See Take metro line B (yellow) to the end station ''Černý most''. There is the directions for Option 2 K+R (Park & Ride) to Hradec Královéthe right (east) of the station. Lots of hitchhikers use this place. Use a sign "MB" (Mladá Boleslav) or "LB" (Liberec). It's necessary to use a sign because the road splits in many directions. Due to the construction of sections of the Prague Ring (R1), long-distance traffic is lower each day; however, this spot is still usable.

:(''Tried'':) The author had not noted that there are three lanes on this road, and the two inside lanes take the cars to Dresden. The bus lane of course is great and the cars are not going too fast, but anyone going to Dresden on this road would need to cut across a few car lanes to come pick you up. Quite possible but there are better options than this.

Take metro line C (red) to ''Letňany''. Take any bus heading north one stop, or walk 500m 500 m north, to ''Výstaviště Letňany''. Keep walking northwest along Tupolevova for 500m500 m, crossing over Beranovych to the pedestrian crossing at the traffic lights. Cross Tupolevova here and keep heading southwest on the pathway leading onto Opocenska. Walk ≈250m ≈250 m along Opocenska and you will see a small footpath to the right (before the pedestrian/cycle bridge over the highway) heading straight to the OMV petrol station (≈150m ≈150 m walk).

It's a fairly big service station with McDonalds McD and enough cars.'''Note: As of May 2018, the petrol station on the side of D5 leading westwards is under construction and the corresponding exit therefore closed. Try catching a lift on the ramp near Horelice.'''

Take metro line B (yellow) to the terminal station "''Zličín"''. Go under the road Řevnická and turn immediately left. Continue south along Řevnická for 150m to the crossroads with traffic lights. You can stand right at the triangle down on Rozvadovská spojka (police can kick you out) or ask people at the nearby petrol station, KFC, or parking lots. None of these places are good (Options 1 and 2 are better).

Use Now keeping on the staircase at the beginning of the bridge to get down to same road walk for 20mins and you'll reach the SHELL petrol station.<br />

Easily reachable petrol station, not a lot of traffic thoughand is sometimes enforced by a employee in Shell uniform. Good Has cover for in bad-weather or snow conditions. In all honesty this station seems iffy.There isn't much traffic on both gas stations. Both are not advisable.You can try standing at the ramp to the motorway just outside Chodov Mall. First go inside, to floor 0. Walk to the easternmost part of the mall, there use the elevator to floor -2. In the parking house, walk east to the exit. There's the ramp. You might have to wait long for a ride. We gave up after an hour.

There are not many cars at the OMV petrol station or they have different directions (often [[Pilsen]]).</strike><br>
