From Gliwice, in Poland, one may easily hitch the following directions:

West:

By A4 motorway to:

  1. Opole/Wrocław/Legnica/Germany direction: Berlin & Gorlitz

You may easily get to the A4 motorway from the city center by following busses:

You need to get off at the bus stop called Trynek Ogródki Działkowe. It’s the 5th bus stop from the railway station.(the stop is situated just at the entrance to the motorway).
A 4 km long walk if U decide to walk.

It's a pretty good hitch-hiking spot at the entrance to the highway as there is a park lot allowing the drivers to stop easily.
You may hitch here at night time too as the area is full of lamps.

The only disadvantage of this place is that the directions to West (Wrocław ) and East (Kraków) goes together at this point and separate some 100 m further after the park lot & highway sign. Its impossible to hitch after the park lot (unless you will continue to walk along the entrance road & get down to the motorway attention-illegal ) as the separated roads are 1 car narrow and driver cant stop without blocking all the traffic.


From my observation the (working day)75 % of the traffic is direction EAST (ie. Katowice, Kraków). Therfore if you head for Wrocałw its better to walk along the entrance road down to the motorway to catch the transit traffic (Mean await time 22, 6 minutes [working day, day light] unless You look to gloomy ;->).

This Entrance/Exit is the best to get off at, as it’s the shortest way to walk (in case U arrive too late to catch a buss)to the town center.


East:

By A4 motorway to:

  2. Katowice/Kraków/Tarnów/Rzeszów/Przemyśl/Ukraine direction Lviv

By National Road No.44 to:

  3. Mikołów/Tychy

South:

By National Road No.78 to:

  4. Rybnik /Czech Republic direction Ostrava

North:

By National Road No. 901 to:

 5. Olesno (juntion with NR no.11 to Poznań)

By National Road No. 78 to:

 6. Tanowskie Góry (juntion with NR No.11 to Poznań)

I'll add more practical details & tips asap
