  Spot is good with cars going slowly and a gas station nearby. Had a sign to split and stood here from 8 to 11. Nobody stopped and i ended up taking a ride to the next town. However this messed me up as i was unable to make my way to split. Prefer the highway.

  Despite being quite a big service station with a big parking it was hard finding people going to Nuremberg - lots of other friendly travellers though who seemed genuinely bummed to go a different way (even got some van coffee.) 
  I think I did pick a fairly good day and time with a Friday in summer between 18:30 and 19:30 but still. Bavaria just doesn't seem as hitchhiking-friendly to me (as a first-time hitcher.) Found two nice older ladies to take me eventually.

  Got a ride here today & yesterday. Yesterday, I was given a ride to a parking lot from this spot, but it wasn't significant enough of a distance to add. Today, I got a ride from a Cop here who drove me all the way to Carroll. Daytime for both, there's a really nice place for cars to pull in right next to Crumley. Someone also told me today that if I ever was hitchhiking bc I was stuck, I should go ask her for help & she showed me where her office was. Cop said ppl hitch sometimes to get across campus in the rain, and it was pretty overcast today. April 2025

  Was lost, because the trains were not going, and it was already 8 pm so I just walked there and stood at the traffic light, waving at cars which had to wait there, people locked the doors of their cars and where visibly uncomfortable, so I gave up after just a few minutes, just standing there not knowing what to do
  Suddenly, a truck driver who was going home from work waved at me, I was fully packed with things so it was quite obvious that I need to go somewhere, and I got a ride, that was pretty lucky

  Tio estis unu el la plej konfuzaj petveturaj spertoj de mia vivo. Sciante, ke la limtransirejo daŭras multajn horojn, ke mi havis nenie por dormi, ke ĉi tiu regiono estas terura por tendumado aŭ dormado, kaj ke ankoraŭ estis multe da trafiko transportante aŭtojn al Rusio, kaj ankaŭ konsiderante mian mision atingi Japanion en malpli ol monato, mi decidis persisti. Mi pasigis pli ol 3 horojn provante dum la nokto. Mi amikiĝis kun la homoj ĉe la butiko rekte antaŭ ĉi tiu enirejo, kaj ili donis al mi fruktojn kaj trinkaĵojn, kaj ankaŭ atestilon deklarantan, ke mi trapasis tie kaj renkontis ilin, kiun mi gardas kun mi. Tiam malgranda kamiono haltis, dirante, ke ili nur iras al la sekva urbo. Mi demandis tamen, kaj alia aŭto haltis, Armeniulo dirante, ke ili prenos min al la limo. Ili diris, ke li loĝas proksime, sed vizitos iun en Rusio kaj povus preni min, sed li bezonas malŝarĝi kaj lasi iujn materialojn en la urbo. Li demandis la kamionistojn, ĉu ili scias, kie li povus lasi la aĵojn el interne de la aŭto, kaj la aliaj ŝoforoj diris jes, sed ke ili bezonas fari liveron en alia urbo kaj revenus post 16 minutoj. Do ni atendis ilin kaj portis ambaŭ aŭtojn al magazeno, kie ni stokis la aĵojn el la aŭto, interŝanĝis kontaktinformojn, kaj iris al la landlimo. Kun mia rompita rusa lingvo, mi komprenis, ke la ulo atendus min por plenumi la formalaĵojn de Kartvelio al Rusio kaj ke li daŭrigos min veturigi al Rusio ĉar li sciis, ke oni ne povas transiri piede. Tamen, ĉe la landlimo, la policanino ne ŝatis min kaj lasis min atendi duonhoron. Mi kredas, ke la ŝoforo de la aŭto rezignis; mi neniam plu vidis lin. Malgraŭ akra kaj konfuza mesaĝo de li per WhatsApp, kiun mi vidis monatojn poste.

  Loads of space to stop. Busy traffic, but not supern bus. Just before entr to the expressway. So you can catch people going trough it or the highway. After 25 minutes I got a lift to Tarlac.
  But 10 minutes before, one biker was trying to give me money for s bus. Not everyone understands the hitchhiking concept. But there is enough drivers to make it work.

  There is a big place to pull over in front of the snack shop and the traffic is slowed by a roundabout, seemed like a very good spot, but cars kept parking in the pullover and blocking it, then staring at me like I'm doing somthing insane. One guy came out and sat there watching me for half an hour :/

   I counted over 400 cars driving past. Eventually got picked up by an old greek dude who spoke nothing but greek and refused my attempts to use google translate. Admittedly I'm a lone male with a giant beard which probably didn't help things, but it still felt more hitchiker unfriendly than most places despite the perfect road conditions. But hey, did get out of there!

  Undoubtedly the best spot in Rieupeyroux for those headed east. It's easy to get to on foot, the traffic is thinned enough to avoid any cars that aren't going your direction, and there is adequate space for a car to pull in, with it being right on a side road access for a small shop.
  You could easily get a ride to Rodez, as we did, or if headed south, anything stopping at Baraqueville is perfect. As per usual with this rural area, don't accept anything that won't at LEAST stop at Baraqueville, as spots are scarce hereafter, the junction onto the N88 at Baraqueville is the perfect solution for Rodez, Albi, or Toulouse.

