  Plenty of vehicles going to Casablanca and Rabat so best to have a sign for your destination. Not much space to pull over but doesn't seem to be a big issue.

  One male 40+, no sign, one big and one small backpacks, sunny day. On my way from Baguio to Laoag.
  There was a place to stop. But it was still town. Lucky the traffic wasn't too busy. After 20 minutes a small lorry stopped, a two guys gave me a lift all the way to Laoag, where I arrived just before the sunset.

  It has a good service area, and a lot of truck.

  But for some reason, just a few cars passing by. No rides for me.
  I wasn't able to ask the truck drivers because I have a dog, so maybe better if you're alone.

  Still a good spot for rides to Liberec/Jablonec. Last time I got a ride on wed. morning (medium traffic) in about 20min using a JBC sign. There is a K+R parking lane with plenty of space. Safe for both drivers and HHs. I think having a sign is a must on this spot. There is a bush nearby if you need to pee :)

  It's a spot I used when going to Montevideo. It's on the turn to some houses. Although it doesn't have a lot of space for cars to stop it's after the turn which a lot of people take. When I tried just after roundabout but it didn't work so good even with a planty of space to stop.

Stand in the middle, from there people coming from both directions can see you, best to write A61 on your sign or not use any sign, as it seemes people passing there don't go very far, but they can still bring you to the peage south of Toulouse

  If you end up near paimo like me (the first lift couldn't take me further) this Petrol station is quite a good spot to get further. There was not a lot of traffic when I was there, but it's near the highway and a lot of the cars are going to Helsinki. You just have to ask the drivers directly, I think just standing there with a sign would take quite long since it's not a very bis petrol station. I got lucky and the first person I asked took me to Helsinki :)
  I General not the best spot, but if a previous lift can't take you any further I would suggest asking them to let you out here

  We reached late at night and decided to wait for the morning to continue hitchhiking. The restaurant is cheap, the food is good and it's open 24h. There's also a 24h service station with cozy sofas to sleep in and power sockets. Buy water at the service station rather than the restaurant, it's 5 times cheaper for the same amount. In the morning a truck driver gave us a lift to Lugoj in Romania, although we could have gone further to Sibiu.
  There are many Romanians passing by, go talk to the people rather than showing your sign. If you're heading to Serbia ask for Szeged, sometimes that's as far as they can take you before the border.

  Much traffic going north (Sweden, Denmark, Norway). I was going back to Norway, asked a Norwegian driver, but his car was full. Then after 10 minutes a girl with a small dog came to me and asked me "Hi, What is your story?". Hehe then she asked me if I had a driving licence and if I drank alcohol that day. So she was going to Gøteborg and then to Stockholm. She asked me if I would like to join her and help her driving to Copenhagen. So I became her driver that day and did it to Copenhagen. 

  At that gas station you should even use "Oslo" sign :))) it is what I exactly did - I had 3 signs, i.e. Bremen, Hamburg, Oslo.

  Motorway service station, not possible to walk to/from.

  Not too trafficed on a Sunday morning in January 2023. Extremely nice staff at the café  gave me a coffee for free and said I could just go inside if I needed to warm up.

  Unfortunately Netflix launched a documentary about a hitchhiker and axmurderer right before I went on a hitchhiking trip, so a lot of people in England said they were to scared to pick me up.

  Two middle-aged women wasn't going my direction but bought me a sandwich. 

  Eventually some guys from Romania going to Leeds picked me up and dropped me off at the station outside Newark-On-Trent. 

  Unfortunately neither of us was completely familiar with the left driving and I was headed towards Lincoln, so I ended up in an inconvenient spot and ended up finding a car into Newark-On-Trent from there, but that was mainly my fault.

  Both E4 and the ramp have little traffic towards south, so it's advisable to try to catch cars from both, long speeding lane and pretty comfortable place for drivers to stop, but due to traffic density expect 20-40 minutes of wait time

  Waited 25min on a Thursday morning at 9AM. There is only one lane - stopping requires putting the car on the lawn, there is very little space. It's very understandable drivers are hesitant. It's not the safest spot. Mostly drivers are reasonably slow. My sign just said "A14"

  A great spot from a technical front. Plenty of visibility, plenty of cars, safe spot to stand, lots of room to pull over. I was hitchhiking with a bicycle, so I understand that it takes a while, but there were TONS of pickups trucks with empty truck beds and it still took almost two hours. Plenty of strange looks and a couple middle fingers later, I eventually got a ride.

  Good spot, we think. It seems to be a regular spot for hitchhikers heading south/southwest/west. We stood by the western on-ramp to the autobahn. Not a lot of traffic, but we also arrived late in the day. P.S. There’s a shower: think about using it you bum!

