  Perfect spot: cheap gas station. Everyone gets here before entering the highway (trucks and cars) It is very easy to talk to people here. Was heading in the direction A22/ Brennero on my way to Innsbruck.

  Got a late afternoon ride to Rio Grande in the winter in about half an hour, thumb only. I think I stood about 100 meters north of where the dot is, where the wide street meets the highway from the northwest, though the ride came from the highway itself.

  Most of the traffic here goes to Klagenfurt or Villach. We were trying to reach Italy, but got no luck. All long distance travelers have got packed cars. The staff on the gas station were very unfriendly. Even got into trouble with the police for hitching from here. Eventually got a ride to Villach and tried reaching Italy from there with better results.

  Hitchhiking in Saudi on the highway is not a problem, did it in front of the police and no one cared.

  Here mostly local traffic, but they can give you a short ride to next highway cross, after which there are mostly vehicles that go to Riyadh. All these crosses have bridges under which you can hide from the heat(it was 45 degrees when I was hitchhiking)

  Nice Arab man stopped by me, gave me money, offered food & place to sleep at his house(normal in Saudi Arabia, 90% of drivers are this hospital)

  Saudi Arabia is the best!!!

  a toll gate before Belgrade. Come with a bg cardboard for a big sign. i tried hitching here with a big NIS sign. After 45 minutes cops came to do their kind of hitchhiking (stoping and controling cars) and they chased me away. Luckily there is a gas station 1.5km down the road. there is not so much going on on the gas station but it is ok.
  I imagine that for me it might have been faster to go to belgrade and hitch from there than trying here but not sure. i think if you re not unlucky like me with the cops you will ge t a lift south from the tollgate eventually.

  There is a gas station + a restaurant there. Many cars come by, around 50% go to Valencia and 50% go to Madrid. You can ask drivers at the gas station or at the restaurant, we did both and found someone in the restaurant right away. A cute couple took us 1 hour closer to madrid.
  Tip: When you find a service station on their way, make sure it has many ratings (1000+) so you don't get stranded.

  Another attempt with a Villach/Slovenia sign, on a weekday, not many vans. First day waited 2 hours with no luck, second day was just about to give up when a Serbian guy (going to Serbia) took me. Be patient. There is a supermarket in the village 3 km north, u can use the tunnel to get to the other side of highway and there is a small road that goes to the village. When u get at Bundesstrasse, on your right, just where the forest ends and farm houses bedin, there is a very nice hunters tower where you can spend the nite and save time on pitching the tent

  We couldn't get a ride here, maybe we're not used to hitchhike from traffic lights but nearly all the cars here are doing short distance rides to Limoges or around, and we wanted to go to Paris taking the highway. 
  We had to walk to take a bus to the north of Limoges closer to the highway.

  On a pas réussi à être prises ici, peut-être parce qu'on était pas habituées à faire du stop depuis un feu rouge, mais presque toutes les voitures qui passaient par là ne vont pas vers Paris (notre destination) ou faire de grands trajets sur l'autoroute, la majorité allait dans Limoges même ou aux alentours.
  On a fini par marché pour prendre un bus vers un autre spot au nord de Limoges plus proche de l'autoroute pour avoir des voitures qui y vont directement.

  One male 40+, no sign, one big and one small backpacks, sunny day. On my way from Angeles to Malasiqui.
  It was actually the first spot free of houses, vendors, shops etc. coming from Angeles center.
  Decent enough. On a curve, but with quite some space to stop, and you will be visible from far. The traffic still busy, bus ok. Better than in the city itself.
  After 15 minutes a motorbike stopped. He said he was going to Tarlac. Actually he was going only that direction. He dropped me in the middle of Capas. Which meant a long walk to find a new good spot. But then quickly I got a new ride.

  This is an ideal spot if you want to go South into Switzerland or Italy. We had our sign out for Mals in Northern Italy and almost instantly got a ride from this older fellow. He took us right to the Italian border but wouldn’t cross it because he always gets pulled over for drunk driving he said. This spot is near a shopping centre, and a round-a-bout so cars slow down. There is a bus stop where cars can pull over safely. I think it would be a good spot as well going the other direction to get on to the highway

  We ( Boy & Gril ) waited with another hitchhiker couple! They got a ride to the next gas station after 40mins. We were so lucky to find an elderly couple who speak english, that could take us all the way to Bordeaux :D
  We definitely had to wait so long because not many pass by early in the morning! 2/3pm is the best time here. 
  Also it may be better to get a ride before the gas station in france as the gas prices are higher - still some people go to eat and do a stop here.

  A young man heading to Houma with his van picked me up, after first telling me it couldn't, due to a common misunderstanding. Being on a rush, he couldn't drive me all the way to the Gray exit, so he dropped me on the highway.

  I did this, took me more than 2 hours of buses to get back to an on-ramp.

  Not much traffic there, but okay spot.
  Played it with a sign assessing I'm a foreigner.

  Adam gave me a ride all across the city and even further. We stopped at his place, offered me some shrooms.
  He had a work mission up in the valley but offered to drop me afterward on the coast where I would keep going on my journey.

  this is a relatively good spot. It’s hard to hitch, but it’s the best option around, because there’s good traffic and trucks stop here to eat the restaurant. 
  Unless you’re want to take the bus, don’t accept short distance drides because they’ll get you to places that are hard to hitch from.

  Used this spot 2 times (couple and male alone) , got ride in 5 min to Myslenice twice. There is a traffic light just before so cars go reasonably slow and can see you from the traffic light. There is 3 lanes so make a big sign if you wanna go far. Personally just used my thumb as I wanted to go to Kosice.

  I was alone with sign trying to get to Bologna. You are kind of hidden behind the curve and there is a big sign "no autostop" above you. There are a lot of cars, but they are speeding. Also the spot where they could stop you was still occupied by some other cars setting their gps. And italians are not into taking hitchhikers, so the driver was a foreigner and he took me to the first exit.

