Secchia Est
After table-diving a whole plate with chicken schnitzel and fries in the restaurant i got a lift in 1h20min to switzerland. I asked for a ride towards Verona to hitch via Innesbruck to Munich, but everyone was driving Milano or Switzerland direction, so after an hour or so I decided to take a ride to switzerland to continue to Munich from there. This stradegy worked fine :)―Falcor, July 2016
Been through this very gas station a couple of times, and a lot of people go north toward Austria. The police often comes around but they won't bother you at all :)

I got asked by the police to not stand on the exit of the gas station with my thumb out and to only ask people if they could give me a ride. Was fine though :)

Huge gas station on the highway. Most cars going west, Parma-Milano, but also many north, Verona-Brennero. To get there take the bus from Modena autostazione and get off in "tre olmi" (on school holiday there are few buses and it might be preferable to walk or take another bus half the way). Go left in the roundabout down "strada tre olmi". There's a hotel next to the gas station, and from its parking lot there is a kind of always open swinging gate through the fence.
