  Pretty area. Not many people driving - you can wait hours between cars if you're unlucky. Might as well walk. But if a car passes, chances are it's a local, and chances are they'll pick you up out of curiosity. Keep an eye out for wolverines :)

  You have to put in the work yourself, meaning if you (for example) want to get to Kaunas, then go up to the truck drivers that have allready stopped and just ask them if they want to take you, otherwise kind of hard to pull the cars off the highway into the gas station to pick you up

  A lot of people just park on the road or the bus stop to go to the pekara, so it can be infuriating. Also some people want money, even as much as 10€ per person. Finally an Albanian man stopped for us. But he didn't give us any signal so we had to walk to ask him. Can't think of better spot to go to Shköder from Ulcinj though

  A good busstop with plenty of space, slowish traffic and strong visibility. All the traffic here is going far, unlike further in busstops which are 90% local. I kinda hate this place though, I got stranded here overnight and it was raining, a lot of cars would drive past and smile and laugh at me in the rain. Don’t smile and wave at me when your driving past in your nice empty SUV while I’m freezing my tits off in the thunderstorm you giant knob. Could have been random through, hopefully it works better for you.

  Hitching East, this was an okay spot. Your best shot is probably talking to people making a stop at the coffee shop across the street, that's how I got a ride to Timmins. Be aware that the road going east will be leading thru 2.5 hours of nothing, with often no reception. I was told some hitchhiker disappeared here in 2025.

  Should be a good spot- people can hold close to you and they are not to fast. Also enough people there. And they see you early enough. But take a good sigh with you and patience. Oldenburg is the next stop- so everyone is definitely going there.


  If you don’t have enough time and it’s getting dark then don’t go there.

  Wait with a big sign on the lawn after the Hungarian border control. So people can already see you/read the sign when their passports get checked. Great spot with space behind to park. Got a direct lift to Budapest with sign. A lot of people are probably afraid of taking a possible refugee and getting into problems. I think a creative sign could help, people have enough time to read it. Many German and Austrian cars.

  If you're going to the west coast this road looks like an enticing shortcut vs going via Nelson. Indeed, someone used the exact words, "enticing shortcut" and took me from the perfect hitch spot outside the supermarket to here. 


  5 hours later:
   
  There was tons of traffic, they could see me, there was space to pull over. Nobody stopped. Nobody was going to the west coast this way, everyone is just going to work in the vineyards and farms a few miles down the road, and they won't help A hitchiker.

  I was told this by a guy who saw me waiting there 4 hous ago, and felt bad enough to drive me back to the Nelson road during his lunchbreak, the spot i was at in the first place, where I caught a ride in 5 minutes. 

  This road has AIDS, its quicker via Nelson. Don't bother unless you are genuinely happy to wait around for hours on end for nothing, and at best get dropped in the middle of knowhere.

  I'm not the only person who's had issues with this road, it's not a shortcut, its a trap.

  It's a great stop to rest and catch your breath, nice man owns this place, I could charge all my devices, drink water and also he offered me free food!

  Hitchhiking there was quite difficult, especially in the evening. Minimum traffic, no one stopped, even though there's a lot of place to stop.

  After waiting for two hours I decided to walk down the road(I planned to walk 8 hours to Meteora), but thankfully when I was hitchhiking down the road, crazy in a good sense of words guy picked me up and he was heading to Athens, but I still asked him to drop me at Meteora. He bought me coffee, some food and gave me 10 euros. Got lucky

  One of the worst spots of my hitchhiking life. The precedent lift left us here assuring me and my friend that is was a good spot but it wasn't AT ALL. I can't remember how long we waited but I think we only saw like 7 cars pass : it was desert (it was on a Saturday afternoon, maybe it's different other days ?). Plus, it was raining and there was literally nowhere to hide from rain there. (Apparently, it rains very frequently around this spot, so be careful and check the weather before accepting to be left there)

  People are definitely friendly (although far from a 100% stop rate). The problem is there are very few cars, especially in the direction of the "Instagram tree" where there is only one house.

  Not the best spot with mostly local traffic as there was no event at the convention center nearby. There was also a lot of construction at the time (mid July 2024), however that worked in my favor as it slowed the cars down. Mostly local traffic around 7 pm though. I ended up finding someone to take me to the airport where the chances were potentially higher.

  Did not work at all : some people were trying to help us, but only went to morth-east of Paris, and there was no one there after 1am so we went to sleep. The staff was very friendly and offered us some pain au chocolat and hot chocolate because the machine didn't work well for us, and we could set the tent at the back of the restplace without anyone bothering us at all. In the morning we waited one more hour before somebody took us to Saint-Denis' train station, as everybody else ignored us.

  We took a ride to the next big city (Vysoke Myto, about 20 km). We went there after we tried hitching from the gas station, which was really not successful because it is too local.

  It took us about an hour to find a ride here. We tried both, standing with a sign at the road and asking around at the gas station. In the end, asking around worked, but there is a lot of local traffic! Try to find somebody to get you onto the highway, then take it from there.
  Standing with a sign didn't work at all for us. Cars are very fast and it's hard for them to stop. I think it can work, but probably the gas station is the safer way to find a ride.

  Actually hitched from there twice in two days because I forgot my wallet with my passport when I got into a Palestinian guy’s car. Thankfully he was just going to Germany to do some shopping and drove me back after I was stopped at the border and we cooked dinner together. Next day a Czech truck driver took me to Zittau

At this spot there is a little place to stop for cars in the southwestern direction it's quite good for hitchhiking.

