  It is easy to reach this place by bus from Novi Sad and it is easy for cars to stop at this place but unfortunately nobody stopped. I had a sign of Subotica in my hand and many people pointed at me that they were going to stay in Novi Sad instead of going to the highway. So it was not a good spot. I also decided to walk along the highway to find a better spot.

  Plenty of room to stop.

  My driver came back and picked me up, because Jesus told her to do so. And because I could only be nice as I was dancing.

  Gave me a bag of dates and a few singles.

  You can’t hitchhike to Yamagata on this road. It’s the city centre and all the cars use the middle and 3rd lanes to go to Yamagata, and drive fairly fast. After this point shortly the road goes underground and there’s no other spot other than inside the city. I found it impossible to hitchhike, took the bus to Yamagata for 1200 ten.

  This is a good service station with restaurants. There’s traffic of trucks and cars. I made the mistake of going to ocaña. DO NOT be tempted to do the same to get further in your travels. Ocaña is dead for hitchhiking.

  Towards Jõhvi, decent amount of traffic, the spot itself is not the greatest, poorly plowed during the winter. There is a fish stall next to it, not used during winter but during the fishing season, cars stop here frequently, also the side of the road is very wide then, could chat with people by the stall buying fish or hitching by the side of the road, wait times of 20-80 minutes depending on the season.

  a lot of traffic, lots of rude drivers (middle fingers, yelling, etc). Ended up hitching here for 5 days before taking a bus to Champiagn (luckily very cheap with amtrak, I would recommend waiting for a good deal instead of wasting time trying to hitch here). Most police officers did not seem to care except for one who threatened to arrest me if he saw me again, but I ended up leaving the next day on a bus anyway. I don't think that's the norm, the other cops there have been relatively nice to me.

  At first I was worried that the spot was gonna be bad because it really doesn't seem like cars could stop anywhere. BUT: after only 2 minutes I got a ride to himeji with a very kind family.
  They stopped their car in a road parallel to the onramp, so if you attract cars from the main road, they will have a chance to stop there and reenter onto the highway, so don't worry.
  I even got help from the local firefighters at their building just down the road, one of them walked me all the way to the point and explained me where to go and what to write on my sign.
  If you need the bathroom, further down the road there is a gas station with a clean bathroom, so your needs should be covered.
  I recommend this spot, even though it seemed sketchy at first.
  Edit: on my sign I wrote 姫路方面 which means "towards himeji"
  You can ask your ride to drop you of at the next SA, or service area (サービスエリア)

So everyone who is going everywhere is there and driving slow with lots of little cabins with vendors where people can pull in so easily and you have food for the worst case. 1 Minute with a Batumi sign and I was in a car in Kutaisi direction.

  You're probably not going to get a ride all the way to where you want to go but there is a nice traffic light with a countdown so you just go in the middle of the road asking everyone and they'll bring you somewhere. I took 3 rides to get to the border to Serbia, crossed on foot and got to Pirot then bus to Nis cause you're not going anywhere if you get stuck in Pirot.

  Omg, I can't even say how lucky I am. I was hitchhiking there at night with no hope for a ride and I was late to a rally event in Hail, when a legend stopped by me!

  An Indian traveler guy, my best friend now stopped in the middle of the night to a complete stranger, I told him the situation and he changed his route to drive me to a rally and go fast so I get on time! I couldn't believe my luck!

  This guy just saved me. I got to a rally on time and had a great evening watching show and seeing finals.

  I was just going along the highway with my thumb up. I think in a day time this spot is even better. At night here's also good light so drivers easily see you

  Brought here by my host in Bozeman.
  Okay shoulder and not a lot of people actually going through the ramp.
  Had an offer for a ride to Manhattan after only a few seconds. I declined, as it was too short.

  Had to wait another half hour to get a ride from Laif to Three Forks. He was on his way to give flight classes.
  When he dropped me he offered to get me a sandwich and insisted on giving me a Bible.

  Cops passed but didn't say anything.

  This is a good spot to catch a car for the ferry to Germany. I was waiting just outside Mac Donalds asking directly people entering or exiting Mac Donalds, without a sign. I also went to talk to people at the electric car charging station. After 15 people and roughly 30min, I finally found a swedish couple who was going to take the ferry and was willing to take me with them. Apparently, other cars were going north so not all cars parked here are going south. I was alone and with a small bag.