  We were two guys hitchhiking late in the afternoon/evening. We were signaling to go for Leipzig/Magdeburg. The hour was late in the day, so when a driver offered us a ride to Leipzig we accepted. In hindsight, we should probably have headed straight west towards Magdeburg/Hannover, since it was difficult to plan the route after stopping on the road to, or in, Leipzig. We were heading northwest after Leipzig towards Göttingen/Kassel via the A38. We did however get onto the A38 by sheer luck, the driver’s poor sense of direction and him being a bit creepy (esoteric guy that let us lie in the back of his van). Stay safe out there folks.

  You’ll be fine I’m not sure why the other reviews say it is hard. Turkish people like hitchhikers and it would be easy to go to edirne. Me and 2 other guys waited for a ride to Istanbul and got it rather quickly after dark at 8 pm. Not a bad place to wait a long time, borders are always good and there is a 24 hour gas station to sleep if it gets cold. If you have 2 people put one in the car lane and one in the truck lane. If you are by yourself I think it’s probably similar just go with your gut

  I have hitchhiked at this spot many times. It is my prefered spot when hitching out from Lausanne to any direction. When going East or towards Fribourg or Bern, I usually stay a few meters below the south highway entrance (Dir. Bern), just when the road splits in 3. When hitching West or towards Neuchâtel, I usually stay at the north entrance, as well right when the road splits in 3 again. Usually wait times are around 20-40 minute.

  After trying the highway spot and cannot get any ride, we decided to try from here and got a ride in 20min to Monfalcone. 
  There are lot of people driving but few people stopping. We were taken by a family from Romania.

  We were trying to go toward Zaragoza. Took us a while to realize that wasn't going to happen. Most people are going either to France or Barcelona. Around lunchtime we decided to accept a ride to Barcelona and ask a drop off before the highway exit. But by that time there were almost no cars coming through, and the ones that did weren't going to Barcelona. 
  One truck driver accepted to drive one person, but we were two and wanted to stick together. In the end we took a bus to Figueres and then a train to Barcelona.

  Lots of services. About five miles away from the Framingham MBTA stop but there's a free bus that'll take you most of the way there. Trucks and cars headed west on I-90 or south to I-84. Got picked up in five minutes by a trucker headed west and he dropped me off at a rest stop in CT which is one of the last good places for truckers to stop in the area.

  On a Monday at 1200 I wanted to go north on A7 and waited 1h22 for a ride.There's hardly anyone going north, everybody is going to NRW or The Netherlands or Belgium. 
  If it looks bad, you can also accept offers going south on A7 - and go 30min/50km to the next Serways, 'Ohrenbach West' and walk 2km from the west side of the serways to the east side, 'Ohrenbach Ost'. That would increase your travelling time by 1h20min.
  I recommend being aggressive from the very beginning and having a backup option. With a little less luck this might have taken much longer.
  If there is a smart way that utilises drivers continuing on A3 but eventually gets you north, that would be great. 
  Or,  when coming from the southwest and wanting to go to Hanover/Hamburg, maybe consider the route via Leipzig and Magdeburg

  I wanted to hitchhike towards Diama border crossing but then i saw that bus with people sitting on a roof and i didnt want to miss my chance for this experience especially when the guy said it costs 2000 senegalese francs, which is like 3 euros. At the end of the ride i realised he ment 10000 (fuck french, srsly), but he got 7500 (guess i still overpaid). Well it was a nice safari, i saw acrocodille, monkeys, wild pigs. But also had to pay 200 MRU for the national park as a white skin tax. If you have a chance just hide yourself at the checkpoint. The road was in a good shape and with some trafgic till Keur Macene, then it was an unpaved road with traffic tgat seems mostly consisting of buses and taxis. But you might be lucky.  I'd just be nervous about getting stuck in this area over night cause of the crocodilles.

  A bit confusing place, there is a lot of space so asking around is a challenge and if you wait at the exit with a sign, people are already speeding up making it less likely to stop. People can speed up to the exit from 2 sides and hard to catch both. In the end, I gave up catching trucks and went for cars at the petrol station directly, probably a good decision.

  Really hard place to get to by foot, but nice place to find a car going north, when you are there

  You need to climb a couple fences to get here. When you arrive at Settebagni(possible to blackride bus from Rome), go north-east to the tip of the town, and cross through some allotments, to get to the little road leading to a bridge over the highway. On the other sode of the bridge there is a gate, but the fence is ripped open on the right. Go through there and turn right on to the field, and cross it, over to the fence alongside the road. Climb that and follow the highway for a hundred meters, and you’re there!
  We wanted to go to Firenze, but i guy picked us up towards Terni, where we thought we could get a ride to Firenze, but found the truckstop there to be awful. If you’re going to Firenze or further north, wait for a car going there instead of a car going half the way!!

  Great hitch spot! There is even some shade from the trees. Only tricky thing is that there are two lanes, so it can be hard for someone in the far land to pull over fast enough. Good idea to stand at the beginning of the turnout if possible. My ride, who happened to be in the far lane, was so determined to stop for me that he pulled over AFTER the turnout and walked back to get me! I had a sign for Devon, and ended up with a ride to Glastonbury, where I’d been told I should go if possible. Beauty.

