  Lots of trucks, easily accessible from town, on ur way there u can get water at the graveyard near. Think is a good option since west ramp of the town did not go well and east ramp seems to be under construction. nice forest to camp around 2 km to the north of the highway

  medium spot, a lot of men with fancy suit, having bullshit jobs. We were 2 males, one asking around and the other one standing with a sign "WIntherhur" to get to a station pass zurich. Eventually got a ride from a brave french driver, straight to the austrian border.

  Do NOT stop there hoping for a ride to Lyon, the highway splits at the same level so traffic goes elsewhere. If stranded there, a sign saying "Vénissieux" or "Villeurbane" would help. Someone took me to a bus stop there and I could reach Lyon eventually but it was a mistake to stop there, almost no traffic.
  If you are coming from Chambéry and your driver doesn't go inside Lyon, stopping at "Relais l'Isle d'Abeau Nord" 20km before is best.

  Towards Bordeaux. 
  With sign. Waited just before the maut/tax station.

  Bad spot. Traffic here is fast and drivers have just few secons between a momement when they emerges from the road turn and a moment when a side lane turning markup is ending

  Here are two options: (1) asking for gas station clents for pucking you up, (2) use a buss stop next to the station and try your luck in another spot (transport tickets a zonal by which you can reach out of the city and filter out the local traffic)

  A local dropped me off here because he thought a lot of people would go shopping and then go back onto the highway from there. in the end, I waited for more than 180 minutes only to find somebody who only wanted to do some skiing nearby. Luckily he had offered to bring me back to Lulea if I wouldn't find anybody on the off-ramp, so I ended up taking a train to my destination.

  In the middle of summer it was pretty difficult to get a ride to the Slovenia. Cars were full or were driving to the direction to Croatia. Only few people spoke english and it was big problem to speak with them as we didn't know how to speak Italian.

  The way to this big petrol station in direction Santander: Go to the bus stop Los heros, from there cross the bridge, turn right and walk aprox 300m until you reach the high waltage mast on your right side (it's visible on the map). Turn right to it thru the grass, on your left is a fence - if you follow the fence - there is trodden path through the bushes - you will reach the petrol station over the exit to the highway easily in 3 minutes (with a bit of scratch legs - but we are not sissies right:D). This is the fastest way. Then took me 30min to catch a car but its about luck. It's most convenient spot to hh out of Bilbao.

  Perfect place for the south up to Marseille.
  i use often this spot to go directly to Marseille. When going to Marseille I use a different method than usual : I writte a sign with Marseille and go only with drivers going up to there. From my experience a lot of cars are directly going to Marseille and finding one might take a little longer than taking the first car but ensure you to go directly there and not to get stuck on a random highway intersection on the way. It works always good for me like that
  good luck

  Instead of going as far as other reviewers suggest you can just come by here, it has some entryroad on right to some parking that nobody uses and you can just stand before that to signal cars to turn over there, it's wide enough for them to stop, wait time of 5-15 minutes expected for the least Zabludow, but quite some cars go to Bielsk Podlaski all the way also

There's a huge queue of trucks there, don't use sign there, because just near the Montenegro border there will be another huge line of trucks. Use this place to just hitchhike a ride through 3km buffer zone with your thumb and cross next border by walk.

  We tried to hitchhike to Istanbul. Overall, the location seemed quite good, but we had significant difficulties – few drivers were heading to Istanbul; most were heading towards Burgas, and the Turks heading to Istanbul were reluctant to pick up additional passengers. Eventually, we managed to hitchhike to a gas station outside Plovdiv.

  I had luck with an exceptionally nice man who took me to a great CESPA gas station located on the c16 which has traffic that goes to Andorra.

  If you’re headed to Andorra and found a hitch to Manresa you’d better ask the driver to stop in the gas station I described - area de servicio monserat.
  There’s usually multiple cars a day going straight to Andorra. (Especially after 9-10)

  very bad spot, the highway sign is placed so that all the good spots for hitchhiking are blocked off and you will be risking a fine if you pass it, also be careful, it turns out there are 2 signs marking the start of the highway, where one of them is just for show i guess cuz we got police kicking us out behind the first one, which we didnt notice at first. If you are heading towards Firenze it should be okay since we got like 5 cars stopping, but noone is heading towards Bologna. If u end up  here going towards Bologna, I recommend making a sign and standing at the road marked by the map, where most cars pass through and try finding a place with the most space at this road, its not ideal, but its better than nothing.

