  After a while of thumbing we got a ride to Andujar. There is just enough space so people can pull over and by avoiding the petrol station you also catch traffic from Linares unto the highway. The con is that this traffic is regional.

  Couple ~25yo. Not a good spot for stopping, even though there's a small crossing right after it. Decent traffic, cars going slow after the roundabout. Lots of local traffic. Finally got a ride to Giby, just to go past the local traffic.

  2 people, a girl and a boy. We couldn't get out of Vransko from either of the spots, because they're outdated and no one uses the old road anymore. This way people go on the highway so you have a better chance here. Sign to LJ.

  There is a bus stop on the map, but in reality there is no bus stop on this road, so its best to wait here on this intersection, cars can pull over and stop. Was here in the morning, very little traffic but got picked up by German campers going to Honningsvag after 1 hour of waiting.

  Waited for 2 hours with some cars being unable to take us because we were with 3 people. Originally the plan was ulm or Munich. The amazing guy that eventually picked us up went to Lindau via ulm.
  Lindau is a village on lake Constance, the biggest lake in Germany and we decided to go along.

  Towards south, good spot, very good visibility from highway, and the local road drivers go slow that turn from the port, got a car within couple minutes -probably more likely of 20 minutes wait times, decent place to pull over even at winter, and by now all the local cars are gone, so most likely will get a ride to Skelleftea the least

  Wasn't easy to get out of Perth by hitchhiking. You can get here by train + bus + walking. You can also camp in the bush next to the substation and start early. Cars go fast and not much space to pull off. The traffic light down the road is not in your favour. I also tried walking further up the road but it wasn't good either. I reckon here is the best spot as there is a turning lane to the strawberry farm where cars can stop if they want to. Got a short lift just to get me out of here.

  Okay, so this one is a bit tricky. We took the train to Settebagni and tried to cross the bridge to the other side of the Highway, but there are currently construction works so we couldn’t go that way. 

  Our way:
  Go to the Southeast of Settebagni, to a street called „Via S. Quirico D‘Orcia“. From there you go onto the field and walk straight in the direction of the gas station. There is a stripe of trees but you can bypass it from the right. Now you should see a cellphone tower in front of you. If you go along the fence on the left side of the tower there should be a damaged part in the fence where you can jump over really easily. Behind that part of the fence is a small path that leads directly to the gas station. Its a bit steep and covered with blackberries so watch out for thorns. Arrived at the gas station there is a big gate on the left that leads to a tunnel which connects both gas station. You have to jump over it. Even though it is a big gate there a holes to put your feet in so it’s really easy. Follow the path under the tunnel and voila you reached the gas station which leads out of Rome.

  There is good amount of traffic at the gas station and after 20min we got a lift to Perugia.

  I arrived here by bus, because the highway were under construction at Hohenzollern and Berlin-Westend. As I said I want to Hamburg beforehand, a older man told me that this place would be better than those closer to the center of Berlin. After a while I had to realize that this wasn't the best choice, because the cars accelerace fast and have no real option to stop especcially due to the no-stopping-area coming after 500m. At first I just tried it by thumb but after some time I found a piece of paper laying in bush which I used as a sign. A young pair stopped after some time and took me to the Stolper rest stop even though they wanted to go to Berlin Spandau. We talked about the Youtube series called "The Race" which was the reason why they stopped.

  Hitchwiki recommeds this spot for catching a ride towards the A5 Autobahn in order to get further north to Czechia. Do not make the same mistake as us (me and my friend), and try to get a ride from here on SUNDAY!!! Kaufhaus is closed on sunday, very little traffic, the locals who drive here do not like hitchhikes and will treat you like UFO (mostly ingoring you tho), however, miraculously we managed to stop two young fellas in a mercedes after like an hour of suffering and zero hope.

   I hitch very often early in the morning going for  work. Usually takes one car to reach directly to Fort William, cos most locals which are very friendly, go there. That applies in the winter, but waiting time can take longer (5-30 min), cos not much traffic during this time per year. In a summer, traffic is very busy (takes less time to catch a car)

  Note : there is an underpass just before the spot, might be worth trying to reach it from the other side. Crossing the out and on lane before arriving to the spot might be sketchy when there are a lot of people. It would be a pretty long

  A good place if you want to go towards Italy, France and Germany or the Czech Republic. We were heading towards Budapest and we had some difficulties to find someone who was driving in that direction. But a lot can depend on what time you hitchhiking. On the plus side, a lot of trucks and quite a lot of passenger car traffic at the gas station. A good place to stop/accommodate. There is a shower, laundry, hostel.

I accepted one  to Vrbas due to miss communication( idk serbian and the guy didn't speak much english) had to hitchhike in vrbas toll-booth, which there was almost no traffic back to the highway. Luckily the third car passing by was going to Subotica and gave me a ride to the toll-booth right before

  If you want to go to valencia, don’t go through villatobas. From albacete it’ll be easier, but getting to albacete is hard because the towns on the way are tough to hitchike from.

  There’s traffic here, but unfortunately seems to be local. Don’t try to go to villatobas because you’ll be stuck there.
  ASK people here.

  The stuff person at the service station is really nice. He can be helpful.

  If you travel by approaching drivers at fuel stations, this is the place. If you're using only thumbs on the roadside and trying to go north (as I was), stand across the "circunvalacion" (bypass road) from the fuel station, where traffic from both southwest and northeast is funneled into the northward route. This was where I got the most reactions (and eventually a ride), even with the sun at my back. And if you're not using the fuel station to approach drivers, consider accepting a ride that just goes to the rotunda (roundabout) at the north end of town. If you're trying to get to Rio Gallegos, start in the morning - I spent a whole afternoon here and was only able to get to the other side of town. Most drivers start early because it's a long drive, especially in the winter when daylight is short and road conditions can be bad.

After another hour, we gave up and were going to take a bus so we started walking to Nazario Sauro. Luckily a guy was going to Bologna and stoped when he saw us walking. Both the spots we were at seemed good, since there was space to stop, was close enough to the highway and there was a lot of traffic at the time. Maybe it works for smaller distances

  I was asking all people getting fuel, but most people are just living around the neighborhood. And indeed it is a very crowded place, because people around getting there postboxes from there.
  Some few were willing to take me, but were heading north - and I wanted to go south.
  I didn't try it with a sign, but there is no good space for cars to stop at the road.

  I wouldn't try again there - or maybe it just takes much longer waiting time.