  We tried to hitchhike at the entrance of the fast road to Elbasan, even though it seems impossible to stop (and the police was on the roundabout so we were afraid that nobody wanna stop in front of them), someone stopped after 10min. Albanian people don't really care about the space to stop =)

  Our ride dropped us off at the bus station despite us trying to explain that we were hit hitchhhiking, and then they kept driving in the direction we wanted to go, jajaja. So we had to walk across town for 30 minutes. Narrow streets, but if someone wants to stop they will. People are confused, though, they've never seen hitchhikers and can't figure out what we're doing, they wave and smile at us bewilderedly, despite our sign saying "Numpang", which is like indonesian for "free ride". But sooner or later someone always stops.

  The free bus to maxima isn't running anymore, I just took a regular bus to "Gariunai" station for 0,90€ and walked the rest of the way (which is a great option, there is a footpath next to the highway and you don't have to cross it, so it's really safe this way!). When I reached it I got a lift to Kaunas after just 5 minutes, so this is a really good spot, even though the cars are driving quite fast and there are already multiple lanes. But the cars can easily see you, and there is enough space to stop at the whole exit lane without bringing anyone in danger. If nothing else works you can always just ask the drivers that are doing a break here anyway. I can recommend this spot!

  A big station where all trucks stop when they're going to Slovakia, Hungary, Moldova, Romania and further. Once even the driver asked me first where I'm traveling when I arrived at the station, so it's really very easy. The best time is on Sunday evening because often the road to Slovakia is closed till 10pm and a lot of trucks are waiting for it to be open. There's a nice restaurant and you can exchange currency.

  I got dropped off by a driver at this petrol station/rest stop. Used the free toilets and filled my water bottles. Headed to the entrance to the motorway, where I waited for 10 minutes and a kind family headed to Ljubljana, picked me up.  There was a decent flow of cars and trucks, it was about 5pm at the time. If you wait with a sign with your destination or just your thumb you should have good luck with hitching from this spot no problems, highly recommended. Also accessible by walking, so it's possible to arrive without a ride 👍

  THREE SOLUTIONS:
  1. Go at the entrance  of the highway and do classic hitchike
  2 wait at the gasstation and ask everyone for lift. But there is not a lot of people.
  3 go to the bus stop on the E4.  Nice long area for cars to stop but they ride very fast.
  --> my solution: wait for a cars at the entrance 
  of the highway. If a car leave the E4 from the opposite direction to go straight to the gasstation walk to them while they filling their cars, then ask for a ride, you have good chance that ther will go back on the E4 on your direction.

  This spot just doesn't work. The cars cannot stop along the whole road. The south side of this highway access is much better, however it takes some time to cross the highway (it's forbidden and rather dangerous to cross via this bridge, so you have to use the other bridge in the west).

  Somehow, we managed to being picked up on the parking lot, but this was pure luck and the person just dropped us at the next highway exit (Matran) which we can really recommend.

  Does anybody actually enjoy hitching from a peage? I know I certainly don't! As a hitchhiker I prefer sticking to small country roads, I find it a lot more relaxed. Most importantly, though, it doesn't sit in a legal grey area like peages do.

  The “service station” consists of a tap and a toilet, no thrills here, so no cars stop. This means that you're going to be hitching straight from the gate. Luckily, in the Toulouse direction it's possible to stand just behind the “no pedestrians” sign and still be seen from the road, which certainly feels a little bit better than dancing with traffic.

  The man who dropped me off give me materials to make a sign, and I think that went a very long way towards helping me get a ride quickly. I wouldn't like to be thumbing here!

  Big thanks to the three lovely Algerian workmen on their way home to Toulouse in their car who's back window is held shut with duct tape. Your kindness made my afternoon.

  Should be pretty decent spot for Oslo, not that great for beyond. Not that many cars stopping at the gas station, but decent flow in the bus stop. Got a ride fast, someone who was going to the airport, so left us on a gas station in the ring road.

  At the bus stop on the highway, but the cars are allowed to stop there. After spending around 4,5 hours on the ramp and the gas station nearby (fuck!) I easily got a 20 km ride to Ås.
  The traffic at the highway is intensive, and the chance to be picked up is also high :)

  Hard to ger here from St. Moritz, we were lucky to get a ride to this spot from a lady we met. Probably easier to wait in Silvaplana since the road up the hill is a bit sketchy to walk on. This is a great spot though with room to pull over off the road, cars can be going a bit fast. We got a ride all the way north to the Liechtenstein border. Easy to get to Chur as well.

  This road kind of sucked for getting back the the marina, although by international standards it was still fairly good. Basically the problem is the locals are going not very far so smile without stopping, not realising that that two minute lift to the road to the marina would actually be kind of helpful while lugging a ton of supplies in the baking sun. They also somtimes realise you are a sailor and don't stop because they are not going to the gas station, even though a lift just to the turn off would be super helpful. There's also a couple of wannabe taxi drivers lurking about who expect $30 for a lift the to marina they are going to anyway.
  I did this route a couple of times, eventually someone would stop, but by marquesas standards this bit sucked for hitchiking.

  Work under the assumption you will walk some/all of it.

  As of now I think this is the best spot for east/northeast in Bucharest. It was recommended to me by a friend who hitchhikes very often from Bucharest to Tulcea and vice versa. This catches all traffic heading in this direction, and while there is technically no lane for cars to stop, the right lane is basically unused and so is a fairly practical stopping place. With single SLOBOZIA i got lucky and landed a direct ride to Tulcea, my final destination.

  It's hard to rate this spot. 

  Usually traffic here goes too fast, but I was lucky, because right when I started hitchhiking, the police came to control this part of the road and they had no problem with me hitchhiking there, they even suggested drivers that they stop to pick me up. So them controlling this road made traffic slow enough for cool drivers to notice me.

  But overall, it has a LOT of space to stop, so it's a better spot than the one after the tunnel earlier on this road.

From Yala train station, exit the building, turn right and walk 150m till the Songthaew (shared, open taxis) on the right, ask for Bannang Sareng (south of Yala town, 20baht) or Krong Pinang (here, 30 baht). Songthaews should leave also Saha Yala transport company (check google maps), not sure about the main bus terminal in the west.

