A really good place is the service area ''Lichtendorf'' at the [[A1 (Germany)|A1]], in the south of the town. From city center take subway U47 to Aplerbeck, than take the bus #431 or #438 to ''Lichtendorf Schule'', follow the road until the end and turn right into ''Römerstraße''. For going South turn left from Römerweg into a small service road going to the gas station. For going North continue until you can turn left and pass under the bridge and turn left again. The fare is about EUR 2,20.
Another, even better, option is to take the train to Soest (once or twice an hour from the main train station) and go to the stop Dortmund-Soelde. Walk out the stop and take the right exit of the tunnel. After two minutes you will see the bus stop where the busses are bus 431 is going to "Lichtendorf Schule"(direction Lichtendorf). Public transport is horrible overpriced in Germany, but at least you don't need to buy seperate tickets for different transportation within the city, so you can use the same ticket for train, metro, trams and busses and change as often as you need. The bus is every 20 minutes, takes 15 minutes to ride and then it takes another 15 minutes walking to get to service station Lichtendorf Sud, from where you can catch a ride North. Update (July 2018): this station may be very good for going to Berlin and Hannover, but not so good for Bremen, Hamburg, Münster, etc, we waited good couple of hours there. Considering relatively long time required to get to Lichtendorf Süd do consider finding other locations closer to the city center and making your way from there towards service stations/slip roads by showing signs to the North.
