Marghera ovest
Great spot if you want to get to Venice or in direction of Slovakia/Austria. Likewise for Milan, Trident.Incredibly bad spot if you want to get to Bologna and further - we had to spend the night. In terms of sleeping: I recommend going through a gate and turning left, there’s some bush - we set up a tent and spent a night there without any problem, and we used the toilet at the gas station during the morning. Station’s staff was nice and they didn’t cause any problem.
But if you’re going to Bologna etc, I recommend catching any hike in direction of Milano / Padua and getting into the next autogrill (gas station) between Venice and Padua - Ristop |Arino Ovest. Amazing spot to catch a long ride and it’s not that far!

The gaz station is reachable from behind. There is a fence but you can easily pass it because its broken in some point. We stood in the exit of the station and tried to catch cars from the roundabout and the station. Its difficult because there is a lot of traffic, cars go fast and most drivers ignored us. Friendly Truck driver stopped in the roundabout itself and took us to Padova.

One of the most horrible places on earth to hitchike, was stuck here several times while trying to get aout of Venice . Trafic is fast, chaotic, local and long distance but just fucking messy. If you want to head in the direction of milano while leaving Venice the best way is to take any train in the direction of Milano and get of ar Dolo, then walk to reach the gass station.

i took a lift until a petrol station that located next to Brescia. I was trying to go to France. This spot is fairly good for leaving Venice towards south.

Got a short ride to next gas station in less than 15 minutes. This Gas Station is locally known as "Rotonda Agip"

Got a ride all the way to Rome! Maybe it was lucky...most the traffic really is local.

Mostly local traffic, just try to get a ride toward Padova, there is a great autogrill on the A4 just a few kilometers in that direction.

you can hitch from this petrol station in western direction to PADOVA, and VICENZA also furtheron to MILANO on autobahn (motorway) 'A4'. there is mostly commuter traffic but people are friendly and someone will be able to take you on the next petrol station & rest area on A4 (around 15 kilometers west of MESTRE) when the newly built autobahn-bypass has joined again with the local 'A57' highway. this station here receives an 8 on my 1 to 10 scale (1 = very bad to hitch from, 10 = best place ever) as it5 is safe, many cars stop and people are friendly. again, ask drivers to take you on A4 to the next bigger petrol station, everyone understands english.