  Important update since 2016 - there is a camera watching you.

  I was trying to go south. After an hour of waiting with a sign on a ramp, a highway traffic vehicle stopped by and told me to leave, since it is already a highway. I had to move to the traffic lights junction, where it felt very desperate. Just when I gave up and started searching for buses, a car stopped and took me across the border to Belgium.

  Try this spot at your own risk.

  still possible to hitchhike there after the reconstruction work. good overview, but not so much place for stopping. we catch the car directly to prague thanks to the sign, but I can imagine that you can get a ride just to the highway and then hitchhike from there (there is lot of place under the highway bridge). it is fine that this spot is reachable by foot from the town. but if you don't mind paying for bus, maybe it can be better to start directly on the OMW petrol station on the highway

  First of all it's hard to find good spots from Nobeoka in the direction on Kumamoto in my opinion.
  There is just a right amount of cars passing here(1 every 10 or 20 seconds) and at least half of them go to the IC, that's why I stood here.
  They don't go too fast so they have time to see you and there is a good space just behind you so that even a small truck can park (it was a small truck that took me).

  No space to pull over, just hoped that they would use the intersection. People streamed past, took an hour for one to stop. Ouch. Visibility was good and the traffic wasn't crazy fast.

  Direction Czechia. Cursed place. Waited for 14 hours here after we got to a much worse place - the airport.

  We decided to get dropped of here in the evening from a ride coming from Hamburg. We made a risky bet to try to find a ride to Czechia, or at least towards Dresden. We asked almost every incoming car for Dresden or Cottbus without luck. We found a Slovak van driving over the whole night but only with 1 seat, but we were 2.

  The problem with this place is that there are so many directions after Berlin, so the chances are quite slim to get a quick ride. Although it is very easy to get to Berlin.

  If I were to do this again, I would stay on the ride from Hamburg, get into the city center, use public transport to find a good exit in my direction.

  Dropped north of Yachats, I desperately tried to hitchhike on this straight line where no one stopped, driving too fast.
  Little rain as well.

  Eventually, the local bus picked me up and dropped me in town. A passenger gave me some food and I started hitchhiking at my pick-up point.

  Got a beautiful ride from Tim, travelling in the area. 
  (If you hitch this highway, really aim for tourists to make big distances.)
  Used to trail, he came back to pick me up as he had to hitchike a lot as well.

  Originally only going to the Redwoods, we spent 4 days together through the mentioned Forest, Central California, Nevada and Death Valley, where our paths split.

  Great experience.

  I have left from this spot SO many times. Best way to go North out of the valley. Take the lightrail all the way east to Gilbert Rd. Take the Gilbert Rd bus (doesn't run Sundays) all the way north. Walk about two more miles to where Gilbert road ends. Guaranteed rides, no cop harassment. Everyone is going at least to Fountain Hills, a good half the traffic is heading to Payson or beyond. I have started trips to Flagstaff, Payson, Chinle, Moab, Las Vegas, Santa Fe, and more from this spot. Worth it to take this highway over the I-17 any day.  Wait times tend to be short.

  Bus stop right before a stoplight. Tons of cars coming from Keukenhof Gardens. Can talk to drivers stopped in long lines from traffic light. Everyone I talked to was going opposite direction from Amsterdam even though all traffic to Amsterdam must pass that spot. Only one person actually pulled over and stopped for us, but she was going a different route.
  After over an hour we looked at bus options. An unmarked bus stopped and said he was going to Amsterdam and that the bus was free, so we were lucky, but other people on the bus said they’d had to pay for it.

  Amazing Spot, especially if you’re trying to get to Linz. 
  It‘s directly after a roundabout so cars are driving slow and can see you well. Many cars go towards Linz. I‘d recommend trying to get a ride directly to Linz as it might be hard to get another ride along the road.
  I‘m hitchhiking to Linz quite a lot and people stop for me within 5-15 minutes usually.

