Not a particularly good spot for a car to stop

Good for Salzburg, possibly for Linz. Total shitty for Graz! Lot of cars with families... Better to go somewhere else.

Medium traffic, but good spot for Graz. We were lucky and got a ride to Kirchendorf right away. I would recommend standing with sign after the roundabout.

Better than Voralpenkreuz imo, but still mixed experience. Almost no austrian cars, mostly german tourists or balkans going home. More cars going north or towards Wien/SLK than direction Graz/SLO. People not super friendly, I agree better to ask truck drivers and people than waiting with a sign. (truck driver approached me with a ride to Graz after seeing me struggle for a while with my Graz sign)

Last big Raststätte before München!! Decent, although not the busiest. Definitely need a sign for whatever direction you need after München. I waited with an AT sign at the end of the station. Eventually got a ride from someone going all the way to Hungary.

good spot, a good few cars going to the rest station, but i got moved on by cops after like 20 minutes here. you could talk to drivers and get a lift fairly easily i guess.

here is a good spot but on a saturday in summer there were many families and cars with no space. there was also a vaction driving ban for truckers so i couldnt ask them for rides either. i tried thumbing from the end of the station but i eventually got a lift talking to some hippie looking people going to graz. a lot of the drivers who had no space were going to vienna or elsewhere in austria.

A bit so so since there were roadworks, but cars aren't going fast and a car can pull over, took the first ride to a gas station 10km away.

not so bad, kind of a game of chance with the traffic lights. waited here with a sign that said salzburg / linz and finally a guy picked me up and drive me just to the closest gas station on the a9 where i then caught a ride with a truck to wels. not the worst, not the best. was thinking of trying the gas station about a kilometer closer to graz, could be better there to ask around.

direction to Graz

Didn't work well for me. Not many cars, maybe a little more towards Salzburg than direction Graz.
In the end, after almost an hour, someone picked me up just to drop me off at the exit "Ried", a few minutes down the A9, spot in the middle of nowhere. Avoid!

That's a rest area with a gas station, restaurant, maybe even a hotel. The name is Voralpenkreuz. Lots of trucks, but also normal cars. Good spot to change an auto if you are going from Salzburg direction Graz. Also lots of people going North on A8, and to Linz.

Hard to get to direction Salzburg. Took us 1,5h ... Most people going to Graz. Nice place and free Wifi Access :)