  We crossed from Georgia to Russia on a Monday morning in July 2024, then back on a Sunday afternoon. Some things for hitchhikers to note:
  -It can be cold and rainy even in summer, be prepared.
  -Line of cars were backed up on both sides all the way to the borders. It's very far from one border to another, but the traffic was so bad that it was faster to walk. For the love of all that's holy, if the traffic is backed up all the way to customs, WALK!!!! You are SO lucky, you're the only person who is not tied to waiting for a car. On the return trip we stupidly decided to stay with our ride and we spent over 9 hours in the line. Just get out and walk, please.
  -We'd heard you couldn't cross the border walking, but nobody stopped us on the Georgian side. You just need a car to cross customs on the Russian side, after that, say thanks to your ride, and get out and walk.. 
  -There are two tunnels. At the first tunnel we got in a car going to Vladikavkaz, but ended up sitting in line for hours, we should have walked.
  -We ended up getting out and walking after a while, but were stopped within sight of the Russian checkpoint, so we got in another car at the front of the line. Probably saved an hour or two by just getting out and walking ten minutes.
  -If you choose to walk the tunnels, wear a facemask, the pollution inside is quite heavy, but you can cross in 15 minutes or so, so it's doable. Ideally have a flashlight too, as tunnels are quite dim, and there are a lot of broken bottles on the ground. Make sure to walk on the right of traffic against tunnel wall,NOT in the middle, as cheaters cut the line and zoom around very recklessly.
  -Go to the bathroom BEFORE you cross. There are portapoties on the bridge, but they have poop piled up since the time of the tsars.
  -Exchange any money you need before crossing. In Russia, foreign bank cards don't work, and you can only exchange money at banks for very bad rates.

  I would advise against hitchhiking here. Although there were a lot of cars, I waited a long time with a sign "A5 Sens/Troyes". There was a homeless man asking the cars at the traffic light for money, and there was no place for them to stop except there.

  I was feeling tired at the end of a long day on the road, and this spot was exactly what I needed! It was getting late, I arrived around 19:20, but the cool mountain air gave me a new boost of energy to push for Andorra before nightfall.

  This turned into one of my favourite hitchhiking spots of all time. Thanks to an incredibly lucky combination of attributes, you get to thumb a busy road, and a busy supermarket car park exit at the same time, all with ample space to do it.
  In the end, I got a ride from Maria, a Spanish lady picking up supermarket sushi to take home to her husband. She left me at a roadside restaurant, which would be a lovely place to camp…

  Very crappy dirtroad(!) with very low traffic, but people do visit their datchas at the end of the road and if you happen to walk back when they happen to drive by, since their speed is at around 20km/h it is almost guaranteed they would stop and pick you up so therefore you would have a guaranteed ride to either towards Sillamäe or towards Narva, wait times of 20-40 minutes

  Luckily I just passed through with a ride I already had, but it could be a bad place to get stuck overnight in the winter, with sub-freezing temperatures and no public facilities (there are a few houses nearby, in an emergency). Remember that if you're headed south, both the ferry and the later border crossings close later at night (9 or 10).

  Very good spot for getting out of Dunedin to Queenstown. Take a local bus to Caversham shops. From there walk south along South St, just before you get to the motorway lights cross the road and walk on the right hand side of Caversham Place (a small dead end street with residental houses on one side). Just before the end of the street walk accross the grass to the right to get to the motorway and walk a little way up the motorway about 20m to where there is an extra lane. The extra lane 30 metres further is for cars to turn into Burnett st a little further up but it is hardly ever used

  Two guys hitchhiking south to Italy. Most cars stop to eat or get fuel, but many are cars already full (travellers heading south or north. It took (probably more than) 2 hours to get a lift and we had been running around asking people and used a sign. In the end we got lucky though, but most travellers were already full cars (although they were mostly long-distance-travellers).

  Got picked up on the third round of traffic lights on Oak. Not a perfect spot, but like many local rides near UNT, there are many students willing to pick you up on the way home or to school. I got a ride from an Indian couple from Telangana and they offered to take me all the way past the interstate, where they were headed home. There's a little area for a car to pull in near where I hitched, but they just stayed in the street.

  Took me 45 minutes to pass the border.
  Customs asked a bunch of questions, but they didn't check my bag.
  They were concerned if I had adapted gear for the cold. They also asked if I had a place to stay during my time in Canada. Saying I was couchsurfing in Vancouver and didn't have the address yet was enough (Although I had another place with a proper address and proofs that I was expected there.)
  I also had to show I have enough funds for the length of my stay.

  Probably easier to hitchhike directly at the border, but I wanted to walk and as border patrol was not the friendliest, I preferred taking my distances.

  Few cars passed me (On a winter morning, the traffic was more important southbound)  when one finally stopped. Two young adults on their way to Cranbrook. They were nice.

  Busses to China leave from here. You can‘t hitch the border. The last bus of the day goes at 6pm (THIS MIGHT CHANGE). It costs 5000 and tickets can be bought with card. Crossing was easy and took 2-3h (+3h time difference). Be ready to take out all metals from your bag.

  Tried to ask around at this gas station but there was very little traffic, most of it in direction HR anyway. If you’re stuck at this spot, go to the cafe next door, Marian the owner is a super nice guy, we had a good talk. He also suggested in take Blue Line minibus to Herceg Novi  for €1.50, which I ended up doing. This was my last spot in a very unsuccessful attempt for hitchhiking Dubrovnik-Kotor. With more time and patience I am sure it can be done in the offseason, but it certainly isn’t easy.

  The gas station employee even brought me hot food at some point.
  One of them even offer to host me in his AirBNB if I couldn't find a ride.

  Avoid the BP next to it, I got kicked out very fast by the manager.

  My rider first gave me $20 before getting me a ride all the way to Chattanooga, TN. 
  During the ride, he paid for my hotel room so I could keep going with him in the morning, got me fountain drinks and lunch.
  Also got me in touch with froiends of his for later on the trip.

  No maybe once good. Now basically impossible and highly risky. 
  1. Illegal. After zone of highway start. Police is fully legible to disturb you.
  2. Two lanes but the most used lane where 90% of traffic come is right lane, and exactly in this position they change to the right, signalling, and not have time to see you or pull to the side. 
  3. Just local traffic. Sign to Brno, for hour, saw only around 4-5 cars with B registration plates. 95% traffic Praha+suburban. No international 

  Overall bad spot, now not recommended, maybe quick way to get to small neighbourhood if dropped on station. Would suggest going further

  Big wide bus stop right in front of hospital, great for cars to pull over. Two cars stopped in the first 10 minutes, but were only going a few hundred meters, so may be a good place to get out of the city at least. A few cars slowed down to stare at us, then sped back up again. After almost an hour someone took us to our destination 20 min down the road.