Ni provis, sed fakte la automobilo haltis en la superbazaro, verŝajne ankaŭ pro Teamo Schaukel, kiuj en ĉi tiu kazo estis tri kaj ne povis preni tiun rektan veturon, kiu fakte donis al ni la unuan lokon ĉi-tage. Multaj homoj ankoraŭ provis, ĉi tiu ulo fakte iris al Mustar. Bosniano retiriĝis en Francio. 

  Alia ĉeĥa petveturanto ricevis veturon antaŭ ni en la sama loko, unu iranta al Tajlando ankaŭ per petveturado.

  Waited more than one hour although I was visible and had a sign for Toulouse... I chose to stand at the beginning of the lane going to the rideshare parking (about 100m before the toll) booth to avoid the risk of being kicked out (there is a gendarmerie next to it), that's maybe the reason...

  Great for going to Lauka or nearby villages, but don't get fooled by the road name, if you are interested going to Käina or anywhere south, go to Kärdla and from there to Käina, as almost noone uses this road to get there, if going to Lauka, 5-20 minutes to get a car

  It’s really a bad place with only like 10 trucks - I, solo female, started feeling unsafe quickly but I got extremely lucky and found two very nice truck drivers who offered me food and coffee and after waiting with them until their break was over (4 hours😭) because no one else would take me / my motivation to ask truck drivers in the rain was not so high either they took me to orleans. But on the positive side it’s walkable distance to some small city so you’re not completely lost in the wild as I felt at first.

  the only Gas station directly on the highway between Rostock and Greifswald.
  It serves both directions but there were more people for direction east. I was ther on a work day noon in winter. There was not super much trafic but some cars would still come. Most people were going to Poland or Stralsund. One person would be driving towards schwerin, one person to magdeburg. Few people were going to Rostock and on a ferry to Denmark. Only few people were going west. It took me 4 hours until a person agreed to take me to Lübeck.
  So all in all I´d recomend if you wanna go Stralsund or Poland. If you wanna go further west I'd recomend to get out on one of the parking areas on the highway or to hitch somewhere from rostock. this place sucks.

  Used this spot to hitch a ride into Skopje. I ended up just focussing on the people coming off the A2 highway, as traffic already on the road was driving too quickly and no space to pull over. But it works out perfectly because all drivers coming from the A2 have to come to a complete stop and wait until traffic is clear so enough time to make some hand signals and get some real eye contact.

  The street must have been suspended throughout the time. It was completely abandond. Not one car in 30 min. Only Busses leaving the parking place just beneath the street. Don't try it here.
  There is a possibility to get to the next Service Station Aire de Limours with public transport and a 30 minutes walk and a fence (easy to climb). Sounds like an effort but is probably the best way to get out of the city.

  Very good spot to continue the hitchhike to south. A water spring is available. Drivers smiled, 2 cars stopped within 40-50 minutes and the second one dropped me in Vila Real.
  However, if you are going to Viseu/Coimbra, don't drop off on the western side of Vila Real where the bus station is, or you'll need a city bus to A24 entrance (5/31/51, cost 1,55€). Also if you wanna continue to Porto or the west, that highway entrance in Vila Real city centre looks steep and uncomfortable to wait at, so you'd better check the map for a better continuation.

  Here might be good northward as well.

  Might have just been unlucky but we were on the side of the road for 5 hours, maybe more. State Trooper pulled over to check on us and apologize that they aren't allowed to pick up hitchhikers anymore. Somewhere on Hitchhike someone mentions that Texans will more likely give you money than a ride. This was true in our experience. We stopped in the diner across the street for lunch and people were very helpful but no rides. Eventually a guy picked us up going all the way to Childress.

  Was there at sunrise on a weekday. In around 25 minutes, I was offered two different rides. One in the direction of Rotterdam, and another towards a petrol station on the highway just outside of Leiden. At this hour it was all short-distance work traffic.

  One male 40+, no sign, one big and one small backpacks, sunny day. On my way from Dagupan to Subic.
  A very good spot. Plenty of space to stop. Very good visibility. Downside is no shade.
  I got a ride in 15 minutes (before two cars stopped, but were going the other way) to Santa Cruz.
  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.
  I did that route once before and it went quickly.