  There is a lot traffic passing through here, as well as some songthaewa to Ao Luek and some other longer distance buses you can stop. There were a few other people waiting here, so I think it may be a bus stop and that makes it confusing to hitchhike from here.

People are very willing to pick you up and there are many tourists around (summer time) Just make sure to not get lost at night here, it gets cold! We stayed here for two days (2 people), thumbing all the time.

  The spot's pretty out of Tabanan, and I ended up walking all the way here. I don't know, hitchhiking in the centre of Tabanan just felt kinda off. This spot was perfect tho—I hitched a truck real quick heading west outta town. Loads of motorcycle traffic doesn't help, but try flagging down trucks specifically. Used a sign that said 'Numpang Gratis', aka Free Lift.

  I was hitchiking in Soul Lahad and locals advices me to take a taxi to this spot (6 TND). There was a hotchiling queue with other 4 people. All of them were militaries so I think cars felt obliged to stop ahaha. 3 people went in the first car and I went in the following car with another guy.

  This place is in the middle of the desert with no way to get shadow from the sun, so a hat, sunscreen and a lot of water is highly advised.

  This was on a Monday in September.

  An extremely busy Autogrill! So many German cars going both North and South. For some reason though quite difficult to get to Bologna from here and close to IMPOSSIBLE to go East towards Rimini.
  You can ask people directly where they're going or stand with a sign at the exit of the gas station (less effective).
  According to my calculations the peak traffic was reached at 1 pm with an average of 60 cars passing in the Southern direction and 40 in the Northern (yes I spent the whole day here, it was this comfy + nice view).

  The grocery shops on both sides of the road are so busy you can easily get away with taking any food/drinks and going upstairs with it to the restaurant (Didn't want to risk too much and only got 1 pack of chocolates 4 euro worth). 
  Tablediving is indeed extraordinary here! Mostly due to presence of many wasteful Americans XD
  Can't vote for the free showers though, doubt it's still a thing.

  Not sure if you can camp nearby this place but there are some pretty thick trees at the boot of the hill (some fences have to be jumped over to get there).

  Good spot by the poll station to get a ride to Sofia/Bulgaria. There were a few policemen doing controls but they weren’t interested in us and didn’t stop us. You can even reach this spot by foot (that’s what we did) from Dimitrovgrad by hitchhiking to a spot on the local road nearby and then there’s a path to the toll station. (check out the map) 
  There was a fence around the station but it had big holes you could claim through and toll station employees and police didn’t mind.

  Towards LV, Daugavpils, the border is amazing. Due to the current events most of the lorries are headed on A13 to one of the Russian border points, which means that every lorry gets inspected by the border guards. Due to that all the normal cars that do use this crossing drive super slow, get stuck behind manouvering lorries etc, therefore they have super good visibility on you when u stand on the border, wait times of 5-20 minutes expected, most likely first personal car with any space will give you a lift to Daugavpils the least

  You can catch a truck to Vang Vieng but don't do it in rainy season. The roads are often blocked by landslides. It took us 2 days instead if 4 hours. Try to catch on the other road to Kasi, cars choose this road as there are no trucks.

  Although the station seems underwhelming it worked for us. Not much luck with Austrians, it seems like they aren't very hitchhiking friendly.

  Carpinteria seems like a spot filled with good people.
  Stopped at a donut shop for breakfast, they offered me my order and someone gave me $10.

  Weird place to hitch at first, but actually the shoulder is big enough and drivers see you early enough and drive slow due to road shape.

  Got a ride from Luis on his way to visit his family. Sweet Mexican man, he gave me $10 at the end of the ride.

  You can stop at the Seal Sanctuary viewpoint for a quick break.

  I only waited 5 minutes by standing near the toll station where the cars slow down. It took me just 5 minutes to find a ride to Melaka.

  If hitchhiking there feels too risky, you could try walking along the bike path on the left to reach the gas station behind the toll.

  You dont have to pay anything if youre just a passager here, so you dont need to get out of the car before Nordkapp. I did so and only later found out that i couldve gone with the French caravan all the way to Nordkapp. When you want to hitch out, cars go very slow, a lot of space to stop, good spot.