  Border guards will not allow you to cross by truck, they will either put you in a military truck or you will be put on a bus heading in the same direction.  Crossing the border at the arc, is done by walking, and at the Kyrgyz side you can get another truck or talk to your previous truck driver to wait for you if possible (what we did).

  I went to that place with the Bus because I thought it might be the best Spot for hitchhiking to Bolzano. This might not be false but directly at the Spot is a big sign wich says "no autostop" . One police car was also driving next to me, but they didnt do anything. I still tried to get a ride there but the cars were a little bit to fast and had no really good Option to stop. Furthermore there was absolutly no shadow and it was extremly hot so I had to quit hitchhiking after 20-30 minutes..

Also, the people stopping at McDonalds seem to be going in other directions than Amsterdam. My luck came from the direction of the hotel, where someone was heading towards the city.

  Worst case there is a train station close to it, so you can easily get into the city if you are not lucky.

  2ppl, wednesday afternoon. We came from Dundalk, wanting to get a ride towards Limerick. Our strategy was to find a ride from someone going past Dublin to Red Cow (a Luas stop, on the west side of Dublin), take the Luas and then continue from there hitchhiking west to Limerick.

  The strategy worked quite well, as we found that person really soon. We asked around at the entrance of the station.

  Much space to pull over, the cars going not too fast, got a short ride 5 km to the next gas station.
  If you got a ride to Uddevalla/Torp/shopping mall, choose this ramp. There is one more ramp 900 meters to north, but that ramp is not convenient on evenings because of much much less traffic. 
  But this spot is perfect if you're heading north.

  I was there for around 1-2h and refused some cars, which were going only short distance, got offers in both directions (München, Vienna)
  there is a lot of traffic, maybe due to the working day and people driving home after work. there is place for the cars to stop but it is small and usually it is also a bit dangerous for cars to stop, probably some cars would like to stop, but won't do it because it is not absolutely safe
  in the end I just went to the next gas station, 5 minutes away, could be worth trying to get the straight from city centre, the first petrol station to the east (Vienna) ist unfortunately closed, a 2 meters wall to climb, there is a door but is probably closed

  Loin d'être un lieu idéal pour le stop. Peu d'espace le long du rond point et on est en bordure des marécages des landes, avec du sol merdeux et des moustiques partout. J'ai quand même été pris par un informaticien abdiqué devenu gireur de cinéma français vieux. 

  Not a great spot for hitch hiking. Little space on the side of the roundabout. I still ended up getting a ride from a retired informatician, now working in old French cinema.

  Hitched to la messana with the first car - a guy that went to Arinsal. Cars don’t go so fast and can stop at the bus station.
  Good visibility if there are not a lot of cars parking before the bus stop. In my case there was one.
  There’s only the issue that they don’t have much room to stop. There’s a a marked bus stop but that’s it.

  Not great. Cars come in fast and occasional chaos on the crossing leaves many drivers to focus on the traffic, leaving little room to manoeuvre and stop (southbound). Although not a great stretch of road, hitchhiking-while-walking on the road southwards turned out to be more efficient.

  Worst place you can find for hitchhiking. We waited here for more than a day in the summer. Every car is rather full of families returning from vacation or refugees with car from switzerland. We had a cardboard saying Hrvatska, then we switched to Croatia, then we just asked people, but nobody wanted to take us or they had full car. After day on this gas station it seems like spawn for refugees with expensive cars. Stay in Belgrad instead, it's a nice city

  February 15, 2023. We did not get picked up, but got sent away by the border police. Apparently our spot counted as the highway, according to what they said. Eventually we walked back towards the other border crossing road (which is the older one, with less traffic) and got picked up after a while (1 hour+).

  Originally, we agreed for him to drop me off at the junction between 112&113, he ended up pushing until Cape Flattery trail.

  This is the best spot for HH direction Bulgaria !!! It's not another spot better than this in my own opinion! But I hitchhiked on Sunday, very lonely gas station!!! No cars !!! No trucks !! The best way to HH is to have a sing with ***Pirot*** or ***Dimitrovdgra***
  HH to the border can be difficult!!! Because people is afraid about immigrants!! So, better if you look White person hahahaha I am from Colombia and I look very árabe sometimes, but still I am lucky.

  The best advice is to HH from the entrance of the gas station, because also you can catch the cars who is passing on the highway, because if you stay inside the gas station! * without traffic* you can be there for hours !!! 

  To arrive to this gas station you can take the bus Number 4 Ang get out 2 bus stops before the end. And then walk in the highway for 15 minutes and that is ! You will see, use Google maps ! Or just walk from the center if you are too backpacker. 

  Remember that HH IS ABOUT LUCK!!!!