  I tried hitchhiking to the first Austrian town. I walked out of Mittenwald while thumbing to get a ride but with no success. Until I arrived to the freeway where I waited around 15mn before getting a ride. People looked like they didn’t trust me idk why. Even the women that gave me the ride. But It was a good ride actually

  Cars go extremely fast on this road it can be kinda scary, but they have enough place to slow down and stop. If it rains, you can abrite yourself under the bus shelter. Cars that stop may go to Nantes by 2 différents roads, either passing by Pontchateau or by Blain

  Snow was falling and traffic was low, so got a bit nervy. Almost all trucks here, but I wasn’t getting much love from them. Finally saw a car pulling in to the vignette station, asked him in the parking lot for a ride to Budapest and he was happy to help me. Would recommend this approach over thumbing trucks. Not a bad spot and a fun walk to get there as well

  Never easy to hitchhike in the desert. 
  Most traffic was heading towards NV.

  Got a local who stopped t chat and others who wanted to help me but couldn't afford the gas to Baker.

  Eventually, John, a truck driver from Texas picked me up because I was the first to "thumb up".

  Offered me a shower at the gas station and dinner at his truck stop. 

  Left with him next morning to keep going South.

Initially I had a sign with A10 / Bordeaux / Aire de Limours written on it, but then I switched to keep only A10 and much more cars stopped, until I was taken to the Limours gas station. Nice shady little wating spot, with space for cars to stop. Good luck 😉

  It's not the best spot to pull over, but the best nearby, got a ride very quickly though. Hitchhiking as a couple with a "Schneeberg" sign... There's also a possibility to stand at the traffic lights or at the exit from the highway. Though I wouldn't probably stand at the exit myself since there are many locals heading to the mountains who don't come from the highway.

  Just after the border you have plenty of space to hitchhike, and border officers dont care. But not many cars, and the main difficulty is to make a greek car stop for a hitchhiker. I tried without cardboard and after that with a cardboard for Thessaloniki (Selaniku in Albanian, and Θεσσαλονίκη in greek (good luck to write it, plan enough space). Finally after 3hours an Albanian took me. (an other car stopped before and was going in Athens but that was not my goal)

  This seems like the perfect place to hitch east. The traffic is slow after the roundabout, there is lots of space to stop. There was shade from the sun. I tried everything. At one point, I was helping drivers get peage tickets that were coning out of the machine too high. Still noone wanted to take me. A lot of traffic was going south. 
  I shouldnhabe read the reviews that there's a country road going east so should have tried that. 

  Just as I was picking up my bags to walk somewhere else, a man picked me up and drove me where I was hoping to get to near valance!

  I had a sign for orange/lyon which matched the road sign.

  So... It's 2025 and we tried to hitchhike to Algeciras. This is the place where you usually get a ferry ticket. First we tried to enter the "export access" for trucks which is very close by but even a guy who works there told us that the driver needs the name of the passenger on his ticket so we didn't try more. Later we heard around 3 a few busses would arrive and maybe those we could have asked but in the end we just decided to not wait 3h and bought a ticket. I would have loved to try it somehow but my wife was lazy :D. Good luck for anyone who will try nowadays. I would love to know if someone will manage it!

  After very successful day, I got stuck here for over an hour.  The place was decent.  Loads of space to stop. Shade. After the curve, but not the worst visibility.  Busy, but not hectic traffic. I don't know why it took so long. But eventually, after 70 minutes I got a ride to Laoag.

  We wanted to go to Foz do Iguaçu so it may have been better to hitch at the exit of Guarapuava instead of the entrance. The spot near the roundabout is great because it's after a speed bump on the highway. You can signal to the drivers on the highway, and those who exit the gas station. There is enough space for cars and truck to park for a few minutes.

  We got a ride from a truck driver to Foz do Iguaçu! 🚚

  Many cars passing by going towards the highway. Either you stand at the bus stop where cars can safely pull over or just a few meters further where visibility is better. Easy to get a ride towards Lausanne, I recommend taking the first ride to the service station la côte. From there, you can find many cars travelling long distances who stopped there. Most cars at this spot won't drive further than Lausanne.

  The best place for going to Bulgaria along a route which is not too frequented. I stayed at the barrier and simply asked drivers with Bulgarian numbers (not big letters BG, which is Belgrade) while they were paying their tickets. Toll workers don't pay attention, but be respectful of course. This way got direct drives to Sofia even in the evening!