A bit messy with slip roads etc by the side of a fast 2 lane road, but it worked as people pulled over in the slip road. Drivers where a shared taxi, spoke zero English but basic Russian worked. They wanted 4000t (7.50 EURO) to legend. I could have rejected but as it was getting dark and in a hurry I paid. Driver was honest and fun and waited with the foreign idiot.

  Firstly, I was hitchhiking behind the toll station, and one of the workers even smiled at me and gave me a wave. In only 10 minutes, a few cars stopped for me, but they were all going towards Venice. Then another worker came and made me leave (he seemed upset). I later returned and hitchhiked about 20 meters before the toll station and in 30 minutes, a lot of cars stopped, but again, they were all going to Venice. Then the upset worker returned and made me leave again, so I took a train instead.

  This spot can work if you're going to Venice, as a lot of cars stopped, but the workers do make it a bit unreliable.

  I was there on a Friday, there weren’t so many tourists. I had to ask around a lot and nobody wanted to take me. After that I took a sign saying “France” and stood at the entrance of the gas station, which eventually got me a hitch to Perpignan.

  Yes. I got a ride to Napoleon from here. But I was there and nearby for almost 10 fckn hours. I was staying in 5 different spots. And nothing. The best to get out from there: ask people directly at a gas station, make a sign and seat nearby a gas station so people will see you and stay on exit of gas station and McDonald, witch helped me. But if you can avoid - do that. That's not worth it. But Woodburn is a really good place and strong community. Was walking on a street and looking for a place to put a tent and a ranod guy approach on a car and offer to sleep on his backyard. And then his neighbor said I can sleep in his new camper. Good place but awful hitchhike

  Screw this hellhole. Had tons of visibility, tons of space, tons of traffic, yet it took 2 hours for someone to stop when I had a sign for a place literally 20 mins up the road almost everyone here would drive along. plenty of people waved and some even came over and took selfie with me, but nobody picked me up for 2 hours getting burnt in the sun. A place where the quality of the spot makes a 2 hour wait excessive. The guy who stopped was amazing and had travelled himself so kudos to him. Google translate conversation as no English. The rest stop has 300 years coin showers for ten mins, and 200 Yen washing machines, 100 Yen dryers.

  So we thought it would be a good idea to get dropped off here. (Our driver was going from Brno towards Liberec, and we wanted to go north to Ústí and Dresden.)

  There was a petrol station and a KFC, but the traffic was 90% local or more towards Hradec. After an hour of asking around a former hitchhiker kindly drove us to a better station a bit north.

  Don’t bother taking the expensive buses or train to Alishan, this road is perfectly hitchhikeable! I barely waited and a guy picked me up and brought me quite high on the road. Then I also quickly got picked up by a family who let me join their family hike before bringing me to the recreational parc of Alishan

  A good spot. A bus stop at a small road. But it didn't work. I guess it was due to fact it was late in the evening.  I started after 19:00 and gave up at 20:30.

  We tried to hitchhike to Istanbul (2 men). Overall, the location is average/poor – few drivers were going to Istanbul, most were heading towards Burgas, and the Turks heading to Istanbul were reluctant to pick up additional passengers. First, we tried hitchhiking at a gas station, then we tried to hitchhike directly on the highway. This seemed like a better method. Ultimately, we managed to hitchhike to a gas station on the A1, just before the junction for the Istanbul and Burgas roads.

  Very easy to hitchhike towards Pejë. Of you go on a hike in this area you can easily count on somebody to bring you back.

  In this spot there is a very friendly Kosovan man who camps on the river. He has a lot of signs like hotel and café. That is kind of a joke, but he will actually offer you coffee and even a place to sleep if needed I think. He will also show you all of his funny constructions he made there.

  BE AWARE: he says he has been drinking the water in the river for 15 years and never had a problem: "the fish drink, so I drink" is his motto. DON'T TRUST HIM. The three of us all got sick from that water, and it must be that since we haven't eaten the same stuff for the rest (made the stupid choice of also filling our bottles there)

  Going towards Pico do Arieiro. It was late in the afternoon, heavy fogging, very minimal traffic, maybe 40-50 cars in 15 minutes. The spot itself is in the corner next to the STOP sign so can hitchhike both roads and people have to slow down anyways (one road for STOP sign, the other for hairpin corner). I rate it 3 stars as the spot for cars to stop isn't the best. Thankfully traffic is very minimal so that's not really a danger. First couple who stopped also went to Pico do Arieiro so it was an easy hitchhike to the top.

  This spots a bit tricky depending on the time of day. Unfortunately most of the day it’s Vietnamese trucks which don’t go to Phnom Penh (if you’re going that way). It’s best to move a bit back from the Cambodian side of the boarder. Only maybe 100m and you’ll see that all the cars that drop people at the boarder chuck a u-ie and then come past you. Most will ask for money but with a Phnom Penh sign I got a free lift in ~30 mins (30 mins waiting at the boarder in the wrong spot)

I was also allowed to use the (very clean) restroom for free and staff was very friendly.

  Amazing spot, there was enough space to stop and everyone going to Beius/Stei/Deva is going your way. There was construction works though so maybe the space to stop doesn't stay long. If you're getting here from town, you can take the bus 511 at least one stop longer than Google maps is proposing, the bus passed by us after we got off and started walking which was a bit annoying.

  It's a dangerous place (cars are really fast and buses are coming to the bus stop), so you have to be careful. Visibility is not good - you have to stand very close to the road, on the edge of bus stop. One person stood before the bridge (pedestrian passage) and the other on the bus stop, after one hour somebody took us only to Pszczyna. Pros: there is a place for a car to stop.

A few taxis stopped (they're all orange in oman so easy to identify, but a simple la, shookran. was all that was needed for them to leave me alone). Lots of traffic (much of it internal) and bright sunlight, lots of false starts as people stopped but then were only going to the shops, so that meant it wasn't the most pleasant wait, but eventually a legend pulled over and took me to al ain!!

  (might change)

  The highway is closed off. Only a few trucks travel on it. There is a big police checkpoint in the direction of Urumqi. They will not let you pass (as we found out later).

  We took a tractor back to the main road.

  I wanted to visit Meteora so I left highway and went this road for few kilometers with my thumb up. 