  Excellent spot for entering the countryside, but not necessarily worth the risk of going through this area of France, pretty much exclusively local traffic who will only be going very short distances, and very few cars at that. I live in this area and have seen many hitchhikers end up stranded from the lack of vehicles.
  I'd only recommend getting in a car going at minimum to Villefranche de Rouergue if hitching west from here.
  Personally found a man heading to cahoots very quickly however. 
  Would all prove a great spot for heading south to Albi or Toulouse via the opposite junction roundabout at the exit of Baraqueville.

The suggestion provided by another hitchhiker to ask for rides at the beginning of the petrol station was right. Again though, it was lucky. Karlsruhe doesn't seem like an easy place to hitchhike out of. Maybe it's better to wait for people to take you further like in Stuttgart, and staying on the A8 highway.

  Secret spot from a local.
  you take any bus in Kiev direction till Karpusi bus stop then walk a little along the road up until it gets straight. Its a roadside with plrnty of space, kind of in the middle of nowhere but worked for me every time and became a favorite spot after 10+ rides in the direction Kiev.

  We were 2 guys. A lot of cars passing through, they are going slow so they can clearly see you. When we were there, it was the middle of July so must of the cars were families going home from vacation so cars were full. After like 2 hours we declined 1 ride to Gevgelija. After another 2 hours we finally got a ride and it was all the way to Belgrade, we had a sign Serbia. Before we also tried with sign Skopje.

  A good spot to pull over. We hitchhiked here twice (in March 2024 and February 2023), and in both instances, we waited for about 45 minutes. The waiting time heavily depends on the time of day. It's one of the places in the desert region of Morocco where we waited the longest for a ride. Nevertheless, we had some of the most memorable hitchhiking experiences here in Morocco (with a film producer heading to a Netflix film set in the middle of nowhere and with a super lovely Moroccan couple heading towards Zagora very late in the evening).

Completely unsolicited, he basically hitchiked me, was really kind and spoke perfect english. Amazing!! Why is this spot only 1 star then? The border crossing is closed to people without a car for no apparent reason. Same for the other al ain forighner border crossing (and the two in central Al ain are not for forighners).

She got a ride towards Pskov, I hopped out at the junction. Saturday, huge amount of cars, also German, French, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, Swedish...

  Terrible spot to leave Berlin. We (3 guys) waiter about 4 hours. There were a lot of cars passing by but nobody wanting to take us south. We ended up taking the 620 to Wannsee and then the s7 to Potsdam to take the bus to Michendorf. From there it took us less then 10 minutes to get a ride.

  Great place. The drivers can see you from great distance and they can decide whether to stop. They have to slow down because of the crosswalk. There is a bus station where they can stop. I recommend it.

  Stood there for about 3 hours in the rain asking people in the gas station and truck drivers for a ride on the 81 South towards Knoxville. After 3 hours got an insane ride all the way to Nashville. If you plan on hitchhiking here keep in mind that: most truckers nowadays are not allowed by their company to pick you up and that about 9 out of 10 people there are heading up North and not down South

  Direction Ancona and north. Recommended spot if you leave Camerino. Not sure about the new SS256 Pedemontana road - try it and let us know.
  I came here by direct bus from Camerino 3€ via Contram app. Don't follow GMaps, no one crosses Albacina. A lot of viewability + space to stop, no police. It's legal to hitch here. To Rome, Fabriano west works better. 
  The first 2 cars offered me 20km, so i waited. A woman entered the free highway and came back >10km to pick me up :D

  Traffic is quite fast, trucks can't stop as they drive fast. Cars can make it tho. Police was there 10min when I arrived I asked and they were okay. Saw 4 police cars and no one bothered me. I tried to go on the exit lane but also a bit before. After the 2nd car stopped, I accepted to get a ride to the border on the small road. Very empty place with some trucks. And there is no border in the highway. I don't recommend that option as the spots suck as it is empty even though I got a ride in 10min there.

  11AM-1250PM on a Friday in August 2023. Tried to get to the ferry on Fehmarn. 
   
  More Danes and Swedes than I could talk to. even two Norwegians. But 50-80% have either children in the back or are literally full with baggage. It seems so great with so many Scandinavians, but the baggage situation reduces the relevant options dramatically. 
  Dutchies also present. Some traffic to Schwerin. Germans always say they're about to switch highways or get off at the next option, local traffic. Sooo many cars with bicycles and camping trailers. The frequency of cars arriving was very high. Obvs a good rest stop. 

  I got a ride with a family going to Burg on Fehmarn after 110 minutes, from there there's a bus to the ferry, either X85 or 591. 

  Hard to say whether to recommend this spot for the Fehmarn ferry. Had mixed results as a German asking Danish, some insisted theyd've taken me if the car wasn't full, others were not open at all. 

  For strategy, keep in mind that people continuing on A1 can drop you off 10min from Lübeck train station. As of July 2023, there is a bus (X85) hourly from Lübeck to Puttgarden. so car rides to train stations in between are acceptable maybe, like Haffkrug, Großenbrode, Oldenburg, Fehmarn Burg.

  We waited here for about an hour and a half, it really seemed like people just weren't interested in taking us. We managed to get a ride with a guy who was driving all the way to Slovenia, he was super cool. 
  The spot itself is okay, gives drivers enough time to process taking you and also has a nice area to pull in in front of an abandoned building. 
  The walk from the monte border control to Croatia is a treck- so be mindful

  Take the bus there, you can check it on G Maps. Its best to go to Armenia because it has no inner city traffic. Literally took me 1 minute. Lots of space for the driver and they are still slow due to a traffic light a few meters before the stop. Sign to Yerevan got me to Marneuli.

