See the directions for Option 2 to Hradec Králové. Lots of hitchhikers use this place. Use a sign "MB" (Mladá Boleslav) or "LB" (Liberec). It's necessary to use a sign because the road splits in many directions. Due to the construction of sections of the Prague Ring (R1), long-distance traffic is lower each day; however, this spot is still usable.
=== North, Northwest towards [[Ústí nad Labem]], [[Teplice]], [[Dresden]], [[Berlin]] {{Dcz|8}}{{E|55}} ===
'''Warning''': If you are passing through Dresden, take a look at the [[Dresden]] hitchwiki page. From either of the spots you can take rides to OMV petrol station before Lovosice or to the Agip petrol station after Ústí nad Labem. The hitchhiking positions there are also good.
==== Option 1: D8 ====
Take metro line C (red) to "''Holešovice"''. From here, take bus 201 to "''Vychovatelna" '' (3 stops). You will find a great spot with lots of traffic still going slow right at the bus station.
(''Tried'':) The author had not noted that there are three lanes on this road, and the two inside lanes take the cars to Dresden. The bus lane of course is great and the cars are not going too fast, but anyone going to Dresden on this road would need to cut across a few car lanes to come pick you up. Quite possible but there are better options than this.
==== Option 2: OMV petrol station on D8====
Take metro line C (red) to "''Letňany"''. Take any bus heading north one stop, or walk 500m north, to "''Výstaviště Letňany"''. Keep walking northwest along Tupolevova for 500m, crossing over Beranovych to the pedestrian crossing at the traffic lights. Cross Tupolevova here and keep heading southwest on the pathway leading onto Opocenska. Walk ≈250m along Opocenska and you will see a small footpath to the right (before the pedestrian/cycle bridge over the highway) heading straight to the OMV petrol station (≈150m walk).
==== Option 3: Bigger OMV petrol station on D8 ====
Take metro line C (red) to "''Letňany"''. Take bus 195, 140, 158, 110, or 269 to the stop “Obchodní ''Obchodní centrum Čakovice”Čakovice''. Turn back in the direction the bus came from and walk ≈1km along Kostelecká (past the roundabout) until you reach the sliproad coming off the D8. This is just before the bridge over the D8. Turn left into the sliproad and after walking ≈100m, you will come to the petrol station (with a McDonalds behind it).
=== West towards [[Plzeň]], [[Klatovy]], [[Nürnberg]], [[München]] {{Dcz|5}}{{E|50}}===
