Raststation Voralpenkreuz
Not a lot of traffic to Vienna.. I arrived at 8 o clock on a friday and the whole gasstation/resataurant area was almost completely deserted. I got a lucky ride after an hour of seeing maybe only 10 cars, not recommended.―Anonymous, November 2016
Hard to get to direction Salzburg. Took us 1,5h ... Most people going to Graz. Nice place and free Wifi Access :)

For the size of this place there was surprisingly little traffic. I waited about 45 minutes with someone going the opposite direction. He got his ride to Salzburg and I got mine to Vienna.

Bad experience. First used sign that said "München", then "Salzburg", then "Linz" out of desperation. Waited in total about 3h 1/2. I spent the night in the gas station, and in the morning a young worker there offered to take me to his home town nearby, where I finally bought a train ticket. I hate hitchiking in Austria.

Didn't work well for me. Not many cars, maybe a little more towards Salzburg than direction Graz.
In the end, after almost an hour, someone picked me up just to drop me off at the exit "Ried", a few minutes down the A9, spot in the middle of nowhere. Avoid!

Probably a good spot for all directions (Vienna, Graz, Passau) except towards Salzburg (or so it seemed to me). I stood in front of the restaurant and asked people directly. Hardly any cars at the gas station. Took me 1.5 hours to get away from here towards Salzburg. Bad luck or bad spot? Can't really tell...

on some (paper) maps it looks like this resting area is on A1 in direction Salzburg. You can go to Salzburg from here but most cars are going North to Passau. It's on the "wrong" highway.

was waiting and asking around half an hour until nice guy took me to Linz. I did not see so much cars at this place, but I guess I had luck.

That's a rest area with a gas station, restaurant, maybe even a hotel. The name is Voralpenkreuz. Lots of trucks, but also normal cars. Good spot to change an auto if you are going from Salzburg direction Graz. Also lots of people going North on A8, and to Linz.