  The road between Ilmatsalu and Rõhu gets very little traffic, and most of it is agricultural lorries or gasoline trucks, which do not really pick you up. So your only bet is trying to catch some smaller cars, which there are very little of, it's one of these roads where u can hitch anywhere along the road no matter which direction you are headed, usually you'll end up walking quite some distance (hence why the marker's here) before someone stops, wait times of 40-80 minutes expected

  Don’t trust the few dots in Taiwan, this country is super hitchhikeable!

  Honestly very good spot, and I think on this road it would be pretty much good anywhere. Stand on the piece of grass between the fast lanes and the side lane. That will make you seen from far away and you’ll be safe too. In the best case, try to have a truck of some sort of works on the lane next to where you stand, that way cars driving on that lane will be driving slower 😎

  Despite the fact, that is seems to be a pretty good place to cross the border, there is no traffic on this road. We got a ride to a border (1 km, two guys), but the police on the border did not allow us, since we were on foot and not in the car. So they sent us away, with the premission to walk on the highway. 
  After 30 minutes we got a ride to Brod, where we were able to cross the border.

  The spot is great. Both sides of the highway are connected together, so you can change the direction just by walking over the highway. 
  Easy to go from here to Milano. My destination was Abbiategrasso and I also got direct ride to this place from here.

  Easy spot to go towards cassis or la Ciotat, good visibility from the roundabout and a place to stop. From cassis to la Ciotat, I recommend the road along the cliffs, it is spectacular. Either search a new car in cassis, which should not be too difficult or ask your driver to take the little detour. Our driver agreed and showed us a bit around, probably just a lucky experience.

  Great spot for going West. Two other hitchhikers and I was all picked up by the same guy. 
  Sign said "Clermont-Ferrant". I stood at the parking after the toll. Maybe better to stand directly at the toll on the platform between the lanes. Seems scary but it's okay. Cars slow down and see you big smile more clearly. :)

  In my experience, the best spot for hitchhiking south (Hamburg) and also better than at Aral in Husumer Straße. Here is the direct highway access via the B200. The nearest bus stop is called “Friedenshügel”. Drivers coming from the direction of McDonalds and wanting to get onto the highway often stop here for 2-3 minutes at a traffic light. There are also three supermarkets (Aldi, Rewe, Lidl) in the immediate vicinity of McDonalds. Aral is also on a highway ramp, but in my experience you are hardly noticed by passing cars. The filling station is not only frequented by highway drivers, but also by those staying in the city or driving into the surrounding countryside.

  I thought this spot would be terrible to find a hitchhike; when I was hiking towards the car road I saw only one car per 5 to 10 minutes, but when I arrived at the road I got a ride from the second car that drove past! I might have been lucky, and would not recommended this spot in terms of weather; there is no shadow or shelter. However, sometimes on smaller roads cars are more willing to take you.

  This is a great spot. Everyone going on the highway and lots of place to see you and stop. Also feels safe because you can stand on a platform separated from the road. Saw some comments about police stopping hitchhikers, but several police passed me and just smiled and waved. Try this place to get out of Liege if you can. If going to paris ”E42” on a sign is great, so you can get to a gas station on the highway.

Got cash kick downs, but no ride offers. Another hitcher was flying at the i80 east on-ramp and was there as long as I was with no luck. In the future I'd just forgo this spot entirely.

  Towards Lihula, Pärnu. During the ferry times (when cars come off from the Hiiumaa ferry), you can try to catch cars going to Pärnu direction on this road, as they all take the Valgevälja road to skip Haapsalu, during that time it is perfect, you can stand anywhere on the road, but outside of that the road has no real usage so quite useless outside of the "golden rush". Wait times of 5-minutes when ferry cars come, otherwise I'd recommend walking to the bus stop a bit further

I got picked up after 1h and half, and the bro left me in a random gas station right before the airport where none of the cars were going north. So I managed to comeback to Paris and get a BlablaBus to Brussels. If you are in the countryside, try to hitchhike. If you are in Paris center, going to north, just trust me and pay for a cheap bus.

  Unu el la plej nekutimaj veturoj de mia vivo, en la fruaj horoj de la mateno en Toyohashi, amikiĝante kun homoj revenantaj hejmen post sabatnoktaj festoj, Mushky kaj mi, la poneo Daniela, spontanee ricevis veturon de la frato de unu el la amikoj, kiujn ni faris dum malnoktaj konversacioj antaŭ la vendejo Lawson. Mi ankaŭ renkontis plurajn brazilanojn. La veturo origine celis nur trovi liberan lokon por dormi, sed ĝi fariĝis veturo al "S.A." ekster la urbo meze de la nokto. Dankon Ko Nita.

