The sign showing the start of the expressway (and also 50km/h speed limit) is located 1.3km from the original location, on 5.května just before it passes over Vyskočilova, so legally it should be possible to hitch before it. At this spot there is a wide shoulder, lights, 50km/h speed limit. Take metro line C (red) to Budějovická. From exit on Budějovická street, turn left some metres and then turn right (northeast) on Vyskočilova. Walk northeast ≈350m until the exit slip road on the left just before the 5.května overpass. Cut across the grass embankment and walk up to 5.května itself and you will see the expressway sign. This spot looks good, but '''it needs to be tested.'''
==== Option 4: Motorway service station Újezd u Průhonic (BEST WAY TO WIENNAVIENNA) ==== '''2019: this service station is temporarily closed due to roadworks until 19th October. No traffic at all.'''You can check up-to-date info at [https://restaurace.mcdonalds.cz/d1-ujezd the McDonald's web]. - [[User:Duffajfka|Duffajfka]] found this out in August 2019. Walked some 2 km to the next petrol station AGP which is by far not as large, but an alternative for both drivers and hitchhikers. After 20 mins of asking got a straight ride to Brno.

Take metro line C (red) to ''Opatov''. Exit straight out of the station and take a left lift following the winding red ramp up to street level/the road above. From the bus-stop next to the Replay shop, take the bus X363 for 24kr (not a bus 363) X122 to the final stop ''K Sukovu'' (buses leave every 15-30 minutes). As it is in the "P" zone, usual fares and SMS-tickets apply. Continue on along the main road where Bus went and the street which will turn kind of right into Formanská and then 20 mtrs m ahead it splits into left and right. Stay on the right hand/main road and , cross the bridge over the highway and on the right there is a pathway going down to the Mc Donalds McDonald's + Gas Station gas station on the higway. The best jackpot a hitch hiker can hit. , going over motorway bridge. <br />This is the first motorway petrol station past Prague, really Best the best hitchhiking spot but takes extra some time to get there. Also, you have to show have a valid ticket or buy one from driver for the bus trip!
- [[User:Chillion|Chillion]] <i>"March 2018. This is one magnificent spot. Hitched a ride at on Thursday 12:30pm standing by the gas station sign; waiting time 30mins. Traffic was awful, so got dropped off on a slip road just outside Brno where I hitched a ride into the city. Then followed the Brno hitchhiking page, option 2 (6pm, 30min wait with sign) into Vienna."</i>
