From Take Tram 1 to Braunschweig-Hansestrasse Ost or bus 484 to Braunschweig-Hansestrasse Ost or Daimlerstrasse. On the city center take opposite side of the bus street from the McDonalds, you can wait on the corner with a sign for SZ (Salzgitter) which will bring you to the newly opened (Sept 2018) gas station "Salzgitter Hüttenblick). A lot of people drive from Braunschweig to Rüningen and exit at Raabestraßeleast Salzgitter. Walk trough the motorway bridge The spot is great because there is a traffic light for cars waiting to turn, and then take a you can walk over up and down the fields line of cars with your sign. Be ready to get into a car quickly, though, in case the light changes. I've never waited more than 5 minutes here. At Salzgitter Hüttenblick, you'll find people going south on the service stationA7, towards Kassel, which can be seen from herebut also going to Hannover.
You can also get out at the Services Rüningen (North of ''Braunschweig-Rüningen-Süd'', Exit 13b) and take a bus into town from there.
no edit summary
The city is located along the [[A2 (Germany)|A2]], and there traffic jams quite often between [[Hannover]] and [[Braunschweig]].
The A39 (which connects the A2 with the [[A7 (Germany)|A7]]) is now completed and the gap between [[Wolfenbüttel]] and [[Wolfsburg]] near Braunschweig is closed. This may change the traffic situation in southern Braunschweig a little bit in a positive way, there could be very good new hitchhiking spots towards east, south and west in the southern city. Just check it out!
The gas stations Rüningen Nord and Süd have been closed and new gas stations a bit further away from the city have been opened, Salzhitter Hüttenblick (as of Aug. 2018).

Don't let yourself be dropped at ''Braunschweig Flughafen'' (Airport). It is a research airport and there is no traffic on weekends or after 6pm. From ''Braunschweig Ost'' it is a 6km walk to the next tram station (but maybe hitchable). ''Braunschweig Nord'' is a motorway crossgood place to be dropped off when you're coming from the A2, especially coming from the east. Exit 55 BS Kreuz Nord, make sure you slow down to not end up driving back onto the Autobahn (not very clearly marked). Then exit "Hansestrasse" and there you can drive into the McDonalds parking lot (make sure you're on the left-turn lane to be able to drive straight into the parking lot). This is a 2 km exit so just make sure you ask your driver. For him/her, donit't s easy from there to get back onto the highway. It's 3 km down Hansestr going west, so for someone driving towards Berlin it's a detour but someone driving west, it's in their direction anyway.From there, you can take Tram 1 from Braunschweig-Hansestrasse Ost or bus 484 from Braunschweig-Hansestrasse Ost or Daimlerstrasse. If you're coming from the 391, you can also be dropped thereoff at BS Kreuz Nord. Best is ''Braunschweig Hafen'' but it is still a walk 3km to the next tram-station. If coming from the west, it is possible that your driver leaves at BS Hafen and then takes you to Hansestraße (where you will find the tram station) your driver can easily go back on the motorway from there because there is another ramp.
=== A391 ===
It looks like it's possible to get dropped off at ''Kreuz Braunschweig Süd'' if your driver turns south towards Braunschweig Heidberg, then stops at the petrol station to let you get out and then turns right to a roundabout to turn. You have to walk further south to get to the tram station ''HEH-Kliniken''.
