  The road is wide and well plowed during winter, better than staying in Kalix if headed towards Lulea, got a ride within 15 minutes, be aware that the bus stop a bit further up is hidden and people wont have enough time to react so no point walking further along the road from here, ( also turns into 2 lanes after the bus stop)

  Okay traffic, many locals going halfway/all the way to Kielce. Not the best for stopping a car but doable for someone who's willing to help.

  A guy and a girl on a Wednesday at noon with a small arrow sign. It's hard to get to this spot, you have to get to the other side of the road, in the gas station by bus and foot before crossing to the other side.
  It looks like a bad spot from afar, but is in fact very nice, with lot of place to stop and cars going slowly before the roundabout.

  2nd day of Easter (April 2024), a 70 minutes wait and a 422km ride to Kløfta (close to Oslo).
  To get there take a local train to Lundamo stasjon, this is the last station to which you use a single ticket (46 NOK) valid in transportation zone A. At that point you are well visible and right by the E6 motorway, cars go 50 km/h and there is a large shoulder for drivers to pull over. I used a sign and my thumb.
  This spot is perfect because all the town and very local Trondheim-traffic is already filtered out.

Then a friendly driver told me to stand on the left side of the eastward traffic, on the traffic island there, because the two leftmost Lanes go mostly eastward and the right lane goes North and west. Was lucky in 30 more minutes. Great spot to stop in front the traffic light, loads of room there.

  Alright place to start hitchhiking south on the A7. Recommend it as a starting or ending spot for your trip as your able to get to there from the road nearby (though you might need to jump a fence). The parking spot isn't super busy, so if you need to switch rides I'd recommend other bigger autobahn parking spaces to the south or the north.

  This is so far my best, fastest and coolest experience in Estonia! So an undercover/secret service agent who was on a mission to drive towards Ida-Viru, took me, even though he was in a hurry, as they had just captured some criminals that needed to be interrogated there. He had done hitchhiking himself when he was younger and that’s why he had stopped. So he told me that he’d get me to Tartu very fast and that he will speed and he cannot be fined (going waaaay over the speed limit lol) as it’s a work reason, though he was in a normal civilian car (we got to Tartu in less than 45 min instead of an hour). I won’t and can’t get into details but he told me lots about his previous work in the police, chasing criminals, those high-speed chases, loopholes in the law etc. He obviously wasn’t allowed to give me any information on his current job though I tried my best to feed my curiosity. I really felt like I was in an action movie, so I truly loved this experience in my home country with this lovely man working for the safety of our nation! 😎

  Towards Rõngu/Tartu, in theory a very good spot, good enough visiblity, cars coming from Võru road have nice ramp for them, bus stop with roof etc etc, however this part of the road is pretty desolated with very little traffic, furthermore, noone uses this turn to go towards Rõngu, as the traffic from sideroads literally always goes from Tõrva road to Võru road, speeds are high on the main road and wait times of 100+ minutes to be expected, i ended up walking towards Puka on the highway and about a kilometer in managed to stop a car on the highway, so might be worth a shot, good luck

  I guess making a sign to a town close to the border would work better but I got a ride decently fast with my Sejny sign. Also the bus stop has space to pull over, works better than the gas station unless you’re asking people directly

  This is place near the entrance to the bakery.

  This place is hopeless. Even though there are plenty cars with Serbian plates, and this place is right after the radar, so cars slow down and can see you, nobody of them stopped, and I've noticed that most of the cars were completely full. I took me more than 3 hours with no options but standing there and when I was about to loose all hope, a very nice Bosnian old man, who spoke German has stopped by me and took me to the border bridge between Bosnia and Serbia right after Zdvornik.

  Generally, I would suggest you to avoid this place. But maybe I just had a bad luck.

  Even though this spot was very praised, and there's nice markings by fellow hitchhikers on a traffic sign, I had to wait 1,5 h to get a ride towards Trieste. Even got middle-finger'd once. Gave up with using a sign in half an hour. After 1h 15min the first car stopped for me, but was going to Novo mesto. A while after that, a super nice and helpful Slovenian mother picked me eventually up and took me to the halfway and donated me some mixed nuts and drove home. And then she came back to me in order to drive me to Trieste!!! <3 so the wait was deffo rewarded

  An ideal place to go to ANGERS, TOURS
  There's a parking space after the sign and cars go quite slowly.
  Accessible by bus 62 from "La poterie" to "Martinière"
  There are street lamps
  I use it all the time and never wait more than 10 minutes.

  Por la dua fojo en mia vivo de senhalta petveturado ekde 2015, mi vidis du aŭtojn halti por mi samtempe. Nu, mi iris kun tiu, kiu haltis pli proksime, kaj eĉ tiam la alia, kiu haltis pli malproksime, atendis por vidi ĉu mi irus kun la unua aŭ ne, tre bonege. Dua petveturada sperto en Rusio kaj ĝi jam estis bonega sperto. Ĉi tiu amiko el Dagstano kunprenis min por manĝi ion, aĉetis por mi manĝaĵon, pluvombrelon, gantojn, kaj eĉ proponis al mi hotelon, kiun mi akceptis, kaj la sekvan tagon li eĉ kunprenis min al loko ekster la urbo por ke mi povu daŭrigi mian vojaĝon. Mi povas nur esprimi mian profundan dankemon.

  The spot is a decent alternative when it's dark outside and no traffic at the gas station if someone is heading north. There is a lamp and a place where cars can easily pull over. The only issue is that cars go downhill so the driver doesn't have time to react after spotting you.

  It was 6 am, during winter, dark outside and traffic was very low. Got a ride after 15 minutes of waiting to Berkåk although the driver had to turn back for me as he didn't have time to react in time.