  Very low traffic, but they go slow. Managed to find ride after around 1 hour of walking. Got dropped off at the amazing travelers place where I could rest. Totally recommend going there

  Très bon spot pour moult directions. Attention, si vous stoppez à la barrière de péage, mettez-vous AVANT la borne. Les gendarmes qui sont juste en face sont susceptibles de vous verbaliser, ou vous menaceront de le faire.

  Bon spot mais on a quand même attendu longtemps, à deux, pour Toulouse.

  I have tried this spot few times to go to Switzerland. Every time i waited 60 min holding a sign "Génève - péage de Beynost". 

  After 60min, i decided to hitchhike only with a thumb. Within 10minutes, 2 cars stopped. I asked them to drive me to "Beynost": it's 6min ride from this spot and from there you can reach the toll by foot. The 2nd car dropped me there. 


  Also, they change the layout of the road there and there isn't much space for cars to stop. But it's still okay

  Has a lot of potential and maybe we were just unlucky but this was not a good point to go East. Many going South that we didn't ask though. Austrians are very difficult people when it comes to hitchhiking, not much luck with them. We settled for a short ride into Salzburg with an American tourist to try and find a better spot

  Best place in the area to get to France - and from there everything is wayyyyyy easier. Service/petrol station just before the tunnel (PS. don't try to hitch a hike from the toll before the tunnel, because it is illegal and you might be moved, instead ask around the petrol station). 
  To access it just follow the road via Susa, on the roundabout take the southern exit (road that is parallel to Via Susa) and just follow the road, it will go under the highway and then turn into the highway, from there just walk on the highway for around 200m and you can see already signs of the service station.

  15-20 minutes, which is not bad, but position not really good for a hitchhike. If you will go on ramp u will see the "no pedestrian blah blah blah" sign and others. So best strategy is to stay little before it and stay on corner. There is traffic light and long way before you. So drivers have a planty of time to see you.

  Our ride was very kind and insisted we wait for the bus to Pacitan, that he would wait with us and flag the bus down, that it would be by any moment, and that nobody would pick us up.
  They have very good intentions but avoid this kind of help at all costs. We waited, losing daylight, with lots of completely unintelligible googletranslate, until finally we were able to understand from him that maybe the bus would come in 45 minutes, and if not, then in 1.5 hours. By now it was dark and we had already wasted 30 minutes with this very kind man who talked and talked even though we couldn't understand anything, not even with googletranslate.
  He kept insisting to wait, that nobody would pick us up, but as soon as I tried to flag down a car, one stopped and took us all the way to Pacitan. 
  Here they have lots of space to stop, it's a wide road, in front of the mosque.

  I stood just _before_ the traffic lights, which was recommend to me by a local passing by. (maybe that's good because drivers don't accelerate yet, don't have to stop at the bus station (where indeed many busses stop), and still have enough time to pull over into the empty space next to the street (which at this point is still within in city limits so no need to worry about "stopping on the highway") idk.)

  An ideal location for getting to RENNES or Brittany
  Position yourself just after the roundabout exit so that cars stop in front of LocEco.
  Accessible by tramway 2 (Le Cardo stop)
  I've waited dozens of times, and never for more than 15 minutes
  Lots of hitchhikers, expect to meet friends :)

  This seems like a great spot to go south, although probably mostly short distance trips. Not a lot of traffic, but one of the first cars took us. Since we had unsuccessful been trying to get out of Innsbruck from different locations for the last ~2½ hours we were desperate and took the first car, even if it was only for a short trip.

  Lots of cars going through, but you mostly get ignored. Be prepared to wait. I first tried unsuccessfully with a card saying "Stuttgart", which is a bit too ambitious. Then I switched to a sign saying "A5 süd". Eventually I joined with two other hitchhikers, who were going to Paris. I was taken to Karlsruhe by a German man. It seems that waiting closer to the ramp is slightly more effective.

  I’ve decided to use this spot because of bus stop, where I could hide in case of heavy rain (it was a rainy day). There are also traffic lights just before the bus stop, so cars are slowed down a bit. Plus they can safely use the bus stop to stop there. It took me only about 20m to get a direct ride back home to Zilina (Slovakia) which is around 190km.

There is a bus shelter and gas station and a place you can sit on by the road. Great spot.

  One male 40+, with a sign "Oslo", one big and one small backpacks, sunny and warm day. Going to Oslo.
  Not too good place. Quite little traffic (a car every 2 minutes). Not really a place to stop. But cars go really slowly and there is good visibility.
  I waited only 15 minutes. The fact that I was wearing a t-shirt with a big Polish emblem helped me loooads. A Polish couple, who stopped, told me that they had done it only coz they saw that t-shirt.
  They were superb nice and took a bit longer way to drop me after Kristinehamn.

  It's hard to rate this one. It seems like a perfect spot because all traffic is joining the road to the North East (the road I wanted) and there's a gas station where you can talk to drivers. Some people stopped on the road. Everyone I spoke to was friendly. Everyone I spoke to was only going 10 minutes up the road. In the end, I took a bus to Geneva to meet a friend.

  I wasnt brave enough to reach the toll spot (there’s like 5 “pedestrians forbidden” signs) so I waited after the roundabout. Not really the best because 75% of the cars that go to the highway come from the other road nearby. And there’s no space for the cars to stop (but ppl don’t go that fast cause they’re just leaving the roundabout). 

  Luckily i got a ride for Cavaillon (after Avignon) after 40mn with a “A7 sud” sign.

  Stood on the opposite side of petrol station entry as the point shows. Lots of cars going both north and south, so you get a lot of smiles, shrugs, and pointing in opposite direction, but shade and close to petrol station so hitchability is good. Got a ride in the wrong direction (people walked up to us from behind, not having read the sign) after about 15 minutes, and then one in the right direction 15 minutes later. This was mid july, during high tourist season, so waiting times are probably longer when the city isn't swamped with campers.

  Perfect spot with excellent shoulder at the roundabout right in Giarmata. It is located along road "DJ691, about one kilometer west of the local train station (there's a few trains and buses per day from Timi to Giarmata, alternatively you could even thumb your way there from the city). The spot seems to be well frequented, as it's located along the main thoroughfare leading through Timisoara towards the north and motorway A1. Plus, there's plenty of long distance drivers, especially on sundays, heading towards Budapest, Vienna (the two of us manged to hitch a ride there in no time) and beyond.

