Good spot, as the other comment says. No trouble getting a ride :) The real trouble is getting here from Łódź. Sign: Konin.―Jarnohitchikes

Direction: north by the A1 highwayHitchhikers: 2, male
Time: 17:00
BEWARE!! There is a petrol station, slip road and a lot of traffic. However "služba drogowa" banned us from standing on the slip road, there are no shoulders of the road and the roundabout doesn‘t make it easier. On the petrol station are mostly locals, so they won‘t take you anywere either. No cars stopped to us, after three hours of asking around, changing spots, signs - we were so desperate to get to the highway that we even tried another direction - with no success, we set off to the nearest petrol station on the highway, which is eight kilometres by walk. We recommend trying to hitchhike a car along the way, we managed to do it.

Direction: Lodz, A1 highwayHitchhikers: 2, male
Time: 15:00
BEWARE!!! Terrible place. Looks ideal, wide shoulders of the road, a lot of traffic, however we got stuck here for hour and a half. We tried a lot of different signs, Lodz, A1 and others, however no car took us the 10 km to the A1 highway. The road actually leads to Lodz, but no cars took us there either. After a long time a young lady with a dog took us to Lodz.
I warn you all, don‘t try out this place

I first waited about 30 minutes at a nearby bus stop without success, then another 30 minutes at the highway ramp before getting a ride. Works, but not the best place. Solo M―Anonymous

(Towards Poland) On a Friday morning in august, many cars going relatively slow, great visibility and space to stop. Most cars have German plates and are going to Berlin or Leipzig, but Poland is definitely possible.―Arphile

Maybe I just got lucky, but this is a great spot towards Łódź and presumably Poznań. Cars go slowly, stop for the traffic lights, can clearly see you, and there is a good place to stop. But I would really advise having a sign, because people go in many directions.―martih

This is a perfect spot towards Warsaw, and I wanted to avoid Warsaw, so I went to Lowicz. Guy stopped here almost immediately and got me a bag full of groceries.―martih

Not much traffic, but it's steady. Plenty of space to pull over. Cars are going slow and have lots of time to see you.A guy stopped after 5 min, but was going a different way. 5 min later another guy stopped and gave me a ride to a reststop 40km from Warsaw.

Low-medium traffic. Cars go slow, lots of time to see you and lots of space to stop. Got a ride by a Ukranian family all the way to Lodz.―Bozo

Works very well if you just ask the drivers the moment they're stopping at the toll booth (if I am recalling the right place).―Koendev

Koendev - toll booths are actually a bit to the northeast from this crossing (5min by feet) :).―Wolak

It`s a good place but I recommend the toll gates, they are 1km further.―AdamAdam

well first thing a bit confusing was to get there: you just can buy ticket in tram.you need a 30-minutes ticket of lodz (you can buy everywhere in Lodz: 2,40Zloty) and 2 other zones 1,80Zloty each... you can buy at tram driver the 1,80 tickets...

Bardzo dobre miejsce - tuż za skrzyżowanie, przed zwężeniem drogi, ale z szerokim poboczem-parkingiem i zataką dla autobusów. Very good place - behind the crossroad and before the place, where road starts being narrower, with wide shoulder-parkng space and bus stop lay-by.―Gathaspare

We (pair) were catching there more then a half heure. Highway sucurity were passing us, but a few minutes later police came. Police station is 100 m from this spot and there is monitoring on highway also. It is not allowed stay there bec is a highway already. Drivers are not willing to stop.―Anonymous