  I got dropped of here because the driver wasn't going to the gas station. I stood I the small pavement piece between the streets. I held up a sign with "próxima estação da serviço" - next gas station and got a ride eventually but I wouldn't recommend this spot. the cars are kind of driving too fast to have time to read the sign and there isn't so much time for them to stop too.

  I guess you have to bring some time and patience 😄 But there are some trucks which pause here also for stretched periods of time (probably 1 - 20 hours).

  If you want to go schkoder/montenegro, DO NOT USE THIS ROAD!!!

  although it looks more direct, it is a tinyass single track mountain route with basically zero cars, all going super slow. itll take a whole day to get there. stick to the main road (e.g. a car to tirana). get out at the main road junction near lac (there is a good spot) and hitch north from there. 

  I got out here, hitched part way along, and then realised my mistake and hitched back, losing 5 hours. the first cars here did stop so it is friendly hitching, but its super slow, nobody will go direct to schkoder here.

  I arrived there when it was already dark so it was a plus that you can technically reach Orleans by public transport if you don’t have a tent nor want to spend the night outside. Also there is probably more traffic there in summer or during the day with people going further than Paris

  In theory, it was a great place – a hostel, a gas station, and a place to buy vignettes for TIRs (entry and exit from the same side), but we came across a little traffic. It was getting late, so after almost an hour, we decided we'd be done in 10 minutes and were going to sleep here at the hostel. We were about to head back when a couple from Poland on their way to Montenegro stopped by. We got to Zvolen SK with them.

  This review is super late, but I was there in May in the afternoon and found folks going my direction in half an hour by asking around. It only took half an hour because they wanted to finish their meal (which, totally fair.) I think the finding itself only took about 10 minutes.

  After I saw the comments I thought it will be an easy spot. But I just met allot of locals that stop after here or trucks that are just waiting hours for someone. Also remember that trucks will not take you with them before the border- you are a risk for them if you have something illegal. After 15 minutes asking everyone on this spot a campervan took me with them. Crossing the border was luckily really chill.

  Main road in the middle of town. Little traffic, manageable to ask at the gas station and panhandle on the side of the road.

  People were okay, just not going West.

  Got a ride from Courtney, a woman in her thirties who saw me prior. She offered me a ride first to Craig, and then said she had enough time to push all the way to Maybell, the last tiny town before 70 miles of nothingness except desert and amazing views. 

  On the way, we dropped some furniture at her apartment and picked up one of her friends.
  She was fun, slightly nutsy and full of energy. Also good at Aux.

  I end up stuck in Craig along the way. She offered me to stay at her apartment.

I was even thinking about camping in that place and it was already cold ❄️ so, once again! I was just lucky as everyone sometimes!

  Not a lot of traffic on this station. Better is to stay on toll gates in Tetovo and get a ride at least to Gostivar. I was there late so I took anything to find some place to camp and go from this station in the morning. It worked out well, but place isn't ideal.

  I was on the side in the grass, between the parking and the road, there is place for cars to stop and it's safe. Lots of cars but I waited 1 hour until a nice person stopped, maybe because it was early and people were going to work and were late ? My ride took me to the huge peage before Lyon (St Quentin-Fallavier), where it was a bit dangerous because I had to go inside the peage. So maybe try to go further than Lyon to avoid this !
  Also this spot leads to 2 different directions, Lyon and Valence, so it's better with a sign I guess.

  Not a lot of traffic and it seems to be going all directions (BO, ROMA, PI), and I agree -- it's insanely hard to get to, it's like they're hiding the Italian gold reserves there. We crossed from the eastbound side of the gas station and had to (in total) cross two ditches and three fences. However there is a path through the very dense shrubbery on the westbound side, look for the spray-painted arrow on the walking path that goes around the station.

  It seems like the only spot in Liptovský Mikuláš where you can comfortably hitch a ride to the highway. Most of the traffic is local, but you can flag down out-of-town cars leaving McDonald's or the nearby gas station. I wrote a sign for Žilina, which turned out to be a mistake. Tip: Use a sign for Ružomberok—it's a major hub with roads branching west and south across the country.

  We waited there a long time. There is a lot of gypsies in the area, that may be the reason people wouldnt want to stop. The first guy that stopped offered us a ride to Poprad for 20€. At first i thought he was joking but no. We denied of course, then another guy came and offered us the same. The last thing that made us want to leave was two guys in a van trying to kidnapp us (I think) bcs they were trying to get us in the back of their van.

  Great spot if you want to get to Venice or in direction of Slovakia/Austria. Likewise for Milan, Trident. 
  Incredibly bad spot if you want to get to Bologna and further - we had to spend the night. In terms of sleeping: I recommend going through a gate and turning left, there’s some bush - we set up a tent and spent a night there without any problem, and we used the toilet at the gas station during the morning. Station’s staff was nice and they didn’t cause any problem.

  But if you’re going to Bologna etc, I recommend catching any hike in direction of Milano / Padua and getting into the next autogrill (gas station) between Venice and Padua - Ristop |Arino Ovest. Amazing spot to catch a long ride and it’s not that far!

  Technically good spot who allow asking at the gas station and panhandle the car passing US40 at the same time. The issue is this road leads to nothing, so not much traffic. Clerk working there is very nice, we had a good chat.

  The day before, walked all the way there through main road in town and hitchhiked there an hour until sun sets. Not a lot of traffic and plenty of people giving me mean looks. 
  The only car who stopped was to tell me to try to go further to increase my chances.

  Next morning, walked again with my sign up. Someone offering me a ride going through CO 13, I kindly refused.

  When I reached the spot, got a ride back to Maybell from the second person I asked.