  After crossing border by feet at night, nobody was giving a ride, because at night all the truck drivers are just going to sleep right after crossing border and they go nowhere.

  I slept here in hamak. But find more desolate place to sleep, because there are a lot of dogs around and two of them were barking at me non stop at night until I scared them with a flashlight.

  In the morning it was easy, a little traffic from border, but I asked a car driver near Motel in here to give me a ride to the next city after border.

As it was raining, I sneaked past the ramp, luckily there were no guards watching me. Then I was going from truck to truck asking drivers who were going to the ticket booth to pay. The most lovely Belarusian truck driver took me to Lübeck. Good spot, but can be risky if the guards see you.

  Not a good Spot. I got lucky with a woman, who was passionate about hitchhiking and excited to help. She took me somewhere not so helpfull (El Astillero). The Gasstation 10m away is also no good for traveling to Laredo or beyond. Lots of Local traffic. The day before I spent 2 hours in evening traffic asking many people there, but with no luck.

  Okay so we we arrived at Gare du Lyon at in the evening, got some kebab and continued our journey north. We knew about this station from the hitch south. From gare the lion we took the train to fosses and than a connecting bus to survilliers. The public transport trip took about an hour and costs 7,50 pp. We think it's worth the effort, considering the fact that we had a tent to camp at the station. From survilliers it's about 30 minutes walking through the industrial areas, which was quite scetch in the dark with all the cars racing by. Once we got to the petrol station we found a hole in the fence to enter the station, which was unnessecairy since there was also just a walkway a bit further. There are some nice grassy bushes to camp a bit away from the people on the station. In the morning we started hitching at 9 and after an hour we got a ride from this cool Canadian band all the way to Utrecht. Shout-out to Cola™️ for putting us on the guest list, you guys are great.

  Okay I waited a long time, but I was trying to avoid paris as much as possible to head to britanny. It was on a Sunday morning, 7h to 9h, very few cars. My plans was to head to the station on the A10. Many people going to Paris of course. After 2h20min I got a ride to rennes and further ! noiiiice. Overall I would say that it's a decent station to avoid Paris. MY ADVICE: know your way and don't hesitate to refuse rides. It might sound challenging but it can be definitely worth it, you don't want to be stuck in Paris area.

  This is a well-shaped spot to get into the highway crossing Cilento natural park. Cars drive slowly and do have a lane to stop. Unf it takes a lot as a guy alone. Coastal road is quicker to get picked up.

  Hitchhiking to Chisinau, Moldova.
  Perfect spot to Moldova. Write 'Chisinau' to your sign and just wait here👍 I got a ride pretty close to the capital and the border crossing went easily: they just asked one question about declaration. I'm from Finland so I don't know if that has something to do with it. Actually one of my friends had a problem at the border and he recommended to book a hostel or have some proof that you're really staying in Moldova, so I did that just in case. Good luck to everyone.

  Never get off here! It's too far from E4, most people just go to Uppsala center. Also weird with the need to choose/walk around the four different petrol stations which are not well connected for pedestrians. We gave up and walked the 4km to the gas station closer to E4.

  Big service area with good infrastructure. I used it to get to Nagoya. Quite a big distance on foot from the nearest station but once you are there it's easily accessible from the north side, where you find stairs that lead to the small park of the service area. Traffic wasn't that much but decent enough to get picked up quite fast. At least on Tuesday afternoon.

  Almost no cars going to Germany. Here is how to we got to Germany: walk along the highway for 5 minutes (direction luxembourg) and exit the highway onto the first bridge that comes up. From there walk left and you will reach a train station that will take you to luxembourg for free. From there use your Deutschlandticket for the train to Koblenz.

  Hitchhiking with sign "London M40", the traffic is pretty fast, but I think it's the best spot to get to London, most of the traffic goes that direction. Got 2 cars at once asking me if I wanna go.. wasn't all the way to Central London but was quite close

  We were dropped at the service door. The driver told us that we could ring at the door, say that we were hitch-hiking and they would open the door.
  We tried and were told it was forbidden to hitchhike on the highway.
  So we walked a little past the toll to get to the end of the fence and walked back on the other side until we reached the toilet spot. There a truck driver saw us and offered a ride back to Rennes. So nice!

  The doors were closed with padlocks but the jump over the gate is pretty easy. You can walk along the fence, but the field is much better as there is less vegetation growing.

  We sadly didn’t get picked up, but it was a sunday and we got there fairly late (18:30) we tried several directions, but most people seemed to go local? Not sure. Just one of those days.

  We were trying to reach the lake garda.

  I moved from the spot near the roundabout to the dashed lines in the middle of the road going west and the road going east. It felt like a dodgy place to stand but there was plenty of space for people to stop if they were willing to park illegally. Someone stopped soon - two musicians used to hitchhiking. They agreed it was the only place to hitch from that bit of road. 

  Would recommend going to another place to leave Toulouse!

