What hitchhikers said along this route

“Solid spot to reach the high way south or westwards. Quit some local traffic though. Waited 30 minutes until someone brought me q0 kilometers south to petrol station Gräfenhausen on the A5. Spot is in walking distance from frankfurt main train station (30 min).”

“Not too bad for going South out of Frankfurt. Definetly ask around at the petrol pumps as drivers are going quite fast on the road and will struggle to stop.”

“Pretty good to go south out of Frankfurt. There’s a lot of space for cars to stop right before the entrance to the gasstation. Stood there with a sign „Darmstadt“ and eventually someone took me there. Asking around the gasstation didn’t work for me here as most people stayed in Frankfurt”