  Towards Pärnu, loads of traffic, very good visibility, quite a wide bus stop with a shelter for the rain. Wait times of 20-60 minutes expected, but due to the high likelyhood of getting a long distance ride it's worth the wait, also with cars turning from Varbola, you'll most likely pick one of the first of them (usually they head to Märjamaa, where you can continue further south)

  Got a ride by French-Moldavian couple very fast. First to Chamonix, but then they invited me to stay for a night at their place in Annemasse as it was already dark and my destination was Marseille. It was perfectly on my way and I couldn't resist the offer. What a hospitality!

  The bride is easy to access by foot if you stopped for the night in Golden. (there's a cheap hostel there)

  Got my ride from Monique as I just got on the bridge. Spotting the avalanche risks for the railway, she was able to tell me a lot about the mountains that surrounded us along the way. She taught me a little about reading the snow on mountains and we did a few pictures as well.

  Estis iom malfacile alveni tien, preterpasi la barilon kaj ĉion tian. Kiam mi alvenis al la stacidomo, estis policanoj ĉe la elirejo. Mi sukcesis alivesti min parolante kun alia aŭto, kiu haltis ĝuste ĉe la elirejo, sed ĉar mi sciis, ke ili havas problemojn kun petveturantoj, mi atendis, ke ili foriru por provi sur la vojo, kio daŭris horojn... tamen, dum ili estis tie, mi provis de la alia flanko de la stacidomo diskrete demandi homojn. Estis malfacile kiam du policaj aŭtoj alvenis kaj staris ĉe kontraŭaj flankoj; ŝajnis, ke ili nur atendis petveturantojn. Mi kredas, ke la antaŭa stacidomo estus pli bona laŭ la priskriboj. Sed ĝi funkciis; mi ricevis veturon al Germanio, kio multe helpis min, ĉar mi iris al la Eŭropa Ĉielarka Festivalo en Belgio.

  Artista paro veturigis min. Ili dormis en Svislando, en la montoj ĉe la domo de kelkaj amikoj, kaj ĉi tiuj amikoj ankaŭ akceptis min tie por dormi kaj ankaŭ dum la mateno, kiam ni faris artajn agadojn kune.

  Cars are quite fast here and mostly don't stop at the traffic light. But I eventually managed to get a car to the border.

  Bad spot, no one seems to take care of me, even if great shoulder. Might be because I was there too late in the afternoon.
  I ended up accepting a ride to Orlando to get there a Greyhound to Tampa, to not get stucked in Ocala for the night.

  Driver was an old Florida man who started the ride by telling me how Muslims were replacing people in the area. End up telling me about his past and his religious beliefs. 
  Despite divergent opinions, he was very nice and accepted to do a small detour to drop me at the bus station.

  This place seems to be a good spot, because there is a place to stop, so I stood here with a cardboard "DIRECCIÓN GRANADA." Although the distance was short, unfortunately it was not my lucky day. I waited a total of 4 hours (four times an hour each) and was unable to find a ride to my destination. If you hitchhike here, arm yourself with a lot of patience. I also recommend catching a hitchhike a little lower down, where cars are not going so fast yet. One driver stopped there before, but he only drove 17 km. In addition, a family stopped and wanted to take me for money. Maybe you guys will have more luck.

  To get here from Paris take RER Bussy-Saint-Georges and then walk All. des Bois de Bussy to get on the south side of the highway, then just jump the fence and walk couple hundred meters along the highway to the Aire.
  We were 2 guys waiting near the exit from the Aire with a sign for Reims and a guy eating lunch approached us saying he could take us to exit 21 for Dormans but when he realised there were not many people passing by this peage he offered he could take us to Reims or to Epernay train station. We chose the latter and got a sightseeing tour of the city and region, then took a train to Reims.

  There is place for cars to stop at the end of the restplace, and place to sleep in the wood west of the station.

  Altough I waited a bit more than I expected, I still consider it as a perfect spot - drivers can easily see you from decent distance, there is enough space for them to stop and there is even "official hitchhiking spot" sticker. Even if you have bad luck and cannot get any ride, you can wait for bus to Ainazi as a last resort.

  Perfect spot for heading south (Pre Bypass). The cars are going slow for the last roundabout out of Coffs and there’s heaps of space near the Cunningham banana place for them to pull over.

  Ok so I guess I was lucky to have a couple of kind italians taking me to Ventimiglia in like 10mn of waiting. BUT I think, if it wasn't them, I could wait a lot. There's almost no room to stop, it's just after the border so there are some cops & carabinieri and it puts a negative atmosephere for hitchhiking which reflects on people attitude. Also a lot of fancy cars and tourism which won't likely be the kind of person taking you for a ride (it's valid for the whole coast of Liguria IMO). Grazie Marco e Sofia :)

  Before we write a sign to Kassel, one old man stopped us, but it was more luck then advantage of the spot. And he took us only to some weirdly big gas station out of the city, where we stucked for cca 3 hours. But maybe, i think it is good spot, traffic is strong there to A70 and A7. But big problem is Schweinfurt at all, because locals do not stop, it is a deaf place. Hitchhikers in Wurzburg told us the same. So it is better to run away from Schweinfurt.

  im sure you can be lucky and find the right lift, but the redlight on this side is too quick, i didnt have a sign, and asking i could only do 2/3 cars before it was getting green again
  on the other side its longer, but you want to ask the cars on the left side, and you often have cars coming from the other side
  for me it was a mess
  after a hour i took a tram and a train to Castelbisbal, walked 15min and got into a car in 30seconds
  if you want to go west consider taking a 2.65€ to there

The 7eleven was on road 291 and the speed limit was around 50km/hour or 70km/hour but people drove slow enough to read and react to the sign. It was on a Sunday maybe it won't matter to you but I have a better track of getting rides on a Sunday.