  The space to pull over is tiny, but after 20 mins someone did. Fun rude halfway along the road, driver spoke English, good visibility and traffic slowed. Moderate traffic flow. Note that fredricks havn might be a quicker way to get to hjoring than here.  Thumb.

  hard to believe but maybe this is a great spot. no space to pull over rlly but cars stop for the red light so you have some time to charm them with your great sign and pretty smiles.
  fair amount of traffic and ppl were really friendly - we even got handed a wedge of cheese from a guy waiting at the red light because he was so excited to see hitchhikers.

  Its an alright spot to get to the highway. If you're new to central asian hitchhiking this might be a cold start and you'll have to figure out the taxi thing, but you'll get used to it. Experience for us: 
  Three cars stopped and the third gave us a ride. They said we had no chance of hitchhiking and tried to find someone for us at truck stops. They then treated us to plov and drove us to the 5 km to highway :)

  Got to make the most of the crossing if your ride isn't taking you in the direction you'd like and you really want to avoid being left in Calais if possible, not good options from there. You only have half an hour so as soon as the train sets off start along all the carriages. Everyone's asked to put their windows down so extremely easy to chat to people. We got a ride all the way to Barcelona over two days so couldn't have worked better.

  I was 30 min walking from this bus stop, once the van arrived I asked in Polish how much for a ride to Opatkowice and he probably said something like "nah I got you" because I didn't paid nothing. Maybe if you try to ask in the local language you can get one too ;)

  Pretty sure this spot is illegal since it's already on the main road and it's a bus stop, but with a "Rabka" sign I got a ride to Myślenice in less than 5 min. 
  If you stay there for a long time, just be careful

  I asked my ride to leave me here on my way from Milan to Brescia since I didn't want to enter Bergamo. I was surprised to see that many cars were passing through this gas station even on a Sunday night. 
  Eventually got picked up all the way to Brescia relatively quickly. 

  P.S. On this Autogrill I came upon a couple of foreign backpackers that were headed to Venezia. They were standing with a sign on the entrance to the gas station, which didn't bring them much success since I found actually asking the drivers in simple Italian way more profitable.

  This is a great spot to hitchhike from! The third car I asked to took me in I’m not sure if I put it correctly on the app, but look for the « kiss and drive » parking/Kurzzeit Parkplatz. It is great, as people won’t stay more than 10 minutes, making the flow of cars stopping there very quick. And because this is a big airport there’s gonna be a lot of cars coming to drop off or pick up someone and potentially from a lot of neighbouring cities (my case, needed to go to Bremen). I was there on a Sunday around 3 pm

  We tried to hitchhike towards Nisz/Sofi. We didn't have time to part well when a very nice TIR driver stopped. He didn't go to Nisz, but he drove us to a large gas station from where it seems that we should easily catch something towards Sofia. In general, the place of great cars slow down is contact with drivers and entry on the A1 road.

  This is the spot you can use to get out of Turkey to Bulgaria. My experience in October 2021 was rewarding. I came to the border gate and the officials said "you can't walk" (it's been like that for years) and when I stood up few hundreds metres before, soldiers from Jandarma told me to get backwards and try asking at/inside restaurants. This doesn't work if you, like me, look Middle Eastern so the truck drivers will ignore you thinking you're irregular. So I took a dolmuş back to the pinned gas station and waited 2 hours (could be much less) until a Turkish man took me with him to casino in Svilengrad, offered me the entrance and a private hotel bedroom.

  I tried both sides of the area, on the left asking trucks conductors but they weren't allowed to take hitchhiker's ; and I also went on the right side near the gas station and shop, to ask directly people. I waited 2 hours and eventually found a nice couple that took me to Toul, near Nancy. Not really my way but I took the train from Toul to Strasbourg!

  Theoretically a perfect place to hitchhike. Most people are going in the right direction, the cars are moving slowly and there's lots of places to stop. Still, it didn't seem like anyone was going to stop for me. 

  In the end, I smiled and waved at someone and they stopped. They said they never took hitchhikers before. 

  There are two checkpoints and I recommend trying both. I had luck when I moved from the croatian side to the slovenian side. 

  The driver took me to the bridge near Kirk and I found a lovely spot to camp. Walk down to Plaža Črišnjeva (there is a bar if you want to refill water or treat yourself to a beer). Walk along the coastal path. I found a small rocky beach to sleep on for the night. Will mark it on the map!

  Towards Linnamäe/Haapsalu, very low traffic as well as most cars already on the Keila-Haapsalu road would speed, but there's some traffic turning from Risti road headed towards Linnamäe or Nõva which you should aim for, bus stop is okay, not the largest but will fit a lorry if needed, wait times of 20-50 minutes

  Rompetrol station. Medium good spot. Lot of local traffic, ask for Dej instead of Bistrica (it's closer). Lot of people speak English and are helpful.  Still it took me approx. 70 minutes to get a lift to Dej. Maybe standing with a sign next to the traffic light where cars need to stop, would be better..

  Silent roundabout with dogs sunbathing on the streets, careless of the few cars almost running over them.
  Almost all cars turn left (north-east) to Zemo Kedi, only one in half a hour went straight to Kasritskali. I got ignored by the minibus to Sabatlo, the farthest village at 3:30pm, but I'm sure you can catch it earlier in Dedoplis Tskaro.
  I continued to Kvemo Kedi by 2 different rides by couples of english speaking youth, i camped at the Caravan Camping (see Google maps), astonishing views.
  I came again here at 3pm this time by minibus, the driver literally shouted to a truck and stopped him for me. We arrived to Kasritskali after a hour of dirt agricultural roads and even crossed the Shiraki abandoned airport!

  Walked around a bit and this seems to be the best spot in Shebalino. The gas stations were not very frequented.

  General advice for all of Chuysky trakt: Best is to thumb at bus stops, every village has one. Even inside of town, cars have very high speeds, but visibility is often very good. Takes some time to find cars (average 30min), but you will always find rides. Many locals and other travelers also do hitchhiking, you may not be the only one at a spot.