  Maybe we didnt get lucky but there was only tourists cars going feom blue eye. Most of them were filled with families, so didnt have place for 2 people. But eventually very nice moroccan tourists picked us up to sarande. Also not much place to stop but traffic is low so its fine.

  Started hitchhiking near this spot and soon a traffic jam formed due to roadworks ahead. I started walking towards the castle and a couple of minutes a car slowly caught up with me (due to traffic) and I was offered a short lift to the end of the jam (they went to the beach where I didn't need to go)

  It's quite a busy gas station, so I got a ride pretty quickly (without asking, just hitching at the exit). A truck driver passing Kraków took me to the Kraków ring road and dropped me off on the highway. I took a short walk to the nearby Lidl for a bus.

  Sorry guys, but this might be my lucky spot! Within 10 minutes I got a short ride to the next gas station/rest area. The driver mentioned it’s not a safe spot since the ramp is already part of the motorway — but in my opinion, it’s still a usable place for hitchhiking north.

One stopped, they saw my blue jacket together with the sign and thumbs and took us al the way to Zwolle. they had to go to Amersfoort. Arguably the best spot for leaving Groningen.

  We got dropped off by another car before the toll and walked on the path on the right side towards this parking lot. There were police at the checkpoint and they were using the pullout to do checks. They were friendly enough to give us a ride the the roundabout just before the toll on the other side, so maybe this counts as our shortest hitch of the journey?

Alternative idea is the Scania service center just behind you, I did manage to find a lorry going a long distance in couple hours time, so might be worth the shot, as asking around there may be way better than just staying here.

  One male 40+, no sign, one big and one small backpacks, sunny day. On my way from Dagupan to Subic.
  Dagupan didn't want to finish. It was constantly an urban area. I took a bus ride to Lingayen thinking it'd help. And then I walked and walked and there were still houses. 
  I got tired and stopped here. Not a very good spot. Limited space to stop. Still shops around.  Just before the petrol station. No shade.
  And as always in the Philippines, a crap place means a quick ride. 
  In 2 minutes I got a ride to Alaminos.
  But the rest of the day wasn't so fast. After Santa Cruz it went wery slowly. I did less than 200 km in the whole day. In the end it got dark and I had to take a bus to my final destination.

  There is a very serious checkpoint. They told us it‘s a military area. While they were very friendly, they informed us, that we can get arrested for 10 days. They forced us to turn around with a driver they stopped. He had to bring us to the next police station in Nalati. 
   
  At the police station we were treated good. They forced to check us into a hotel and told us to bugger off in the morning. 

   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.

  Not much traffic as the border moves slowly but more cars than I thought. Maybe one or two cars every 5-10 minutes. I started walking to Bela Crkva as it's only 10km away and the road is straight and easy for people to see you. Got picked up pretty quick after 20 minutes or so.

  This place is hard but doable.

  Mostly no cars go to Montenegro here, but truck drivers go directly to Podgorica. I had to beg on my mom to get one truck driver take me at least to the border. He had to drop me before, because he had only driver seat in his cabin and didn't want any problems at control.

  Overall, it has plenty of place for cars to stop, but barely anyone go to Monyebegro

  Probably got lucky on this one.

  Short waiting time, I've only seen a few trucks and one car going this way. While driving, almost no traffic passed us before we reached Kamloops. 

  Dave, a truck driver, stopped and brought me all the way to Vancouver, despite not necessarily being allowed. He offered me lunch and when he stopped at night, he offered me to sleep in his truck. In the morning, he waited for me and dropped me close to a train stop so I could keep going downtown

  Well… this is not a “jackpot” spot. It was a rainy Friday afternoon, traffic was agonizingly low. People are nice here, but it took me a while to find a ride to the promised land of Belgrade. At some point I tried hitching right on the highway, which the gas station security guard politely told me not to do. Finally, as I was beginning to scout out locations for a ditch to sleep in, I was picked up at the gas station by a very friendly guy going to Belgrade. Nice! This is indeed probably better than hitching directly from the border, and perhaps I was unlucky to wait so long. Just be patient I guess!

  It was the first time when we waited more than 10 minutes in Sumatra. Probably the spot wasn't good enough, cars were passing by too fast to break, so we had to change a few spots until we finally made it. To get to this junction from Padang Pajang you can simply take the small local minibus for 5000 rupiah (the one with an open door). We got a direct ride to Alahan Panjang (Danau Diatas), and the driver invited us to stay at his place.

  Big petrol station, Thumbed with a sign Berlin, got a ride to Poznan. Poznan is a bit of a dead spot though, so you might want to considering taking a lift that takes you further

  Found a trucker to take me east onto the A8 within 15 minutes.
  The ride itself wasn't great as he took a 45 min detour to get some fuel and then got stuck in a traffic jam for 2 hours, but in the end we got to Sindelfinger Wald.

  As the gas station clerk got out to talk to me, I got a ride to pass the bridge.

  Nice man working in polish concrete, he accepted to drop me South on I-75 for me to be in the good direction for the rest of my trip.

  Had a sign to Krakow but many cars are going either to Warsaw or Wroclaw it seemed. There is more traffic than expected, but it's probably better to get dropped at the BP station a couple of km before. Had to ask every single driver and one nice guy even drove a longer route to his destination just to drop me off to a better gas station!

  So this is the spot №1 from the "how to get out of Milan" guide. At least that's how I got here. The instructions were mostly clear and intuitive, though some things have already changed since the article was written. As such, for some reason the metro train wasn't going all the way to Cologno Nord station. Rather it stops at Cascina Gobba and from there you have to take a bus to the desired metro station. The ride was about 20 min long and I didn't even pay for it.
  When I got to Cologno Nord I followed the instructions and walked for about half a mile in the northeast direction until I saw the big electricity pole. To get to it, I had to jump over a 2 meter wide trench (it's more convinient if you cross it at the car gate to your right). Then I had to make a jump over a yet another trench, this time just below the electricity pole. Though I found the doors to be closed with padlocks so I had to jump over the fence from where you can just casually walk downhill to the gas station.

