“as far as I remember, there is also a petrol station where drivers fill up their cars before going on the highway - it's next to the tram stop "Oberforsthaus" (line 21).”

“Not a really good spot. Low traffic. Not many people are going further to the highway; instead, they are returning to the city. (1 M, 1 F)”

“You can stand on the elevated block right at the entrance of the gas station and thus draw the attention of four lanes of traffic right towards you. There's enough options for cars to stop (either the gas station or the lane for the access lane)”

“Got a lift very quickly to Munich. Don’t wait near the StuttgarterstraBe and near to the motorway sign instead. There’s a red light as well, for added convenience”