  Perfect spot. You will find a huge mostly empty gas station with a lot of space for cars to stop and you will be visible to drivers. In the morning hours the traffic was low, almost no motorbikes at all, so it's easier for cars to stop here. As most cars pass slowly here, you can even hitch a truck. We got a direct truck ride to Huế in about 5 minutes.

  To get to this spot from the city, you must get bus number 06 (Vinh – Hà Tĩnh). It starts from Chợ ga Vinh (near the train station, google it), and passes through the city so that you might catch it in a different place, we got it around the Bến Thuỷ area. It goes all the way to Hà Tĩnh, but I suggest you get off at this intersection or directly at the gas station, otherwise, that would be difficult to get away from Hà Tĩnh.

Follow the gravel track "Via Valle" on 400 meters and then you will find a low fence easy to step over, enter the service station and ask people for a ride.

I was hitchhiking to Central London with a sign "London A40" people stop there at the traffic lights so they have enough time to see you. All traffic goes in the direction of Central London. So pretty good, 4/5 because for hitchhiker it's not the top spot but there is no better at this place. It's safe when you stay on the island on the road.

  Okay spot but took me a while to find a ride. Continuous flow of cars and pretty fast speeds. Tried just a thumb, a sign saying "100km" and finally a sign "Merzifon". Eventually got a ride 50km onwards to a gas station.

  I didn't enjoy hitching there, but you can't argue the results. I stood after the pedestrian crossing to stand out from the crowd, but I gues you could go before and ask the drivers waiting on the red light. I had sign "A10".

  To go direction Toulouse. You need a sign with "Péage / Toulouse". There is little place for cars to stop and this place is better than before the roundabout because you get much more cars (twice as much as on the other spot)

  Decent spot to get onto US 101, as there's a largish gravel shoulder before the on-ramp where people can stop. First car which stopped (5 mins waiting) didn't go in my direction, second one (15 mins) took me all the way to the Port Angeles area. If you're not finding a ride, there's a bus station nearby, as well as places to buy drink and food.

  This looks to be the most obvious way to get out of Brescia and from here you can go to any direction you want. 
  To get here you can just take a short walk from Volta metro. There will be a gas station and when you walk past it, you will come across a comfy side of the road that seems great for HH, at least in theory. In reality though, despite a decent amount of traffic, it can be extremely hard to stop anybody here (especially without a sign).
  If you get frustrated after waiting for a long time, I can recommend checking out the two gas stations on either side of the roundabout for any cars that may potentially go in your desired direction.

  I rate this spot 4/5 just because it is one of the very few ways to get out of Brescia.

  P.S. I'm going to post other ways to HH out of the city after I've discovered them. Look for any recent updates

  This is a good spot for patient hitchhikers who get rides city by city and not to their destination. I came here on the way from Chaves to Coimbra by bus 51, paid 1,55€. Buses 5 and 31 are also coming and do stop closer. Good traffic, most of them are workers going to other small towns, one offered me a 15km ride but had me refusing when he warned me very low traffic is leaving that village, so I should wait here for a longer ride.
  After a hour I opted for a Rede Expresso bus to Coimbra for 10€ through the app.

  A bit long to get here but simple (just RER to Bussy St George and just walk, better than going to Vémars).
  A kind worker took us (we were 2) to the station near the end.
  We found an old couple who took us to Reims, good people.
  Good place to go east, I also want to try if by I can go to Brussel easier from Paris by starting here compared to Vémars maybe.

  I wouldn't recommend it. We used it to get to Warsaw and were really lucky but I don't think that you have a good chance getting a ride. Most drivers are only driving a really short distance. Our driver was on his way home after work (distance about 1km) but he was so kind to take us all the way to a big gas station at the highway in Gozdowo! He only went there for us so we can get to Warsaw.

  Such a miracle spot - we were convinced that we would catch somebody at the spot before us at the same road but apparently the road has changed so much that there was no place to stop.

  To go towards Madrid/Andalusia: You reach this spot by the public „metrobus“ 430A from Valencia. Its not the red city busses but the yellow metrobus. It starts from the main bus station but dont try to catch it there because noone knows where it departs. We caught it one spot down from there and it came by the time stated on google maps. Its like 3€.
   
