'''Pforzheim''' is a medium size town in [[Baden-Württemberg]], Germany on the northern edge of the Black Forest between [[Stuttgart]] and [[Karlsruhe]] on the traffic connections between those bigger cities. The risk of [[traffic jam]]s on this part of the near [[motorway]] 8 (“Autobahn 8”''Autobahn 8'', A 8) is among the highest of whole Germany. To relax this situation there is road constructions taking place and adding to the problem at the moment.
== Hitching out ==
For longer distances it is advisable to take the motorway. The motorway 8 bends around the north and east of the city to [[Stuttgart ]] (east) and [[Karlsruhe ]] (west).
=== Eastwards ===To travel eastwards ([[Stuttgart]], [[MunichMünchen]]) take {{Autobahn|8}} ===To travel eastwards use the [[on-ramp]] “Pforzheim Ost” ''Pforzheim Ost'' or “Pforzheim Süd” ''Pforzheim Süd'' or go to the [[service area]] Pforzheim that is located near the on-ramp “Pforzheim Ost” ''Pforzheim Ost'' or rather the crossroads with [[national road]] 10 (“B 10”''B 10'') before Niefern. Those places are some kilometres away from the town centre and it may be worth to hitchhike (the B 10) or take a bus. Buses of route 1 of the city bus service in direction Eutingen go that direction.
=== Westwards ===For westbound travels (towards [[Karlsruhe]], [[France]], [[Luxemburg]], [[Belgium]]) take {{Autobahn|8}} ===For westbound travels use the motorway entrance “Pforzheim West”''Pforzheim West''. It is located on the Wilferdinger Höhe, a big industrial area in the northwest of the city. Busses of route 6 in direction “Lange Grund” go up there. The national road 10 (“B 10”, that also goes to Karlsruhe in the end) runs all the way through the length of the Wilferdinger Höhe; shortly after the towns end in the west to the right there is the on-ramp. Shortly before there is a [[fuel station]] (“Jet”) and a fast food restaurant (“Burger King”). There you can stand next to the street with a [[sign]] or with your [[thumb]] out or [[ask]] drivers at the fuel station or restaurant. Normally it's no problem to get a ride to Karlsruhe; a big part of the traffic to Karlsruhe takes that route.