  The problem with this spot is that going west due to the railway line their is no pullover places, except one farm gate kind of thing in the first few hundred metres. Foolishly I walked past this thumbing the road. This is a mistake as people go fast here, or are trapped in a convoy behind some pootling campervan. Both of which given them a golden excuse to throw their arms up in the air or give you a smug, mocking thumbs up, and drive past. Walked for about an hour with decent traffic flow but got picked up eventually. Don't be like me, stop walking at the first good spot.

  Walked down Malone/Jagoe w/ my thumb out, cloudy weekday. Dude in a truck saw me hitching and flipped around after and drove me all the way to Willis Library. Talked about music. Ave C is generally pretty good either way, bc people are always headed to or from UNT, but there did seem to be more traffic going North, so I had to walk south a bit to catch more neighborhood traffic.

  Not so many cars were coming and taxis were standing at the intersection offering a ride for 20€. I walked along the road to be as far as I can from the taxis where I think cars don't want to stop as a respect for them. After that I only waited view minutes and was dropped off in Struga. The border was really easy to cross, I even stayed in the cars.

  The two of us tried to hitchhike from here towards Istanbul. First, we tried asking people at the gas station, then we hitchhiked directly on the highway – a weak point. Few drivers head towards the Turkish border, and those who do, for the most part, don't want to take on additional passengers. Perhaps if you're trying to get to Istanbul, it's a better idea to try and find a driver who goes directly there in Sofia. We finally managed to catch a Bulgarian driver around 7:00 PM. He said hitchhiking to Istanbul was very difficult, so he took us to the bus stop in Haskovo. From there, with a heavy heart, we bought tickets for the bus to Istanbul (it was called "metro" – the ride takes about five hours due to breaks and a stop at the border). We had to go for it because we were pressed for time, and the driver insisted quite strongly that it was the best idea. To sum up, maybe we were just unlucky or maybe hitchhiking towards Istanbul is actually very difficult - Turkish drivers do not want to pick up travelers - we don't know exactly why.

  OK spot, lots of cars, they can pull over. But you're still in a populated area and rides might not get y0u too far.  Heads up that the cars might be pulling over quite a bit behind you as they need to switch lanes to slow down.

  I was here in August on a Friday at about 4PM. 10min for a ride to Glumslov rest stop north of Helsingborg. Austrian guy was visiting his girlfriend in Båsten. 
  I think standing after the gas station is maybe better. I tried standing before, and it's mildly dangerous. Also, if a car goes to the gas station, you can't tell whether it's for you. Walking there and asking means you loose some cars.  The cars come out over the space of 5-10min, a constant stream. After the gas station, halting is not perfectly easy but doable.

  Got there by bus from Zadar from the main bus station. It was bus number 4 but these things change over time. Just get to the main bus station and I strongly believe you will manage.

  Direction--->everywhere
  Slow cars and vans from the ships/cruises are about to start their journey, most of them smiled or waved at me. Also those driving from "parking north" (opposite the ship i was in) pass by here. As less long-range drivers and tourists pass by there, I don't think the yellow northern spot on this hitch-map could be more strategic.
  If the lane on the right is closed, you can stand and wait. Just be respectful of traffic and police will tell you nothing. Some tourists asked me for info and wished me good luck.
  Nearby buses regularly connect the train station. 9:30am to Vatican and Rome.
  A very young guy took me to Rome after 2h when i hid my sign to Rimini, however i could have waited longer for a further ride.

  Headed north. Not the best spot in the world, but far from the worst. Drivers slow down for the bend and have good enough time to see you and there's enough room to safely pull over on either side of the road. Majority of people going north take this route out of town. 

  Waited 4 hours, for a total of 10 hours over 2 days trying to get out of this town. By some miracle the coolest Dutch woman ever came by and stopped for us and drove us all the way to Perpignan, saving us from this hitchhiking hell they call Spain. We got very very lucky. Save your sanity and take a bus or rideshare with BlaBlaCar or fly out of the country. Hitchhiking Spain is a nightmare. If you want to make more than 50km a day and not wait 3+ hours every time, you gotta hit it lucky with a non-spaniard.

  Not the best spot but not sure where else you should go. It gets the job done eventually. A lot of cars on 3 lanes and they're going very fast. The gas station is very quiet so getting cars from there is of no use. Waited for almost 2 hours as a solo guy, sunday 6pm until a ride to Györ. Tried sign and no sign.

  Spot wasn’t good as we hope. We want be behind near McDonald where you can catch a lot of people- cars are going from parking lot slow and you can make good eye contact. One hitchhiker was there before us so we must go to gas station orlena 100 m away. And we got lucky after 1,5 h waiting stopt a really nice guy. And cars are here going fast.

  Great roundabout with places to stop in all directions, and a few gas stations around to resupply snacks or equipment.

  Gordon was on his seventies but still working, on his way for a 12-hour shift as an engineer. He didn't talk a lot, but was keen to help me and show me pictures of this valley where he grew up. He does the route almost daily, chances you could catch a ride with him too !

  After coming back from a horse riding track at Songkul, I was trying to hitch westwards to Karakol. Definitely a remote area with only a few villages around. Best chances are probably trucks which also gave me a ride to Balyktschy from where I continued. At this point is enough space for cars to stop and also a bus station for the Marshrutkas. All in all possible but some patience needed but more traffic than expected

  Gas station with few people stopping and even fewer car heading north on 20, easy to hitchhike both at the same time. 

  I received $12 in total from people going to the drive-thru. People were quite nice and friendly, just hard to get a ride.

  A girl who passed me when I started came back to give me a ride as she was about to take one herself to chill from her studies.

  A bus stop, good visibility and enough space even for a lorry to stop. Much closer there is a petrol station, but it's on a curve with almost no space to stop, so I think this place is better and worth the extra 20 minutes walk.

  Not the best spot, especially when it's late. It has a small parking lane. When you're earlier there, you have more chances to catch tourists, they are parking there for visiting the highest mountain.
  Be prepared, sometimes it's very cold up there! Tramped there 4 times.