  From a strategical perspective, an excellent spot. All the traffic coming from Zell am See going to Salzburg or Munich has to pass this gas station. Gas station staff is friendly and welcoming to hitchhikers.

  However, keep in mind that the long-distance travellers from Zell am See are mostly wealthy people (ski tourists) reluctant to pick up a poor hitchhiker.
  Local traffic won't pick you up.

  Be patient though, the statistics are in your favor and this place is almost a safe bet. You can also approach drivers at the gas pumps and just ask.

  Great for burgas. Not good for Istanbul, nobody going south at all. Met 2 other hitchhikers and we waited for 4 hours. A Turkish truck driver was sleeping when we got there and after 4 hours he woke up and gave all 3 of us a ride to the border. We tried to hitch during those 4 hours and no luck. Without him we were pretty sure we would have had to sleep at the gas station. It is 24 hour though so not a terrible place to get stuck

  honestly, this was such a good spot! i got dropped off here the day before at around 9p.m. the staff let me sleep in the restaurant area of the petrol station on my sleeping pad. (they just told me to take care of my purse.,) they didn’t even ask me to buy something. i had a nice chat with them in the evening and in the morning the folks from the next shift gave me 4 sandwiches <33
  got a ride here in 15 minutes to the border crossing varsand (there’s a bit less traffic than in nadlac) but you’ll still easily find a truck there to take you to budapest.

  Going North, decent spot you can hitch the on ramp and the highway at the same time depending on the traffic. lots of stores nearby and what not. If you can try to get a ride before or on the ferry because they let the foot passengers off last so you can't really catch any of the traffic off the ferry since they've all left by the time you get off the boat.

  Maybe the worst gas station in Spain, or maybe it is because people from Spain do not understand hitchhiking.. First day we stood there for like two hours, it was evening. And police officers told to us to get out of there, because hitchiking on autovias is ilegal. So we get out and build up a tent on a field next to highway, pretty nice spot for camping. The second day we decide to hitchhike on the roundbout with a sign to Madrid, we stood there for maybe six hours? After that time some guy took us to a gas station in that direction, maybe 20 kilometers. We found out that, police officers were waiting for us on the previous spot, so be carefull. P. S. Do not believe people from Spain, if they told you they are going to drop you off on a busy gas station..

  I was going to get on the ferry as a foot passenger then ask around for a lift, but I simply could not find where to buy a ticket, so I ended up walking near the gates where cars wait to drive on the ferry. I started talking to a driver standing outside his vehicle and asked if he could just give me a ride onto the goddam ship, because I genuinely didn’t know where to buy a ticket. He said yes but was a bit worried because he’d already registered his vehicle for one person, but no one double checked as we went on. He ended up taking me all the way to NL which was my destination !! Gezellig !!!!

As we reached the intersection with the main road we saw a campervan (motorhome, rv, whatever you call them), did the thumb signal, they said "Sorry we're only going to the supermarket", but so were we, so they took us and avoided us a 2km walk. 10/10, waited like 10 seconds.

  It's a good and calm spot, with no motorbikes, and few cars. We got our short ride towards Thái Bình immediately with the first car. Google Translate works pretty well now compared to 8 years ago. I found that showing a digital map to drivers is always confusing for them, so I prepared a simple hand-drawn map with a few nearest towns on the way. Showing this map to the driver works perfectly in combination with the phrase "Bạn đi đâu (Where are you going)?". Also "miễn phí (free)" is pretty helpful to let drivers know you are willing to get a free ride.

  We gave up after waiting for three hours, and were actually picked up while walking up the mountain road.
  Locals don't stop because they assume you are for the border, and Bulgarians assume it's a local thing. Mornings there is huge amount of traffic to a mine (рудник) so put up a sign "5km" or something of the sort. From where the road of the mine goes off the main road it is just a few bends of the road to the top where the border is (and you can find path that cut those bends).

  But generally if you coming from inside Macedonia towards Bulgaria, much better option is to use the spot at the Kumanovo toll station (patarina) and ask directly cars with BG numbers. They seem to be less willing to stop on foreign territory.

  We got off the car that dropped us to Tarbet and 2 seconds after we got another car to Glencoe. Spot is great cause there's a small car park for the hotel behind, so because of the intersection people are going slow and they can also pull over at the car park

  Went there at 16:00 on a Saturday, the traffic was decent, we got picked up by a taxi driver who was going to the airport to pick up somebody, that's also where we were dropped off.

  The spot is alright, with a lot of space for cars to stop. Iwas a bit afraid for my first hitchhiking experience in Spain as I read that it would be significantly more difficult than in France. I was on my way to a village close to Girona which is a bit of an awkward way from Puigcerda so I wrote Ripoll and Vic on my cardboard. Eventually someone stopped and said he would take me to the place where the road to Ripoll starts. After talking a bit it turned out he would be going all the way to Girona in the afternoon after having lunch with his wife. I had to kill a few hours but was very lucky with my direct ride.

Lots of traffic, but most of them go more far than Novi Sad and can’t drop you off at a highway exit to Nobody Sad because of this “Novi Sad bypass” highway design. (Check it out on a map!)

  Usually a good spot if you want to go to Valenciennes (everyone seemed to be going there) and further down to Paris. I wanted to go to Lille though and it took me a full 3 hours to find someone. I did find a right directly to my destination though, they even did a detour for me, so that was super sweet. It was pretty late at that point (I waited from 7 to 10 pm so I imagine that it was getting late might have toggled a little pity)

  Great spot, as most traffic is going down the lake - be prepared to wait a bit though. Most cars are either already full during high season, or want money. Wait for a truck (as of 07/2025 there are some going regulalry for getting sand from the lake) - we were taken by an old Kamaz truck which was quite the adventure on the mountain pass. Trucks, ofc, are pretty slow though so keep that in mind.

