We asked people around the rest-station and some Serbian guy took us in the direction to Györ. (we had to climb over a fence to get to the spot!, so it's not ideal)―Paja12345

Didn't work for us to get out of Vienna. We gave up after more then 3 hours of waiting.―Paja12345

The gas station also serves as a highway exit into the local industrial district and these cars generate most of the traffic, there aren't many cars actually going to Bratislava. That being said, this is most likely still the best place to get out of Vienna eastward.―klawik

The traffic was not terrible, but nothing too crazy either. Took me almost 4 hours to find a ride, but once I did, I got taken all the way to my target for the day (Vienna).―klawik

It's a good place to stop at the bus stop. A lot of cars with Austrian license plates drive by, but they're going pretty fast. I also tried waiting at the gas station for half an hour, but relatively few Austrians stop there.―Anonymous

A lot of traffic with Austria people and trucks, I stood at the exit at the roundabout, cars going slowly and even trucks can stop behind you―Topf

This spot was excellent for me! I was in front of the pull-off, so I gave cars enough space and time to see me and stop. I had a GRAZ sign, and that was definitely helpful.―Tales

Good spot for going west! Met the first other hitchhiker and we hitchhiked to a gas station near Linz together. It took one an a half hour to get a lift, but there was plenty of space for the cars to stop so it should eventually go quicker to find one.―Carl07

Big gasstation! Not so many cars in the early afternoon, but with asking you will find somebody soon. I got a lift with polish tourists who drove back there and they took me all the way to Vienna.―Carl07

Honestly shocked that others say that this spot is shit for Budapest and good for Vienna — I had exactly the opposite experience hitchhiking to Austria! Three hours waiting with a sign for ‘Graz’ (I was on my way to Zagreb), and the only offer in that direction that I got was to a town just over the border. Yet three people stopped to ask if going to Budapest would help, and two more people stopped to apologize that they were going to Budapest!I had banked on people going to Vienna making the connection that Vienna is on the way to Graz, but as hour three closed I made a sign for Vienna, and it was STILL another hour. There is no shade at the on-ramp and it gets hot. The traffic is a steady trickle but honestly not that much. I would try another spot next time, no question.
Lots of space in the surrounding area to camp unseen, though, if this spot does serve you. I walked here from the end of the tram line at night to cross the highway with less traffic and start early (not that the early start helped!), and was at least well rested for the frustration.

Excellent spot where the cars can see you from far and have the place to stop even tho they are coming fast. We had a sign "Vienna" with a French flag. The driver drove us next to the St Etienne Cathedral.2 guys hitchiking

At first sight this place look hopleless dirty and dodgy I thought I never gonna get a ride from this gas station so with little expectations I tried to get a ride from a night bus station that is next to the shell gastation... Worked like charm in 20 mins straight ride to Graz―Mitris