  That was a weird spot. I've been hitchhiking two weeks in this country and it's been quite good. People understand the concept. Only once a guy stopped and asked me if I needed money.
  But this spot was different. Not only because I had the longest wait. But also coz strange behaviour of people. Firs 3 cars stopped even though they were going 2-3 kms only. Two of them were handing me money (literally 🤑). They were very surprised that I didn't take them. And then one women stopped and was trying to stop a bus for me. It took me some time to explain her that I'm hitchhiking. It turn out she was going my way. When I asked her if I could go with her, she was shocked and said "No". And then left.
  All my many experiences in this country were so different than this spot.
  The spot is very good. No very busy. Loads of space to stop (I was picked eventually by a big lorry). And very importantly, in a shade of trees. 
  My experience is that the better spot the longer wait. Really 😂
  After one hour a lorry took me almost all the way where I needed.

  NOT as good of a spot as the reviews suggest. Last time we (2 girls) tried caching a ride to Poland from the other side - we waited for 5 or 6 hours - this time with the opposite direction it was way easier but still not ideal. The gas station is a ghost town, almost no one stops there. Got a ride to the south of Leipzig but had to ask many, many times.

  Towards Narva, it is decent spot, but a lot of traffic goes to Jõhvi, also Kohtla-Järve and Jõhvi has frequent busses, so people don't really understand what you are doing, in all honesty, just get a bus to Jõhvi and go from there if headed to east, here you'd be for 60 minutes for sure for a place with relatively good traffic

  Lots of traffic, but no one stopped.

  Got to talk with a truck driver, but he eventually didn't want to take the risk of getting a passenger.

  An old man stopped just to advise me to walk along the highway and panhandle at the same time, that's how they used to do at his time.

  A few minutes after, a car pulled over. He already passed me and came back to pick me up. First, he offered to drive me all the way to Bowie, before offering me to go the furthest I wanted, as long as he was back in time for Kids' church at 6.

  Gentle man, he offered to stop at his place to offer me a meal, a shower, and kept asking if I had all the necessary equipments.

  Got me a drink and a snack when we arrive in Iowa Park and offered me a religious book about Jesus' life.

  I was standing on a different corner of this intersection until someone rolled down their window and suggested this spot because the truckers segue straight to the TCH. I did just that and after 1-2 hours a trucker slowed. It's a good spot because the traffic light has a short cycle so the queue gets backed up and cars can see you while waiting for the green light

  This spot was cursed. We were going to Nantes and we (2 groups of 2 people on 2 slightly different spots, one group at the exit of the roundabout to Nantes and the other at the junction to Nantes judt before) waited 3h until someone stopped and took us 4 somewhere between Vannes and Nante. So since each waited 3 hour on their own, we could consider that we waited 6h.

Try at least to get to Wittlich, then Mayen and if you're lucky you'll make it to Koblenz.

  The spot is good but there are lots of people going to Nicea. It's really the best spot to get a ride to Italy or to the east because there aren't really any other spots that are closer to the border.
  Do not settle for a ride to Nicea or Monaco if you want to get to Italy because there arent any more stations on the highway later on until Italy.
  We didn't see much succes on the gas station itself but we got a ride to Milan with a trucker from the parking. There are lots of trucks going far.
  The service is very nice and you can power your phones and other devices in many places in the station. There is also a lot of space with tables and chairs on the outside to cook and eat.
  If u dont manage to get a ride until the sunset, there is a good place to sleep behind the station by the revolving door in the bushes. It's hidden from the bigger road but seen from the smaller road on which there are almost no cars. To get there you have to get around an old fence. No need for a tent because there are almost no mosquitos. The station closes at 2 am and opens at 3am so when we asked they told us we can sleep on the couch or somewhere in the inside of a station but u would have to leave at 2am and wait an hour and u can come back at 3am.

  Got into Sid's to get lunch before heading on the ramp. Nice cozy sandwich restaurant.

  The couple owning the restaurant there have been marvelous. They offered me my lunch, a brownie for a snack and gave me a ride South to Buc-ee's to improve my chances to get a ride.

  Marvelous and the kindest kind of people I met in this country, I can only recommend to hitchhikers to stop around and pay them a visit!

  The guy at the tank station asked us not to stand at the front which is not ideal. Also not a lot of cars because the tank station is in the Netherlands and the gas prices are higher. And people where very blunt and rude here. Would not recommend

  Lost world highway. Slow middle of knowhere road, but fairly pretty. Basically no cars, and when the one car per half an hour laughs at you and zooms past for no reason it kinda blows. Eventually got picked up and rode direct to Stratford. Don't pick this road if you need to get to taranaki fast. IT IS NOT A SHORTCUT.

  April 2022. After a whole year travelling across Turkey and learning how to become a nomad while waiting for Iranian border to re-open as well as escaping pandemic, after a whole winter in Georgia. Finally i came again to Doğubeyazıt and got a relaxing ride by a truck. I was so excited and speechless that i even fell asleep on the way to Gürbülak. You have to leave the car and walk through the border, that's quicker. I found the same truck on the other side and they hosted me in Marand.

