Area di Servizio Bazzera Sud
Unfortunate and bad at the same time. We walked ( 2 guys) from Mestre/Venice to get a ride to Udine/Palmanova. When we arrived 1 cars was freshly robbed! Police came told us that we cant stop cars. For about 2 hours we waited till the police left. Then we tried to asked drivers on the petrol station but the staff told us that we can do it only next to the entrance ir near to the shop next to the petrol station. So we devided one took a sign and went to the exit to take cars from petrol station and one tried to ask people that went to the shop. so after 3,5 hours we got a ride to better place, however from that place most of the cars to Venice and not to Palmanova/Udine. If you can, avoid this petrol station. It had bit sketchy vibe + most of the poeple werent very nice/ lot of city locals. Altought it wasnt very good place to stop, there are plenty of truck drivers, if you going alone, try your luck!rating: 2/5, wait: 190 min 💬, ride: 33 km ↗

Asked around and got a ride from a very nice local going to Udina. He took us to the other station near Udine (Palmanova) at the highway intersecting direction Slovenia-Austria. He went and asked other italian people for 5 mins to pick us up next. Very funny guy. The gas station is filled with locals so you have to asked around and be ready to wait a bit.

Gas station on the highway. You can reach it by foot.
Second time hitching at this spot. The first time (March 2022 - 2 guys) we waited a couple of hours to find a ride. This time (October 2024 - 1 guy) it took about 20 minutes. Both times there weren't that much traffic and quite a lot of cars where stopping at the airport.

I waited like 6hours
90% we’re renting cars and were going back to the airport. People weren’t nice, very few smile. However no problem from employees.
Also all the trucks were going off the highway in the nexts exits or many to Austria but no towards Trieste.
I finally booked a BlaBlaCar to Trieste

we tried to ask buses :-D but than we asked cars and an old couple took us near udine to a big gas station, which was better for us to slovenia! The people are here mostly locals! so try to ask them and try to get a ride to other spots towards nord with more cars/trucks and without locals :-D

This gas station needs some more love! Took me 1,5hrs for a ride to Udine, not bad I guess.
Quite some foreign trucks too. Refused a ride to Treviso.

I tried to hitchhike from this petrol station towards sLOVEnia / Austria but most of the drivers that stopped here were going no longer than 10 km. This is because after they built the new highway (part of A4) a bit north from Venezia Mestre, near Martellago, just to avoid traffic congestions, now all the drivers going long range between Milan / Bologna and sLOVEnia / Austria avoid this city ring; result: this is now a dead spot. Plus, the employees at this gas station revealed very unfriendly to me while I walked around the fuel pumps to ask the drivers for rides, emphasizing that I should go away from the fuel pumps, closer to the station's exit, and stop asking the drivers threatening me that otherwise they would call the police. I tried here for about 2h without any result (with exception of the swear words from the employees - I understood them because I speak Italian and Venice is my hometown) and then I decided to go back to the town and take the train.
