Going North (Metz, Saarbrücken) {{Afr|4}} and South (Mulhouse, Switzerland) {{Afr|35}}: notes on the petrol station / alternative routes.
The German town of [[Kehl]] (just over the border to the East) is a good place to pick up traffic to the A5 (all directions), especially from the petrol station at the entrance to the B28 ([http://hitchwiki.org/maps/?place=7333]).
Walking (from Strasbourg centre) to Kehl takes about 50 minutes if you go the shortest route (check Google maps!).Strasbourg tram reaches Kehl center since 2018, the price is the same as within Strasbourg, 2€
Alternatively, you can take the regional train (around 6 minutes for about EUR 3) or the bus tram (line #21; one bus every 30 min; EUR D, 20 minutes, 1.30; takes longer than the train80€). The bus stops in several places from "Ancienne Douanne" (in the centre) through to the east side of the city. On Sunday the first bus leaves at 09:30.
By train, for 2 euro more, you can continue after [[Kehl]] till Appenweier. From there you can walk or hitchhike to the petrol station "Rasthof [[Renchtal]]" (2,5 km check the route on maps.google.com or see [[Renchtal]] for details ). It can be a good alternative to Kehl because in 30 minutes more, you're on the German motorway network.

From the bus stop walk up to the entrance of the church ("Église" is French for "church") nearby. Facing the entrance just walk down Rue de l'Église parallel left to the church. Keep on walking until you reach Rue d'Illkirch which leads to the bridge over the motorway (see [https://goo.gl/maps/Me0pt directions]). If you want to go '''south''', don't cross the bridge: There is a steep path down to the petrol station. If you want to go '''north''' cross the bridge and access the other petrol station.

You will find Update: https://hitchwiki.org/en/User:Whisperingofthestars tried this spot (south) in November 2023. Oddly enough, it in was mostly foreigners coming into the petrol station, and little of them at that. Seems like the petrol station was giving out very little petrol (for whatever reason). It took forever to get out. {Pay attention also when you get a ride south, between approaching Mulhouse and south (and also coming back north) there's no petrol stations. Jass thinks there was one on the way between Strasbourg and Mulhouse. Mulhouse is also quite out of the way if you're heading to Basel.  '''Option 2 ''' Toward Mulhouse via the D1083. Take the bus 62 (at the end of the A tram line Graffenstaden) and stop at . There you can walk up north for 3/5 minutes walking. All , on the D1083, toward a Total gas station! Eventually the road joins the bestN83, Robbel'and the A35.Note- there's little reason why people would take the national to go direct to Mulhouse as the motorway is free on this section until Basel.
=== Going North ([[Metz]], [[Saarbrücken]], [[Paris]]) ===
The trainticket from Strasbourg to Stephansfeld costs EUR 3.90 (2016). You may have to jump a fence to enter the actual petrol station, but it is not too tall and in June 2016 there was a convenient hole in it.
Alternatively, just walk (10 minutes from the centre) to Place de HuguenauHaguenau, and walk to the entrance of the A4 (there is a cycle path that leads right next to it if you don't like contending with the cars). There is a lot of space for people to stop and it is the best way to head north from the centre. Mind you, do NOT hitchhike at the Place de Haguenau as there is absolutely no shoulder to pull over.
=== Going west ===
# '''Option 1'''  Join the A4 by the "going Going north route" (see upper)above. Good solution for Paris.# '''Optioon 2''' Join the N4: take the "bus interurbain" [http://www.cts-strasbourg.fr/Portals/0/PDF/horaires/interurbains/hiver/205.pdf #205],[http://www.cts-strasbourg.fr/Portals/0/PDF/horaires/interurbains/hiver/206.pdf #206 or #207] from "Ancienne synagogue-Les Halles" or "Gare Centrale" to Ittenheim (eur 1.80). From Ittenheim's bus stop, walk till the entry of the village (3 minutes), and you're on the best spot of the N4 to leave Strasbourg. This road has the advantage to be free of fees so many cool people use it. I recommend it to go to Metz and Nancy cause you don't loose a lot of time compared to motorways and you have many more chances to get a lift. Very efficient, I never waited more than 5 minutes there! == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}} {{Cities France}}