  A very good spot. An exit from lorry stop (some custom place) good visibility and enough space even for a lorry to stop. Not very busy road, a few cars per minut.
  I didn't wait at all. I just stopped and I was about to take the sign out from my backpack, whe first lorry leaving the custom car park stopped and took me all the way to Stockholm. The fact that I was wearing a t-shirt with a big Polish emblem helped me loooads. The truck driver was Polish. I'm not sure how long I'd have to wait if I didn't have the t-shirt.

  A man took me here from Castelo Branco, he was very kind but this is not a very logical waiting spot towards Lisbon.
  Foggy day, 2 hours of daylight left, i waited on this narrow provincial road to Gavião/Abrantes with curious cows staring at me, then realized the nearby bigger road goes also to Abrantes, tried to walk but darkness and cars driving fast made it unsafe. So after a total of 3 hours, i came back to this spot and walked in the dark, intermittent torch on my hand. The third car stopped and took me to Abrantes train station (7:30pm last one).

  Easy spot to get a ride, but a bit cold at night. Mostly locals who belong to rural areas usually drive it, and they're very friendly.
  It took me 30 min to get into a car because it was already dark at 20:30 and not many cars were around (to not say there was nobody around) but the first car passing by picked me up and took me to the next destination.

  It's your best shot to get out of the village. Made a sign to Girona and in the morning there's a lot of traffic. Unfortunately there's 2 lanes and if you go to Barcelona maybe os faster, the Girona lane is the left one. Not the best, but is possible.

  Do you want to go to Finland and have experience of the lifetime? If yes, this is a place for you. Stand by the gate to the pier, there is only one and every boat owner need to come through it. Now just ask if somebody is going to Finland and maybe you will be lucky as I was. 
  Few tips: 
  Good weather helps
  On Friday and weekend plenty of people are going to Finland and back 
  Summer is prime time
  Looking clean is useful 
  Absolutely majority of boat owners don't wake up before 10 am.

  Important to specify north or south cause trafic goes both ways. To get here, ride the bus C2 to the stop Buld’air, then it’s only a short walk. An added bonus is that the bus stop is at an ikea, meaning cardboard for signs is incredibly easy to source!

  We got two cars. One wanted to get paid, the other one was really kind and gave us options, where it could be better. In the end He took us to Muijala bus station. This (the bus stop in Muijala) is not a bad spot, but the traffic is low in the evening so after going Down the highway, we gave up and went to the bus station Back. From here it goes at least every Hour like 16.30,17.30,.. For like 19 e/person. Maybe it is more frequented in the morning.
  Maybe i suggest staying here a little longer and wait for the one who goes to Turku directly. Don't Give up, it is like 1 out of 50 cars will stop.

  Saturday around noon. Easy to reach by underground. If you prefer to ask people you can do that at gas station. But it seem mostly Stockholmers stop there. I thumbed at  on ramp with a sign simply saying SOUTH for about 30min. Good visibility, high traffic, low speed, quite little space to pull over (but who wants to take you can always manage). I took a ride with very nice fellow hitchhiker to Norrköping. Which I do not recomend if Norrköping is not your destination- not a good town to transfer I think.

  Good spot to hitchhike at a Busstop (Kvåle). Got a Ride to Bergen super quick. The downside is that the spot is not super accessible. A friend drove me to the Busstop from Voss and then I started hitching from there. I guess it is an Option to walk from Voss via Peter Bondes Veg and then following the little paved road right next to E16 (probs 30-40 min walk). There is another Busstop closer to Voss (Seim) that is less far to walk but I have not tried hitching a ride from there.

  If you're going north towards Split, this is a good spot. Safe and lots of traffic. Got a short ride from here in 30 minutes to another good spot along D8.

  It’s probably a great place if you're being left there by a car, at the gas station.
  If you’re trying to get to it from outside, it is  NOT a safe place. Drivers are pretty much crazy here and the visibility is limited. The places mentioned before were repaired, probably, cause we decided that it’s too dangerous to try climbing that little wall on the left.

  First tried to hitchhike north from here at 1pm, and failed utterly - gave up after three or four hours in the freezing wind, trying various spots in the immediate area. Came back next morning at about 11am and got a ride all the way to Puerto San Julian where I had a couchsurfer waiting for me. I recommending standing west of the highway interchange, as cars are emerging from it. Under the bridge some of the cars will be going slower, but the ones coming from town are in the wrong lane and the ones coming from the bypass are distracted by having to merge onto the highway. Whether you're going north or west, consider accepting a ride to the "Güer Aike" (pronounced "Where I K" police checkpoint about 25km west of here, which is before the split and the police are reportedly helpful.

  Solo Caucasian Woman. Took the train from Kurashiki to shinkurashiki and walked 4km to this highway service area. It took about 1h to walk and I had to jump a small fence because the road takes you to behind the shops at the road side not the front.

  Ride took me all the way to hiroshima which was my final destination.

  In the end, a guy stopped his car at the spot I marked and said my current spot was horrible. He drove me all the way to the ferry. Not many people are going there.

  Would recommend to get dropped off in center and hitch on DN3B.

  however, make sure the driver can actually drop you off at the next gas station (seixal) and isn't just going to a small city after the bridge, because it will be hard to find a ride there(happened to me)

From here it seemed like basically no cars going that way. But you can sit in local cafe, talk to locals (this village is not touristy, has very authentic vibes) and try to hitchhike from your chair, maybe you'll be lucky. If not, there is a minibus to Tinghir for 50 DH stopping right on the spot.