Extremely difficult to hitch to this spot, I ended up walking there from white river downtown (1 h ish)  Spent two hours, got nothing, ended up spending the night rough camping.

They dropped me at the Starbucks near Rayzor Ranch, but offered to take me further, or where I needed to go. Offered me alc, among other things also. Hitching northbound on Bonnie Brae, there's a good spot for pulling over into the 7/11 parking lot. Also, a good spot to see the sunset & either get rides North or either way on University.  - Be careful hitching on University at Night though, it's tough.

If you're not stopping at Stockholm, I think it might be better taking rides to Sillekrog and trying to continue past Stockholm from there rather than go in to the city itself and try from there.

  Once have been "dropped" at the OMV station, it was no longer possible for the two of us to hitchhike on the A93 towards Regensburg. The busy road is fenced all the way around and crossing it would be very dangerous. The driveway is also leading in many directions from there what makes it difficult to hitchhike with a sign. Through a conversation, we were able to get a lift to the McDonald's on the opposite side of the road and continue from there.

  well, I was dropped off at exactly this spot, which I quickly abandoned for two reasons:
  ONE: there was a sketchy local already there, and he didn’t look too happy to see me thumbing as well. And no chance I was going to wait for him, because I don’t know who the hell would pick him up. 
  TWO: there was a line of maintenance vehicles effectively blocking cars from getting to this spot. They were repairing the road or something. 
  Ultimately I pretty quickly decided to just walk to a nearby gas station.
  However, I am sure this is normally a good spot, just a series of unlucky circumstances!

  Normally I think it shield be a good spot but I was there on a Monday at 5 pm and waited for 3 hours. Some cars stopped but they all went in the direction of Marseille. As I wanted to go to Montpellier, I decided to sleep inside the Service Station. There is a canape , wifi, electricity, Pizza and Even a shower. In the Next morning I only had to wait for 15 minutes. So maybe I just was‘nt really lucky the day before…

  Very sunny spot, no shade whatsoever. Next to a truck stop so plenty of room on the on ramps to pull over. Traffic was very scarce so I thought it'd be a whole, but the first trucker to pull in picked me up. Probably felt bad about the heat. In a pinch probable wouldn't be a bad place to highway walk (if you don't get any rides) Doesn't seem like there was a police presence nearby at all.

  Many people heading South. If you have the guts to ask for a ride and don't mind being turned down, you'll probably get a ride sooner. Also a truck rest area so long ride garanteed if you want to go with a truck.

  Saw that most reviews around this road are a bit dated (>10 years). But also in 2024, hitchhiking eastward out of Ushguli towards Tsageri/Kutaisi remains an adventure. On the short distance, ongoing road constructions make it relatively easy to get short rides from construction crews in all sorts of vehicles. But where these end, traffic is very sparse and walking some of the way might be worth it, especially since the surroundings are just spectacular.

  We wanted to go to slovenia but most of the cars go westwards. There is not much traffic bit people are very nice. Many drivers stopped and asked us where we want to go but it was not our direction. Finally we decided to take a ride to a gas station on the highway that heads to slovenia eventough it was not the shortest way.

  Really the best spot in front of former car wash, as cars do stop and as a local I used it tons of time to go to Međugorje and beyond. Cars are not going fast and will see you from intersection when on red light as well and make their call wether to stop or not. Although it seems odd trust me it's a good spot. From Međugorje, major crossing that goes to town and to other places you can get another ride for further. Loads of trucks as well. People are totally cool in this region

  Tre malfacile dumnokte. Kelkaj homoj haltas, neniu volis paroli kun mi. Eblas, ke homoj haltas venante de la ĉefa vojo, sed ankaŭ tre malfacile pro la kurbo kaj rapideco, malbona videbleco.

  Iu donis al mi 50 lirojn dirante al mi preni transporton al la sekva urbo, ĉar mi tute ne sciis kiom kostis. Mi haltigis la unuan kamioneton, eniris kaj kiam mi rimarkis, ke 50 liroj estas nur unu eŭro, la ulo lasis min ĉe la tria benzinstacio. Mi ne bezonis pagi la 50, do tio estis veturo. Sed mi preferus fari tion por provi veturon ĉe la granda transversa sekcio ĉe la O-6 antaŭe, ĉar estas lumo dumnokte, pli da tempo por vidi vin de malproksime kaj ankaŭ kelkaj homoj venantaj de la O-6 pli malrapide.

  A couple people who couldnt see the sign properly pulled over, but then weren't going to Tromsø. Most people ignored. You might have more luck hitching to the road junction further North then hitching again across to Tromsø. The bus to Tromsø does stop here, so it's a good spot to attempt if you've got nothing else to do.

  The guys didn't just drop me off, but invited me to their house, where we shared meal with their families, shared stories and just sharing a great social experience. They offered me a place for sleep, but I told that I want to go further, so they dropped me at the highway again and helped me find a driver to the next destination. They also gave me 15 euros in Jordan money, so I can buy something for myself. Very positive ^^

  I don't agree with previous reviews, maybe something changed there.

