=== Northeast towards [[Szczecin]], [[Gdańsk|Gdansk]] (Danzig) {{Autobahn|11}} ===
==== Option 1: Berliner Allee ====
Take tram M4 from ''Alexanderplatz'' to ''Berliner Allee/Indira-Gandhi-Str.''. Then walk 150m along ''Berliner Allee'' to the bus lay-by. Many cars at this intersection have Polish license plates and are heading northeast, some as far as Gdansk. Using a ''[[Szczecin]]'' sign will surely persuade a Polish driver to stop, though be prepared to mix your languages and refer to cities by their Polish names.
==== Alternatively, walk 1 km north along Berliner Allee ====Borough Pankow, part Weißensee: Take the tram M4 to from ''Berliner Allee/Indira-Gandhi-Str.'' which can be caught at Alexanderplatzto the place just before where Darßer Str. Then walk along the passes over ''Berliner Alleeallee'' just around the half circle of the . I found this place to be much better. It's a long straight road where people don't drive too fast and find where there are a decent place where couple of pockets for cars can pull overto stop. Many cars at this intersection have Polish License and are heading North East, some as far as Gdansk. Use a sign with the city ''[[Szczecin]]'There' s less local traffic and surely a Polish driver will stophigher concentration of relevant traffic (Poles, though to be prepared to mix your languages blunt), and refer it's much nicer to cities by there Polish namesstand here. Check the map for the street viewI waited around 40 minutes until a truck driver stopped.
You can also continue about 1 km further ahead from the stop ''Berliner Allee/Indira-Gandhi-Str.'', to the place just before where ''Darßer Str''. passes above ''Berliner allee''. I found this place to be much better. There's a long straight road where people don't drive too fast and where there's a couple of pockets for cars to stop, there's less local traffic and a higher concentration of relevant traffic (Poles, to be blunt), and it's much nicer to stand here. I waited around 40 minutes until a truck driver stopped. ==== On Ramp Option 2: Motorway Junction Berlin-Weißensee ====First take the Take S-Bahn (line S2) direction Bernau from e.g. Friedrichstr. or Gesundbrunnen and go to get off at "Buch" (from Friedrichstr., that will be an about 24 min train ride). From there, catch a bus that goes to "Schwanebeck, Dorf" (ca. 10 min). Several buses will go there so check the time table there or ask the driver or someone else. Note that you will need a ticket including Zone C, as Schwanebeck is located outside of the border of Berlin. Next, you'll have to walk the main road of the village into southern direction. It's about 1.2 km to the on ramp; before that there is a petrol station where one can already ask drivers. You'll need the on ramp towards eastern direction, that means coming from Schwanebeck, you have to pass the first on ramp which leads towards western direction. There, standing behind the safety fence, you are visible to all drivers who queue up at the traffic light from both sides. It is not very easy for drivers to stop by but just before the actual on ramp cars can pull over, as they are not on full speed and a little firm area off the road allows to stop. On your sign you should write "A11" as it's not the on ramp for the A11 straight away, but rather to the "Berliner Ring" (A10); the A11 goes off the A10 about a kilometer after this on ramp. If your driver is not going to your destination but follows the A11 for a while, ask to be dropped off at service station "Buckowsee", which is located some 35 km after the A11 begins. This service station is the only one on All and afterwards on A20 (leading towards Stralsund or Rügen) but a very busy one. From here you should try to find your final ride.
* Update: Due to reconstructions of the on ramp that finished in 2013 the situation looks different. There is hardly a spot for drivers to stop and the cars are going quite fast. Berliner Allee might be the easier option.
