=== South towards [[Dresden]] and [[Cottbus]] {{Autobahn|13}} ===
==== Option 1: B96a Altglienicke BEST SPOT FOR DRESDEN ====Take S-Bahn S9 or S45 to ''Altglienicke''. When getting off, you'll see there is a road that runs parallel on your left-hand side to the S-Bahn line (if you are facing North), and a red light. To get there, leave the platform by using the footbridge and turning right at the staircase (walk over the road running parallel). On the right side, There will be a pathway that goes down to the road - it's a little windy path that will eventually take you there. You will come to the road that runs parallel to the S-Bahn track and on that road is the red light that does not seem to have any shoulder space. But do not be confused. This is the BEST PLACE to stand and get an immediate ride. Cross the road to stand at the red lighton the SBahn Track side. You can ask cars every time they stop for the red light. The red light is 100 m before the right hand onramp of the Autobahn going to Cottbus or Dresden. NoteUpdate : It may seem like there is nowhere no shoulder for cars to pull over at the red lightup but there is which most drivers know. As an alternative, We could not see it's better to walk ≈800 m back (northeast) to the start of and got confused and took a wide hard shoulder on the highway. This shoulder ends at ride in the beginning direction of the S-bahnairport, so there's lots of space for a car wasted like 3 hours and came back to pull over safely (as noted below)this point crossed the road and got the first ride within 5 minutes.
* This is a much better the best place to hitch towards Dresden/Prague than Schöneweide in my opinion( I second the opinion ) ! In Schöneweide I waited one hour and more, in Altglienicke max. 15 minutes! Some drivers also told me they say hitchhikers in Schöneweide but didn't take them because it was difficult for them to stop there. In Altglienicke it's easy.
XX - Do not follow the instructions below. Very confusing and do not work.
* I'd suggest to go some hundred meters down the road. A normal lane changes into a parking lane, where cars can easily stop. Actually I saw cars from anywhere in Germany (Dresden, Hannover, Hamburg, Munich, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Offenburg, Leipzig) [[User:Redjo27|Redjo27]]
* I didn't find this ''parking lane'' some hundred meters down the road, but there was the offramp that goes to Dresden maybe 100 m or less. This is really unsafe. I instead went 100 m or so back towards Berlin (from the above mentioned red light) where you will find a long stretch of safe lane space for cars to stop. This is prime real estate for hitchhiking as cars are going slow enough and there is plenty of run way in and out. I have taken this twice now, and waited only 10 min one time, and about 45min the next. [[User:Filbert|Filbert]]( This did not work at all despite all the shoulder space. Cars have no incentive or natural reason to spot and they are already speeding because they are anticipating the Red light ahead.
* Next to the road close to the S-Bahn station is a big breakdown lane, where cars can stop easily.