  I suspect most people enter the highway at exits further west.

  It's not great, but it was the best place for me to stop from other ride. Also I took a break and visited a beach just below this parking and it was quite nice. To get more cars I was standing on the exit ramp from main road to parking, it is illegal in this road, but whatever, it worked. Cars are going really fast downhill, but it's manageable. I think in summer season the best way would be to just ask people who stopped on a break, it looks like quite popular viewpoint.

  This spot is pretty fast. But the visibility is ok, and there is room to pull off the road.

  There is a trail system that runs along the highway, follow it until you find the maintenance access. Dont jump or vandalize the fence. There is a gate, jump it or you can wade through the bramble... and you'll be on the highway. Hitching is fairly common in this area so you shouldn't have to wait too long.

  Not a good spot at all. I wanted to go to Paignton via Newton Abbot, since this is the closest stop of the Falcon bus from Bristol Airport. There is very little pavement in any direction, absolutely nowhere for cars to pull over, the curve of the road leaves little visibility when cars are moving slow enough and once they exit the roundabout they accelerate too fast to consider stopping further down the road where there is better visibility. I quickly went back to the bus stop on the roundabout itself since that is the only place cars can stop safely and there is a traffic light just beyond so they have time to consider you. The bus stop is rather limited for cars going in the direction you want: nothing to or from Newton Abbot, cars going to Plymouth from Newton Abbot or Bovey Tracey, or cars going to Bovey Tracey from Exeter. I used the stop to get me out of there ASAP, and was very lucky one of the first cars to pass offered me a lift first to Totnes and then all the way to Paignton.

  spent the night in my tent behind the station in a little patch of trees, very quite. loads of trucks and cars, i took me a bit to get a ride until the next gas station on A9
  i was hitchhiking at the entrance of the highway since there were not many cars stopping for petrol, mostly for food/toilets (at least at this time)
  a police car drove pass me and said nothing (its always my biggest fear)
  station is good. expensive, but there are toilets for truck drivers that are free and they have drinking water, so dont get fooled by the shops

A guy solo with just one place.  This day I hitchiked with a French girl going from Marseilles to Toulouse. We had to separate since the guy had just one place. If you read this message, I hope you got a lift and could manage to reach Toulouse on time ;)

  I stood at the bottom of the first hill, going north. Not the best spot in the world since the cars are going fast around the corner and  don't have much time to stop. If your on this stretch make sure you start early so you can catch people heading to work. Bring lots of water and sun protection. June 2025.

  Gas station on the highway, hitched here two times, both times in the morning. Most of the people are going to Trondheim, sometimes there are tourists going more south. Both times got a lift to Klett (intersection with E39) and hitched south from there. Very friendly staff even suggested a trucker to take me along, and so he did towards Klett.

   We stood there realy long time, with a sign to Madrid, then without a sign and then we started to ask people on the gas station. First person was a Czech guy (we are also from Czechia), he told us that he is going to Madrid, but unfortunately he does not take hitchhikers. After that we asked another guy and he took us to Madrid and in Madrid he bought us train tickets to Salamanca, so we were realy lucky. But it is a terrible spot. Boy and girl, afternoon, weekday

  Traffik very low due to day after Midsommar, roughly one car every two minutes. Was plenty of space to stop, but most (interesting) traffik went north. Don't think it's worthwhile, because even on busy days, this place might become too dangerously crowded. Also, sadly there ain't a point where just Stockholm traffik passes, so many cars aren't even in your interest anyways.

  Was impossible for me to hitch a ride in the city of Alta (bus stops) or then at the Museum bus stop. So i decided to walk here. After 3 hours of waiting one car finaly stopped and took me all the way to Bjerkvik. Good spot overwise, plenty of space to stop. Near the Museum its a bit confusing because there is a turn to a museum and then the bus stop is made so a bus can turn around, so its quite tricky stopping there.

Although this, the place kinda sucks. Just a lot of internal traffic close to a mall. We waited for a long time till someone told us that it wasn’t a great idea to hitchhike there and brought us back to the city. We waited both with the thumb and with a sign.

  Never hitchhiked before but picked this spot at the autobahn on ramp trying to head to Berlin,
   took us (two 20 year old guys, one who is German one not) 10-20 minutes to get a ride to Brandenburg very close to Berlin. The shoulder of the road has a decent place for cars to stop once you climb the stairs to the top of the loop. Only complaint is no shade and maybe you don't want to stand on the shoulder like this.