  Can be a good spot, you need to go up the ramp in front of the highway sign. Behind there is a place for cars to stop. Definitely use a sign with "Utrecht" otherwise local cars will stop. Don't stay at the corner by the traffic lights there is no place to stop. Stand there for like 50 minutes - only one local ride. After going further up the ramp got a ride after around 15 minutes.

  In and of itself probably a good spot for hitchhikers, seeing as many people going far on the highway stop here. However, be aware that there are very few other stops along the A38; if you end up at Querfurt and don’t find a ride to wherever you’re going, you’re going to be stranded. There is nothing within walking distance. I would also avoid going there at night. We were dropped off at 11 in the evening and didn’t end up catching a ride until early morning.

  traffic is not crazy, but this is still my pick of choice to get to england from france. i've had varying luck ranging from rides in 2h to, this time, getting there at 18:30 and only getting a lift at 10:00, with only 4h spent sleeping. i strongly recommend asking around, maybe with a sign.
  not huge amounts of traffic but very solid proportion of UK cars (seasonally dependent). i've found that many english cars can be downright mean and are often full, but don't get discouraged! there are also some nice ones worth waiting for.
  easy enough to give up and go to calais if you're in a rush.

  i was hitchhiking at the entrance of the highway since there were not many cars stopping for petrol, mostly for food/toilets (at least at this time)

  It was madness. Due to low level of water my ferry stopped at this steep gravel road. Buses and cars had quite difficult experience with going up to the road. People from the ferry climbed to road by foot and waited for their buses which were stuck at the river. Since I hadn't got organised transport with ferry guys, obviously I hoped for some opportunity to hitchhike. While everyone was waiting, suddenly one local car showed up from nearby village. I thumbed and of course he stopped and took me. Absolute chaotic.

  they've got plenty of time to size you up coming out of the petrol station but put Bristol or M4 to cast the biggest net if you're going that way. 
  I tried once using this spot for heading north, which is much much harder to do

  Nie polecam Góry Puławskiej jako miejsca do łapania autostopu w kierunku Radomia, stałem w sobotę od godziny 6:40. Na przystanku autobusowym obok remizy strażackiej (~60 minut) (100-200m na prawo od miejsca zaznaczonego na mapie), przy drodze obok zaznaczonego miejsca na mapie (~30 minut) oraz na przystanku w Klikawie (-60 minut). Po tym czasie udało mi się dojechać 10-15km do skrzyżowania na przejściu drogi krajowej i ekspresowej numer 12. Jedna obserwacja odnośnie tego miejsca i okolicy. Z każdym kolejnym miejscem w którym stałem był zauważalny spadek ruchu samochodowego. Wnioski są następujące, wszyscy wcześniej wjeżdżają na drogę ekspresową i nie jeżdżą starą drogą na Radom, a druga część jedzie do ich domów ustawionych wzdłuż drogi.

  Most traffic passing through is crossing the channel. The bus stop allows plenty of space for stopping and you are visible from far away.

  Be aware that the leftmost lane (where cars will be able to access you) is normally a truck lane.

  Locals I spoke to use this spot semi-regularly.

  When crossing, make sure to check with your driver that he/she can add an additional passenger to their ticket. If they booked directly with the ferry company then it shouldn't be an issue. If through an agency, that will be challenging. 

  Also, the UK government is currently rolling out Advance Passenger Information (API) where you'd need to submit personal info. When I went, the API was done when passing through passport controls, but some boat companies are talking about turning it into a pre-submitted form. Make sure you check with the ferry company for the latest info.

  People may take you to Bretteville-sur-Odon where there is a big roundabout and the begining of the road towards Rennes, you can go but the spot is more difficult (not so much room to stop) !

  if youre leaving tuam (direction galway) from this roundabout then hitch on the N83 exit instead of the motorway entrance. cars are more likely to stop for you along this road than the motorway, and its generally safer and youre more likely to get a lift quicker. i got a ride here in two minutes in the middle of november even though it was almost dark.

  On road to the 'Highway' leading south. The highway is not a nice hitchhiking road as it is a collector but also a highway, so you are well advised to try to get longer rides to somewhat bigger cities as standing on the highway is mostly not an option and in small towns there might be barely any traffic which might lead you stuck for a while. But a very good spot nevertheless.

  Not many cars drive up to the lake. Tried in the evening time but had to camp and wait for the morning. Most drivers are probably hired drivers by tourists so expect to pay big money.

  Route 14 - Buenos Aires

  We were two and as we failed we decided to split and after that we find ride in 30-60 minute. 
  Be insist with your tumb to truck drivers. 
  If you are lucky you can find a ride to Capital but most of cars split after Zarate so if you stuck in Zarate intersection ask people for 194 Bus station which is 3500 Pesos. 

  As we experience waiting long time is common in Argentine.

There wasn't really much traffic at all and most signalled to us that they were turning left up to the glacier.