  I have hitchhiked from here 3 times and have never waited longer than 5 minutes(even with multiple people).
  Hitchhiking is so engrained in the culture here that it's almost weird to even contemplate taking a bus somewhere. My only advice is always announce that you don't want to pay before getting in as sometimes they will try and pretend they are a taxi service 💅

  On her way home a teacher gave us both a lift to Taufkirchen. The spot is easy to see and easy to park. However, as the cars drive uphill, you can also be overlooked as a hitchhiker. The sunlight can dazzle the drivers. The spot where she dropped us was quite bad, because it was in the center of Taufkirchen and we had to walk far to get the next lift.

  Likely you will be asked for money by some drivers or tourists mini buses, but it's also possible to hitchhike to Koman. I was taken by camping owner from Koman - Marco, great man. He asked me for coffee and raki in nice place on the way. Since most people here are living off tourism, of course I stayed in a tent at Marco's camping and he charged me for that... 2 euro. I paid normal price in his restaurant at least. So I advise to reject paid transport offers, but if you are taken by someone, it will be good to use their tourist business if they have one.

  Great spot, but hard to reach! The spot itself is super efficient to hitch hike north on road 151 (to Mendoza, and before to San Rafael). If you stay on road 51 it is really easy to go far, huge traffic and lot of trucks and lot of space for car to stops :)
  To reach it : in 2023 take the colectivos línea 2 from Centro of Neuquén, and take one that goes to Centenario (not all buses of línea 2 are going there). Ask the driver to leave you at a stop where you can take another bus that will take you to Vista Alegre Norte. Then it is one of the last stops, and 20mns of walk. Count 1h30 at least.

  This is a shortcut to go west (ClermontF, Bordeaux), so you don't have to reach Lyon if you're in Villefranche already. Ask to get dropped at péage de Tarare and get into highway. Firstly, i waited at the bus stop next to the roundabout, there's a vending machine. As i was alone and drivers have few seconds to see you, only one stopped within a hour. So i walked 200m towards the trees to get some shadow and a kind couple picked me up after 5'.

  Tried here and gave up, cars go fast and don't have so much space to stop, and most of them drive on the left lane. I had a sign for Innsbruck but it was probably too small for drivers to read it. I changed plans and went back to Feldkirch to hitch at the bus stop.

  Cars were going a bit too fast and the petrol station is really not busy. Also, cars don't really have a space to stop. Eventually, a nice Spanish guy picked us up and took us to Benalmádena (we made a mistake by writing 'sud' instead of 'sur' on the sign, maybe that was a mistake...)

  There is no perfect spot for cars to stop, in fact several drivers would have stopped but motioned that they had no room. At times with decent traffic, maybe stand before this roundabout at the last bust stop in Vulcaneşti. However, this spot catches traffic coming from different directions, which is what i needed because it was getting late and there weren’t many cars on the road. Got a ride from a Moldovan who lived most of his life in my home state of California. What are the chances! ask and the road shall provide

  Quite a lot of traffic Wednesday around 10:15 in the morning. Got a ride to the gas station at the A3 before Frankfurt after around 20 minutes.

  Went hiking through the woods (which is apparently a minefield, but got marked paths, signs saying you shouldn't stray off the paths. The fence around the gas station is around 2m, probably not too difficult to climb, but is pointy on the top, and it looks fairly difficult to climb over and look casual.

  There's is a loose down corner on the fence right before the station, so if one happen to be a very small dog or a cat that could also work. I think the best place to climb over is on the side  before the station, it's a bit more hidden and clearly a lot of people have climbed over there before.

  Just after the zebra. Plenty of traffic, plenty of cars stopping but not too many were heading west towards Switzerland. Many were local, going to Germany or Italy. Sign probably helps here. Eventually got a ride from a lovely couple (and a place to sleep) near the Swiss border.

  Worst place to ask for a ride to Budapest, a lot of people going to Vienna. Besides that the owner of the gas station is completely against hitchhiking, he tried to kick us by calling the police and we almost got into serious trouble. Avoid this gas station, only seems a good option if you’re going to Vienna but still I believe tha there are better places

Li ankaŭ provis helpi nin; ni provis kun li antaŭ la vendejo dum kelkaj minutoj, poste invitis lin provi nian metodon ĉe la elirejo de la benzinstacio, sed mi kredas, ke la manko de komunikado kun preterpasantoj senkuraĝigis lin, kaj li decidis preni la buson.

  Great spot. Hitchhike at the little turn off from the roundabout. On the side if the road is better, the island would be ideal since i saw multiple Geneva plates go the roundabout instead of the turnoff but theres no realistic way for them to stop at the roundabout. The turnoff is brilliant for stopping.

  One male 40+, with a sign "Stockholm", one big and one small backpacks, rainy day.
  A bus stop, good visibility and enough space even for a lorry to stop. Not very busy road, a few cars per minut.
  I waited only 20 minutes. The fact that I was wearing a t-shirt with a big Polish emblem helped me loooads. The lorry driver who stopy was Polish. He took me to the border, where I quicky got a ride from an anothy Polish truck driver to Stockholm. I'm not sure how long I'd have to wait if I didn't have the t-shirt.
  The place is a bit far from the Oslo centre, but about half an hour walk is a decent size park-forest where I pitched a tent for a night.

  Though there are not many cars going to UK here, at least there are some. At the next gas station there was one car in the first hour, that is it.
  So, even if it seems bad, don't get tempted to go one gas station further. You'll regret it.

  It's just after an intersection with LOTS of traffic funneling in the north direction. You can talk to the drivers at the station, or you can stand at the entrance with a sign/thumb. I got my ride by asking a driver directly, and I know he would otherwise not have taken me because he drove right past me into the gas station. He was driving to Grünstadt, but he actually took a detour to drop me directly at my destination, Heidelberg!