  Walked here from Leuven, asked around, two of them were going to Brussels and the third one happened to be a couple living near London, so I got a ride from here through Eurotunnel all the way to north of London. And they ended up being worried that I will get stuck hitchhiking out of the London bubble, so they bought be a crazy expensive train ticket to Manchester, so I got to my friend’s place by the evening! ☺️

  Great spot. You got a gas station and tims in view so people stopping there can get a good look at you and have more time to decide whether to pick you up also good if need some food or water. Got a ride from here early in the morning all the way to St, John's. July 2025.

  YOU CAN‘T GO TO URUMQI FROM HERE
  (might change)

  We stood less than 5min before getting picked up by a solo lady on her way to Korla.

  DON‘T go past this point, there are two issues:

  1. At the drop location: There is a very serious checkpoint. They told us it‘s a military area. While they were very friendld, they informed us, that we can get arrested for 10 days. They forced us to turn around with s driver they stopped. He had to bring us to the next police station in Nalati. 

  2. At the pickup location: Opposite the road there is a big and serious police checkpoint. we did not see it as we came from the rural road. They asked a lot of questions on our way back. The civilian that was forced to take us to the police station helped us explaining the situation. 

   They are building a new highway rn, so passing might be possible in the future. Double check with a police station before trying. They are serious.

  Ha ha ha, what should I say, guys? Last time I wrote that this spot is not convenient, and the next time after 20 mins wait (around 7.45 pm) a car from the main road pulled over. The car was going to Trondheim, my final destination. 
  Maybe I was lucky that day. But as an experienced hitch-hiker I would technically avoid this spot. I suggest Elverum roundabout which is more convenient and all the traffic is the same.

  A good looking spot. A bus stop, cars going downhill.
  I was standing there for over 1,5 hours. 3 cars stopped offering me a ride to the next town (5 kms). But it looks there was not a good spot so I skipped the rides. 
  In the end I moved to the next bus stop, a few hundred metres west. And there I had more luck.

  Not so many cars, but pretty much everyone is going in the direction you want to go, so sooner or later someone will take you. We stood at the very end, where all the little roads joined the onramp. Two cars in one day asked for payment, like blablacar. After about 20 min a Polish man who didnt speak English picked us up to Konin.

  New favorite spot to leave Paris going to anywhere around Rouen, Caen, Mont Saint-Michel, Le Havre, etc... Red light just before the highway entrance with cars having to get passed Morainvilliers gas station on the highway. I tried twice and always got taken on the first try to the gas station. From here just follow gas stations on the highway on your path. Never had to wait more than 10 minutes usually making a stop at Bosgouet gas station right after Rouen to reach further in Normandie or even Saint Malo.
  Really easy to reach by foot, take the train to Poissy then bus 12 and walk.

  While there is (decent) room for cars to stop, terrible spot to go towards Bordeaux or Bayonne. While it clearly allowed to go toward these cities, no one was actually using this exit to go there so there was very little traffic for us to get a lift. Little did we know that we would probably have been luckier on the previous exit closer to Tonnay (33). Don't get dropped that far and prefer highway entrances closer to Tonnay/Rochefort ;)

  Perfect spot, due to road conditions every car has to slow down. It’s a bit out of Luang Prabang so if you’re going north almost everybody will be going in your direction

  Departure spot mainly to north (Fundao, Covilha) and you can also be offered Lisbon as destination, despite indications to it being on the entrance by the other side of the bridge and a more suitable way starts in Castelo Branco Sul (southern highway entrance). After 30 minutes they offered me Lisbon, then i had to wait one more hour to Alcains where a dutch expat dropped me towards the countryside. In case you get stuck in the afternoon you can opt for provincial buses to north by "Quinta da danca" stop 10 minutes away (walk Espanha direction then get down the bridge).

  This is a surprisingly nice spot for something before the border. An open road with ample space to pull into the roadside car park. Lots of French traffic too since a lot of people go to El Pas De La Casa to for cigarettes and alcohol, then turn round and go home.
  The bus here from Andorra la Vella is deceptively long, and surprisingly more expensive than the other routes; so in my case, getting here from La Massana was a proper headache. Andorra's public transport really is nothing to write home about!

  After a short walk and a talk with a very confused supermarket security guard, I was picked up by a mother and daughter from Ukraine, who took me to L'Hospitalet. Sadly, I never got their names…

  This time i entered Iran from Esendere the first time was in Gürbulak. We were two and snow was on the roadsides. We stopped some taxis and that's totally normal. They don't want you to stand in the cold. One of them passed 3 times within 20 minutes, so he finally decided to give us a free ride to the police checkpoint and intersection to Urmia. From there, after a minute a man took us to Urmia and gave us 3$ in toman to pay for 2 bus tickets to Tabriz, he didn't accept anything in change. We had a stunning sunset over Urmia lake, which takes 30 minutes to cross 🌅

  There is an ok place to pullover here and decent traffic, but it was very frustrating. I tried signs saying Tokyo, mt Fuji and gotemba, but people often gave the bs hand gestures saying they where going short distance, even though all cars where going in a useful direction and a short ride would have taken me out of the middle of knowhere and back to civilisation. They don't seem to understand the concept of a partial ride. Fujiyoshida would probably be a better thing to write on your sign, from there there is a good hitch spot to Tokyo.

  Eventually got a ride to fujiyoshida with a nice elderly gentleman who was cool. He didn't entirely understand what Google translate was which made conversation a Challenge.

  Towards Prienai, Kaunas, during daytime use this area where cars turn out from the petrol station, low speeds either way, good visibility and convenient for cars to stop, during nighttime, you have to stay around the entrance of the petrol station as about there the street lights end, wait time of 5-30 minutes to be expected

  So the fence is really difficult to jump over. Some guy let me in but he was mad about it and said something about police. In 5min I took a ride to another similar station, at this time I thought that's good idea, but actually is very difficult to hitchhike on highway and it's likely that police will show up at some point.

  bus stop. your best bet getting out of here is cars coming off the ferry, so you have to walk off and rush if you didn't ask around onboard. otherwise almost nobody drives here, you'd be extremely lucky to catch something. there is a bus going north every hour or two so you can use that!

  Decent enough spot. Cars go slowly and it's close to the highway. The roundabout has two lanes, with most cars only using the inner one, leaving the external lane empty for people to stop. There wasn't much traffic though (December 2024). I ended up waiting for 2 hours with no luck (going south towards Greece). I ended up taking a bus for 440MKD since it was already dark.