  Here you can hitchike onto the ferry to Bornholm. People pay per car not per person, so it does not cost them anything to bring you onto the ferry. It works best to ask the drivers, however keep an eye out for people working there as they sometimes have an issue with you not being registered on the ferry. Also keep in my the ferry leaves 12;30 at night.

  Gas station with a big parking lot. Not many cars stopping there, but lots of traffic driving between Black Hawk & the Interstate, both ways.
  Straight line who allows visibility, however cars driving fast, less encline to stop.

  Because foot passengers are not allowed on the ferry during the night, I asked drivers in the parking lot if they can take me with them onto the ferry. 
  The good things is that you pay per car and not per passengers in the car, so I didnt have to pay for the ferry at all.

  Towards Värska or Võru, if you have a ride that only takes you to the trainstation area etc, you can try your luck at catching a car on the Põlva roundway, ask for Rosma, if the car is headed to other direction than you, as you would skip Põlva then, decent amount of traffic, a bit uncomfortable for drivers to stop, you can just walk along the road, beware a lot of cars turn to Põlva or to the factories so don't be hesitated by that, i'd only try this at daytime, wait times of 20-60 minutes expected

  Great spot for hitchhiking towards Ostrava, there is a bus stop as well as a petrol station. Consider moving along so that there is enough space for the cars to pull over - there is a red light directly next to the bus stop. Can be good because the drivers see you, but when it's green light the cars pass by quite quickly.

  There's a new highway here, they say it opened 2 months ago (?). İt is not the shortest way from Telavi to Lagodekhi but vehicles driving long distances somehow prefer to take it. Come here on your way to Lagodekhi or opposite way, to Tbilisi, Telavi, Tianeti. Don't wait in Tsnori, that's a big waste of time (i did for 1h30') unless you wanna meet some friendly locals who will see less and less tourists due to Azerbaijani one-way-only border crossing and this new highway.

  A priest picked me up while i was walking by the roundabout and took me straight to Lagodekhi protected area welcome center/ 5lari campsite.

  The path is now blocked by a locked gate, but it’s low and easy to chuck backpack and climb over. There appears to be somebody squatting on the property on the other side. You’ll have to climb another fence to get out to get to the petrol station. It’s chain link with one line of barbed wire, but decrepit and can climb. Sign on petrol station side says private property.

  Easily found a ride to Berlin Mitte with a really kind German couple! Around 13 on a Thursday. 

  A lot of traffic going through, generally looks like a good station. Multiple cars going to Hamburg, Leipzig and further west from Hamburg offered me a ride before I found the one to Berlin. 

  The toilet guard also let me use the loo for free, which I really appreciate 😊

  *excellent* spot. easy to reach by bus. the speed limit is 80km/h, so cars aren't too fast. 
  there's enough space for them to stop (on an exit ramp to an abandoned gas station).
  also, easy and safe to stand next to the motorway, and cars can see you from a distance.

  It is not a good spot. The gas station is just before the junction of two highways and it is kind of messy to find out how to get there and if you can then get back on the highway. Thats why i think not many people stop there. I came in winter on a friday afternoon and there was no people taking gas and just one person in the restaurant. If you wanna go further north you should change at some other spot. If you wanna go to A4 towards Erfurt or Frankfurt you can walk to the rest area on A4. It is called Teufelstal and it is just 4km walk from here. You walk through a pretty nice forest and i think it is likely to be faster to walk there than to wait here.

Not so much traffic, many locals, but it should be possible. If someone going to Castalla, they can drop you there. Really quiet area, nice place to have your picnic or camping. Affordable prices in the gas station shop (for ex 6eggs for 1.65e). There is restaurant as well. Enjoy.

  A good option is to signal with a thumb or a sign at the exit of the gas station, there is a place for cars to stop. And if you see the car going to the gas station, moving there to ask them.

  Very little traffic on this road, especially to Vallapalu/Rannu direction, ended up walking all the way to the main road, with just one car passing in a hour. Outside of the summer or weekends this road gets very little usage, will be all down to the luck but generally a road where if u don't move yourself might end up without a ride for the whole day, wait times of 100+ minutes

  We tried to get to Bydgoszcz or alternatively another place on the way, but we didn't have any luck. We tried both, without and with a sign, in both cases not even a single car stopped. There was one lady who stopped while we had a break, but she only drove a very short distance, not even to Gnozno.

  Most of traffic was local, it's worth to hitch  cars from both the lines, altough it's hard to the cars from second line to stop for you it's not impossible. About 2 hours of waiting (unlucky or bad spot?)

  All the cars that goes to the roadway station will pass next to you, and when they'll go back to the road they will pass next to you again.
  I don't like to stand on the roadway station itself but it might be better, anyway you can decide when you're there, it's really easy to move here :)

  My last ride let me out here and I just couldn't get any further from here.. I waited for over two hours while there was lots of traffic, but there really is no place for a car to stop at all. Also they are kinda distracted going through the roundabout so they don't really notice you. Not a good spot in my opinion. I would rather go a little further away from the highway and try hitchhiking on the nearest bus stop even though there is a little less traffic.