  Advice: watch out for the stingy bushes, wouldn't recommend going this way if you're wearing just shorts and a t-shirt (you're likely to scratch yourself badly due to the dense vegetation that stands in your way).

  After I got to the station I got picked up pretty quickly. The driver gave me a lift all the way to Bergamo from where I went with another car to my destined city of Brescia.

  Good spot for going West on A89. I got picked up by some guys going to Roanne but I chose to get out at the toll booth (Péage de Saint-Romain-de-Popey - A89) because I was going to Clermont-Ferrant. I chose this because I thought more cars were heading towards CF than other places on the way to Roanne. Worked well. :)

  Generally ok spot. Enough space to pull over. Busy but not hectic traffic. Shade to hide in. But it looks this part of the Philippines is hard to hitchhike. Some people coming and asking me what I do. Offering to help get a bus or even trying to give me money. After 45 minutes I got a short ride.

  This was a really bad place, and I would advise you to avoid it, if possible. After more than an hour and a half, I walked to a gas station, showed as a destination, and there I found a guy willing to take me to the exit towards Constanta. If you are stranded around here, I would advise walking rather than just waiting here. The traffic was low, and the heat was unbearable.

  Yes how ukrainian i know, so i can say you that on this punkt of crossing, you cant do it on your foot, because its place only for cars and buses, autobuses, only place on Pl-UA border, where you can get to Ukrainian, (or polish) side by foot, it is near to the polish city Prsemsyl, Medyka-Shegyinni, its only place where you can do it by foot, on others, the policmens just will dont let you go , and will stop you, of course you can try to ask this cars who are waiting in the line, to cross a border, but it can takes a lot of time, like for 2-5 hours, or even more, but who knows

  You can go to Deyrulzafaran monastery after Dara, just choose which road to take as the first is shorter but no shop, while the northern one crosses Eskikale village. MardinKart app says bus B7 goes to the monastery but drivers disagree.

  A good spot. Enough place to stop. The only spot with some shade. Little traffic.  Cars going slowly (a sharp curve after a bridge). The bad thing about that sopt is that, since it's the only shade place, it seems to be a popular spot for catching buses. I waited 50 minutes for a ride.  That includes 20 minutes when I stepped down and waited for people to catch a bus. Eventually I go a ride to La Trinidad (a place 5 km from Baguio).

  Waited around 30-45 minutes with a sign which read 'Italy'. Created a lot of laughs, and eventually picked up a ride offering to take me to a raststätte along my preferred highway.  

  Stood at the beginning of the onramp. There is also a traffic light onto it, which increases the amount of time people can see you. Also enough space for a car to stop.

  I guess it is a bit tricky here. In theory there is enough traffic and also quite a lot of space for even big cars to stop. However, they have to stop on the bike lane, which is not ideal. The gas station were completely dead on Saturday morning, so we hitchhiked by the traffic lights and eventually got ride behind Dresden.

  The gas station in fernpass is the best spot for getting out of tirol to A7 in germany. you cna both hitch here with a thumb or ask people directly on the station. It is a good spot and i would recommend to stay here until you find a lift all the way to A7 (if thats where youre heading). THere is also a gas station in Reute but here it is better.

  Carroll has a lot of people, and a delivery driver offered a ride that I said I'd take but he drove off. Got a ride after 30 right before sunset from a fellow hitchhiker, and he said it's code. Cop pulled into the parking lot right before. Many people were headed home from work or had kids in the car, definitely could be a better spot down the road for a longer duration of visibility as the cars come up.

  As said in the previous review, astonishing waiting time for the famous PCH and such great conditions to hitch there.

  As I was waiting, locals told me they would give a ride the next day to Big Sur if I was still there. 
  Fortunately, Josiah stopped and picked me up, even if his wife "would kill him" for that. Instant bond, we had a great time, between talking photography, travels and edible plants.

  Spent the night at Sand Dollar where Josiah picked me up again the next morning to keep going North and making scenic stops along the way.

  Sign said 'PCH'.

  *The employees don't like hitchhikers here. So don't stand right in front the store as a tip.* Nevertheless, we asked about 50+ cars in 50 minutes maybe even more. Many people just barely going over the border (like Kleve or 's-Heerenberg, Netherlands) or the cars are already full with people. Right as we got told by the employees to stop asking people for a ride. We just got one 2 minutes before al the way to the center of Köln. 140km/90 minute ride. Another group of friends got at this shell at the same time as us and they got a ride all the way to Dusseldorf Airport in 3 minutes of being there. Unfortunately they didn't have room for 4 people, only 3. So that is why we had to wait for 50 additional minutes (we got to Köln earlier though). Many Hitchhikers come here do, just took us a lot of time to get a good ride. It's about luck here!!

  This is obviously very bad spot - cars are "flying" on a highway, and those ones which are getting out of petrol station, just focusing on speeding up and join the traffic. However, even here is possible to hitchhike. Draw a big sign and be very patient and eventually you can get a ride very far. After two hours of waiting I got a direct ride to Katowice (~670km)

  It’s a good spot for going to either Toulouse or Pau/Bayonne. I got a ride to Pau with not a lot of waiting. Stand on the side you want to go otherwise you will miss cars. And stand at the peage/toll, a lot of chance there!

  Excellent spot car en sortie de péage, il est très facile de croiser des gens qui vont en direction de Clermont ou Vichy. Malgré une dizaine de voitures qui se sont arrêtées en une heure, personne n'allait dans ma direction (Ambert). C'est finalement un couple qui m'aura avancé jusqu'à la ville voisine.

  The 3rd car that came across took me right until Arles ! Very nice spot if you want to go back to the direction of Arles. You will have to reach the spot by taking the Via Rhona (bike and walking way along the river) from Aigues Mortes until you reach the industrial zone. Continue on the via rhona after the parking of the SUPER U and turn on the first path you see on your left. There's plenty of space for the cars to stop. Perfect for a saturday afternoon !

  Great spot with a red light, cars are slow and see you for the time of waiting. Better accept a ride to Karakol and continue from there, most people don't go further up.