  Cars going to Caen, Rennes, Nantes but quite fast because either they come out from a short underpass or they speed out of a roundabout. There is some space for them to stop, but since the ones coming out of the underpass would have to cross the other cars I find it a bit risky for them. I got taken by a hitchhiker after 30 minutes wait and hilding a sign to Rennes, because he said it's an unconvenient spot and he was going to Nantes.

  Maybell offers nothing during the winter. Only restaurant is closed and only one gas station open. Very low traffic.

  Got offered a ride to Rocky Springs, WY after 5', but not my way.

  Despite excellent situation on the only road going through town (great shoulder, visibility and cars slowing down), I walked out to get potential traffic coming from CO 318. Bad idea, as the time of my wait, no cars went my direction coming from this way.

  Got a ride finally by a young Mormon who saw me earlier this morning in Craig. 

  Gave a nice ride, offfered me to do a small detour at Dinosaur Monument for sightseeing, took stop to take pictures.

  I've caught a ride from here to the UK in late December 2023 and again in early March 2024. It works! Although it can take a bit of time to find somebody who is up for braving the ferry and border situation with you... As of March 2024 THERE IS NO DRINKING WATER (unless you want to buy it at petrol station prices) and the staff are really unfriendly.

  We haven’t even finished writing our sign, just randomly waved to some guys. They took us directly to La Jonquera. Seems to be fantastic spot. It is very easy to get there, just use public transportation. We took n23 bus and paid 2,65e for a single ticket. Don’t listen to google maps, you can get to the station by crossing under the bridge. Use satellite from your google maps. Signs saying that camping is forbidden there, but we pitched our tent without any problems. Police even saw us in the morning with a tent. But be careful, maybe we were lucky. We don’t know if it’s safe place or not. 
  Enjoy your baguette in France 🐸🥖

  Cars here are heading towards Merzouga, but the nearby police checkpoint must have scared potential lifts off. My previous truck driver stopped for me again out of sight from the gendarmes. As far as I understand now it is illegal for locals to transport tourists unless they are a registered taxi or tour guide, at least in this region. I was uncomfortable when my driver started taking backroads and hiding me in his cab as we passed through towns. I now know he was looking out for himself and I to get me where I needed to go, but don’t feel the need to continue a lift if you’re uncomfortable. Cheers for the lift though mate

  This is a difficult spot to hitchike from: 

  1) the traffic is moving very fast. 
  2) for cars to see you, you have to stand on the highway and try to signal for them to enter the service area. 
  3) when we were there, very few cars came into the service area. 
  4) it isn't easy to leave the service area. It's an easy place to get stuck with nowhere to go. The nearest alternative spots on the highway are 15-20km away. 

  Me and my hitchhiking friend decided to walk across the fields to the small towns nearby. From there we hitchiked to Ston and took a bus to Dubrovnik for e6.60. 

  Maybe on a busier day with more cars in the service area you will have better luck!

  Drivers smiled and waved a lot. Police came by the parallel street and warned "you can't stay here, walk back before the roundabout". After 3 minutes a young guy picked us up and drove us much much much out of his way to Puebla de Sanabria, where PB gas station and restaurant 24/7 is saving us from the rain.

  This place is probably your best chance to leave Zagreb in direction of Hungary. We waited for  1 hour, but eventually one guy stopped and took us to Varaždin. That's where you should aim with your sign - there is a gas station there to try from.
  The stickers from hitchhikers are not there anymore. But it's funny because you're hitchiking directly from under the no autostop sign. Croatians are mostly picking up hitchhikers, but it all depends on the time of day and your direction.

  help pls. spot in direction of Hail. The only good about it is that there's a bridge where you can hide from sun and where some truck drivers hide to cool their vehicles.

  Most of the cars are local traffic, delivering hay to local farms. Truck drivers go to Hail, but all of them are afraid to pick you up, because they think:
  a) You're illegally in country
  b) You have drugs with you
  c) That you don't speak Arabic

  I waited almost two hours for at least someone to stop and then had to prove to driver that my meds are not drugs, my camera has no illegal recordings and show my passport and visas, because they were paranoid about spontaneous police control.

  After that I had 4 hours of sex talks, it was uncomfortable, but as they mentioned, it is normal in Arab culture to talk about sex and porn, and they were just curious about how it is in Europe.

  But hey, at least I got to Hail, right?

  They've installed a curb along this section of the road, so there isn't a great place for folks to pull off until the next intersection.

Few locals that go that direction have usually completely packed pickups, maybe some will be willing to take you on roof. Problem is the army pressence in Aousserd and frontline before Leyuad. Better don't go there and go to Bir Ganduz. Although if you don't want to visit towns and don't want to go to Mauritania before Aousserd there is beautiful Ouad al-Jannah, with beautiful desert in winter almopst savannah like nature and there is even one camp some 50 kilometers before aousserd (only accomodation on the whole road from dakhla to aousserd).

  We walked 300 down the road and was picked up in 10 minutes

  mother with daughter took us and said that she is going to Barcelona, loud music, windows down, hurricane at back seats, stoped few kilometres behind border in Ia Jonquera and without any speach she went to shop. so did we, the prices were so low, must have, little chaotic, but good vibe after all

  Also not too much traffic, probably because the road construction to Khorog and they close the road for many hours (September 2023). But It seems you can just stand anywhere and you will get the ride once there is a car passing by.

  I was looking for a good spot for a while. But this is one of the best. You need a little bit of luck, but cars are going out of the villa and parking 🅿️ pretty slowly and can stop there quite easily. After I made a sign it took me about 8 min to get a ride to Brno (CZ).

  did not feel very nice bcs you can only hop in as the drivers pay at the toll, there is no rest area. also clearly illegal.
  this also means drivers might feel like they need to help you, so good to get ahead to a better spot not far. hitch at the ticket booths where they have to lower their window :) avoid the automatic gates where cars can just drive through.
  there is a big highway security building right next to it that seemed inactive and did not bother me even though i lingered for a while before thumbing.
  also, there is a pedestrian underpass connecting the toll gates so you don't need to actually walk across the motorway if it's really busy.

  there, in my opinion, was worse, cus being on the other side of the A5, everyone was going towards madrid
  i also tried at the roundabout but with no luck
  so i went back here, slept on a tent behind the station (its pretty chill), and next morning, after 1h (10-11AM), i found a lift to the station at the 88km, with a restaurant that seems better

  Arrived here and decided to seat by the table, eat something and write my next destination on the cardboard so I called someone and started talking in Polish when some guy asked me if to Gorlitz is just straight so I answered that yes and if he's going maybe he could take me and after a little thinking he said yes. So I guess technically he waited for me to finish eating and we left for the Polish border.