  There's no stop before the tunnel. After tunnel there's a small place for cars to pull over. To signalized, you need to stay on a narrow side of the bridge where it's easy to fall down from very high place. Cars go extremely fast and don't see you at all. It felt impossible and nobody stopped, so I left.

  i hitchhiked here several times, usually it takes between 1-20 minutes to get a car going far south. a lot of people going south to częstochowa and katowice stop here. if you want to go to south of poland be patient and dont go to rawa mazowiecka (theres a lot of cars going there but getting out of rawa is difficult)

  Coming from Tallink line. Wasn't lucky enough to get a ride before we arrived. Passengers are directed away from the car traffic through bridges, and you won't have enough time to walk to where the cars exit before they finish. Was lucky that a Viking ferry was arriving just half an hour later, so I headed to the better spot next to the roundabout.

  We were 2 people (a girl and a boy) on our way to Slovenia. We spent the whole day trying to get out of Graz, it was hell, this city really is evil. After hitchiking for like 3 hours from the other bus station (Karl-Huber-gasse), we decided to go to this one (Dr.-Lister-gasse) a Slovenian guy stopped. There is a lot of space for cars to stop in the bus lane and it is probably the only convenient spot to leave Graz towards south. Good luck!
  We had a sign towards SLO.

  Good spot towards the highway, but I would not recommend going towards the highway if you are heading towards Bologna, since there is not much place to stop for cars before the entrance to the highway and in front of the gate it is illegal, we waited there around 4 hours, so id only hitchhike towards the highway if ur heading towards Firenze, otherwise try taking the non-highway route to Bologna.

  I was sat sipping a coffee after my first menu du jour since leaving Spain, glancing at maps and figuring out how best to get to Toulouse that day, where I intended to stay with a friend. Annoyingly for me, it seemed the best spot to leave Ax was the place I was dropped off at in the first place. Fantastic.
  The cool Andorran air was well gone at this point, especially since lunch had carried me into the hottest part of the day, so the walk to the spot felt like a real slog.

  Upon arrival, a second thing hit me, this spot is great…for the other direction! Going north you have a big open car park with more than enough space to pull over. On the south side…a grassy ditch. Oh well, we roll with it!

  This is a spot where a sign would be beneficial, much to my lack of forward planning. I wanted to make the most of the steady stream of traffic leaving Andorra, but the problem is they're headed all over the country! (a quick glance at the number plates will show you the true appeal of cheap cigarettes and alcohol.)

  Eventually, I was picked up by a very nice man in a very nice car with air conditioning that felt like heaven. He wasn't going straight to Toulouse, but to Béziers instead, meaning he would turn off of the motorway before any service stations came up. Much to my chagrin, I agreed to be dropped off at the Peage just past Pamiers. He was kind enough to give me a marker and some cardboard, though, to make leaving Pamiers just that little bit easier; for which I am incredibly grateful!

  Yooo the other guy was right, I had to jump a fuc*in fence lol. I did that on the southern side with the park/garden whatever since nobody will see you. But be careful cause there are some highway cameras after you jump, I'd say stick close to the side of the road and move fast. I went straight to the bathroom for some 10 mins just in case, then the hitchhiking went pretty smoothly, big time traffic. I was going to Tokushima, some guy going to southern Kyushu picked me up all the way. 
  Easy spot, kinda annoying that it's locked and you gotta jump but tbh it's an easy jump, just be careful there's some weird soil mixed with grass around the fence which can suck your feet in. 
  I got all on video on my yt channel @PolyglotAbroad if you need a demo.

  Very good spot to go to France

  From Turin, it's better to take the bus to Rivoli and walk to the station rather than try to hitchhike elsewhere. The fence around the station is bent to the west and you can walk in without any problems. Be careful not to stick out your thumb as the police fined the young woman who did so; it's better to ask people directly when they stop to take a break,
  A gentleman took us to the border in a few minutes.

  Cars are very slow here because its a hill after a intersection. But it was very low traffic but mostly because we were hitching late in the evening (~6pm). Also it looked like mostly local traffic in the evening. I would suggest going in the morning when all the tourists are going to the other beaches.

  It's good to hitchhike near exit. Asking people on the parking lot is also fine, if you feel confident.
  A lot of people going really far away stop here for McDonald's. 
  Most of them were fully packed and didn't have much space in the car.
  We were 2 guys with bags => needed half empty car.
  There will be probably some truckers - again if you are confident, just ask.

  One male 40+, no sign, one small backpacks, sunny day. On my way across the bridge to the island. 
  Technically it wasn't hitchhiking.  I was just walking to the island when the scooter stopped and older lady took me across the tunnel.  
  It turned out pedestrians are not allowed in the tunnel (my map was showing otherwise). 
  On my way back the same thing happened. The difference was that I walked into tunnel more. And that time it was an older man who took me to the mainland.

  A fairly bad spot for hitch hiking, but maybe the best spot in this tangled mess of highways around Düsseldorf. 

  There is no place where you can stand and catch most of the traffic from the car garages, or the people going to the car garages, or people dropping off for departures. Car traffic for arrivals, departures, taxis, and valet service are all mixed together. Exhausting, but doable. Lots of local traffic but also lots of traffic for long distances in all directions. 

  Hold out for a good ride, if you get dropped off on the wrong side-highway there will be no traffic going further in the direction you want.

  Take a few minutes to look for a better spot and report back. One of the remote parking garages might be good.

  Best spot to leave Berlin south or west. 
  Ask around for rides west or(!) south and respekt common etiquette if there are other hitchhikers. I hitchhiked 15 times from here (mostly alone) and it always worked.
  Waiting time 5-90 min.
  60% of the time you end up 50km further at a big rest stop in Michendorf where A3 and A9 splits. While there might be another 45 min waiting time awaiting you its still worth it to go there. After Michendorf it will get better!