  One minute wait time, ride straight to opotiki, good pull over spot, slowish traffic. Bus here from tauranga was 3.4nzd.

  I had wanted to hitch from Tauranga, however the all the Eastbound spots seemed crap due to the big road. Happily the road is a toll road, and a lot of long distance traffic goes through te puke as it is free, which is a smaller, more hitchable road.

  Got a bus here from tauranga, costing 3.4nzd with student discount (didn't ask for I'd, paid in cash, bus leaves from bayfair, which had another potential spot, or central taurange).

  Sign for whakatane, Driver super kind. Welcome to NZ!

  Lacks sun-shelter. There is quite enough space to stop a car but even though it is an entrance to the highway. Unfortunately, a lot of locals pass by and don’t even stop if they go just a few KM north. Take a safe path to the Petrol station on the highway. It should take around 12 min on foot.

  Not a review for a specific spot, but rather for the island of Zakynthos as a whole--easiest place to hitchhike I've ever been. We hitched all over the island for 4 days and never had to wait more than 5 minutes. Just start walking in the direction of your destination and when a car comes by, smile and put out your thumb, usually the first car would stop, especially on the small roads between villages. Don't wait at a spot, just start walking, as cars will stop anywhere, even on narrow curves. Good to know some Greek.

  Very bad spot, dropped here at the "aire de covoiturage" by a car, we wanted to go to Paris, but didn't got any ride (we had to walk to the next village asking cars to drop us somewhere else)
  All the cars that we saw were exiting the highway, or going to the villages around.
  We should've ask the previous car to drop us at the highway gas station "Limoges Est" (aire d'autoroute/station service).

  Très mauvais spot, on a été déposées à l'aire de covoiturage par une voiture, pendant qu'on allait vers Paris (on a dû marcher jusqu'à Razès en demandant à des voitures de nous déposer ailleurs)
  Toutes les voitures qui passent ici soit sortent de l'autoroute donc n'y rerentrent pas, soit vont d'un village à l'autre.
  On aurait dû demander à la voiture précédente de nous laisser à l'aire d'autoroute Limoges Est.

  Good place. If people want to drop you in Voiron, it's better to stay here I think. In Voiron it is more complicated. Here, lot of cars and place to stop. Specially if you start early on the day, people go far.

  Arrived here with one friend at 8pm trying to get a ride to Zaragoza. There are a lot of truck drivers but almost all of them stay here for a while to sleep and visit the local strip club. This gas station shuts at 10pm so barely any traffic after that hour. Eventually had to spend a night sleeping in an abandoned house behind the station because the hostel was booked out. Luckily, next morning got a ride from a truck driver almost directly into Zaragoza. There are also people going to Barcelona and Madrid from here. You need to be friendly, pro-active and ask around. Otherwise you can be stuck here for a while.

  As previously noted, not amazing but probably the best spot to go south. We asked around at the gas station for a little while with little success.

  Wonderful view, calm border with almost only trucks. Came from Kars, got a truck ride in Çildir, walked to the gas station where the tir parking guys do speak Turkish + Georgian so they can help you. Only 3 cars in a hour so better to ask truck drivers! Got a ride by a tractor carrying hay they took me to collect more hay uphill and showed me the first village, while a fourth car of dutch tourists filmed us from behind.

  REMINDER * if you go to Tbilisi, trucks drive the Akhaltsikhe-Borjomi-Kashuri way as the Tsalka route is not allowed to them. So you can first go to Ninontsminda and then hitch to Tbilisi or Armenia.

  Btw the view is priceless and makes you wanna stay for hours

  Ok spot to go to PARIS or RENNES
  This spot is quite special because people who take the toll can go east or west, there is a carpool area next to it to ask directly if you are in trouble.
  If you're going to Paris, it's best to persuade someone who opens their window at the toll to drop you off at the Aire de La Sarthe-Sargé Le Mans (10min motorway).

  You should NOT hitchhike here. First there is always heavy traffic on this road and the cars have very little space to stop so it is dangerous.

  Second: car at this spot goes to very different directions. Some will take the highway, some will go to north some to east.

  It is an extremely inpractial spot. You should go couple hundred meters to east either to the highway intersection (if you'll go towards Budapest or Debrecen) or to over the big roundabout under the bridge.