  Tried on the ramp when it was getting dark, no success, at the gas station up north, no success, tried in the morning at both spots at the same time (we were two) and finally got picked up at the gas station, guy was nice, but it was really a pitty ride. Used thumb or sign, depends

  This spot is perfect if you go north despite I spent around 3 hours there (because of Sunday evening). There is a small gas station, and electrical charges there, a place for camping too. I was hitch hiking right after the roundabout during the darkness ang got a ride. The car was going to Ski, I got off in Sarpsborg.

  This Spot is optimal for long distance rides because of the connection to the A9 and other big Autobahnen. You have a nice spot almost on the road, but big enough to not be dangerous and so cars can easily stop. We waited less than 20 minutes for a ride to Berlin for two people.

  Tried for 12min on a saturday evening, 1930 in August. For direction south the waiting time is probably 2min. I was trying to go north. The frequency was 24 cars in 10minutes. I thought this spot would make more sense, since more parking lots feed into it than the one slightly more north on Tårnvegen at the onramp. I was there too and the frequency was noticeably less. 
  It would be interesting if someone tried to get a ride north from here. A friend says from Espa (50km further north) you get rides to Trondheim. Maybe already also from here. 
  The spot is decent, since cars just took a turn, they go slow and stopping is possible at the little path just behind the spot. Not good that you cannot talk to people. 
  I wish I had tried more - i quit and took a ride to Skedsmokorset to try going north from there. Should have considered the Jessheim McDonalds maybe, that is closer.

  This spot is so so, mostly local traffic, so sign doesn't really work. It's public place so people gonna stare at you, but mostly they're friendly and give you pieces of advice.

  Better go to the side of M5 road, not here. On M5 there are the most of Serbian traffic.

  All the other spots further on this road are also not working anymore in 2025 or just shit, so better avoid this part.

  I ended up picked up by a local here and after driving few miles further he started asking for 10 euros and it appeared that I by accident hitchhiked a Taxi. We screamed at each other and he threatened to call police. I told him that I had literally 0 money on me and nowhere to get then, after some time he told me to get out.

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

  This small island is super hitchhikeable. This was my go to spot to get to the other side of the island. Hitchhiking anywhere on the big road that goes around the island is also definitely gonna work, you just gotta wait for people to pass (small island but quite touristic, so it’s all about luck). My hitchhiking experience on this island was extremely good!

  La plej bona punkto estas iom supren laŭ la deklivirejo. Nun estas flava oficiala stampo por petveturantaj lokoj. Sed vi devas esti tre kvietaj, la antaŭan nokton mi provis kaj la flava aŭto resendis min al la akselo de ĉi tiu kruciĝo, kio estas terura, tio estis nokto kaj mi laciĝis dum 3 horoj. Mi renkontis kelkajn amikojn, kiuj preterpasis post kiam ili donis al ni veturon tagojn antaŭe al Vikós. Mi rezignis kaj dormis en la forlasita konstruaĵo apud ĝi. Iom malpura. Sed komforta kontraŭ la malvarmo kaj la vento. Povas esti iom streĉa se vi estas sola, ĉar ŝajnas, ke iam homoj iras tien por feki aŭ drogi sin.

  Plej grave, memoru, neniam akceptu Mecovon se vi ne iras tien, minimume estas "grevená", mi petas.

  Yes you have to climb a fence but it was doable :D at the side of the hospital there was a bush that was hiding us well from the street, t helps if you are 2 people though so you can lift eachother over the fence. At the service area you can easily cross to the other side. We met a Japanese hitchhiking couple here that told us they climb over the gate regularly. We got a ride for all 4 of us after around 20 minutes of asking. Perfect spot to leave osaka:)

  Getting here from the ferry is a hassle. Most people are local or driving north, I got a ride to Rostock central after half an hour by asking people at the gas station. If you want to hitchhike by sign/thumb its also possible, but you're probably better off just asking here, as there isn't that much traffic, and pulling over can be stressful here imo.

  Tried it again with a friend recently and we were stuck there for 2 hours, as no one seemed to be going east. Lot of locals cars. Guess we were just out of luck that day. Ended up finding a ride to Metz after a little more than a 2h wait.

It looks it's very important go hitch at times with plenty of planes arriving.

  The bus stop is a nice spot to hitch-hike. We got a ride to Namsos on Sunday afternoon, the gas station was closed. If you are looking for cardboard, a grey container is behind a house on the other side of the road, it's closed but there's a hole to grab some.

  Great spot on the ramp going straight onto A7. There is a long line of visibility after a roundabout, a broad shoulder for cars to pullover, and decent traffic. I got a ride by a guy from morrocco in 10 minutes with a “Almeria” sign. 

  He drove me to a roundabout near Nijar, where i continued hitchhiking.

  It is probably the best spot to hitchhike over long distances. We got a lift to Bulgarian border after 80 minutes with a sign "Istanbul", if we waited longer and/or started earlier, it is probable that we get a lift all the way to Istanbul

  Good spot, it is possible to stand on the outer line on the highway, also gas station in reach. It is really sunny, no shadow at all - be aware of sunprotection. You dont have to be aware of cops and secriuty, they didn’t care at all. Also the lane on this side is mostly for truck drivers and less for small cars. We got a ride from a truck driver, who stopped on that lane and took us directly to Zadar. Some of the truck drivers, and ours too, are not taking the highway but the smaller roads - just be aware it takes more time and you will leave the highway then.