   The spot itself is not great but okay. There are people going to Valencia or other local towns (many), some to Madrid and quite a few to Andalusia/Sevilla/Portugal. Many cars are full. 
   
   We arrived at 20:00 and tried for 2 hours and got close to a lift to madrid multiple times. We went to sleep in a field nearby which was perfect. Next day it took us another 2 hours to go to another service station 1 1/2 hours towards spain.
   
   I don't know if we just got unlucky but I think its just spain. Many people are shocked when you ask them for a lift.

I hiked 2km away because of the highway noise, on the east side. Asking a farmer for a bed or barn crossed my mind. Crossing west is possible, there's an underpass if you go a little north.

  Glumslöv 9AM Saturday.
  30min for offer to Snapparp. in the meantime I got 2x Stockholm and 1 offer to Helsingborg. I talked to people at the gas station, but carried a sign saying "Norr på E6". Toilets are free and accessible until midnight I was told.

  First car passing by stopped for me. Traffic is low in general, I was lucky I'd say. You also bypass the entrance fee of 100Bs as they don't stop private cars at the gate. (If they ever stop, I've not seen anyone there)

  The spot is relatively difficult to reach as there is no pedestrian path. So you have to walk behind the crash barrier for about 1 km. But it's worth it. The highway access road is single-lane, but without a crash barrier and with enough green space next to the road for cars to stop. I didn't wait a minute with a "Dresden" sign. I just took the sign out of my rucksack and a car stopped. Can only recommend the spot. But be prepared to walk a short distance across the field.

  I often use this spot, I wait between the lanes at the toll, which is forbidden but that's really far more efficient than waiting before the parking lot. Anyway, no workers at this entrance so they won't say anything. Just once (among the 30 times i hitchhiked) the police passed by and "asked" me to move. I usually do not use a sign because there are several options (gas stations) to stop between here and Montpellier or Narbonne/Perpignan/Toulouse.

  Perfect spot right next to the border. Fany french people come to this gas station cause it's cheaper than in France, so it's easy to find rides to France. Also there are mant cars heading towards Spain and I got rides to Valladomid and Soria from here just by talking to drivers

  Border guards had no problem with me hitchhiking. I took a ride from the first car that stopped, which turned out to be just going only a few minutes into town. Maybe best to just walk/get a ride to the other end of Rezina and hitch from there? Note that if you choose to walk across town, you will be met with a very imposing tower of stairs :)

  Not the best spot to get in direction to Kautokeino,  all cars ride to the Nordkapp and people who drove in the direction more to the west (Kautokeino) didn't stop and don't understand hitchhiking. One guy from Switzerland saved us after 6 hours, he took us out of this Saami shithole back to Finland. However some people were offering us to ride with them to the north (Nordkapp) or Alta.

  - One of the worst experience. At least stuff members on the gas station were nice and helpful. More than half of the cars were German Caravans or Norwegian in Teslas riding alone and no one stops, even during heavy rain, the evening in 8°C and same in the morning.

  The roads in this area was recently completely changed. This roundabout was really good for us to go towards A10 (Orléans, Chartres, Nantes, Bordeaux, Toulouse,...).

  80% of cars were going to Evry, you don't want them, you need to reach the gas station Limours-Janvry on the A10 but there's usually some people going there (it's a 10 min ride) from the gas station just go and talk to people to reach further.

  I always go there to leave Paris. It's around 1h15 by public transport from Paris center but you're guaranteed to start the trip easily after.

One guy took us (2) from here to toll behind Montpellier, which wasn’t the best idea, because of legality and cars start going there faster. So we jumped the fence and found another place where it was much more safer and comfy. Try to stay on highway if you go long distances and petrol stations as well. Had a sign Montpellier

  1H30 d'attente pour être amené au péage direction bordeaux. Il y a une ligne de bus souvent libre pour permettre aux voitures de s'arrêter. Beaucoup de trafic et de réactions de la part des automobilistes. Peut-être que la manifestation a rendu les choses plus compliquées...