  Honestly I have no idea why people would use this spot.

  i think i just got unlucky - i was stuck here for almost 2 hours when in theory it should be a perfect spot. eventually i was saved and hitched a car to Norway. i reccomend a sign, because after a few kms the road splits in two.

  Towards Kernu, one of these roads with no point in staying in particular spot due to how little cars use this road, loads of truckers headed to the nearby quarry who can't stop. So your only shot is to catch some locals, which can be quite hard depending on the time of the day, wait times of 20-80 minutes expected

  not a great spot to be dropped if you can avoid it. on a weekday in july there was mostly cars going to graz and south west austria. a few polish drivers going to croatia for holidays, as well as trucks staying the night. we hoped for a ride to slovenia but settled for a lift to klagenfurt where its easy to hitch to ljubljana.

  I really don't understand how this works... I was thumbing around different parking lots, asking different people, all unsuccessful. In the end I was asked to move and they told me I can only be around the ticket office. Most of the people already have tickets so they do not come by the office, but if they do come to buy the tickets - this is your time to ask if you could jump on (extra passengers do not cost extra, you pay per vehicle, but you do need to be signed on to be in the vehicle when you buy the tickets orsth). I waited for a long time until someone agreed to get me on their minibuss only to later ask me 50£! I told him I am not paying this since he never mentioned this and also I do not cause him any extra money or inconvenience, he got really crossed with me and in the end I had to pay the money - so be wary! Make sure they understand you will not pay for this little 'escort' service to the ferry!
  Unsuccessful for me, but definately doable. The ticket office is also open 24/7 so you can camp there when it has been an unsuccessful evening catching a ride.

  The door was not open, but you can follow the wall/fence until it ends, climb down a small hill towards the autoroute and then jump the (second, smaller) fence. Sounds more complicated than it ended up being, the fence is even a little bent down and there's trees to help. Lots of local cars but I still found people going through Lille to Mons within 15 minutes. Would definitely recommend this spot to get out of Paris to the North.

  This is not the actual location of the border posts - the Chilean control is several kilometers west, and the Argentine one is about 15km east. I didn't actually hitchhike here (my ride from Rio Grande took me all the way through), but the border officials on both sides have no problem with you telling them you're hitchhiking. As of 2025 there's theoretically a hotel near each border post, in case you get stranded and have money.

  Viajando pro norte de Portugal pela primeiríssima vez, Já vinha do sul e percebi que Portugal é bem melhor que Espanha. Preferi não perguntar muito no posto por ser brasileiro e saber que algumas pessoas têm preconceito e não tenho tempo e energia pra drama. Li bastante aqui os comentários de geral e decidi por este ponto. Funcionou bem. Parou um motorhome com 4 malucos indo prum festival eletrônico em Torres. Me deram frutas gostosas e fizemos muitas piadas, foi top, paizão. E claro, peguei a manha de não aceitar carona pros lugares ruins, Ou, a dizer, boleia.

  This is not a good spot unfortunately. We tried to get a ride south to Interlaken around 16:00 and nobody picked us up despite lots of traffic. There are grocery stores nearby and a place to pull over but nobody stopped anyways. Eventually it was too late to do what we wanted to do in Interlaken so we called it quits.

  A very good spot. I wasn't standing at the exit of petro station, but by the road joining the highway (close to the bridge). There was enough shoulder for cars to stop. If you moved passed the bridge, maybe the cars from the main highway could stop for you. I didn't do it, coz were I was standing it was illegal enough.
  Cars go slowly and you'd be visible nicely.
  In 15 minutes 3 cars stopped for me. The first two were going very short distances without good spots, so I thanked them. And I jumped into the 3rd one which was going far enough.

  S tier gas station you can shower for free. Other than that expensive but you can charge your things free drinking water in the bathroom. 

  We got lucky and found a Czech guy going our way (we are also czech) so he took us but if he didn’t it would prolly take a bit longer CZU it was later as well. 

  We were tryna get to Venice but not many ppl were going there surprisingly.

  good spot towards the entrance to the highway, but be careful cars are mostly heading towards Firenze and its hard to stop at the entrance, so if ur heading towards Bologna id rather take the non-highway route and go city by city.

  If you find yourself in Franciacorta outlet this is gonna be one of the few stops to get out. From here it's easier to catch a ride to Brescia although still possibile to go to Iseo. Some people on the roundabout aren't taking the exit so no point in trying to signal them. There's a conad, a gym and a gas station nearby so it's possible to go asking around if someone's headed where you're going. Easier to get out with a sign.

