“Waited there for some hours. Nobody stopped to pick me up. Had a sign saying A1 --> Linz, Wien. Spot should theoretically be alright as there is enough place for cars to stop. I ended up taking the train to Vienna.”

“waited for about one and a half hours before giving up - in theory the spot is good tho, good space to pull over”