  I could have gone with a czech trucker, but I was worried about the language barrier, and was not desperate enough yet. If I did it again, I'd go for truckers immediately and try to get to the rest stop Varvazov behind the czech border.

  Friendly traffic, but didn't stop that much. Met my first panhandler of my trip n the Walmart parking lot.

  Got finally a ride in a pickup bed.

  Great spot to Moldova. Many locals from all backgrounds travel together here in busses. Russians, Romanians, Moldovans and Ukrainiansm Don't bother using a sign, it's expected to talk to people who park there for several reasons. They are very willing to help you find a ride. Use Google translate if you don't speak the language. You will need a passport to enter Moldova and be prepared to wait at the border, but it is truly worth it. A friend and I waited for 90 minutes, most buses were full but we got great help. At the end a Moldovan tour bus took us with them through northern Moldova all the way to Chisinau, for free without any problems.

  At this moment gas station is under rebuilding and the place is almost dead. Only few cars stopped and it can be challenging to get something.

  Good spot with plenty of traffic where you can easily catch a ride as far as the Netherlands or France. This is a point where traffic can go any direction tho, so a sign is definitely recommended.
  I got offered a ride to Paris in minutes (thumb) and one to the Netherlands not much later (sign).

  Do not go here in the evening! It may be pretty good spot if you come early in the morning and hitch a ride with a truck driver. Although not so long as Horgos queues, you should go to the truck queue and ask drivers and then just wait for your chosen driver behind the border.

  You’re visable from 200/300 meters, there’s plenty room for the cars to stop,  especially as they’re slowing down to enter the roundabout. Not enough space for the truckers, sadly. Some shade avaliable.

  On the other side of the roundabout (towards padua) theres a motel with what looks like another good spot, since it combines fraffic from all directions towards padua. Didn’t get a chance to try it out, because wuickly i found a pleasant ride to Padua centro.

  It's actually the only place possible to hitchhike. Other places are too urban. Not a very good spot. Loads of paid transport blocking the other cars. So it was hard to hike. After 25 minutes I got a very short ride (1/3 way to Olangapo). And then I took a jeepney to Olangapo. Generally the Philippines is a good place to hitchhike. But the part between Subic and Olangapo it's better to take a jeepney.

So you can walk here and wait from the gas station side under trees shadow. If it doesn't work, take a minibus back to the city and move into a departing one. Cost 150da (60cent).

  Very strange place indeed when trying to go south. Took me around 4 frustrating hours in 40°C to get away from here. I tried asking at the gas station, asking the truck drivers and thumbing at the exit. The last one mentioned worked in the end.

  I think the reason why this is such a strange place, apart from the fact that the gas station serves both directions, is that this highway is not the most used one when going south. Notice that when you put into the GPS a route let's say from Strasbourg to Lyon, it prefers the highway A6, that runs parallel on the west to this one. However, at the exit from A36 close to Dole it is signed that this highway leads to Lyon. Which I believe makes all the drivers that don't use GPS take this highway. Which was in the end my experience. I encountered lots of older local drivers unwilling to take hitchhikers, or families that were fully packed.

  I got stuck in Port Hedland for 4.5 hours without a lift, camped next to the road, and waited another 1.5 hours in the morning, and finally got a lift with a girl driving to Monkey Mia!
  Port Hedland is an industrial town and there are a lot of mine vehicles driving only a short distance here, also a lot of road trains going to and from the port. None of these vehicles stopped in the 6 hours I was there... don't even bother signalling to the road trains.
  My advice would be to avoid Port Hedland, and if you do end up there, try and find small lifts to get to the edge of town and then start at or before sunrise to catch the early travellers who are driving long distances.

  It's not ideal because hitchhiking is prohibited at toll booths in France (the police won't give you a fine tho), but I was fortunate and got picked up after 5min. Cars can stop at the rest area to pick you up, and you can also ask drivers there.

  To be honest, from my experience, Szczuczyn is not a great place for a hitchhiker. Multiple roads go in the same direction from here, and cars split. I wanted to reach Suwałki, so it might have been better to take the highway rather than a local ride to Grajewo. If going from the south and able to do so, avoid Szczuczyn and Grajewo at all.

  This is the place where they form the train towards to Nouadhibou. We came here around 12pm. Some people are gathering around passenger wagon. If you want to ride on the top of iron ore watching all the desert landscapes just move further and find a car that suits you. Train moved to Fedrick in 1,5h or so and also stopped there for around 30min, so we could change the car closer to the train head. The time might be different, so it's better to get here earlier. Make sure you bring warm clothes and something to cover yourself during the night since it might be cold, also take something to protect your eyes (we had a goggles), enough water and some snacks. The whole ride takes around 20h.

Wouldn’t recommend for long distance !

  There is a small door to access the station from the end of the street where the employees park their car. You can come here by train (there is a small train station nearby - but we didn't try as a friend drove us there from Dijon). 

  However, it was late, we were thinking to leave the petrol station to take a train nearby when someone stopped and took us directly to Lyon.

  This road is connected to the main road on the island, we could have walked a bit further to get a better spot (10min to the main road) but we didn't have to, bc we got the ride in about 10 minutes.

  Literally the second we arrived we got stopped by a police car and forced to walk back to the entry of the highway, threatening us to give us a 135€ fine if they saw us again. Anyway, little tip: All Swiss cars are on the right side of the péage, because the left lanes are reserved for telepéage which usually only french cars use. So, I imagine it's rather easy to get a ride towards Geneva as they all drive through the right lane and can stop next to you

  The spot is five star. Plenty of space to pull over, good visibility. Tons of slow traffic. The people? Hmmmmm... 