  Best spot from ČB to Austria. It's an ideal spot because the cars coming in see you very early and there's plenty of room to stop because they're going very slowly coming in from the ring road.

  Good spot, space to stop on the side of the road, they still go slow. Had to wait three rounds of ferry to get a car, so not the best in that regard. Tried with and without sign, should be easier to go south in the highway.

  We got a lift to Prague an hour after being dropped here on a Sunday. Talking to drivers or truckers is necessary, there was at least 11 when we passed through. Traffic driving by  is going too fast so unless they're already pulling over to the truck stop you wont have luck signing them to slow. Would avoid getting dropped here in future though, felt like we got lucky after an hour and could have been there all night.

  Cops passed by without stopping.

  A man in a pick-up pulled over. Wasn't really interested in chatting. Told me if I was still in Gray the day after, he could bring me all the way to Lake Charles. I don't know how serious he was about it.

  A wide shoulder for standing but not too much space for cars to stop, for the cars turning south to S19. I was here at the evening and asked for Krasnik, however even though a car stopped like every 10 minutes they always went off at the next exit (Strzeszkowice Duze), after like 7 offers to there but no cars going any long distance i just called it a quits for the evening, might be better luck or for short rides seems like an ideal spot, for longer rides you might need to wait 90+ minutes, otherwise 10 minutes for a short ride

  At te other side of the motorway is a parking place for trucks, as they told me there is even a shower. Asking there for a lift is worth a try. Side with restaurants is busy. I had to ask around a lot though until I got a ride.

  Tried to get from here to Belgium as I've heard of people being stranded further down at Folkestone/Dover. Am aware that channel crossings are challenging so I won't let my ambitious targets hurt the rating of this spot.

  Was offered a ride once every hour but none of them were to Belgium or even across the channel.

  5 hours in I decided any car that could take me further along the M20 would work, and got a ride to Dover 5 minutes later.

  I put an extra pin here as this spot worked much better than the spot near the gas station. Cars are forced to slow down, they have time to access you, and you can sit on the rocks to put yourself on the same eye level as them.

  Towards Saku, there's a small pocket for cars to stop to, you can also just hitch next to the road, most cars here will go to Saku, perfect for going there, just right amount of traffic, speeds are 70km/h and good visibility, wait times of 5-20 minutes expected

  Entrance to highway. We stood right behind the tolls. It's better to stop on the left side, since that's the direction to Lyon (a sign might also help). Stopped a guy who took us to a gas station on the highway.

  A small gas station with not a lot of traffic and many people don't go far. Nonetheless, there are some tourists on this route and we (2) ended up finding a ride within 30 minutes or so to Murcia (could have gone further to Cartagena and continued the next day with them to Málaga).
  In the end we decided to visit Málaga and take a BlaBlaCar from there.
  The A7 is challenging to hitch-hike, because there are very very few service stations. If there are any, they are often off the highway. Had we not found a ride straight to Murcia, I think we might have been stuck there.
  However, if you want to go further (Granada, Málaga), try to find a ride that takes you at least to Granada. This will be hard to find, but probably worth it.

  It is possible to reach the Vashlovani protected areas near the border if you ask or catch some tourists' cars, they receive authorization at the Reserve's head office here in Dedoplis Tskaro - you can also ask for a ride and cook a meal there. So if you plan to go into the natural reserve you should register, while Kasritskali, El Dar, Kvemo Kedi, Sabatlo do not require registration.
  Actually, i only hitchhiked locals to Kvemo Kedi and Kasritskali, where a lady hosting travellers took me home.

  Much better spot than the one further to the East. Unlike the other spot, the parking lots are never blocked due to a zone of "absolutes Halteverbot". That makes it much easier for drivers to stop.
  Also, drivers are less likely to be blocked by truck traffic on the right lane, and the can change lanes more easily and safely.
  Sign is highly recommended, as traffic can go north and south on the A5.
  Look for a ride that takes you at least to the next service station on the highway.

  Walking up to taranaki. I started thumbing from the junction, but for some reason the tourists really didn't get the spirit of hitchiking and refused to pick me up, even though they all had space and where all going where I was going. This really sucked in the furious summer heat, and I guess given I was in a national park surrounded by what I thought was open minded adventurous people I had heightened hopes.

  After walking ages a kind tourist eventually stopped and I had a great time. Guess that's the magic of the thumb.

  Two young people (one woman one man) going north, trying to get a ride to Dijon or Strasbourg. After standing a while, we started asking people directly who stopped at the red light. Unfortunately, everybody was going either to Paris or Clermont-Ferrand. Ended up getting a ride to Lille instead.

  We asked around, hitchhiked with a sign... About 20 cars would be willing during those 3 hrs to take us to Vienna.

  Tough place, cars drive too fast and it is not pleasant to stay here. Since there are traffic lights, this is no highway and you are allowed to hitch hike here, but police doesnt like it and you dont want the discussion. 
  At the end it always works to go from here to Nijmegen. 
  If you walk 500 meters direction Nijmegen (direction Arnhem soccer stadium) you do something that is not dangerous but illegale. Here you may find a place to repair your car or whatever, Some kind of refuge, easier to stop and safe to stop. I do prefer this over the roundabout…. On the other hand, the bridge on the roundabout is great for hitch hiking in the train

I wanted to take a bus(501) for the plaza big stores center(best spot so far for madrid) but it never pass, I also think is not cheap. I was ready to leave this spot and walk 2 hours for Plaza but a pakistan pick me up and dropped me there. Very lucky. Maybe you are luckier than me and go Madrid directly or can wait a lot.

There are enough place for the cars to stop, you can hitchhike before the no autostop sign so its not illegal to do it here. The other entrance to the highway in Rimini is now under construction so probably its the best spot to hitchhike up to the highway for both direction.

  Pretty much the same as what people mentioned at the spot in the centre of Kęty. The road leading out of town towards Kraków seems like a good place to hitch, with plenty of space to stop and a decent traffic flow. Reality check: I waited around 40 minutes to finally hitch a truck (by showing the begging hands) going a bit closer to Kraków. Seems strange! The truck driver 'Don Mateusz' was awesome, even though he couldn't speak English.

