Take tram 1Note : If you're going past Katowice region (for example to Kraków), but your driver is turning off A4 there, 7 or 15 direction '''''Marino''''' and then get off at MOP Rachowice at the last stop. Then go to the other side outskirts of the main road and start hitching at the bus stop. You will be well seen by the drivers who stop at traffic lights.You can also take the bus 129 Gliwice - direction it''Ośrodek Rehabilitacji'', s a great spot to find a ride further on. Otherwise you might get off at the stop '''''Marino''''' and start hitchingstuck in some very bad spot with only local traffic.
'''NEED TO BE UPDATED''' when the work on the road will be over : A ring road is now finished and most of the traffic to the north is passing a few hundred meters away. It's now senseless to hitch at Marino. You still can come to Marino and then walk until you pass the ring "bridge"and hitch there=== Northeast towards [[Łódź]], cars have space to stop on the speeding up lane. I don't thinks it worth to go further for now since there is work on the road and cars wont have space to stop and they will not see you. I think they are working on the A8 and I expect the hitch hiking spot to change when they finish. The bus 129 (and some others) has some stop after Marino but I don't know the bus stop's name. --[[User:BikepunkWarsaw|BikepunkWarszawa]] 16:00, 9 August 2011 (CEST){{National Road Number Poland|8}} {{E|67}} ===
