Also bunch of people going to Berlin from there, so sign is necessary in either way.

It seemed like a wonderful place for me and my fiancee. We found a ride to North of Poland in about 15 min. Of course we had sigh "PL". There were some constructions happening (arround beginning of August 2016), but don't worry about them too much. just go at the exit next to Mcdonalds and you will be fine. Good luck :)

easy to find a ride into Berlin. harder to find a ride to Poland. When coming from Berlin it's probably better to go to the next gas station called Am Fichtenplan.

Well i choose this new spot as i already went to the parking of mac donald and speak to everyone with no luck , so basicky anyone who is going to the petrol station or mac donald can see me , just buy the grass standing with a sign , 1h30 min of wait to go to poznan , so i guess not bad !

Slow traffic, got a ride to Poznan after asking around for an hour.

We waited 30 min to get a ride to Poland, a nice polish guy dropped off near Poznan.

Most people here go straight onto the A115 into Berlin, so I recommend trying to find a short ride to at least the next gas station, were more people are continuing towards Poznan, Dresden, or Wroclaw.

Shit loads of PL traffic. Easy.

I have a very different experience than those above. Not a very busy station, but still about 30% of traffic goes towards Poland. Waited about 30 minutes on a Monday afternoon for a ride to Frankfurt (Oder) on my own, but I got a ride together with a Polish hitchhiker I met at this station.

Got lift in direction of Wroclaw easily. Then I guess could be useful to go to Dresden as well.

tried to get to poland, just got a ride to lichtenplan (next station, from where i got a ride to poland)

Dozen of lorries heading toward Poland, many of them offer us (me&girl) lift to Poland. Unfortunately that was a Sunday so lorries weren't allowed to drive that day, many cars were going to Berlin. Finally, after ca. 2h we found a van to first gas station on A30 in Świecko, Poland.

Lots of people from France, etc. go through here to Poland and Ukraine.

Do not use this place when trying to get Poland, only truck drivers (and not all) go there. It took us (2 boys) 3 hours to find 2 truckers going to Swiecko. Almost all normal cars are going to Berlin.

also managed to find a car quite fast

―Anonymous, May 2012

well when i went to Poland coming south A9, i went off here, and fund a car to next small station called fichtenplan.... so i had more luck

Once saw two guys hitching, practically dieing here after weeks of waiting: They were trying to go East - (experienced East-German hitchers, coming from Spain)
I made it to Poland with family of deaf french zionists. Not a place to go South+East!

―Liftegreven, November 2011

a very good place if you want to go to berlin. a bad place if you want to go to dresden. only the truckdrivers will take you. so if its not a problem for you start here. good luck!

Even if hiking from McDonalds can cause some problems, then the petrol station 200m farther is a very good place to hike towards Poland.

―Anonymous, June 2011

Between off-ramps 18 and 17, gas station. Good place to get into Berlin.
So after coming from the East with a Polish car, this is the place to step out (if you want to go to Berlin).

We stayed here 8hours waiting for a car to Frankfurt am Oder. It's better to get to the center of Berlin and then somehow by bus or metro go to other side of Berlin in this highway.
