If it has a yellow sticker from the municipality, it has been there long time and soon will be picked up by the police and sold in their auction.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION The best spot to go is definitely located near ''Viby Torv''. Take bus #1a, #6a, #4a, #200, or #14 towards ''Viby Torv''. Get out there, walk some meters back to the big traffic light and go to the left into the ''Viby Ringvej''. You'll also recognize signs announcing the motorway.

Most cars are driving from the other direction, so it will be faster to cross the roads (you will have to cross a road where it is not allowed to walk by foot, and also go under a tunnel, but it takes only 2 minutes and it is really way more easy to catch a ride). Most cars stopping only goes to Skanderborg, but if you want to get further south (Germany), only accepting cars to at least Vejle Nord is a good idea, as there are so many cars stopping here, that you will eventually get a ride to at least Vejle in a short time. Here it pays to be patient!
