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.

We waited an hour and a half, at first out of view of the Tamoil gas station employees, but then it turned out they were cool with us asking for rides from there. multiple people offered to pick us up, but mostly not going far (to San Giuliano Milanese) or the wrong way (Bergamo).

We were little lucky that one truck took us straight to Milano. This is a good spot even for trucks to stop.

Direction Venezia - Brescia
Don't loose your time to go there from the center of Milano. It's dangerous, drivers go fast, and you will wait hours.

if you want to go south get a sign with A1 or "Autostrade del sole" on it

an ESSO petrol station right on autobahn (autostrada, motorway) A4 BRESCIA-MILANO- TORINO. you can reach the station through the commercial area (north of the station) in walking a circle (westward) around some of the manufacturing halls, there is a swing door that connects the station's platform with the surrounding roads (street: "via aquileia") of the quarter. ATM-tram number 31 takes you from the city center to the corner "via monfalcone/via massimo gorki" from where you can walk to the station in 5 to 7 minutes. i have not hitchhiked from there but will do so next week (on a MILANO-TORINO trip), the spot seems to be excellent because of its safe surrounding, many cars passing by also easy accesibility. there is also a restaurant and a snack shop.

This place was awful to me. The gas station guy is EXTREMELY unfriendly, as he threw me out insulting me and yelling at me just cause I was politely asking drivers if they were going to the highway. I gave up after 1 hour and a half.

Station is in course of a renovation, but is open. Not very popular, many drivers are going to Milano.
Went out in a direction of Venice within an hour

We waited there for 3h and no one took us with a sign to Torino. Really bad spot in my opinion

It's very easy to reach! when you turn right at the bridge continue to walk you ll find an open door (07-2014)! but keep in mind there's a new highway that connects Milan to Brescia directly without passing to Bergamo! it's faster but this spot should still working good!

End of August at noon
Looks like a good spot, many cars going on the highway.
Not many cars at the petrol station to ask, but better than just standing there with a sign.

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

It´s a good place but the problem is that most of the cars are going to MIlano.I was there about 75 mins. I asked every single car that arrived there and then got a lift to Verona. The spot is worth trying, esy to find and if you get lucky a truck may take you far away

This is the 2nd spot described at the "East towards Verona" section of the "Milano" hitchwiki page (http://hitchwiki.org/en/Milan). The directions to get here are the following:

"An alternative and easier option is to take the metro (green line) to Cologno Nord. It doesn't really matter which exit you leave the station by, as long as you are walking north. Follow the road for about 5 or 10 minutes until you get to the beginning of the bridge over the motorway. Rather than actually crossing the bridge, you turn right, off the road, and walk along the raised grassy area beside the motorway. After 4 or 5 minutes you will have reached a gas station."

I followed them and got there with no problems whatsoever. Even though it's a small place and not too many cars or trucks stop there, I got a lift in about 30 minutes!

petrol station(esso) just before the A1 . The first person I asked took me to bologna, so maybe I was lucky but I still think that a lot of people stop there before going south. to go there you must take a bus or tram to Piazza Corvetto.

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!!
