There are several options to hitch out of Warsaw in western direction, and the option you choose depends on your location in the city and your personal preferences.
'''Option #3: S8 onramp (busstop) Warszawa-Powązkowska'''
This option is best when you have to get from the northern districts of the city to a good spot. There's no walking involved, you'll be able to get out of the bus and start hitching right away!
Take bus 103, 122, 180, 186 or 409 and get off at '''Gen. Maczka''' (Note: bus stops only on request here!). Hitch right from the bus stop where bus 186 in direction ''Szczęśliwice'' stops. Holding a sign A2 makes the difference to get the ride out. The S8 starts here and eventually changes into the A2 to [[Poznań]]. [http://goo.gl/maps/kizfT Streetview here].
(I used this spot in July 2018 and absolutely the best spot it is for Poznan. just waited 3 min and even the driver told me how convenient spot it was.)
Best stops betwen Warsaw - Olsztyn :(dont agree for Płońsk) Glinojeck (on roundbound), Mława, Nidzica (on trafic lights cross),
In worst case you can try to get ride to MOP Małopole on S8 highway
'''Option #2''' - Also you can get out from bus 738 at bus stop Cmentarz and walk back and a bit forward on road 8 / 629 towards Bialystok after some disctance this road joins a S8 highway.
In worst case you can try to get ride to '''Option #3: A2 highway service station before Warsaw - MOP Małopole on S8 highwayBrwinów Południe / Mcdonalds'''
Also there (Opposite side of higway are some small lakes and nice place to camp overnight. Search maps for Wake Family Brwinów)
'''Option #3''' (test option) - Roundbout S8 / national road 631 on ramp - bus 738 till Marki Szkolna and change to bus L43 till Sowinskiego and walk to aleja Jozefa Pilsudskiego (its same road as national road 631)
'''Option #4''' - The on-ramp [https://goo.gl/maps/A8a8cEvTZez in front of the Ikea] also looks promisingOr hitchike road 92 from Tesco Warsawa Bemowo till Święcice and walk to Biskupice 8 km
'Vysla river ''Wild camping''' with tents next to Vysla river and not far from Central bus station/railway - go to Świętokrzyski Bridge cross it and turn left on the first road Wybrzeże Szczecińskie. Walk one minute and you will spot downhill to side of river with the flat land and small hill with big tree camp on opposite side of the tree. Thats nice place noone see you from the road above.
