“[Did this back in September 2024] Good spot to get on the A10. I stood on the little wall next to the shop and right at the exit of the gas station. Not many cars but had 2 cars try to figure out if they could help me (dodged a quite weird guy) before a nice girl helped me get on the A10. I was there between 12-13 daytime”