  A couple (boy + girl). We were trying to get to Zadar, so we had a sign for zadar but also Senj, because that's where a lot of locals go. We got very lucky because we got picked up by an amazing guy who was going all the way to zadar and he even bought us ice-cream on the way and took us all the way to our campsite. shout out to Niko!

  There is a stop Light, where cars nee to stop, so you can throw your thumb out and walk along the cars to wait for a positive reaction. Just by the stoplight is also a big paper bin, where you can take some cardboard from to make a sign. I Made one direction León, (Bilbao, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Burgos). After around 10 Stoplight phases a guy took me to Arrasate/Mondragon near Vitoria.

  Not a prime spot. The west road going directly onto the motorway is fast with no ideal spot for a car to stop. The north road allows a car to stop though but much less traffic passing on it. My lift did come from the west road and pulled just off the road onto the grass so not entirely impossible just inconvenient.

  Walked form the nearest station in theory it's not a bad place to hitch out from headed west, I flew a sign until a bus driver with an empty bus smoki g a cigarette asked me if hamamatsu would be good enough , and I ended up there where granted I couldnt get a ride before sundown , but still it resulted in a nice week of beach bumming before I went back to tokyo. There is a cart with cardboard behind the convenience store you can use to make a sign. For best results stand on the manhole cover towards the exit lanes closest to the station as people with animals or smokers will often Inquire upon your situation as was my case.

  Really good spot as the road coming out of the border checkpoint is a bit dodgy so people have to slow down. Space for them to stop in the taxi rank. Most trucks will turn left to the industrial estate at the first intersection so go for cars. Was here late in the evening but don’t think there would be shade.

  Shortcut to Kasritskali, dirt road unknown to Google Maps, suggested by people in the last shop of Kvemo Kedi (next to Caravan Camping, see Google Maps). It's wiser to start walking and find a car on the way.
  I waited here one hour and hitchhiked to both this (1car/10minutes) and the main road going southeast (1 car/5minutes). Seems like everyone stops nearby as 3 cars tried to help me. Finally, a turkish speaking lady said i should be very lucky to find someone driving all 8km, so i gave up and went back to the Kvemo Kedi - Tbilisi bus stop, where i laughed with the girl in the shop and took it at 2:30pm after one more hour without rides. Minibus departs also 8:30pm and it can make you catch the coincidence from Dedoplis to Kasritskali at 3:30pm. The driver stopped a truck for me at the roundabout down in the plan - see my other pins 📍

  I'm going to preface this story with the fact that I got extremely lucky. 

  After finally escaping Montserrat, the man who I got a lift from absolutely refused to let me off at the service station, despite how many times I asked him. Insistently repeating, “Mi pueblo es mejor para ti!” (My town is better for you.)

  Upon arrival in Sallent, I immediately felt like this wasn't going to go very well; it was a very small town, with a single road joining the motorway with hardly any cars on it. I was waiting at the entrance to the roundabout, next to a supermarket, which unfortunately meant that any car actually using the road, was more than likely going to pull into the car park instead to do their shopping. Time wore on, and in all the time I was there, not a single car pulled onto the exit roundabout. I thought I was stuck. 
  As per usual in the world of hitchhiking, when it looks like you're stranded, one of two things always happens. Either you get a good night's sleep and try again, or your saviour magically appears for the most random reason imaginable. In my case, it was the second option.

  As I was desperately trying to thumb a lift from any of the Saturday evening shoppers, I hear the magic words from across the car park: “Donde vas?” (where are you going?)
  A couple in a camper van from Valencia were driving into the mountains to escape the heatwave, but their van had no air conditioning. They had decided to pull off of the motorway to buy ice to put in front of their fans in the van! And just like that I was saved, and bound for Puigcerda.

  I didn't think I'd be leaving Sallent until the next day, so for that, Jordi and Claudia, I am incredibly grateful.

  We walked from city center to here. It was only 1,5km from our hotel. This is the best spot as it is the exit to every road going towards Ruteng. 

  It took us 15 minutes to hop on the back of a truck and we went straight from Labuan Bajo to Ruteng.

  Be aware that many cars and mini vans will stop to offer you a shared taxi service. That is how it works for locals, they “hitchhike” and pay what the driver ask. So just have your google translator ready with the explanation. 

  The road was good, very curvy and a bit slow. Indonesian people are awesome!!

  Same story as my previous spot. There are only a few cars on this road, but they usually travel long distances. You can hide under a gas station roof in case of rain, as I did. In case you need a place to sleep, there is an emergency Laavu (shelter) nearby. There is a large place to stop, and you can be seen clearly.

  Great spot for going north to Amsterdam, and okay spot to get west to Rotterdam.
  Unfortunately the staff of the gas station told me I can't ask drivers for a lift at the gas station itself, so I had to resort to using a sign on the exit of the parking lot. A bit annoying, as the gas station had lots of cars coming through.
  I the end, I didn't wait too long and finally found somebody who drove me close to Rotterdam.

  I was going to Gdansk, but this is only a local trafic, and I got only a 20km ride to Łęczyca
  A man who give me this short ride, explained, that if I'm targeting the north, I should try to find a spot at Olechów DW713/A1, as this is a default route from Łódź toward the sea-shore.

  There weren't a lot of cars but I got a lift offer every 20 minutes further down the road to the entry of the N49. 

  I was aiming for the E34/Antwerp and none of them headed down the E34. I was told the entry of the N49 doesn't have a lot of good spots to stand in but have no evidence of that.
   Might be a victim of my rigidity, or maybe I made the right call not getting stranded at the entry of the N49. We will never know.

  Also signal here is bad so download GMaps beforehand.

  I just landed in Geneva Airport and tried to get BlaBlaBus to Grenoble, but it got canceled :/

  So I just found this spot on Google maps and decided to give it a try. There's enough space for cars to pull over, but not for trucks. And the road turns directly to the highway.

  A lot of French drivers, who work in Geneva and live in France go this way. Took some time but got a great company on the way and it was easier once in France.