  One male 40+, no sign, one big and one small backpacks, very sunny day. No shade. On my way from Subic to Manila.
  It looks like a great spot. An entrance to the highway. Cars are going slowly yet. An extra shoulder making loads of space to stop. But.... 
  It's officially a highway already.  You will pass a sign baning pedestrians. To make it worse there is a police booth 50 meters away. And it was manned. But I tried my luck. I'm not sure if the policeman didn't see me or didn't want to see me, be he didn't come to me. After 5 minutes a car stopped.  He wanted to take me back to Olangapo bus station. In the end he agreed to take me to San Fernando.  But during the ride it turned out that he was going only half way. I got passed off, coz he took me off the highway.

After 5min had a ride offer to Thessaloniki, unfortunately declined, just to wait almost 4 hours (started 5:55 AM) for the next car to stop that went along the ring road of Thessaloniki, where there was a better spot towards Macedonia.

  Ok, this was not great spot south, if you are heading south I would discourage you from going here, but it was kinda nice spot towards Belgium. Be aware a lot of migrants are lurking around after dark, we had two of them jump on top of our truck and drove them to Belgium (they were not happy about that and banged on our roof).  It was definitely one of my crazier stories, but it was kinda fun. Just to be aware of that. (Normally I would sleep around here, but I would never sleep in this place, it was not safe, therefore I went back north to Belgium)

  We stood just before the highway, behind the guard rail. Big sign saying no stopping / hitching. But... A car stopped before police we saw any police.
  There are tunnels to get around the roundabout without playing Frogger in the road.
  Hitch towards limmasol / larnaca / lefkosia (Nicosia)

  The roundabout is hard for someone to stop in. They could, maybe, but it'd be dangerous and no one seemed to stop there. Also, not great luck at the gas station 6min walk from there.
  If all else fails, there is a bus stop about 5min walk from the gas station with intercity busses going every hour or so. Between 4-8 euro, depending on which city.

  Was looking for a ride South to Atlanta, but only locals or people heading North.
  Very friendly people, received a bit of cash, got offers to be picked up the next morning and to spend the night at a shelter center in town.

  Got kicked out of the Valero on the other side of the Highway after 20' and went to this gas station under local recommendation.

  After two hours, a cop showed up and told me it was illegal to panhandle in this county. (idk if he was right, but I don't think so)
  finally let me go but threaten to put me in jail if he would see me again and told me to start walking South.

  Friends from ATL came to pick me up at the end. 

  Waited for them at Dunkins, kids working there were very nice, offered huge discount on my drink and some food.

  We needed to get to Germany. Most of the cars were Italians, a few Switz cars as well. After 2 hours, we changed our "Germany" sign for "Como" (the town just before the Switz borders) and got a ride in 20 minutes to a petrol station in front of Como.

  That's my experience. However, two friends who started hitchhiking right after we got the ride and used the same signs got stuck at the petrol station for 7 hours with no lift anywhere north towards the A9 highway. 

  Overall, I would say it's a good place theoretically, but Italians simply won't take you. If you need to go north, hitch towards Como and stop at the petrol station just in front of Como. There all the cars go north and it's easier to catch a ride there. There's way more Switz. French and German cars there.

  Took the public transportation to the Sunset Transit Center to get out of town, hitchhiked at the highway entrance there for 30' before heading towards the highway to get more luck/traffic. Light rain might have not helped.

  As I was about to try on the next on-ramp, Andy pulled over with his Tesla. He drove me out of this highway, to improve my chances of having a ride. Offered me some snacks. He told me in many years driving here, he has never seen a single hitch on this specific highway.

  We asked everybody there but most cars were full or only going 10km. So we decided to ask Truckdrivers and the second one could take as almost until Girona after his break from 9hours so we waited there inside the autogrill and tried to sleep and watched Netflix. Before 3am we started driving. But normally the Trucks aren't allowed to take people because they only have 2 seats most of the time. It was the longest and most comfortable ride so far (We could Sleep in the Beds)

  I tried for a while to get to Budapest with a sign but there weren’t many Hungary plate cars (although two separate drivers thought I wanted to buy a taxi to there.) After that I resigned myself to stop off at Bratislava. I tried a few spots, but in the end that one worked in about 10 minutes. About 50 metres down the pavement from the bills.

  Ĉi tiu loko estas absolute mirinda. Mi alvenis ĉi tien ĉirkaŭ la oka vespere. Jam estis mallume. Tie estas lampfosto, kiu ne funkcias. Eĉ sen ia lumo, aŭtoj pasas tiel malrapide, ke ili havas sufiĉe da tempo por vidi vin. Mi metis min super la finon de la triangulo, meze de la vojo, fronte al tiu, kiun mi volis, kaj metis malgrandan lanternon por igi min iom pli videbla, krom uzi la reflektajn ŝtofojn, kiujn mi ricevis en "tramprennen" por mi kaj Daniela Loti.

  Tri ciganaj fratoj prenis min duonvoje kaj lasis min ĉe la fervoja stacio en Ĉerven Brjag por atingi la lastan trajnon, supozeble je la 11a vespere. Sed tio estis la 3:30a matene.

  We wanted to get a ride to Germany and it was Sunday morning. There is some place for the cars to stop. However it’s not so clear how many passing by there go to Germany or mainly to some places close by (as the cars going towards Germany may be already on the highway). Still, it worked for us and was all in all probably faster than going to the gas station towards Germany ( see hitchwiki).

The lady in the shop seemed to have met hitchhikers here before, as she approached us with chairs, question in google translate "do you want to travel with no payment?", and also offered us a cardboard to make a sign. Just because it's right after the turn from Skun it makes it more difficult for cars that are going from Phnom Penh direction to stop.

  So, I got dropped right in front of this bridge. I would say that the best tactic here is to cross border on feet and have a sign of where you want to go(In my case it was Beograd) and approach every car, as the line on the border gets pretty long.

  In my case no one agreed, so I stood with the sign right after the border control and was feeling desperate because it was already dark, when the guys from the border saved me. They told me they were just hesitating to take me right before the border control, but after it they pick me up and took all the way to Belgrade. Total legends. One of them, named Igor even hosted me for a night at his place! Very good experience

  This is a nice traffic light on an intersection - gives you plenty of time, probably around 1 minute or more. You can actually walk through the cars and people will often open their windows to ask where you're going. 
  I wanted to go south to Stuttgart and I thought this would get me to the A5. I was wrong. Most people coming through here are going to Mannheim. It's a good spot if you're going in that direction, otherwise you should find another one.
  To go south like me, try the Speyerer Strasse in Kirchheim.

