As of November 2019, Via dell'Inviolatella Salaria remains blocked by a construction site at the hairpin turn of Via della Maremma, around halfway to the station. Because of the hill's slope on the other side and the breadth of the construction site you should not turn there onto Via della Maremma, but rather skirt the fencing of the construction site to its left (facing it as you approach). Past a thicket the fencing gives way and you can continue on Via dell'Inviolatella Salaria to the footbridge. On the other side of the footbridge there is a clear path to the highway, where the fence has been smashed down for easy jumping. From there you can walk along the highway or embankment Option 3''' to the station.Grosseto
Also as of November 2019Take bus to Maglianella/Riserva Di Torretta, and walk a little bit forward to the restaurant at this station is closed for renovations of some kind. The gas station remains open, and there are still bathrooms highway and a coffee machineturn left, but in the experience of [[user:movethathoof|Movethathoof]] many people pull inwalk 20meters, see the restaurant there is closeda bus stop « Aurelia/Brava », and zoom right out againa big place for car to stop.
'''Problem''': If you don't find the way, or if the way is blocked (e.g. in March 2014, by a massive building site), it is really really hard to get to the spot. There are swamps, loads of fences, private property, tremendously overgrown ramps and murderous blackberry bushes. Local people don't seem to know anything about the little footbridge, so you need to be quite determined.
Alternative: [http://maps.google.com/maps?q=42.010805,12.51824&num=1&t=h&sll=42.00736South towards [[Napoli]],12.52286&sspn[[Sicily]] =0.016583,0.032015&ie=UTF8&ll=42.009525,12.521281&spn=0.009008,0.01929&z=16 This] is petrol station which should at least bring you on the highway A1. (But probably it's worth looking for a totally other petrol station on A1 which is reachable by public transport; at the latter station a lot of people don't head onto the motorway, a lot head home)
To Grosseto: Take bus to Maglianella/Riserva Di Torretta, and walk a little bit forward to the highway and turn left, walk 20meters, there is a bus stop « Aurelia/Brava », a big place for car to stop.'''Option 1'''
=== South towards [[Napoli]], [[Sicily]] ===First Option: This is the first gas station on the highway connecting Rome to the A1 highway going south. It's still inside the city, so very easy to reach, but it's already on the highway. There is a fence on the back but if you look trough some bushes where a little building is, the fence is broken and easy to climb, or there is an hole in the bottom (to be updated if they fix it). Go to Anagnina station either by metro or by bus (it's one of the biggest terminal in Rome) take the bus 046 and stop at "carnevale lettere", the gas station is only 400 m away. Walk back for a few meters cross the road and turn right on via cavaglieri, and then the first left, and at the end of the street there is the gas station. there are also other buses going around the area (500, 504...) just use the route planner of public transport to see what's the best for you
Second '''Option: 2''' Take Line No. 105 (Staz. ne Grotte Celoni) to the stop '''Casilina/Tor Vergata'' (29 stops), walk 150 meters, go to stop ''Tor Vergata/Casilina'', take Line No. 507 (Anagnina (Ma)) to ''Heidelberg'' (4 stops) take Line No. 509 (Fosso del Cavaliere/CNR) to ''Fosso del Cavaliere/CNR'' (2 stops). Follow the sign Napoli to your right and then at keep left at the tournabout. Bus stops are a good indication that you're on the right path. ''Via del Fosso del Cavaliere'' takes you to the other side of the motorway, and from there keep walking towards the IP Frascati Ovest gas station; you can enter it from the backside. Don't bother about "forbidden entrance". And now you can continue hitchhiking towards Napoli/Sicily.
Just take bus 105 and then get off after 29 stops and follow the sign Napoli to your right and then at keep left at the tournabout. Bus stops are a good indication that you're on the right path. ''Via del Fosso del Cavaliere'' takes you to the other side of the motorway, and from there keep walking towards the gas station; you can enter it from the backside. Don't bother about "forbidden entrance". And now you can continue hitchhiking towards Napoli/Sicily.
From Termini go by metro line B to Ponte Mammolo station, and there you can take bus 508 (that is first station) and go untill last station - Mondavio. That is one long ride and you will come close to crossroad of second ring of highway around Rome and highway from Rome to east [Pescara, L Aquila]. Actually from that last station (Mondavio),you have walking around 500m to highway and then choose left to toll (around 1000m) or right to gas station (the same distance). We were walking on the highway which is illegal, but we had a luck not to be caught by police. Link for buses and metro in Rome: http://www.atac.roma.it/index.asp

There's a much more practical option if you want to head east. It's a gas station at the very beginning of A24 on the outbound side. GPS coordinates are: [https://www.google.com/maps?q=41.900767,12.549775 41.900767, 12.549775]
While the gas station described above has got traffic heading other directions already filtered out, this one serves people going multiple directions, but is way closer to the city center, easier to reach and still very effective. From Roma Termini, ride subway line B towards Rebibbia, and get off at Monti Tiburtini. From there, walk down the main road until you're just past the second overpass (exact coordinates here: 41.902511, 12.556836). From there, walk up the off-ramp trying to keep behind the guardrail. At some point you'll have to walk on the very road because of a fence surrounding a canal, but you can climb back over the guardrail after that. At the end of the off-ramp, you'll have to walk on the motorway again, but it's just a very short distance, and a part of it is ever sheltered by a concrete divider. The gas station is just a few meters down the road.
My friend and I (two boys) tried this in October 2017 and it was fine. The staff was very tolerant, they told us we were fine as long as we didn't stand under the covered part of the station, but there's plenty of other areas to ask people, like the parking lot and the self-service lot. We got a ride after 30 minutes, and it took us 4 rides to make it all the way to Teramo.
== Public transport ==
One good method is to purchase a ticket but not validate it. Spend your journey beside one of the yellow validation machines (check it is not "out of service" first - fuori servizio), so that in case an official checkers arrives, you can validate it. You can keep going for months like this in Rome.'''Option 1'''
If From Termini go by metro line B to Ponte Mammolo station, and there you want to can take the metro bus 508 (that is first station) and go untill last station Mondavio. That is one long ride and you need a ticketwill come close to crossroad of second ring of highway around Rome and highway from Rome to east [Pescara, L Aquila]. In some metro stations Actually from that last station Mondavio, you can try have walking around 500m to highway and then choose left side walk to Roma Est Strada dei Parchi toll around 1 km or right side walk to enter 2 people with Eni A24 Colle Tasso Sud gas station 1 ticket if no officials are lookingkm. We were walking on the highway which is illegal, but we had a luck not to be caught by police.
If you are using the "trenino" (small train) from ''Termini'Option 2' to ''Centocelle'', keep in mind that at the 2 end stations (Roma Laziali at Termini, and Centocelle) you have to validate the ticket like on the metro but at any other station you don't. So you can just walk one station and board on the train.

To get there, take the metro (costs 1.5 euro) to "Tiburtina", and from there a regional train to "Settebagni". It takes 20 minutes, leaves every 15 minutes on weekdays and costs 1 Euro. You can follow [https://goo.gl/maps/RSDE7BRwM4x this route] to the footbridge over the motorway which leads you to the petrol station - the road is called Via dell'Inviolatella Salaria. You shouldn't walk more than about 20-25 minutes from the station. Until Firenze, there are around 5 more petrol stations to change cars, so it goes quite well. The last one is 5 km before Firenze.