  I was there between 17h30 and 18h30 with a Pannel for Worgl/ Kufstein, but despite the fact that everybody go back in their house after work and hundred of cars cause its the entry for all the highways in all direction, I only managed to get a 30km ride after 1h of waiting. The spot is just after a turn so be careful of the cars that can arrive fast in the corner. Maybe not the best hitchpoint on that road that offers plenty of other spots not far (gas sation and other bus stop) but for sure you will have cars that stop.

  To reach this spot, you need to take the subway/bus to Argoulets and then take the bus 68 (towards Castelmaurou) and stop at D59. Then, you have to cross the toll booth to reach the other side and wait (with a thumbs up) just before the rest area.

  Worst place in France. Cholet towards Poitiers is the worst ride i never did in France, i was there quite a lot of time but now i take BlaBlaCar to Bressuire cause here you will wait 30min if you're lucky, but it will easy go to 1 hour, my worse is 2h30 here, i know girls who waited more than 2h before give up here, and a guy who waited 4 hours.
  The spot is not great but it is Ok to park, the problem is there are too much cars and most of them goes to Cholet center, maybe Nantes, La roche but not to Poitiers. So you're aiming to only a few cars in the whole lot
  Moreover there are 2 entries to the national road on the same roudabout...

  Walked from two previous unsuccessful spots (got dropped on the wrong side of town and had to take a tram) and was picked up immediately. I should have been more selective because the ride didn't take me very far. I was just excited to get out of the sun and into an air conditioned car. I think this would be a good spot for going northeast out of town.

  A good spot… but a bad spot.

  I waited for over two hours in the direct sunlight in a heatwave for a ride to Andorra. In the end, a fisherman gave me a ride to the border, where I proceeded to walk through. 
  After waiting for an hour on the other side to no avail, I decided to go on foot. The blistering sun suddenly changed into a powerful rainstorm, the same storm the next day would go on to completely flood Andorra la Vella. Look what we've done to our environment.

  I waited out the worst of the rain in the roadside McDonald's on the outskirts of Sant Julia; this would prove redundant, as soon as I started walking, the rains returned and soaked me through to my skin. In the end I took a bus, and got a bed in a cheap, albeit empty, hostel in La Massana. The next morning, fearing the return of the rain, I got straight on the bus to El Pas De La Casa and the French border with a Belorussian family on holiday.

  Andorra was certainly gorgeous, and cheap, but definitely a place to come with a car. It would also help to be better prepared for hiking than someone who has just come from the Valencian interior in a heatwave, and who doesn't even have proper shoes.

  You can come here by bus 4 or 10 from the station, Parc Expo drop-off bus stop. I came here by bus 10 from Saint Sylvain d'Anjou, jumped onto the empty road linking the service stations on the bridge, waited 1.5 hour sitting behind truck parking where cars depart, gave up, took a train to avoid being late in Nantes.
   Drivers smiled and showed interest at picking up, however no one really even stopped. Despite my unlucky experience, it looks like a good spot, easier to reach than the toll in the west nearby Saint-Jean de Linières.

  Very easy spot to leave Pesaro without going far away. I started hitchhiking here to play music in the streets of Rimini recently and got 5 rides in less than 10 minutes - especially in the mid-afternoon with less traffic. A lady even turned back at the roundabout to pick me up in the morning. They averagely dropped me in Cattolica or Misano as furthest.
  Compared to drivers in next towns, people here are more smiley, reactive and interested in conversation. Still, they'll go out of their way, like a girl who drove 30 more kms just to exchange ideas.
  Come here by bus 30, 130, 14 (direct) or CS (10 minutes walk).

  Arriving here from central Armenia is easy and fun - check the spot in Areni. Leaving to anywhere up north can take long time! I did it 2 years ago from Iran and got stuck in Lehvaz village of Meghri, where a farmer gave me a couch and a truck took me to Kapan in the morning. I did it again during a long exploration of the country this week and got a ride to Meghri after 2 hours, waited 2 hours in the evening, camped and waited 6 hours in the morning. I also walked up to Lehvaz, it is a better spot than Meghri.
  It was already my 60th day in Armenia, been to all directions except of remote villages in Syunik and northwest. So i can say Agarak is hard to leave, unless you speak Farsi or Russian so you can approach drivers easily.
  Kapan is easy to leave. I waited 5 minutes. Good luck

  So I was going down do Kyushu, idk how the other people got to this station, maybe they got dropped off there, but I had to pass a trail full of spiders and webs and then jump a fence to enter 💀 the fence is rather easy to jump but you need a stick to clear all the spiders, kinda felt like some Indiana Jones type of shit, so be prepared. Unless you’re doing it on 8th of September 2024 then I cleared all the creatures on that trail. 
  Speaking of the spot itself, I was holding a Fukuoka sign, Caucasian male slightly tanned wearing an Osaka cap and probably 3 spider families on my backpack. First car stopped (approx 10 seconds of hitchhiking) going all the way to Nagasaki, so a win is a win.
  You can actually watch me getting to the SA on my yt channel Polyglot Abroad if you want to see what getting there is like.

  Extremely difficult spot, despite so many cars stopping for gas and food. Had to hitchhike 3x from here and once it was a nice truck driver who finally invited me after standing for 5h, the other times, after 3h+ it wad just someone who drove me to a better spot.

  Decent spot for those poor souls stranded in the countryside headed in the direction of Rodez/Albi/Toulouse, would be however rather awkward for going in the opposite direction. In our experience, the first car passing stopped for us, taking us forward to Rieupeyroux, the next village, a perfect getting out point for those unfortunate enough to be abandoned here.

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

  I didn’t make it easy for people to stop for me: my sign said Lugang (which was quite far from here and very precise), this road has quite a lot of traffic, and there were constructions happening, rendering it sometimes hard to hitchhike while there’s a truck backing in front of me. A lady on her motorcycle still managed to bring me more west, which greatly helped me. She offered to host me if I didn’t make it to Lugang tonight

I hitchiked there during more than an hour but no one stopped. There’s a traffic light so I went to see directly people and finally a man accepted to take me, but he was not going far away so I got stuck in a village.
  I’m sad to say I don’t recomment hitchiking in the Madrid region nowadays, better use the famous car sharing app.