It's true that there isn't any place to stop, but as the slip road has two lanes people where happy to stop in the road. 6 mins and somebody stopped, only going 20k or so, rejected and 15 mins later another person stopped, even in this crap spot.

  Only relatively good thing is that there's a huge mall here where you can buy food, charge your phone etc.
  By far the worst possible hitch hikkng spot I've had the chance to get stranded on.

I was going to Strasbourg and he left me in Haguenau, which is near. Looks like the people who are filling up gas are going into further directions, so it’s important to catch their attention and even go ask them directly.

  Leaving Bangkok
  Take the local old-style bus 68-REG from Bang Lamphu to Samut Sakhon for 28 baht. Pay attention and ask the driver, as there's another bus n. 68 driving within the city. It took 90 minutes on Sunday 1pm, while Maps suggests 180 minutes in weekdays.
  Don't get off at the intercity vans stop close to pier and trains, where most passenger go. (You can see the highway from that bus stop) Wait for the local bus terminal. Walk 5 minutes to the last entrance into the highway. Cars leaving the town are queueing and have time to approach you.

  One male 40+, no sign, one big and one small backpacks, sunny day. On my way from Baguio to Laoag.
  Not much space to stop. But it had shade and good visibility.  There isn't much traffic which helped. 
  After 10 minutes I got the ride to the main road along the coast.

  From Bordeaux, this is a great place to go East. The road goes from Bordeaux to Lyon, and it didn't take too long for me to find a car towards this direction. However, finding a car that goes far might be more up to luck. Your chances of finding a car that crosses the country are high during summer however (with people coming back from vacations).

Fortunatelly it is open nonstop. To our surprise a lot of people came in. One car was full otherwise they would take us with them but after a while two Polish guys took us with them near Slovak borders.

  This is definitely the best way to get to Zadar/Zagreb fast, but you have to wait a long time or be lucky.

  On paper it looks like a good spot to go south because it is just before highway entrance. I struggled to get a car going on A10 on a Thursday morning in summer. There is a lot of taxis, delivery trucks, parisians. Finally, a bus stopped at the traffic light, it was going back to its bus center on N20 (road to Orleans). I decided to take it and found other cars after on N20 to go to Orleans and then catch the highway to Bordeaux. I was alone, with a sign and a small bag.

I could imagine this would be a good spot in the morning when people are going from Mürzzuschlag to Wien or Wiener Neustadt for work but it is still not the best, I would advise to stand before the roundabout where there is a bus stop.
  We, two guys with a sign to Wien, got a stop pretty quickly but were only driven to the neighbouring town from where we had to return back to Mürzzuschlag, because nothing is really there.

  To be honest, avoid this place, if possible. Sweeds are not helpful, and speaking to them usually doesn't help. I only got from here because a Belgian dude came, and I talked to him. Traditional hitchhiking is out of the question here; the cars are fast and almost impossible to stop.  You are far from any useful stuff nearby, and walking anywhere is out of the question. You are at the mercy of someone else if you decide to get off here.

  I wanted to go north-west on the A3, so I should have stopped 1 gas station earlier. Than decided to take a ride to FF airport, but in hindsight I think I should have tried to get to Weiskirchen and cross there...

  From the bus stop its around 30-40min walk. The fence is unclimbable but I was lucky and the door was open! Would suggest to try, even when door is closed, someone might come by and you can ask to be let in. Once inside, its easy to get a lift towards North. Best way out of Bari.

  Loads of traffic and big station. Was a bit hard to chose the right spot to stand as the station is big and cars take different lines.
  First stood at the Gasstation but missed many people going to the restaurant or Parking. Asked Truck drivers but most ejected me Immediately. In the end I went to the restaurant and just asked people there to take me. On a Friday Many Busses stop here so a bus driver took me he had to check with the shool class if they where fine taking me and they where. Even got offered a ride by somebody else from a Bus at the same time but smaller distance.

  Glad to see other comments replicate my experience. 
  The truck driver who dropped us off here said there were going to be a lot of spanish trucks that could take us directly to Spain. We had our hopes up in the beginning, but we slowly lost hope...
  Basically, this is a good spot to go to Geneve. After some hours, we were just trying to go past Lyon into the A6 or A7 highway. Took a long time, but in the end we found a truck driver from Spain who, after a little bit of conversation, became willing to take both of us (a couple) all the way across the border. Lucky! I don't know what I would have done otherwise.

