=== South ([[Kaiserslautern]], [[Saarbrücken]], [[Metz]]) [[A63 (Germany)|A63]] ===
If you want to go in the direction of [[Kaiserslautern]] (or farther south) a good place to start is the "Pariser Tor[http://hitchwiki.org/maps/?place=5091]" on the "Pariser Straße". The speed limit there is 50 km/h and the cars will have enough place to to stop.
Next servicestation in direction of Saarbrücken is "Homburg" on A6, ~20km after Kaiserslautern.
=== Direction [[Darmstadt]], [[Mannheim]], [[Heidelberg]] onto [[A60]] to [[A67]] & [[A5]] ===
You could also try to get a lift at the "Pariser Tor[http://hitchwiki.org/maps/?place=5091]" as some cars will go on the A60 from there.
'''Option 3''' towards [[Köln]]([[A3]]) try hitchhiking from Kastel, Boelckestraße out. There is a bus stop Otto-Suhr-Ring, and a big Metro-Supermarket (wich might be good for dumpster diving). Next service on A3 should be Medenbach Ost (~20km).
=== Direction [[Köln]]([[A3]]), [[Karlsruhe]]([[A5]]) ===
You can take the train to Frankfurt Airport (ticket should be around 4,50€). Next to the regional train station there are machines where drivers pay for their parking so you can ask them for a lift. Should be easy in direction Köln or Karlsruhe, but harder North along A5 or south along A3. You can read more about the airport [[Frankfurt_am_Main|here]].
== Hitchhiking in ==
Since most motorways go around Mainz you might have problems finding a driver going into the city. It might be easier to go to a nearby city like Wiesbaden, Frankfurt or Darmstadt and take the regional train from there. A train from Frankfurt should be around 5€.
If you come from A3 you can consider getting out at Frankfurt Airport for the train. From Koblenz along A60 you could get out after junction 16 at the resting area, there is a train in Heidesheim.