  Stood here 30 mins with a sign for dubai. There was a big space to pull over and a bustop. In that time 2 wannabe taxi drivers stopped and wanted 20 dirhams (english speaking) for Al ain alone. The bigger problem was some annoying Indian dude kept walking over (very slowly) to tell me nobody would stop, in the process blocking the pull in place and making that all the more likley. Low on time and couldn't be bothered so when the bus stopped I took it (requires hafilat card). Ymmv, but not as friendly as Oman.

  It seems a great spot to hitch to Mostar or Dubrovnik and it very likely is HOWEVER be very careful. I exited the car of my host and lit up a smoke and within 2 minutes an unmarked police car stopped me and demanded my papers, after asking for their ID they told me the only ID I needed to see was there gun before eventually showing something real. They got me to unload the entirety of my bag and found an empty weed grinder and then tried to charge me 500 euros, they then forcefully took my passport and because I wouldn't pay they took me to the station. They then lied to me for over an hour about not being allowed to contact the embassy or a lawyer and instead made jokes about how they were conning me and I'm lucky they don't send me to prison even after I had paid 450 euros for smoking a cigarette. Absolute joke. Be very careful the police force seems very corrupt as it was the chief who eventually charged me and denied me any of my rights. They are just stealing passports and holding travellers to ransom. Avoid the road if you can as many police cars come along here and all have tried to stop me since the first interaction.

  Maybe it was the rain, but this was dead.
  The spot is good in theory, it’s the first services after the Austrian border, and it’s easy to reach from Jesenice. Our walk from the train station was a couple of kilometres, but the underpass and service road maybe it very easy. Adding to that the both the gate to the construction site, and the subsequent one to the services itself were both unlocked, we thought we were in for a treat! (Despite being soaked through to the skin.)
  Then when we got there, disappointment set it. In was next to silent, and all the traffic was Austrian. Oops.
  There was nowhere good to stand in the rain, so we resorted to asking, and after a few firm NEINs, we finally met Rosemary. 
  She had never taken a hitcher before and neither her nor her husband spoke any English. The turning point however, was when she learned I spoke Spanish, and decided I’d make some good practice for her on the way!
  So there we were, two French people soaked to the skin, in the back of a brand new Austrian Merc, speaking Spanish, to an Austrian, on her way to the dentist in Slovenia.
  If this isn’t why we hitch, I don’t know what is!

There are a few spots where cars could stop down the rode but we couldn't get anything until it got dark. I'd recommend taking a bus to Omis (idk how much it costs we didnt buy a ticket🤣) and from there try to catch a ride to makarska or Dubrovnik.

  Few cars passing by frequently, but I think you have to be really lucky to get a lift to Brno here. Most drivers are maybe not going the whole way, it felt like a lot of rural traffic, so maybe more success without a sign. On the bright side, plenty of space for drivers to pull in, and very visible all along this road. Can also hitch from the on slip before the motorway sign - legal and visble and space to pull over.  Also worth talking to drivers at the mcdonalds or the bagetterie or filling station across the road.

  A relatively good starting spot since it's easy to reach with the overground from London proper. However not too many cars stop at the gas station and they are not stopping for a thumb. I did find a ride that was able to take me at least a bit further on the highway in the direction of Dover for higher chances to find someone to take me further.

  Very good spot to leave Chaves towards south, you should come here by bus to Boticas and ask the driver to drop you at Autopista before Casas Novas (i departed from Boticas at 7:30am and he made an extra stop for me).
  You should wait on the short lane where cars have just turned left and had time to see you. Most of drivers smiled. After 40 minutes a man in a modern pick-up took me to Vila Pouca de Aguiar and offered me 15€, this has been the first time within European continent :D
  İn Vila Pouca, drop off at city centre highway entrance, easy to continue. Water spring available.
  İn Vila Real, don't drop off at city centre entrance, or you'll need a city bus (5/31/51) from nearby bus station to continue towards Viseu and Coimbra.

After some time i found a local grandpa who took me a bit further to a gas station on the ring.

Got a ride from a mallorcan family with no rear window up the road to la repita, or more specifically a random roadside viewpoint on the outskirts of town. but progress is progress!

  Good spot for hitching to Wanaka/Cromwell. Easily accessible by a local bus, there is a small bay right after the turn to arrowtown.

  Got a lucky ride to Lapland after an hour, good spot, large gas station to rest and charge if hitching is slow too.