  To be honest, not really great spot. Hitch was not slow by any means, but gas station personal kicked me out, so I had to stand on the parking nearby. One tip to getting here from Brno. Get the train to Brno - Starý Lískovec, from there you must walk to Martina Ševčíka street and just before you cross under highway you need to climb up next to highway on the side of the gas station. The climb is kinda steep, but doable even with large backpack and dress shoes. You need to walk next to highway (BUT BEHIND THE RAILING, THERE IS QUITE A LOT OF SPACE), until you reach the gas station. 
  Take care, stay safe.

  There was very little traffic when I was there, so I waited about 45 minutes until I got a ride to Krakow. The spot is not ideal, since it's directly at the entrance to the highway but I think this is the only spot that makes sense. Cars from both directions can see you, so you can catch really everybody that goes that way. There is no extra place for a car to stop, but since to the low amount of traffic this was no problem when I was here.

  It looks like a great spot to find someone to Salzburg but it took me more than 3 hours to find someone who was going there. Most of the people I asked were going to Munich, not a lot of Austrian stop there, and we've been controled by the police after I was in the car cause it's next to the border. I think the oil is cheaper in Austria so you have probably more people who stop before crossing the border.

  This time there was a construction site along the road where the indicated spot is, so we moved ca. 100m towards Sveaplan and stood in between the traffic lights. A lot of traffic, and well visible spot, but people need to decide fast. We were in the middle of morning traffic but had to wait quite long to get lucky.

  I came from Berlin and wanted to go near Hamburg, but my lift was going to drive to Rostock, so i had to decide between this an the next rest stop before Wittstock. I went here, because this was a quite big one. I waited around 1h before a guy took me all the way to Hamburg. You may have to wait a bit even in easter holidays, but there are many cars getting fuel or people eating burgers.

  After waiting for over 1,5 hours at a different bus stop a few hundred metres down the road and not having luck. I moved to this bus stop. It had more space to stop than the previous one. A bit on a curve, but good visibility.

  Tried both the famous "truck stopping" that was empty at midday as well as the roundabout here, which is just not gonna work, high speeds, very uncomfortable, early april was snow/mud splattered across the side, just ended up taking a farmersroad to a better spot, here i doubt you can get a ride to south

  We stood with a sign ‘Graz’ but only roughly 70% of drivers noticed us and gave their gestures. There is a lot of cars driving directly to the highway direction Vienna and Graz. After roughly an hour or so we changed for a thumb only and a kind girl stopped for us.

  Absolutely terrible spot, we were lucky. Lots of traffic, but cars are going really fast and there is no real place to stop. We had a sign to Valencia, and some guy took us  after 30 minutes to a gas station in that direction. Boy and girl, probably weekday and early evening

  We have waited at VSS crossroad (VSS križovatka) - 1 km to the city center on the same street for almost 2 and a half hours. Then we change to this spot and instantly (in less than half a minute) one Polish trucker stopped and gave us a ride.

  Many cars passing by with Slovenian or other southern licence plates. Wanted to go to Croatia and had a sign which said Ljubljana, got many reactions, but nobody was willing to take us. Later we chanced our sign to Slovenia. Waited really long in the sun, there is no place in the shade. Finally, a Croatian guy took us directly to Zagreb, a perfect place to hhike to the south.

  I posted up on the ramp, at the end of the Jersey barrier. I didn't have to wait very long. There is a big truck stop near by for provisions, and the SFX bus stops just up the road, so this is a good spot for heading east out of the lower mainland.

  Wanted to go South towards Spain, had a sign with A6 / A10 Sud de la France but had to wait pretty long until I found a proper ride. There's a traffic light  and also some place to stop for cars, but most of the people just drove by without stopping, it was hard since many are not going out of town. Still, after 3h I got lucky and found a man that took me 4 hours South and I had no stress, so it was fine :)

  Hitched a truck down to the turn-off for Tash Rabat (15km walk from here but if you're lucky you can get a lift with other visitors). Most of the traffic after At Bashy is trucks heading to the Torugart pass. I asked a car transporter that had stopped just before leaving the town, if you end up sticking your thumb out I'd recommend turning right at the end of this road and try at the petrol station, vehicles are often going too fast to stop after this.

  Entrance of the Icefields Pkwy, cars need a pass to go through this road, it forces them to slow down at the booth and there is room to pull over.

  It is very discouraged to get dropped off along the way, as there is nothing and no signals in 90% during the drive.

  In winter, there is also not many cars and many are full or not going all the way to Jasper. In my first hour, I got two drivers who stopped, but I had to decline the ride.
  Be also prepared to deal with the cold or try your luck at Lake Louise instead !

  After an hour, I went to the booth and asked if I was allowed to hitchhike just after the entrance, mostly because it was sunnier on this side and people would stop in front of me to purchase their ticket. The lady accepted and end up talking about to Julia, my driver. It probably helped convinced her.

  Julia is another adventurer and heart surgeon who planned to go all the way to Jasper while making a few stops to take pictures (Very recommended, a lot of scenic places on the road!)

  I was her first hitchhiker and we became friends along the way.