  As another review says, it is mining country - people don't really care about your adventure. Most cars here are going west. I tried going to the truck parking at 5.30 am but didn't get lucky. You might want to go see the drivers even earlier. You can camp and take a free shower at the service station. Finally got a lift to the next intersection by another backpacker camping here.

  Probably better to go a bit down the road to the other spot, but roadworks forced me to find a different place to hitch a ride. Pretty decent area. Lots of cars, but two directions so a sign would make it easier for people to gauge when to stop. You're visible from the entire roundabout, two Kiwis came from the other way and turned around to give me a lift. Good a place as any, definitely gets you hitched

  Hitching north out of DFW on US-75 is tough. This spot really isn't the greatest, but I got picked up surprisingly fast.

  The issue is that there really isn't a good spot for vehicles to pull off. And well also, there is no transit in the area so it's a long walk to get to this spot.

  The Costco near Parker rd. would probably be a better option. It's a substantialy shorter walk, and The truck entrance seems like it would offer a good place for vehicles to pull off.

  In theory both sides have good bus stops, and you should be able to get a car with decent traffic either towards Rõngu or Rannu, but I ended up staying here for 100+ minutes, before ending up walking to Rõngu, low speeds and good visibility, wide bus stops, yet noone stopped, at some point tried either direction wherever a car was coming from and nothing seemed to work, at darker times there's even good street lights, but that did not help, wait times of 100+ minutes to be expected, in general seems to be surprisingly hard road to hitch

A few cars were passing by, but maybe the third one stopped for us and it was a family going all the way to Jambi. We dropped off at Sarolangun. Once again make sure you have no intention to pay beforehand. Although we spoke a lot with the driver about what we do and how we travel, In the end, the driver asked me to pay 400k for 2 people which seems a lot for such a ride, and I managed to bargain until 200k.

  The town is long, we had to walk a ways to get out of it. 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.
  There are lots of cool hidden jems to explore around Semanu if you have time and budget. Our ride took us to Kalisuci cave where we went tubing: 200,000 IDR for foreigners, super cool experience, we were the only ones there. It's 30 minutes walk from town.

  Really good place. The service area is reachable by bus + walk (bus n°4+ bus n°17, look on Naver map for the itinerary). We (a couple) waited 10min and got a direct ride to Sokcho (even if we had a sign for Hongcheon).
  Thumb+sign.

  I tried all of the options around here if going south, bus stop mentioned early, this area of road that had extra wide area for cars to pull over as well as immediately after the roundabout, but nothing within 180+ minutes, little traffic, absolutely horrible to get a ride, there's truck parking nearby here but mostly used by those headed north, might get better luck, by the end i just ended up walking along the highway til a car finally stopped when i was around 2kms or so further down the road

  I tried walking to the toll gate first to stop cars right in front of it but the police politely told me to go here because cars are not allowed to stop at the toll gate... I waited here for two hours before I gave up, 100 taxis stopped, and only two other cars that weren't on the way to my direction but offered to drive me as private taxis for a huge amount of money. The problem is that there is a big crossing here, and you're standing right next to the lane that turns right, everybody on the way to the highway is already on the left lines. Generally i was quite unlucky both times i tried hitchhiking out of lanzhou from different spots

  If you travel from the Novi Sad Sever toll gate, there is a high chance that a lot of people from the area of Vrbas will stop for you. If you need to go further towards Subotica/Hungary, I wouldn't recommend catching rides just to Vrbas. The car speed at this spot is quite high, you can easily get stuck here.

  Bus stop - Not the best spot, because most of the cars would drive in the main highway, and cars from Samut Sakhon city center heading south would leave at another exit 6 km away.

  The first driver dropped me here, and I continued hitchhiking to Samut Songkhram (สมุทรสงคราม). 40 minutes later I got my second ride out of Bangkok, he took me for 20 km, but still in Samut Sakhon province.

  I personally was too optimistic and asked people if they were going more North of Hamburg (Like Kiel or Flensburg) but after a hour someone said he could drop me to a gas station North of Hamburg and I settled for it.

  I've thumbed in this spot before without any luck, but have had lots of success recently. Anywhere on Ave C, there are people who will pick you up, mostly people from other countries or chill UNT students. I got a ride from a UNT worker from India to Bruce Hall where he turned, and later that day I was here and my roommate happened to pick me up- I mention that here as it won't garner a second hitch review & and it was on the same day.  
  At the music building there is also a good spot right near the main entrance on Ave C where there’s lots of room for a car to pull up. You can also hitch almost on the road as mostly cars take the left lane rather than the loading lane.

  Only one car stopped and they took us to a complete nowhere village on the way to Zagreb, when we wanted to go down south through Jadranska Magistrala. It is probably a good place if you want to go to Zagreb, but if you prefer the old road, it is best to take a bus out of the center and hitch hike from there.

  Good place to catch a long distance ride with cars heading all the way to Madrid or Pamplona. There is quite a bit of truck traffic too. This area also has a very decent and cheap buffet (€8/person as of July 2023), so a lot of people driving from Barcelona stop here. This is a local spot and there aren’t many foreigners, so knowing Spanish or Catalan is important. The best strategy is to talk to people at the gas station but standing with a sign on a ramp leading to the highway works too.