  Sign to GOJO. Decent pull in area eastbound, also traffic is slowed by traffic lights so is often stopped next to you looking terrified. Good visibility. Driver spoke almost no english but Google translate ftw. Ride direct to gojo.

  Towards Morawica/Kielce, there's a small side on the road where cars can stop, not the comfiest but speeds are slow so you will probably get a car within 10-15 minutes

  La plej neverŝajna loko por veturigi, pli malbone dumnokte, ĉi tiu benzinstacio estas morta, la ulo, kiu laboras ĉi tie, estas kolera pri la vivo, eble lia sola ĝojo estas nutri la multajn katojn. Mi preskaŭ estis forironta kaj iri al la sekva proksima intersekciĝo meze de mallumo por provi pli bonan ŝancon, tamen kamioneto haltis por ŝanĝi ŝoforojn kaj ili prenis min en la lasta minuto. Mi alvenis ĉi tien pro malbona vojaĝadministrado.

  We took the third car (so cerca every 20th car stopped). It was a very nice and communicative social worker from Sàlo and he helped us to get closer to Prabione. Other places more far that road are impossible to go on foot and just a very few buses.

  Expected more from this place. Maybey I should have used a sign. Stood in the berm before the gas station to give people time to react. Declined 4 rides going only to Groenlo before taking one there anyway. There I only waited 2minutes so should have doen that right away.

  I went to Ohrid from Pogradec. I choosed not to go the way through Saint Naum Monastery, where there is less traffic. 
  Several cars and buses came but they mainly showed me where the buses are. Then I was dropped off at the intersection between the road to Tirana and the one to Ohrid.

  Very poor location towards west, no matter are you up here or try your luck down on autobahn (which is illegal), but either way no good spot for cars to stop, as well as mostly cars turn towards Innsbruck from here, wait time of over 40 minutes definitely, try to get to some other junction if possible

  Got a ride to here from niksic, waited for 15 minutes if not less and catched a car to Zabljak. 
  I'd say that it's better to go a bit up the road because cars go pretty fast around and don't have time to stop after they see you.

  Nice petrol station, not too crowded. It's great for Antwerp or furthernnorth. To go to Gent we ask a nice driver to do a quick detour, to bring us to the first gas station in direction of Gent, which is like a ten minute detour from the route to Antwerp. This was a good decision. Seems like not many cars actually take this direction.

  It is a spot on traffic lights. We stood next to  crosswalk. We had sign Wurzburg and thumbs up. Its good place, because there is big traffic and also cars have to stop at traffic lights, so it is easy to interact with them and they have also time to decide. There is a space behind the light to stop, so i think it is not dangerous or risky for drivers to stop. Also people from Nuremberg told us that this spot is good and kind of “famous” for hitchhiking. I recommend you to write a sign and be funny, use your hands and smile. Impress drivers, it really works.
   Finally we drive to Bamberg instead Wurzburg, because we just wanted to go away from Nuremberg, but it is possible to catch something this way.

  Decent spot outside a commercial area. Visibility good, enough room to pull over, and low speed as it's right after a traffic light. Took a long long time because we were 2 women traveling and Vernon is a bit of a pain to hitch out of :-) Ride did not take us far, but was enough to keeo the morale up.

  We wanted to hitchhike from Breginj to Rovic. It was harder than expected because there is very little cars passing and slowenians were not very into taking us. In the end a german family took us down to the river and we walked along it ro the bigger street for one hour. Quite a nice walk though

  Ne tre bona poento. Ili permesis al ni petveturi ĉi tien nur ĉar aŭto lasis nin ĉe la paspago kaj neniu kondukis nin tra la limkontrolo, kaj ni venis piede, kio estas malpermesita, sed ni klarigis, ke la ulo lasis nin tien kaj jam transiris, do ni devus provi tie. Ili forstampis nin, sed petis nin piediri al la alia limo. Ili rifuzis kaj devigis nin piediri reen ĉar ni povis transiri nur per veturilo.... tiom laca pro la tromado de la limkontrolistoj.

  Little traffic, if you come from exploring Djulö just walk along the road, no point in waiting here, I walked almost all the way to the mainroad before I got a car, it's a nice walk and most of the time cars have decent visibility, wait times of 100+ minutes tho