  We (2 people) were there on a Sunday, so everything was closed and we only found a ride that didn't go that far. We did find that pretty quick though and I imagine it's a pretty good spot on business days.

  Good bus stop, direction Haapsalu, since besides Padise there's not many places left on the road, you'll have lots of longer distance traffic, (well not lots of, it's smaller road) but you'll pick up a ride rather fast, 10 minutes, also convenient store nearby

  At the gas station we met 2 pairs of hitchhikers, so there were 6 hitchhikers in total. We stopped a guy in less than 5 minutes. My friends was still finishing his sign 😂. We put Balaton as our final destination, the guy could only take us halfway. Good spot, almost all the cars end up on the highway.

I didn't do much sightseeing/detours etc. Some locals and some European overlanders. After Murghab plenty of trucks from China driving to Dushanbe but they drive ~20km/h because how bad the roads are. Don't expect to make much progress in a day. Plenty of guesthouses even in small villages, iOverlander offline map is handy for that^^

  Went to this on ramp late, hitching south, but still bright out. There is a TA and airport right next to it but not as much traffic as you'd expect. Plenty of room to pull over and time to see you, but I was at that spot for almost 2 hours and didn't have anyone stop. Tried again the next morning for an hour but experienced even less traffic. You'll have better luck flying directly at the TA's. The cops won't mess with you here though, had multiple drive past without saying anything, and one even ask where I was headed (presumable to give me a ride).

  Just outside the terminal, next to the parking lot. The cars were still disembarking when I walked out. They come one by one, well spaced apart. Plenty of space for them to stop aswell. 

  Probable even better to ask people onboard the night before, if that's your style.

  Lots of trucks & cars pass by this spot, heading to the ferry or up to the island's north shore. Easy catch, shouldn't take long at all. No shade here, so do yourself a favour and go early. I used a sign that said 'Numpang Gratis', aka Free Lift. Worked like a charm.

  if you’re going towards montana/vidin, this seems to be by far the best spot for hitchhiking in the area (got dropped off there by an experienced fellow hitchhiker) and eventually got a my first longer lift of the day. there’s also a restaurant and a shelter and forest surrounding and you could comfortably spend the night there.

  My heart wasn't really in this one. It was late enough to know I wasn't going to reach Andorra by nightfall, but I thought I'd give it a quick go before heading into the little restaurant for dinner, and setting up camp for the night.

  The spot is a big straight road with excellent visibility, featuring a big, long gravel car park that goes straight up to the road with no barriers, so it's incredibly easy to pull over.

  I set a fifteen-minute timer, that's all I wanted to wait. Lo and behold, as soon as my timer rang, a car pulled over. I was picked up by Martina, an older lady who was apparently a DJ back in the 90s, and now organises country music camper van meetups in the Pyrenees!
  She took me to La Seu D'Urgell; in retrospect, I shouldn't have taken this ride. I should have camped, as the only accommodation still open in town by the time we got there was way over what I was hoping to pay, for a truly awful, filthy room.
  Oh, well… you live and learn.

  I was told this was the best spot to try and get out of the town. Sounded kind of dumb and might have been. The trucks do not go through the down, but rather down and along a backroad and rejoin towards Kerinci (sus my later points) which is probably why I was dropped here. It might be smarter (if possible) to get to the east side of the city and hope for a car or ute to take you to Kerinci, then try and get a car from there. I found most people were just confused and wanted to take me to the bus station. Ended up getting moved down the road by a bike

  Arriving from Budapest, we got dropped off by a truck just before the border. The border police was not amused about our attempt to walk across the border and our following intention of hitching after the controls to get to Timisoara. They told us to ask the Flixbus that was parked there, and the Flixbus picked us up and took us to Timisoara. I think the border police would also have been okay for us to ask the cars queuing for the passport check. So it's a dodgy spot, but for us it turned out well.

  Generally a good spot. Enough space to stop. No buildings. Busy but slow traffic.  But somehow didn't work very well. I waited almost one hour.  One guy stopped saying he was going only a few kilometrs. But I decided to escape that spot and hopped on.
  This day in general wasn't fast. After Santa Cruz it went wery slowly. I did less than 200 km in the whole day. In the end it got dark and I had to take a bus to my final destination.

