Sean and Maria sat at this onramp at the Shopping City for 3.5 hours before we caught a ride (looking at appx 4000 cars). It is a very busy place, but most cars are heading back up to Vienna. We may have had really bad luck (weekday afternoon) but we recommend standing on the inside part of the curve, because the cars have to be in the right lane in order to get on the highway (left lane is to the shopping center). There is a smaller place to pull over, but it might be worth it. BIG sign might help.
*[[User:MaxHermens]] continued walking along the onroad, towards the highway that went from north to south, and stood on that onramp. This way, you'll always catch traffic going in the right direction. This does mean you have to walk along a patch of onramp with loads of traffic and no room for pedestrians (this is dangerous!). After that bit, the cars go right and up, and there starts a safety lane again where hitchhiking is possible. He waited here for about an hour until he got a ride towards Graz.
If you are okay with hitchhiking at traffic lights, you can also just go to "Schönbrunn" with U4 (underground – green line). Cross the street and walk towards the entrance of Schönbrunn-castle. Now you are on "Grünbergstraße". Here you can try to hitchhike from the traffic lights. This street leads to "Altmannsdorfer Straße" which leads to A2 (the motorway leading to the south).