  Solo hitchhiking from Münich, not a good spot as cars have to stop on an a lane heading off before the highway, but it’s possible. Many cars travel at a high speed though. There’s a reststop on the way to GAP, maybe you can hitch a lift there. I got lucky though.

However, there is a lack of good spots for southbond travel in Kassel, so if you want to farther south we recommend hitching with someone who’s heading farther south than Kassel.

  It's surprising how the wait times lower so dramatically as soon as you cross the border. As per usual, Spain can prove a battle when hitching, but France feels ever so relaxed in comparison.

  After getting dropped in l'Hospitalet, I noted it was nearly lunchtime, and I hadn't had a French plat du jour in what feels like forever, so I set my sights on Ax Les Thermes.

  The spot I chose was the road entering a roundabout next to the train station. There is adequate room for a car to pull over thanks to a bus stop, all in all making for a nice place to wait!

  I had barely put my bag down at the spot when a van pulled over with a young man behind the wheel, and a lot of alcohol in the centre seat. As it turns out, he was related to a shop owner from my tiny home village! It's a small world after all.

  He was going further than Ax, but my heart was set on lunch, so I bid him goodbye at the turn-off, and walked my way into town.

  You can access the Service Station from Novska, there's a road with a bridge that passes over the highway that goes to a nature reserve which can be entered through an openable gate. Once you're there go left through a dirt road, there's many huge wild pigs so be careful not to startle them, go straight and there's another opened gate to the station.

  La areo estis sufiĉe okupata, sed estis facile halti. Ni petis iri al la sekva urbo, sed ni ne komprenis, ke ni povus fari kromvojon al Palauing, kiu estas apud la aŭtovojo. Tio malfaciligis la petveturadon, ĉar fariĝis mallume.

  If you're trying to go anywhere else (Frankfurt in our case), DO NOT come here and stay on the A3 if possible. We had to give up and start again the next morning from the airport

Cars coming slowly as they have to turn; there's no real place to pull over but they stop anyway, everyone in this area is very friendly and willing to help. We tried hitchhiking in other spots and many people stopped but nobody was going the right way; finally we got to this place and got a direct ride immediately.

  Lots of traffic, but not very easy for cars to stop.  I first tried waiting along the road, then I tried on the on-ramp and got a ride pretty quick.  I flew a sign that said “HOOKSETT/BOSTON.”  I think people often ignore people holding cardboard signs, because they assume you are just asking for money and don’t really read it, so if you do fly a sign, make the letters really big.

  To get there from Ioannina take bus number 5 from the station "Πλατεία (Προς ανατολή)" [Plateia (Pros Anatoli)], get off at "Κώστα Λιας" [Kosta Lias] and walk a bit to the spot. The bus 1,10 Euro. Lot of traffic, but to several directions, because it's not yet on the highway. But it's a good and safe spot for cars to stop. Take a sign that says where you want to go. I went to Igoumenitsa, was taken by a really nice man, who even invited me for lunch and coffee and made a detour to drop me off at the port.

  I don’t how you people autostop from here. I’m sure it’s possible but just tell me the way. It’s a big road with a looot of cars that don’t have where to stop nor how to see you. On top of that when you go to Madrid the cars nearest to you are not going there so you won’t pick anyone near you. The only idea I had was to ask people on the red light, but as I said it would be people on the middle of the road and I didn’t want to risk being there when the light turns green. I’m disappointed I tried both ways out of Burgos to Madrid and both are bad, I’ll have to take a bus :(

Very good spot to sleep tho! Just go on the hill next to the station and walk to the north till you see a depression in the dirt. There's a nice forest to put a tent. It was very cozy but there's a lot of human "waste" on the way. For me the best option

  Mi haltis ĉe ĉi tiu punkto ĉirkaŭ la dua matene laŭ loka tempo. Mi provis petveturi dum unu horo, sed ne estis multe da movado kaj ili estis tre rapidaj. Mi estis tro laca kaj tio estis tro malvarma. Mi reiris al la bushaltejo kaj starigis mian tendon. Mi dormis kiom mi bezonis, sed preskaŭ perdis la ŝancon. Dum la nokto kelkaj kamionoj haltis kaj foriris matene. Mi kaptis unu el la lastaj. Ĝi iris rekte al Vladivostok. Aŭtotransportaj kamionoj iras tre malproksimen, ĉar ili transportas importitajn japanajn aŭtojn. Ĉi tiu venis el Kirgizio, sed estas kelkaj irantaj al Moskvo ankaŭ. Unu el ili ankaŭ demandis min, ĉu mi ŝatus iri al Moskvo de malproksime post kiam mi renkontis ĉi tiun. Li estis afabla kaj lasis min dormi interne de la kamiono pro la malaltaj temperaturoj. Li ankaŭ ofertis al mi manĝaĵon survoje. Multan dankon al Daniel el Uzbekio, kiu venas el Kirgizio. Daniela renkontis Xará-n.

We hiked from here since there was construction at the on ramp to the autobahn in Nikolasse. We were picked up quite quickly and there’s a busstop + handicapparking where the drivers can pick you up.

  Please note that if you just want to get to Potsdam you can take the S-bahn from Berlin instead.

  Good starting spot to get to Aachen and beyond to Belgium or NL, easy to reach with public transport too. I wasn't even there at a good time (Mid-November on a weekday, very foggy weather) and still found a ride to Aachen pretty quickly by asking around.

  I was stuck here for quite a while on a saturday early evening. First I asked around at the gasstation, good amount of traffic but all cars going to spain were full. I almost gave up, but then I stood with a sign "Bayonne" at the exit of the service place and a truck picked me going directly to San Sebastian. Pay Attention to the trucks for long distance rides! :)

  this map is super outdated, this is where the new ticket office is. and also it doesn't seem possible to buy P&O tickets in person anymore, so the method of catching people before they bought doesn't work. the only way is probably thumbing before the passport control, which itself is unpredictable...also they kick you outta the ticket office at 7pm :(

  Come here, opposite "SMALL COFF SLOWBAR". The cool young guys in the café will help you find a ride to Betong. They literally let me sit in the garden offered a cold coffee while one of them, Husen, was hitchhiking on my behalf. They immediately gave my contact to 2 brothers in Betong who later picked me up by their scooters, treated me with Roti and rice, offered me a shower at their family's home which is also a second hand clothing shop to trade your stuff at, showed me around the town and took me on scooter first and on foot then up to the Malaysian passport control, way after sunset.

