What hitchhikers said along this route

“Going towards Germany. Walk straight onto the emergency lane of the highway, about 30 meters from the on ramp. Probably forbidden (do not know) but good since the highway starts here and cars are not too fast ;)”
― Anonymous · Rozvadovská spojka, Prague

“Hitchhiked dozens of times here, mostly got cars to Pilsen, sometimes to Germany or further, sometimes shorter. Hitchhiking time varies from none (several times someone has just seen me walking and waited down there for me) to 2-3 hours. Normally 15-20 minutes. Police don't care about you there, only once they stopped and after quick evaluation of safety they let me there.”

“The best place for direction Plzen, Germany.”

“If you go to the bus stop on Bucherova just before the ramp to the highway, you have an excellent, safe way to ask for a ride. Cars can stop at the bus stop and then quickly merge into traffic and the ramp to the highway again.”
― Riddergraniet, 2012-01-06 · Rozvadovská spojka, Prague

“Cars drive fast and appear very quickly right from the curve but there is a line where they can stop for you and the traffic is very high. Good chance to stop car quickly to Plzeň, Germany.”
― GrandMarnier, 2013-02-27 · Rozvadovská spojka, Prague

“This place is not forbidden (it's not a highway). We (2 guys) hitchhiked with another unknown pair (1 guy and 1 girl), they waited 20 minutes and in another 20 minutes, we were also succesful (both with "PLZ" sign, but we got to CZ-DE borders).”

“Agree, the best place to Pilsen and Germany.”

“Excellent spot for Germany, took a tram and a bus from the city to Safrankova stop and walked the side of the ramp down to here. There's an emergency lane or something so cars will have no problems stopping.”
― VeikkaK, 2023-05-26 · Rozvadovská spojka, Prague

“Great spot to get to Regensburg during the summer”
― Terez, 2023-08-11 · Rozvadovská spojka, Prague