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

A few more Dutch/Belgian cars showed up but they were all full

  It's hard to say how good this place is. We were heading towards Sofia/Istanbul -> the driver heading to Pirot left us there saying it was a good place. Generally, cars don't drive very fast there – they see you and your sign, but there's no gas station or anything like that. After about half an hour, we managed to catch a truck heading to Sofia. There are often queues of trucks at the border, so there's a chance you'll cross the border and ask drivers one by one if they can take you to Istanbul. We finally made it to Sofia that day, but I think there's a chance you'll catch a driver going further.

  Unfortunate and bad at the same time. We walked ( 2 guys) from Mestre/Venice to get a ride to Udine/Palmanova. When we arrived 1 cars was freshly robbed! Police came told us that we cant stop cars. For about 2 hours we waited till the police left. Then we tried to asked drivers on the petrol station but the staff told us that we can do it only next to the entrance ir near to the shop next to the petrol station. So we devided one took a sign and went to the exit to take cars from petrol station and one tried to ask people that went to the shop. so after 3,5 hours we got a ride to better place, however from that place most of the cars to Venice and not to Palmanova/Udine. If you can, avoid this petrol station. It had bit sketchy vibe + most of the poeple werent very nice/ lot of city locals. Altought it wasnt very good place to stop, there are plenty of truck drivers, if you going alone, try your luck!

  This place is infamous for getting stranded as there are no villages beyond here, just alpine desert. Que: no trucks or local cars except short distance farmers. There are tourist cars, but they're often full or not too Hitchhiker friendly, and there arn't loads of them. it's not impossible, but don't expect it to be easy, be prepared to wait a couple of days, don't miss opportunities to hitch, and be open to hitching back to khorog or willing to pay someone with a car at the hostel.

To get there you have to go like a 100m back towards the city from the Sportsweg tram stop and then get thru the tram tracks closer to the road, the pole with stickers is your spot!

  After 1h of waiting police told me to get away from this spot. They didn't care that all roads around are big intersections and there is no place to walk at all, so this spot is safer than any other around. They care about highway not safety, so they wouldn't let me stand on the highway entrance.

  Great spot to get on the highway either north or south. We walked here from Lermoos train station which is close by. There is a good patch of grass near the gas station to stand on, and cars aren’t going very fast through the village. We waited 5 minutes and got a ride all the way to our campground in Imst. If you have bad luck there are buses that go south to Imst as well.

There’s shade and tables outside plus free toilets so overall good spot, but the food etc is really expensive there. We asked around and then stood at the exist without a sign. The traffic was pretty solid even between 4-5pm which is pretty good i guess?

In the end, I took the first ride that was offered just to get to a new spot. The driver who picked me up told me that they probably thought I was Albanian and that they don't like Albanians in this area.

  We were stood with a sign for “A8 Nice” which was a dodgy move given the circumstances. Everybody was stopped for lunch, and we absolutely needed somebody who was passing Aix-En-Provence because there’s nowhere to stop before there and you don’t want to be caught in the city, the majority of the trafic is headed on the A7 to Marseille so for there you’d have no troubles at all! Eventually we were approached by this lovely hippy family who gave us a ride up the motorway to another service station on the A8.

  Walk to the front of the ferry with a big smile on your face, making eye contact with drivers. Politely ask the ferry dudes if you can get off first so you can hitchike, and then with their approval, dash off up the ramp the second they let you, to somewere with a little space, and thumbs away! ignore the crowd of startled normies who will inevitably have their phones out to video the strange hitchiker.

  After late lunch, decided spontaneously to hitchhike to reach the Strawberry Hot Springs as they've been highly recommended to me multiple times.

  It was already dark and was walking with a  sign and my headlamp on. 

  An old woman saw me from her barn and drove top me, scared I was about to backpack by night in the cold and potentially try to sleep outside. After telling her the situation, she ended giving me a short ride to increase my chances to get a car going all the way to the Hot Springs and offered me to stay at her place for the night.

  I ended up doing so and her and her husband took great care of me and she dropped me outside of town the next day to keep going on my trip.

  She even drove me to a nice shop to replace  my old holey shoes.

I covered my eyes with the cardboard and it was good enough, I started looking for a ride around 5am which may have been a little too late as many trucks already left around 4-4:30am but I was hitchhiking on Tuesday which menas a lot of truck drivers are in the area to unload or load their trucks and are returning West. After 2 hours of standing with a sign for Chemnitz/Dresden I finally got a ride with a Czech trucker who dropped me off not far from Chemnitz where I could find another ride.

  Headed to Berlin, and I was really lucky and found a Danish car going to Magdeburg almost immediately that dropped me off on the last gas station before Leipzig. 

  It is possible to walk to the station, about 35 minutes from Feucht Ost S-Bahn Station. 

  The station is quite good, it's big, lot of parking spaces and probably easy to find some cars fairly far north, west and east if you're patient.

  Not a bad spot to wait, close to town and also room for cars to pull over they don't have much time to see you though after they make the turn in front of you. Make sure you have a big sign. July 2025.

  Decent spot, lots of traffic but unfortunately not that many people friendly enough to be happy to hear you out. Ended up standing by the exit of the gas station and got picked up by a couple who took me all the way to Maribo. 
  Some people get lucky and get a ride to Rødby or even to Germany.
  A sign definitely helps a lot!

  Hitchhiking is Dominicana's capital Santo Domingo is possible, but makes little sense, since the public transportation is so cheap. It is definitelly the hardest place in DR to hitchhike. If you want to get out of the city, i'd reccomend you going to the last metro station Maria Sanchez and than walk a bit to the gas station on a highway. The vast majority of cars stopping there will go to Piedra Blanca, Santiago de Los Caballeros, Puerto Plata and so. The other directions heading to the east are a bit harder. I reccomend you going on the edge of the city with some minibus and than just standing on the side of the highway. Dominicans are very welcoming to stop you and take you with them, usually without asking for any money (in 95% cases)

  A lot of car going to North A3, but some are traveling south. It took me 2h to wait for direct ride to Freiburg, but then it was very fast ride and directly to the place I need. 
  The spot is good, with nice view and not so expensive (relative to other petrol stations). Many foreign car, mostly NL, but some B as well. People are friendly and it is worth to try to speak directly to them. During 2 hours of waiting 4 drivers offer me a ride to north, but I politely declined as there is no better spot further north to hhike south. You just need to be patient here

  A first car stopped and someone offered me $100 to go buy a phone for his girl. Seemed fishy and kindly rejected the offer. 