  As I was looking for the best spot to have a shelter for the rain, this disfigured woman in her car makes me a sign to come closer. 

  She got me in the next house who was crappy & full of rubbish as hell (def strange folks in the area) to present to friends she was visiting. Asked me to help to move a dresser from another house before giving me a ride all the way to Eureka, CA.

  After the dresser and other misc. expeditions in the area, we started driving South. 
  Reaching Lincoln City at night, she told me she actually wanted to visit her boyfriend and decided to drop me there. She apologized and ended up getting me a night at the motel.

  Later on, I heard from the hall guy that she has been disfigured after being shot by a farmer who found her stealing. 
  However, she was nice with me, offered to pick me up again if she was seeing me on the road the next day, offered me her change from the motel's purchase and told me her encounter stories with Big Foot & potential werewolves.

We had a sign that said "south", but when we changed it to "Stockholm", someone stopped immediately and could take us most of the way there.

  There is no place for cars to stop on the intersection (to Henningsvaer, south east from here) so i decided to walk to this place. Plenty of space to stop, cars see you from far away. After 30 minutes of waiting got a ride to Lenkes from a nice Norwegian guy.

  Very chill rest-area. Good if your previous lift stop in sundsvall ans you want to find another lift to go further south. (North could work on the other side).
  Few trucs and car. No gasstation. Nice picnic table... Not that many people. I just ask everyone comming by :)

  The border is shit. Long waiting (but walkable, waiting trucks will offer food and coffee which is nice). Nobody stopped for me, Truck driver are annoyed by the 12h waiting time barely any cars (saturday evening). Police harassed me and demanded the passport ‚fast fast‘.

  The place seems good to hitchhike but yet I waited a long moment before I was driven to a highway gas station about 20km from there. Lots of place to stop but apparently didn't work so good. 
  Bus to get there from center of Bordeaux is 31 (also may connect with Tram B), and easy to access. Only issue is that the bus stop is just before both directions for the highway, so probably many people go the other direction.
  Also (and finally), I had a sign saying "España", which might have been too ambitious, Bayonne/Arcachon probably makes it more realistic

Very easy to access from Arras as well, just follow the maps to the service station, there is a fence around the service station, but its either easily climbable or the gate is open (or can be opened).

  Towards Riga, but on a pretty big corner so cars are cautious and during evening no lights, the spot at the railroad crossing is probably way better, as well as using the crossroad to go to Dobele, but here I'd estimate you'd need to wait at least a hour.

  nice gas station! At the dressing there are tables where you can eat and relax and if you stop in the summer can even sleep! We were thrown here at about 6 pm and by night we could not find the car, although we went to ask almost everyone, although in the morning (from 6 to 7) we were found to Dyorthmund. Most cars went to Amsterdam, some to Belgium. This is a good spot because everyone goes somewhere far away from Hanover's license plates. In general, the drivers of cars and trucks rest in the parking lot, many people can be asked

  The least worst place to get to PARIS/LE MANS
  Getting to Paris from Rennes is a real challenge because there's no good place to hitchhike. I put up a "PEAGE LA GRAVELLE" sign and someone picked me up after 1 hour. 
  Position yourself on the roundabout before the exit to the ring road, there's plenty of room to stop.
  Not very accessible by public transport, but still better than other roundabouts.
  Info: I'm a young man of 23.

  So, good and bad news, I start with a bad one.

  This road mostly has truck drivers, but the problem with them is that, they are extra paranoid about backpacks and that you may have something illegal with you, I had few truck drivers stop for me, but when they saw my backpack, they were just saying "no" and driving away.

  So I would suggest to focus on hitchhiking cars, even if it means to step on the highway directly so they can see you better.

  Waited for almost 2 hours when it was getting dark, a nice man going to Riyadh stopped by me! And once again, it was a nice experience. He invited me to visit his village and eat food there at his family place, so just sit and enjoy the hospitality. Also because we were driving in a night time he allowed me to sleep in the back, so I came to Riyadh well rested(it's been ~5 hours ride, so was a long nap) and when we arrived he hosted me at his friend's place because I had no hostel or anywhere to go.

  Locals are very very nice. I've never been to other country where it would be this easy to travel hitchhiking. People make this experience unforgettable.

  I walked to the toll gate first, but the police politely told me to go here because cars are not allowed to stop at the toll gate. The problem here is that there is a big crossing right before the highway starts and you're standing right next to the right lane, everybody going on the highway is already on the left lines... around 100 taxis stopped and only two private cars that weren't going into my direction but offered to drive me for a huge amount of money.

  If you are going south and get offered a ride only to Mullhouse it's probably better to reject the offer and wait for longer ride, since there are not such places like this one to wait at.

  Never heard back from this, but I end up having a ride from Valory. Full of energy, she always has a story to tell and used to pick up people!
  At first, she saw me and give me a huge bag of cereals and left to bring me back a book.
  When she came back we chatted a bit and she then offered me to bring me to Pocatello.
  On the way there, we end visiting the Chicken Soup Hot Springs (free!) and the Chesterfield Ghost Town.
  She ended up dropping me at the Shoshone Casino where she got me a room and dinner thanks to vouchers she has. Ultimately, she taught me how to gamble.


  Seems a good place to go to UT, as apparently people come from there to play the lottery

  Got dropped the day before, close to nighttime. 
  Tried to get a ride to keep heading South but couldn't get anyone, only people going North or locals.

  At the Pilot gas station, they would let me ask for rides outside, but when I tried to set up a sign inside while having a snack, I got ask rudely to take it off. At AC&T, They threatened to call the cops. 
  Most people I ask for rides were very nice tho.

