There are many was for cars to get through the station so it's hard to keep track of all. I chose the last exit of this roundabout, as there is a sign saying Wien. I also had a cardboard sign saying Wien.―jkczech

I waited only 6 minutes (solo guy, no sign, Saturday morning) and during that time 2 cars stopped. I would call that a success :D I was going to Salzburg direction. It's better to head just to Linz as there is a great hitchspot in Ansfelden, where I continued. Many cars continue from Linz to Germany (via Passau), that's why I think it's a bit more complicated to seek for direct ride to Salzburg from here.―jkczech

2 guys, in the evening, in the end with sign "WN" (Wiener Neustadt) I recommend trying to reach the McDonald's in Bad Fischau (beautiful building) because many people go just locally, but from the Rest station it's just easier to go further.―jkczech

Tough spot, a lot of heavy vehicles but no intensive to offer a ride. Can be hard to find a good spot. At the end I hung around the gas station. I had no luck with standing near the exit or in the town. After all got a ride to Wien.―GermanyToIndia

Great spot, around 40 cars per minute on a Friday midday. Our sign said Munich and we got dropped off close to Linz.―Aren

Nice place, and a bit of luck on a way directly to Graz. Guy took us to gas station near Graz airport. Probably good spot to Slovenia - Ljubljana.―TwoThumbsTravel

Really nice spot for Znojmo and Vienna, cars are slow from the roundabout, can see you clearly and almost everybody goes in this direction. Even though it didn't feel really safe a truck stopped for me after just few minutes. But for a passenger car, the spot is large enough.―martih

Wasn't lucky because of the rain but quite good spot on the roundabout. Not so crowded area on a afternoon weekday―cavalierrustique

It looks great, I was just probably unlucky. Waited 1h20 and got a ride only to St Polten.―mandat

Not perfect in terms of safety but it is just the best in this area. Only few minutes to take a ride to Wien―mandat

A lot of traffic, mostly - but not only - cars from Germany, Austria, but also Hungary, Slovakia and Czechia.However! Germans won't take you, so it is better not to waste time with them...

That's how the classic hitchhiking spot should look like - cars going slow, there is plenty of space to stop and you are visible from a far. I got there on Wednesday evening and got a ride to Andorf (small town in north Austria) with a driver who was going to Munich eventually.―estasbien

In the evening petrol station was empty, only local cars there. It looks like a good spot, but somehow I decided to go to the next spot and there I got a ride in 20 minutes―estasbien

Just went to the gas station. We (2 guys) didn’t even have to take our sign out, we got a ride to Munich with the 3rd car we asked. I guess quite lucky, but the spot looks really good anyways.―nach0

Good spot to go to ViennaGot picked up by the third car, got taken close to Vienna.
It's in a shade, cars have nice spot to stop and people are going to the direction of Vienna. Feels comfortable.

Good for people going to Vienna visible to people coming out of the gas station and traffic has enough time to see you and stop safely. Vary out of the way only ended up there because my last driver went out of his way to go past Sopron where he was.―Xavybaby
