THIS METHOD DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE!.THERE IS A HIGH FENCE BETWEEN THE ROAD AND THE FIELD , AND THERE IS A POLICE STATION NEAR THE TOLL PLAZA. DON'T TRY IT ANYMORE!.
* '''''MOP Dopiewiec'' Rest Services'''
Start like above - from Ogrody catch the (infrequent, ticket inspected) bus 729 for about an hour to Dopiewiec. Walk back East along the road for 100m or so, then South along a road (turn right (along Szkolna?) for less than a km. You'll come to the A2 motorway - before the crossing and just over a meter high fence to the West (on your right) you'll find a rest station. There are only toilets and so little traffic, but I got a ride by asking in under 10 minutes. Did this in July 2018 on the advice if a local.
* '''Bus stop on ''Głogowska'' street'''
* '''Petrol station on ''Warszawska'' street'''
From city center take trams 6 or 8 to '''''Miłostowo''''' and get out at the last stop. From there walk along the road about 100 m and you will see Orlen petrol station. You can either ask drivers at the station or hitch at the end of it where is a place for cars to pull over.
:This spot at the road is ok, but traffic is going a bit fast (70km/u). [[User:Worldhitchhiker|Worldhitchhiker]] stood there for more than an hour. After that he moved to the petrol station and asked people, then I got a lift within 15 minutes to a gas station at the highway (04/2019).
Optionally you can walk along the same road and after 200-300m you will see a bridge and Volkswagen factory. Hitch straight after the bridge on the bus stop (there is plenty of cars and trucks who are going by inner bypass around Poznan, so many of them are going for a longer distances, and you may avoid local traffic like it's possible at the first place mentioned).
Take bus no. 73 direction ''Janikowo/Ogrodnicza'' from place called ''Rondo Sródka'' and get out after 11 stops (about 15-18 minutes) at bus stop called '''''Bogucin Bałtycka'''''. Hitch on this bus stop, it's on the road to Gniezno, Bydgoszcz and Gdańsk just after junction with Poznań bypass. You should notice railways nearby and crossed Poznań sign (end of the city zone). Notice that if your driver goes to [[Gnizeno]], make sure you exit before the city, since the road becomes a motorway inside the city and there is no good spot to be found.
UPDATE: If going north, e.g. to Gdańsk and your driver continues straight ahead to Gnizeno, ask to be let out just before the big new highway crossing to the west of Gnizeno. There is a bus stop where even trucks can stop, whereas the crossing itself is not very busy and the cars go much to fast. Morsch, August 2018.
=== North towards [[Piła]], [[Koszalin]] {{National Road Number Poland|11}} ===
See direction Berlin by motorway A2, from ''Głogowska'' street as it's the same spot.
* '''From the village of ''Szreniawa'''''
Get to ''Górczyn'' (last stop of trams 5, 8, 14 and many buses). Then take a bus 703 to the station AFTER '''''Szreniawa''''' (aproximatelly 15-20 25 min by bus from Górczyn). After getting off you can easily catch a car in the direction of Leszno, Wrocław. Get off the bus, walk back a few meters, turn right and walk down the path for about 200m to a bus stop where you can hitch.
=== Southeast towards [[Ostrów Wielkopolski]], [[Katowice]] {{National Road Number Poland|11}} ===
