Good spot to go to Milan, because there are two direct ways. And it is just one way from the gas station for all the traffic. We (couple) had a sign Milan.―TwoThumbsTravel

somewhat bad place for me (headed to Genova), it took a while to talk my way into a ride,around 1:30 hours in the mid day, but with help of the station workers I got a ride to just south of Milano to a gas station―Whateversclaver

You can reach this Petrol station from Gessate the last stop of Metro 2 Green Line and after that walking and arrive there without walking on highway check the map( but you can lost easily if you don't have a map so i advice the spot on cologno nord,easier to reach) it's full of cars and foreigner trucks i found a ride asking to truck-drivers after 5 minutes!!―Anonymous

So this is the spot №1 from the "how to get out of Milan" guide. At least that's how I got here. The instructions were mostly clear and intuitive, though some things have already changed since the article was written. As such, for some reason the metro train wasn't going all the way to Cologno Nord station. Rather it stops at Cascina Gobba and from there you have to take a bus to the desired metro station. The ride was about 20 min long and I didn't even pay for it.When I got to Cologno Nord I followed the instructions and walked for about half a mile in the northeast direction until I saw the big electricity pole. To get to it, I had to jump over a 2 meter wide trench (it's more convinient if you cross it at the car gate to your right). Then I had to make a jump over a yet another trench, this time just below the electricity pole. Though I found the doors to be closed with padlocks so I had to jump over the fence from where you can just casually walk downhill to the gas station.
Advice: watch out for the stingy bushes, wouldn't recommend going this way if you're wearing just shorts and a t-shirt (you're likely to scratch yourself badly due to the dense vegetation that stands in your way).
After I got to the station I got picked up pretty quickly. The driver gave me a lift all the way to Bergamo from where I went with another car to my destined city of Brescia.

Cars did not stop for us, tried on 2 different days. We looked like casual backpackers, 2 people m and f. Signs written with Verona and Trieste.We took a flixbus to Trieste in the rnd (it was cheaper than blablacar).

I asked my ride to leave me here on my way from Milan to Brescia since I didn't want to enter Bergamo. I was surprised to see that many cars were passing through this gas station even on a Sunday night.Eventually got picked up all the way to Brescia relatively quickly.
P.S. On this Autogrill I came upon a couple of foreign backpackers that were headed to Venezia. They were standing with a sign on the entrance to the gas station, which didn't bring them much success since I found actually asking the drivers in simple Italian way more profitable.

Main thing to remember: In Italy the highways are fenced, so you have to find your way inside. We got here from nearby bridge because there're ways to get inside―Anonymous

Lots of traffic but not many wanting to drive me to Venice. Went to the exit and waited there instead of asking. Got a quick ride to Brescia. A working said it was a hard spot but I didn’t find it to bad―MrZachyPants
