From there walk over the rail tracks by bridge There are BP and go straight for about 800m. Behind AMIC Energy petrol stations down the second traffic lights there's a bus stop where you can hitch. There's no point of going further as expressway starts just a few hundred meters behind the bus stop. This expressway is a main Glogowska street / road linking city center with motorway A2 from the west. There are also two p,etrol stations nearby 196 where you can ask driversbut without option to hitchike on main street. From the same spot you can hitch towards Wrocław so make a sign.A lot of local people will go For hitchiking walk 5OO metres forward next to Komorniki, the first suburb of Poznań in that direction, where bus stop Wykopy there are a lot of shops like Auchan (supermarket) and a McDis more space for cars to stop. Often you will hear the recommendation that from there you will easily find Get a lift to the A2, but actually this is not true. Most traffic is coming from the A2 and is going to the center of Poznanrides at last till road toll place bramki.

A lot of local people will go to Komorniki, the first suburb of Poznań in that direction, where there are a lot of shops like Auchan (supermarket) and a McD. '''Dont accept''' that rides If you happen to be stranded on that McDonalds, you can also walk towards Głogowska road, just under the bridge, Seat factory there's is a empty hitchabke emergency lane in direction of Świecko, that some locals take. You can either take this and go to Berlin directly or hitchhike until the toll plaza, which will be a much easier option. on same Glogowska street / road 196

'''Option 4''' {{National Road Number Poland|92}} old and slower road<br/><br/>Go to ''Ogrody'' (last stop of trams 2, 7, 17, 18 and many buses) and take bus no. 61 direction ''Krzyżowniki''. Get out at the ninth stop called '''''Ul. Wichrowa''''' and walk along the road for about 300 m then you will see petrol station and McD's. Ask drivers there or stay on the road with sign or thumb. Also about 100 m after this place is a bus stop so it's more convenient for drivers to stop their car.

''Comment by a local: It's more convenient to get off at a stop named '''''Smochowice'''''. You can hitch hike from there or (what i usually do) hitch until the bus 01 (going through '''''Sady''''', don't mess it up!) arrives. Get on the bus, buy a ticket to Tarnowo and get off after you pass Sady. It's probably the 2nd stop after Sady, as far as i know the name is ''Marianowo'' (i'm not 100% sure about it though). You will notice it since it's a perfect place to hitch-hike: there are 2 lanes instead of 3, you are visible from a far distance and there is a lot of space for a car to stop. On your left side there will be a forest, on the right side there are few houses, in front of you there will be a board which indicates, that it's the road towards the PL - D boarder.''
