“Good spot, but the traffic is very local, so if you're trying to go to Krakow, go to Radom from here :)”
― deimo, Sun 2026-04-26 · Wiktora Narkiewicza, Warsaw
“A car to Grojec stopped almost immediately. There is a space to pull over and a decent volume of cars.”

“perfect if you need to be dropped off at the highway when driver goes to a small city. I stood with a sign "krakow" near the exit (this way all cars encounter you), got a lift on a cool tesla in 5 minutes”

“Lots of interactions with the drivers, good spot to talk to them but took a bit time to get a ride. Eventually after maybe a little over half an hour we got a ride straight to Krakow.”