  A lady ends up stopping, after she passed me first on the highway.
  I was initially planning to reach Angelina State Park to spend the night, but she couldn't drive me that far, so she offered me instead to spend the night at her place and to drove me the day after to Lufkin. 
  It ends up being a ride all the way to Alto with a stop, at the Sam Rayburn Dam to show me the area. 
  She also stopped at the bank to withdraw money to support me in my trip and offered me my first cinnabon.

  The spot was very good. It can be accessed very easily through a passage behind the convenience store and you won't be walking where cars drive.
  The station has everything, toilets, wifi, electrical plugs for charging your devices, Food etc.
  I got picked up after one hour waiting time on a Monday. I started at 10am and got a lift at 11am.
  It took me a total of 4 rides to get to Nagoya station and the drivers were always very respectful and curious why I'm hitchhiking in japan.
  Tomorrow I'll continue hitchhiking to Osaka and after that to kumamoto, just to see how far I can go.
  On this trip I never had any worries about unsafe road conditions, people being rude, not having food or a toilet. Everything was available all the time and it was a very good experience.

If you want to go to Kaunas I'd expect the bus stop a bit further down the road (Cagas) to be better, as a lot of traffic (~75% on a Tue @ 3pm)  is going to Baldone instead of going to the highway.

  A bus stop, good visibility and enough space even for a lorry to stop. Not very busy road, a few cars per minut.
  I waited only 20-30 minutes. The fact that I was wearing a t-shirt with a big Polish emblem helped me loooads. A Polish guy who passed me already, turned to talk to me, only coz he saw I was Polish. Initially he was supposed to take me to Sodertalje (about 25 kms), but in the end he took me 140 kms and dropped at a petrol station by a highway.

Low to medium traffic, but it's 70km/h area, I'd advise against hitching further west as the bus stop is in a rather bad spot and before that the 50km/h area is on  the hill with curbs, so I'd walk over here where there is clear view, probably wont stop a lorry here, but loads of longer distance smaller cars, wait times of 5-15 minutes

  Good spot, good visibility, helpful people on the gas station, only one disadvantage is little traffic. Anyway I get a car in 3min and actually they were going to Sarajevo, I wanted to get only to Mokra Gora at that moment.

  Très facile de sortir de Palais à tout moment de la journée, par contre il y a de moins en moins de stoppeurs à cause de la nouvelle ligne de bus. Mais les stopeurs existerons toujours ! En dehors de Palais il peut être plus difficile la nuit, sinon en journée il y a toujours quelqu'un :) Les gens de Belle Île sont très sympa, ils ont souvent moyen de te déposer à ta destination exact.

  There is a gas station with lot of dogs so they get a lot in the way. Maybe it is better to stay in the We were hitchhiking in late afternoon when almost everyone were going to Sarande. But fortunatelly we got a ride to Gjirokaster

  Because of the speed bumps, cars have to go very slowly, and there is only one direction to go on the big street.

  Not best spot but it is after roundabout and there is some place for cars to stop. It is also next to McDonalds so you can try to ask people here.

  Got a ride from the first person I asked, a young Mexican on his way to work.

  He ended up inviting me for lunch. 

  We had a long conversation about how he encountered God through the Bible and became a predicator and how his life changed.

  FOi fácil. Peguei um ônibus de Maputo até Boane, me custou uns 25 meticais. Bem em conta. As pessoas estranharam bastante um Mlungo pegando carona ali, outras pessoas também estavam tentando. Mas fui um pouco mais longe já que as pessoas passavam relativamente lento.

  There was no one going towards Slovenia or Croatia. Everyone was local people, and on top of that the gas station was under reconstruction. Only the McDonald's was open, but even there it was just locals.

  Solid spot to reach the high way south or westwards. Quit some local traffic though. Waited 30 minutes until someone brought me q0 kilometers south to petrol station Gräfenhausen on the A5.

  Spot is in walking distance from frankfurt main train station (30 min).

  I went outside the city in the evening and camped in a forest near the spot. In the morning at 10 I went to the spot and it was so easy! I didn‘t even finish my sign and already someone stopped. Unfortunately they couldn’t take me the whole way to Prague so I thanked them and hold up my sign again. After the next 3 cars driving by I got a ride through Prague and met some really cool dudes from Dresden I had lunch with.

  Crossed the border from Kazakhstan to Kyrgyzstan in the middle of May. The guards were nice and chilling. We crossed at 2 or 3 pm and there was no traffic at all. Got the ride with the first passing car after 1,5h of walking. The landscapes are awesome.

  Pueblo is a city I'll do my best to avoid on future hitchhiking trips. Everyone seems guarded. A construction guy eventually stopped just off work, gave me some weed, and ferried me to the edge of town. There are nice people everywhere.

  Tried to move towards Italy. The spot is okay to go towards Gotthart. Many people move towards Bern though.aybe try to catch the Autogrill after the A1 and A2 split. During Holidays most cars are full of luggage. 
  Found a guy who took us towards Como eventually, which was great. I would say the spot is alright but not great.

  Option to the other point when there are jam and intense trafic. 
  Safer to my mind to walk along le vehicle line and get eye contacts.

  I mainly asked people tanking their cars and the ones at the e-car-charging-station!
  After 10 minutes i got a ride offered to Brno (which i didnt take in the end), after another 20 mins I got a direct lift to Budapest!

  Drivers can pick you up easily in front of the gas station. You can also ask drivers directly at the gas station if you prefer. You get there from Crikvenika by walking up the access road and then along the road for a few hundreds meters, the cars arent going too fast and there is enough space by the side so its not dangerous to get there. There's no shadow though so it can get very hot in summer.

  Towards Surin and Nakhon Ratchasima. There is plenty of space to break, some cars are passing slowly after the turn, and you will be well visible.