  So, the Spot itself is okey. Our Problem was that we arrived close to sunset. Most Drivers where in Drucks with only one seat to offer. But we were two travelers. Still found somebody. Remember to download Romanian, Cause not everybody understand English. Got a ride on a minifridge in a Diesel truck to chisinau with a sign Saying "Moldova". Was an adventure. To my fellow females: I was traveling with a men. Idk if I can recommend this spot. It is in the middle of nowhere and the Druck Drivers who picked us up, was in my opinion not the safest men to be around by yourself. Be safe.

  It wasn't a successful day. Especially 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.

  Arrives at 22h20, got a ride about 15- later to the next station service (with a sign "station service" as recommended above). One guy stopped, but continued as there wasn't a comfortable place to stop, not much later someone else stopped and just parked close to the side until we could enter.

  Long walk (40 mins) from the town of Villa Unión. Little amount of shade near roundabout. No cars passing, we were very lucky that someone stopped. They original drove past us and then turned around 2 minutes after. Probably guilty about leaving us. Most locals apparently heading across to Chilecito early in the morning

  It's a perfect spot to hitchhike, cars are going slowly. The part of the highway was under construction, so it was low traffic there. Maybe without the construction, there is better traffic and then higher chance to catch a ride. We ended up moving to the another gas station without construction place.

  great alternative to hitching from the border. we were a while standing on the on slip directly, but eventually we moved onto the road a little bit and one of the first french cars to pass stopped for us. theres good visibility and cars are already slowing down about to turn. at mid day on a weekday there was a decent amount of traffic, a lot of people in mulhouse commute to switzerland for work so you could catch a lot of french drivers going home after work around 5 or 6 potentially.

  After I stayed 150min next to the toll station A4 I went to this (quiet big) roundabout to get northwards. At First I only had a sign with "Brennero A22" on it, but after some time where no one stopped I changed it to "Affi", because it was way more near than Brennero. While I was going to the Aldi buying food and asking around, two cars crashed right where I stood 30min before. As the police drove away an the street has been cleaned, I tried it there a second time. A Italian guy stopped and took me to Trento instead of Affi. This spot is the best for going northwards, but maybe not the safest.

  Spot is not great if you want to do a bit more long distance, most traffic is local. I was dropped of here by my previous ride and actually wanted to stick to the A20 towards Toulouse but was dropped of here.

  I politely told him I was, but he still wouldn't let me do. As I told him I had no other solution, he ended up telling me to walk on the service until the next Interstate exit.
  Told me it would be a 20-30 min walk, so I accepted when I ended up walking 1h30.

There is a little bus pullout right on the highway after the stop light. Many people are just starting to speed up, but not always going too fast, so you should get a ride if you look good.

  Seemingly a good spot with heavy traffic, but no luck for me on a Thursday morning. Got a car stopping within 5 minutes, only to get told off for trying to hitchhike. Almost an hour later someone stopped but went West towards Seattle, while I wanted to go East. Gave up at that point.

  I got stuck there on a cold and rainy night. A car going to Hamar stopped, but it was not on my way. After an hour came a police car, we had a nice chat and they recommended me to wait and get warm in McDonalds, which is 24/7 open. The police was worried about me staying next to a 80-90km/h lane, which is next to the roundabout. Technically this spot is good, but the combination of darkness (there are lights there) and a Norwegian rain was not perfect in their opinion. But McDonalds was a good choice.

  We waited here for four plus hours, starting at 4 pm. A lot of cars passed in the direction of Turku but no one stopped. We had a sign that said “Turku, suunta”
  The spot itself seemed like a good one. A local dropped us off there and claimed that all Helsinki going to Turku would pass there. I don’t think that was true, but either way it was a safe spot for cars to stop, they’d see us and have a very long stroke to drive on and brake. A lot of cars (and busses) would stop to drop ppl off/ pick ‘em up. 
  The good thing is there is a train station just below with a wide reach and trains until late. We took a train. There also is a shopping centre with supermarket close.

  If you stay in the car until nordkapp, as of 2024 they WILL charge you 17 NOK  (€1.50) per person in the car, on top of the car fee. If you need to avoid that, ask to get out at the nordkapp 500m sign (i have pinned this on the map too), and then walk off the road a few hundred metres to nordkapp (the terrain is fine/flat and you can see some cute reindeer). I made a beeline off trail for just east of the children of the world sculpture) and nobody cared or charged me. The visitors centre is nice, but the entry Tickets are insane.

  Going towards Seixal. Really not ideal as cars don't have a spot to stop in.

  Post kiam la lasta veturilo lasis min malsupren, kaj mi estis sufiĉe laca, mi provis pluajn du horojn kaj duonon, kaj komencis marŝi pli proksime al la limo kiam tagiĝis, ĉar mi jam ne bezonis la stratlanternojn kaj preferis iri al punkto kie aŭtoj pasis pli malrapide. Baldaŭ poste, aŭtotransportisto haltis, dirante al mi, ke li iras al Ukrainio, sufiĉe malproksime, sed kompreneble, li unue faros kelkajn modifojn al la aŭto, kiun li transportis, en alia urbo. Mi demandis, ĉu li povus veturigi min dum multaj kilometroj dum mi eltrovis la plej bonan lokon por eliri se mi irus al Volgogrado, kaj li diris, ke estas bone, ke ni povas iri.