  End up spending the night in the woods.

  In the morning, a local got me breakfast at McDonald's.

  Finally got a ride with a sign on the ramp from a North Carolina man who was looking to tow his car back home. We spent the day together finding a way to do it and he ended up dropping me at a friend's house in VA.

  This whole line of grass should be fairly good, as people can stop at the gas station. We chose to stand quite far up in the shade of a single tree, but on less scorching days, standing closer to gas station is probably better, so you don't have to run back to talk to driver.

  I got up super early, whipped out a sign saying kosovo and stood by this nice slow traffic packed highway with good visibility, a big smile and a ton of space to pullover, and NOBODY STOPPED??? One guy did pullover but wouldnt talk to me, he just looked at me dumbly, rubbed his fingers wanting money and drove off. I also had one A hole who did the fake pullover then acellerate off laughing like a total twat. I changed spots and got picked up eventually, but again, 3 hours in a good spot with tons of slow traffic is ridiculous. Hopefully it'll be better for you.

  We tried it with a sign at the end of the gas station, but it was too late and it was a thursday evening, so not a lot of cars. After 1 hour of trying we asked a croatian couple to give us a ride and they did, all the way to Rijeka. Also a tip: if you want to sleep in Rijeka, try the beach. definitely the best spot. The one we slept on is the Glavanovo beach, there is a lot of stairs to get there so no poeple want to go there at night and you have your own personal shower and swimming pool in the morning! Also locals don't care about people sleeping on the beach.

  Good spot to spend the night though, if you walk out of the station you have houses closeby where you can ask to be hosted (the first one on the left opened their wood storage for me and I slept on the floor), or the beach where I was told you can put up your tent.

  Chaotic with multiple lanes, relatively high speed and quite some busses. Annoying spot to deal with, although could be used when traffik is more quiet or at a potentially better time of the day.

  Just do not stand under the "emergency stops only" sighn, but on the road. People will stop on red and they will have more time to see you. That how I actually got a ride from there.

  Huge place to stop (with a no-way street) and people are going really slow at the exit of the roundabout. We got a ride to the petrol station on the A10 towards Lisbon.

  Best spot around, I had a sign saying Monte Negro, but not too many people, even who went there were willing to stop. Good traffic though, so I in the end found someone (they needed to convince me that they are not taxi and I needed to convince them that I am not looking for a taxi 😅)

  Had myself dropped off outside of Stolac for easier hitching. There are solid places to hitchhike in both direction along the road, but it's pretty isolated there, so I would only recommend going there when it's still long time till sunset.

  First (Turkish) truck driver I asked took me to the border (due to the long truck queue it was faster to walk the rest instead of going with him into Hungary.

  Lots of travelers to Spain. Just ask people at the petrol station. There were a bunch of other hitchhikers there but my friend and I found a ride first because we approached people and asked. The ride got us outside Perpignan

  Right after the intersection, great spot for going north. Cars go slower after the lights and there is heaps of space for pulling up. I stayed a bit after the abandoned police station. Got a ride to Chiang Mai with a sign in Thai in 20 minutes.There is another spot on the hitchmap next to 7/11 but if you hitch during the day this spot after the intersection is much better.

  Good spot in general, but you have to talk to a lot of people. Perhaps better to just stand with a sign with a road name. Eventually got a lift to Münster, which was nice though. If you want to ask people, go by the public bathrooms and gas pumps. If using sign, stand by the exit so everyone will pass you!

  Busy spot but very easy for a car to stop. I got a short ride to a very inconvenient village - Troyan. I feel like I should have waited longer for someone going a longer distance. Ended up having to stitch my journey from multiple 5-10km rides from bad spots in small places.

  There’s a garden on the car entrance side near the roundabout. An adequate spot for cars to stop. A couple cars almost stopped or stopped to tell us they wouldn’t/couldn’t take us?? Border patrol gave us hitching advice, but police arrived later and moved us on. Would likely have been successful if we waited long enough but the last foot ferry was to leave soon, it was getting dark and morale was low. Foot ticket to Calais

  Waited for around 30 minutes at midnight after this some guy came and said that I'll never get a ride here at this time. Ten minutes after it a truck stops, i miss it but the truck that was immediately after the 1st one signaled that 1st stoped for me. In the end got a nice hike with decent talks, got dropped out in 5 minutes from my house. And considering that was at 12 and hitchhiking was my only option to get home for 5 more hours, that one hell of a lucky one.

  A guy and a girl on a Sunday at noon without a sign. I don't see where the other person hitchhiked here, there is no place in the roundabout. There is a lot of traffix though, so we tried at the exit of the gas station; even though not a lot of people pass though the exit, at least we could also hitchhike the people in the roundabout. Eventually someone stopped - very unsafely - in the roundabout and brought us a bit north of the German border.

  Towards Smiltene, the map is incorrect as they moved the bus stop further and put there a speed camera, so it's 50km/h and a speed camera, therefore high likelyhood of getting a car. Also the sideroads from either direction get cars going to Smiltene/Riga etc so good chance to stop them also, wait times of 10-30 minutes expected

  Mia celo estis atingi Zittau en Germanio por la Tramprennen 2025, kaj mi devis fari tion en 2, eble maksimume 3 tagoj. Mi ne provis petveturi longajn distancojn nuntempe, ĉar plej multaj homoj sur ĉi tiuj vojoj iras tre proksime ĉiuokaze. Mi nur volis rapide atingi pli grandan vojon por koncentriĝi pri la distanco.

  Ĉe ĉi tiu punkto, mi pensas, ke estas pli bone iri iom pli foren, kie estas niĉo antaŭ la vojo sen ŝultrovojo.

  Tried my luck here for 90min towards Lithuania. Although there are many cars passing and there is an unused bus stop to stop safely, no one took me. Seems like a good spot, and also quite a few Lithuanian cars. After 90min, I moved further to the other mentioned spots on this map, and waited 60min more to be picked up.