  Lots of traffic due to a 2cv citroen car festival. It meant a lot of the traffic was local but there were also cars going further. I was picked up by a smart car. My first time in a smart car - they're bigger than you think! 

  Driver took me past where he was going and dropped me at the border crossing for Croatia.

  Not a lot of traffic and most of it is going to the glacier and then further south. Might be better to get to the glacier parking and then hitch, but you'll still find someone going straight through

  We got sent here by ASFiNAG (highway services in AT) after unsuccessfully going to hitchhike at the exit from the roundabout (which is already a highway) and after some waiting time they drove around again and gave us a wave and a thumbs up - so this spot is approved 😅👍🏼

  It is possible to stop cars going from all directions, enough space on the roadside to stand and to pull over. 

  A bit tricky if you are going to SLO/KL, because the roundabout lanes are the 2nd and 3rd.. if going direction Germany, then it's great, it's the 1st lane closest to you.

  -2 guys, sign KL, Saturday afternoon

  Fun spot, regarding the traffic lights pace, it is possible to hitchhike at the same time cars coming from East and West.

  This place worked for me both times I tried to exit Bordeaux. Not that much space to stop, but there's isn't much traffic and since it's after the roundabout cars are not that fast, and they can see you from afar and stop for you. Most likely all cars entering here will at least pass by the gas station just ahead to get further rides to Spain, so you can accept a ride at least until there

  Waited with a Patras sign and got scooped up and taken to Nafpaktos. Heaps of room but no shade in summer (if you stand in an obviously spot). Decent spot if you get made to walk across the boarder. Most cars don’t take you and will drop you off in Kakavije even if they’re going through to Greece

  Pretty good spot for hitching from a funnel by construction, could've taken the ride all the way to Sanger. Lots of Denton ppl are from Sanger. They circled back around and said they watched me for a bit but then decided I wasn't dangerous cuz I was smiling and near a college

  Most viable spot to hitchhike from Burgau, as traffic can be very little from the village itself. Enough space in both directions to stop cars and it also has a bus in case nobody stops for you.

  Lepiej stanąć koło cmentarza przy pasie do skrętu w prawo na stację, wtedy łatwiej kierowc y będą widzieć i będą moi zjechać na symtację

  Bus stop - sign probably necessary. Possibility for the cars to stop without problems. I got a ride out to the first service station heading north fairly quick in January 2023. The motorway ahead goes both way so probably possible to get south as well.

  We were walking this road because we had previously tried to catch a hitchhiking from the airport (it is very difficult to do it - no one wants to stop) so we wanted to walk to the entrance to the A4 road near the city of Fischamend when suddenly a lady stopped near us and asked if we were going towards Budapest and if we wanted to go with her because she was going to Gyor. He must see the box with the inscription "Budapest" that we had attached to the backpack. In general, it seems to us that when entering the A4 road, catching a hitchhiking should go smoothly - we were just very lucky

  Good spot with a good flow of cars. Not much stop at the gas station, but the place offers all kind of amenities for the wait.

  After only a few minutes, almost got a ride to Bozeman, MT, but the couple changed their mind.

  Finally, a young guy who moved recently in MT from CA picked me up and give me a ride in a mix of music and thoughts over life and religion.

  Probably the best stop for heading towards Brno from Vienna on Hitchwiki. A lot of cars just going to the G3, and a lot of the cars that stopped are just going local, not much further up the road, but it's a good spot, plenty of visibility, good stopping land, petrol station for convenience.

  They changed the bording rules. So people who booked early now have a time slot. So you can talk to them while the wait. A polish guy said he will get me on the ferry but he has to wait two hours before he can enter. I tried two hours to get a direct ride to Copenhagen but failed. So I crossed with him. Would have gotten another opportunity with a guy who had to wait but this would have been even later

  On-ramp that works okay enough, was little traffic at 10 am on a Wednesday, which probably was a benefit. There is a breakdown lane where the cars can stop, and it's decent enough for being an onramp.  Got a car to Königsforst Raststätte after fifteen minutes. 

  Definitely better than having to climb the pointy fence at the gas station.

  Waited 20 minutes, bit of an awkward spot to stop. 50% of traffic is trucks (and they definitely can't stop).

  I tried to get a lift to Ljubljana which was very difficult. Most of ths cars and trucks are going to Croatia or Maribor. If you can find someone who goes to Croatia, go to the next gas station 8kms on the South. There is a mcdonalds there, more cars and higher chance to find someone to Ljubljana.