  Don't hitchhike opposite the gas station 150m east under the tree shade, drivers are too busy with not running into each other

  Ĉar la policanino prokrastis min kaj mi ne povis trovi la armenan viron, kiu proponis helpi min transiri la limon, mi decidis petveturi rekte tie ĉe la elirejo, klarigante, ke estas malfacile marŝi kun tiom da pezo kaj ke mi ne povas eniri Rusion piede. (Kiu scias, ĉu tiu maljuna armena viro ankaŭ volis trompi min, juĝante laŭ la nervoza kaj nekomprenebla mesaĝo, kiun li sendis al mi per WhatsApp, kiam mi trovis lian numeron por demandi...). Kaj ĉar estis noktomezo, mi pensis, ke ĝi estos rapida, sed mi eraris. Estas ĥaoso tie. Mi skribis mesaĝon per la Wi-Fi, klarigante ruse, kion mi bezonis, kaj komencis montri al ili. Ĉar estas multaj aŭtotransportistoj (kaj mi eĉ ne scias, ĉu ili faras ĝin laŭleĝe), ili ĉiuj estas tre suspektindaj, aŭ ŝajnas tre elitismaj, do ili plejparte ignoris min. Sed grupo da junuloj, kiuj transportis aŭtojn, decidis veturigi min almenaŭ al la komenco de Rusio, kaj mi akceptis... almenaŭ mi povis dormi kelkajn horojn en vico ĝis ni atingis la rusan doganejon, kiu volas ĉion ekzameni, eĉ pli en ĉi tiu regiono kaj eĉ pli dum militaj tempoj, sed ĉio estis paca, almenaŭ dum mia transiro. Tuj kiam ni transiris la limon, ili ĵetis min 2 km preter la limo kiel rubon en la akvon, bone. Tia estas la vivo, kaj mi sopiris mian maljunan kolegon Armenio, kie li povus esti?

  If you are going north from ChCh to Kaikoura/Picton but your ride is going to Hammer Springs get out here to continue hitching north. Great spot, with heaps of place to pull up, toilets and shops nearby.

  We experienced a fairly long wait time here. There was a fair amount of traffic, for a relatively quiet road, as well as space to pull over (albeit a bit short). We were here at 8AM and it was raining pretty heavily. We went to the petrol station to put some extra layers on and without even attempting to hitch we were told by the staff there that we were not allowed to solicit rides on their property. Found a lift to Ohakune after 90 minutes or so, as we decided our best bet to get to Wellington would be back on Route 1.

  Didn't spend the full five hours here, walked a little north and tried the busstop as well, but seemed too chaotic. Double lane and no clear direction made the busstop not ideal, so asking around it was. Mostly people going to their job or locals getting fuel, but after a while, someone actually went to Gälve ánd didn't mind taking me.

  The spot is well suited if you come from Suederschmedeby (better chances to start from the village than if you have to walk 1.5km) or if you are let out at the highway exit. You have a wide view, there is a bus stop and I usually only stand here for 5-20 minutes. Ask the person where they are going to Flensburg. If they go to the Foerde Park shopping center on the outskirts of the city, then you have to walk quite a while to the city center or take the bus. Ask for a ride to the Sankelmark bus stop instead.

  We walked here from Macon, because we decided that it will be easier to hitchhike here since the highway wasnt ideal and we wanted to get to a small village between Lyon and Macon. Easy to hichhike here, would recommend if you have some specific place between Lyon and Macon. You will most probably only get rides one city away, so we took multiple rides to get to our destination

  Cons - this spot takes you into the main road to Bologna and potentially into the highway but you should be sure whether driver goes north, east or south so that you don't get stuck on the highway.

  Good bus stop towards Staszow, decent amount of traffic, might get a ride to Kielce, speeds are slow due to roundabout earlier, wait time of 5-20 minutes expected

  I was going geocaching in the forest, so I wanted to get a ride up there. A car stopped very quickly and took me there.

  Very fast, but note: I was a girl, alone. 
  Location seems nice. There is a gas station, but early in the morning it was mostly empty.
  Next to it there is a bus stop and it turned out to be a perfect hitchhiking spot! 
  2 minutes or less waiting

  Waited for less than 10 min, got a HH from european guy. If you head south just stick to gas stations on the highway. Managed to get all the way to Bangkok with a very chill pace in 3 days by sticking to the highway.

  Ĉi tiu loko estas bona por Mustar, multaj tramprennen rajdantoj ricevis rektajn veturojn.

  Ĉi-tage mi havis kapdoloron, Chad savis nin. Fakte danke al li du aŭtoj haltis. Donante veturojn al ni kaj ankaŭ al TBA kaj T&T, kiuj ricevis belan avantaĝon rilate al tempo, ĉar la 10 minutoj da atendado por veturo tute estis en niaj kontoj. Mi sopiras ilin ĉiujn.

  A lot cars going in the direction of France. Actually wanted to go to Colmar but still took the first ride we got even though it was not going there because we had to wait quite long.
  After the roundabout there is a parking lot where cars can stop to pick you up.

  You can hitch up the Mountain only 40 minutes every 2 hours, then it's closed for 20 minutes, and then traffic goes the other way around for 40 minutes. Make sure to inform yourself about the hours and time your start.
  This is a good spot for going up the mountain.

  Getting out towards north is difficult. Theoretically a good spot but people didnt stop for 40 minutes. So for 3 Lari I hopped on a Marshrutka to Tbilisi that let me off in Khashuri (which is also not a great place)

  One male 40+, no sign, one big and one small backpacks, very sunny day. On my way from Subic to Angees.
  A very good spot. Loads of space to stop and good visibility. Plus the shade. I was straggling all day. This part of the Philippines wasn't good for me. Until I reached this spot. After 5 minutes I got a lift all the way to Angeles - my destination.

  A bit hard to get to Frankfurt. Arrived at 14:30, I was here for 1:20 hr, asking people at first, then rotating between thumbingn at the exit with sign, or asking truck drivers.
  70% of truck drivers were going to sleep / cutrtain closed. 15% went to sleep 15% didn’t went to frankfurt.
  People only said they didn’t go to frankfurt. Once I changed my sign to mannheim I got a stop from so

  Perhaps the only viable spot on this road since Wolgast, but even then it is very uncomfortable for cars to stop, from here onwards all the roadside is full of trees basically next to the road with no space and there are silly bollards due to that all along the road, your best chance is the first bus stop in Zinnowitz but even that is a very iffy, I'd try to avoid getting stuck between the middle of these villages, wait times of 120+ minutes for sure