  With such a good spot and tons of traffic, all of which was going towards sarajevo, I may have had high expectations, but it turned into a 2.5 hour wait, which considering just how many cars where passing and how good the spot was, felt a little excessive.

   The thing which was properly demoralising though, was the fact that almost nobody smiled or waved or acknowledged me like in normal countries. Everyone seemed to hate their lives and treated the lone hitchiker shivering in the snow with total apathy. I got lots of frowns and cold hard stares. I agree with the other comment at the gazprom spot (free wifi btw) Nobody here seems to give a damn about hitchikers.

  All was well as eventually I did get picked up by the biggest gigachad on the planet (they spoke perfect english too) and had an awsome ride straight to sarajevo, but still I found the way people looked at me here unlike anywhere else in the world, and pretty unexpected. If you want to hitchike to sarajevo, make sure you be ok with waiting, and getting ignored/frowned at a lot. Hopefully it'll be better for you though :)

  The Lycian Way took me here and it's a parking lot. As I crossed the last bridge I saw a car about to drive off, so I asked them if they could take me to Kumluova and they agreed

  Towards Salo, this is the area where the national park ends and most cars take this road to go back to Salo or further, slower speeds and touristy area which makes easier for cars to pick you up. Wait time of 5-15 minutes

  Was standing with a sign "Remscheid" for 1 minute before the traffic light where people turn left to get on Autobahn. A kind lady picked up took me to the resting station (the one before Remscheid). The best spot in Cologne to hitchhike towards Hanover/Berlin so far, cuz you target exactly the traffic which will take you to the big resting station which is very good for hitchhiking.

  A good spot if heading to Trondheim, BUT do not go closer than Elverum roundabout because there are not convenient spots before Elverum except Ånestadkrysset which is 8km before Elverum roundabout (turn to Trondheim road)

  Got lucky, this is a bad and dangerous spot. Driver dropped us here, because of roadworks on the roundabout next to the ramp. Next driver took us in, because he thought it was too stupid to stand there.

  Stood in from of some houses. Pretty bad. Best you can hope for is a driver that understands they have to go on the parallel road at the next turn and go bad to you. Or like my driver, see you when they go the wrong way, and remember you when they drive the other way.

  Direction Coimbra. I was not going there (to Lisbon instead) however a young Spanish couple in a van stopped on that lane to offer me help, despite i was waiting on the lane to the highway. They were driving the very first vehicle who passed by and after i declined, no one else stopped. And no one really drove through my lane, so i walked back to Abrantes direction national road till a man picked me up for some km.

  A few folks stopped, but they were pretty short rides. I got a few kick downs. Smokes and donuts. The ramp has a curb, but there is a wide shoulder on the highway. Although traffic is moving pretty quickly, and no one seemed to want to stop.

  I left the spot because of construction. I agree, it seems like the other ramp in town may be better for both north and south bound traffic. Although if someone offers a ride out to Pleasant Valley (north), you could ask to get dropped off at the Manzanita rest stop, and try hitching from there. It's not far, but I wouldn't want to walk there.

  The gas station itself is very bad, very little traffic. You will loose your time there. But its possible to hitchhike behind the station directly on the road. Its an old border crossing, there is a lot of place to stop and speed is limited so cars go slow. I got a lift from there to Reims quite easily.

  Hitchhiking with sign "Austria WIEN", it is a good spot where cars can stop on the side of the road easily...  at first it didn't seem like there is many people going to Austria, but as soon as I was about to give up a guy took me all the way to Vienna Center... Next time I'd probably go to the other end of Břeclav direction to Vienna, but on maps I didn't find better spot than this one.

  Small town, with a good spot to hitchhike on the road and asking directly at the gas station.

  Got offered a ride by someone who stopped at the gas station and saw me first with my sign. He has a hitchhiker friend so it motivates him to stop and help.
  Offered to hang out in Denver while I'm around.

  There's a jail few miles up north, might reduce chance of rides from local or depending on your looks.

  I was going to Lisbon and came here from Castelo Branco northern district by Linha Azul bus (1€). You should drop off before this road intersection, you'll have to walk back longer otherwise.
  I waited on the western side of this previously pinned point, facing Schreiber (look at the map).
  After 20 minutes a spanish expat living in Coimbra picked me up. He's one of the many drivers avoiding the nearby highway. He dropped me near Vila Velha de Rodao where the road to Coimbra begins northwards. It was hard to leave that mentioned place, as no car enters the highway to Lisbon. So if you're here in Castelo Branco, make sure your driver doesn't take you to a village. Or choose a highway entrance.

  If you wait behind the traffic light (near the bus stop) most people won't see you, maybe only like the first two or three rows of cars waiting in front of the traffic light (all behind that are going to fast). After some time we moved to to the other side of the crossroad and walked on the grass parralel to the cars stoped on the traffic lifgt. This worked and we, two guys with a sign to Wiener Neustadt, were moved there. The man who was driving us said this spot is only good around 4pm when most people are coming back home from work.

  Not a great spot for me. I started before the toll booth trying to get a ride to Berlin or Leipzig, and a service guy came out and escorted to the parking lot after the toll booth.

  Ĉi tiu loko estas malfacila. Mi devis resti aliflanke de la vojo por ke aŭtoj povu vidi min de malproksime kaj samtempe mi povus ankaŭ provi tiujn venantajn de ĉi tiu vilaĝo. Mi uzis 6-kilometran ŝildon por ke mi povu almenaŭ atingi la sekvan vilaĝon, la ulo kondukis min al du pliaj vilaĝoj kaj donis al mi teon kaj frititajn terpomojn, bonega tempo.
