I would not really recommend this spot. it is not too busy and most people are driving short distance. i recommend asking around, we eventually got a ride to Bratislava.

A lot of traffic to Prague, Bratislava or even Budapest. And of course to Poland. It is worth to wait direct car to the border and further, than accept local commute rides.

We were stuck for hours at a previous gas station, and we successfully arrived to this station that is better. A lot of people will pass and be polite and smiling. We were super tired and we just waited sitting at the exit of the parking with a sign "Wien" in front of us, and a really nice man going to Bratislava took us and let us in the ring road of Wien. Be patient.

If you are trying to get to Bratislava on a Sunday, don’t bother. Almost no Slovak Cars, we got a ride to the airport though.

Bus stop, a lot of traffic going at rather low speeds, plenty of people headed for Bratislava (many cars with Slovak plates). A spot doesn't get much better than that!

The gas station also serves as a highway exit into the local industrial district and these cars generate most of the traffic, there aren't many cars actually going to Bratislava. That being said, this is most likely still the best place to get out of Vienna eastward.

Pretty good spot, but not so many cars on Wednesday afternoon. Was staying for an hour near the gas station, with the Budapest/Györ sign, two guys approached me, and suggested to take me to Györ for 50€!!! After an hour I decided to start approaching myself. In half an hour found a really nice truck driver who took me to Bratislava. Overall okay spot

One male 40+, with a sigh "BRATISLAVA", one big backpack, a sunny day. On my way from Brno to Budapest (successful).
It looks like a good place. The entrance to the pertol station, with loads of space (enough for 2-3 lorries). After the traffic lights, so people drive slowly, and can see you easily.
There are also downsides. It's before the big junction, and cars go everywhere, to Prage, Viena, Bratislava, Ostrava (and Poland) and also locally. So, I'd say that a sign is necessary here. The traffic is constant, so you'll not have time to rest your arm. In the morning no shade.
After 25 minutes a woman stopped, but she was going only locally (she didn't see my sigh).
After one hour I started loosing my hope a bit. I gave myself 0,5 h more before moving to another spot. 5 minuts before the deadline a man stopped and took me to Bratislava. He said that he saw my sign, so I recommend having one here.
The driver was kind enough to drop me at a petrol station south of Bratislava, where quickly I got a ride to Budapest.

It isnt so bad. I understand, that trying to get a ride to Vienna or Budapest from here might be quite a hard task. However, it was just fine for hitching out of Bratislava. We used sign Jarovce which worked great and got us to the OMV petrol station in Jarovce (on D2, southbound).

Famous koliba restaurant at the highway + McDonalds.
Wednesday lunchtime was a perfect time to hitchhike from here. A lot of traffic going towards Nitra and Bratislava.
Unfortunately most of the cars in my case were posh rich Bratislava people who were not willing to stop. 20 minute waittime. Hitchhiking on the road before the ramp.

I mean its all right. We got a ride to Bratislava after 10 minutes but I think we were very lucky, most of the traffic is austrian taxis, few cars from Slovakia but I wouldnt try getting a ride to Budapest or Hungary for that matter, almost no hungarian cars.

(M+F) It took us like 10 minutes to find a car going all the way to Bratislava. First time hitching an Aston Martin, really cool experience. Pretty good place.

Quite a funnel here from towns below to the highway. All the Bratislava and Nitra traffic turns left, and all Zvolen traffic goes straight. It should be really easy to get to Nitra and Bratislava, in that case stand after the turn. I went towards Zvolen which meant much less traffic there.

Probably lucky - I was thumbing at the traffic and first car was going to Bratislava.
