like to ask for a lift(or show their destination to drivers) at traffic light, there exist pretty good conditions(long-lasting red light, shade, McDonald toilet nearby) at semaphores (traffic light) next to the final MOP Wiśniowa rest stop of the tram #16 (pętla ''Kurczaki'') (single ticket costs 1,8 PLN 0,4€.) It takes ~40 min to get there by tram during weekdays, 30min on festive ones).
The traffic at this spot is already pretty "refined" of local vehicles & consists of 80% of vehicles in transit. I never waited Take bus 92 to the stop 'Kolumny - Czajewskiego' and from there longer than 7 lightsit' changes s a five minutes walk to get a lift to highway service center (you can't miss seeing it on your right while passing the bridge just before the bus stop). Be aware though that the very first lights of [[Częstochowa]] which centre is fenced and you'll have to go through a next perfect spot for finding a car direction [[Kraków]], [[Bielsko Biała]] or any city of gate/cross the Upper Silesian urban aglomeration).fance

From city centre e.g. from ''Nowowiejska-Północna'' street near ''Plac Wolności'' (Square of Freedom) take tram 46 direction ''Ozorków'' and get off in '''''Rosanów'''''. The journey takes about 55 minutes (about 20km). The tram stop is located just behind roundabout where motorway junction starts. There's an emergency lane, so even trucks have enough space to pull over.

Take tram 6 from the centre. Direction "Strykowska". Get off at the last one. Keep walking the same way as the tram, pass a bridge over railroad, pass a little gas station, and 200m after, on the other side of the road, there's a bus stop with good visibility and parking. And a little bakery if you're hungry :) . .
