Option 7: Uhříněveská Highway Entrance and Gas Station in Průhonice
==== Option 7: Uhříněveská Highway Entrance and Gas Station in Průhonice ====
The below is more written in warning than recommendation, as a stop spot that is possible but hardly ideal. Where Uhříněveská crosses beneath the highway in Průhonice there is a gas station, Čerpací Stanice AGP in Googlemaps. [[User:movethathoof|Movethathoof]] went there looking for a ride while Option 4 above was closed, and found it //very// quiet: little traffic, and the entrance to the gas station is from lanes that are separate from the highway, for cars that are otherwise exiting there onto Uhříněveská. That said, there is a regular trickle of trucks that pass through, many heading to Nuremburg and Wrocław (and though not Vienna, where they were). Before long, howeverStill, by asking everyone who stopped they before long did find a ride with two Germans who were headed to Vienna.
They also tried at the highway entrance there from Uhříněveská, which was useless. While the spot has good space to stop, and the traffic is not moving fast, 90 minutes there only taught them that the traffic is mostly local and the area must be //very// well off, to judge by the number of expensive sports cars there entering the highway and driving past. As well, if planning to be there once autumn really begins to bite, there is a large retaining wall right where you'll stand, casting a very deep shadow, and making it feel much, much colder after some time waiting!
To get there, the instructions are similar to option 4 above: take metro line C (red) to Opatov, exit to the street level bus stop directly above, and then instead take either the 363 or 385 buses (the bus driver may ask you to pay the 12 crown add-fare for where you're going). At least the bus Movethathoof took was nice and new, announcing (by voice and on a nice screen showing the coming stops, no less) the stop: you get off at the Průhonice roundabout (stop name Průhonice), and then walk five minutes up Uhříněveská (which is the street that makes the T-intersection at the round about, a left turn from the road and in the direction the bus travelled on from Opatov). The onramp will be right there on your right, and there is either a little path to the gas station, or stairs at the underpass (there were also truckers stopping simply to make purchases at the Lidl that is right there, the stairs being the more direct route between the two).