  Ĝi estis vere aventuro; ĉi tiu ulo faris plurajn misiojn, prenis la aŭton por iu sekreta modifo, kiun eĉ li ne povis vidi, renkontis kaj parolis kun pluraj homoj en kelkaj urboj. Sendube okazas iu mistera afero kun aŭtoj inter Kartvelio, Rusio, kaj eble Ukrainio. Kiu scias?

  Great spot if you're hitchhiking from Cologne to the Netherlands. You can get here from Nievenheim train station and bus WE2. After that it's just a 15 minute walk to the station. 
  If you look on Google satellite, you will spot a small trail after the bridge over the highway. It is traversable but I wouldn't recommend it as it leads through hunting grounds that are private property. Better to take the long way around. Either way, the service station is accessible on foot through a whole in the fence or on the small road. 

  Waited for 5 minutes, then found a friendly man and his girlfriend who took me one service station further to Geismühle. There was low traffic on Saturday, but I got lucky and found somebody quickly.

  Saudi Arabia is so welcoming. Here is a gas station but you can hitchhike on the highway directly. Drivers stop anywhere unlike in Europe. Everyone are interested in travelers and will try to help you in any way possible, you won't wait long for someone to stop for you. 

  Also, here is Mosque where you can sleep. If there's no one, don't freak out just go there and sleep on the floor, it's ok and acceptable. When arab man asked me what I was doing there, I told him that I am a traveler from Poland and in need for place to sleep and everyone is ok with that, just be respectful.

  The main bus stop at the exit of Mojstrana, easy peasy!
  I met a French guy in my hostel, he had never hitched before, but we were going to Ljubljana on the same day, so we figured it could be fun if he tagged along! It was pouring down with rain, so we left our bags in the bus stop, and only darted out to stick our thumbs up when we saw headlights in the distance, before retreating back to the dry. 
  This worked wonders! Within 15 minutes we were in the car of Marco and his 90 year old mother, who loving gave us a lift to Jesenice, and offered us the first of a few umbrellas we’d be refusing that day.
  Marcos mother didn’t speak any English, and my Slovene was sadly not good enough to understand her, but my suspicions were confirmed when upon us leaving the car, she proudly announced “BONNE VOYAGE!”

  Cars go a bit fast, but the traffic shouldn't be local anymore.

  To get there, take metro to Koru, then one of the buses suggested by Google Maps, they can get you right to the spot. As of 2025 you have to have a special card for Ankara public transportation. The two tickets cost 50TL, the card 100TL, but you can use one for more than one person.

  Well, we wanted to go to france from trier so we decided to go to berchem by train and start our journey here since the reviews and everything looked great. And it is a great stop. BUT what surprised us - the bridge across the autobahn got demolished but is still shown on google maps. We discovered this when we got there (lol) and luckily they already built another one in sight, but we still had to walk about an hour more than planned. When we got to the station we had to cross/ get through 3 fences. That was not so hard since two of these were construction site fences, aka not permanent and relatively easy to get through. The next one was already torn down. But the last fence we had to climb over to finally get to the station. We picked the spot where the trucks are parking at the end of the station, i would say it is the best option to get to berchem. I dont know why they built these fences but you have to be physically fit to enter berchem from the outside. Getting there by car is no problem. Once we where there it was around 12:00, we found a lovely couple in around 30 minutes that took us to metz. We were two people and we had a sign. 

   Final conlusion: it is a great spot but you have to overcome some challenges to get there :)

  A guy and a girl without a sign on a Thursday evening. This spot is "play with fire" style : looks dangerous enough for cars to stop and help you, but is not so dangerous as there is an emergency lane for cars to stop. Not ideal in my opinion, but it got us a car to Landskrona.

  Good spot, but still had to wait an hour. Maybe that was because I had a sign "Göteborg" and not so many people go in that direction? I don't know. Anyway I was taken to a gas station along the highway a bit before Helsingborg, as I've read here to avoid rides to Malmö, but not so many people up there and I had to wait about 2h.

  Stopover point to the east of Novosibirsk. You can get there by train (eastbound, to Moshkovo or Bolotnoye). Local website for suburban trains "express prigorod", a ticket from the central station costs 126 rubles, $ 1.3. From Gagarinskaya 110 rubles, metro and suburban train stop. Then walk from the station in Moshkovo to the highway 2.5 km. The point is located right at the exit from the Gazprom gas station. There is also a traffic light on the highway in front of the gas station, so every 2 minutes the flow of cars and trucks stops completely and starts picking up speed again. The highway in this place is 2-lane. I left here 2 times in 10 and 15 minutes, respectively.
  The best point for entering and exiting Novosibirsk from this side (in my opinion). 30 kilometers from Novosibirsk the highway becomes 4-lane, near the northern bypass you can stand for an hour trying to catch a car to the center of Novosibirsk, and not a transit one.

  Is it really that a good spot ? Not sure 

  First it's hard to access. You're to cross a fast lane, not a highway but almost. Then walk between spiky bushes to end up on a 2m fence. You can go left around it, and then you are in the spot, in front of a 110km/h sign. 

  They dont have an actual seperate place to park, just one lane that is reducing qo they can slow down there.

  This is likely a good spot, during the working week, when the trucks are on the road, but during the weekend, it is mid. The traffic was relatively infrequent, and people told me they weren't going to Constanta; I'm not sure if I should believe them. I unpacked my lunch here and ate it in the shade, so it did not bother me that much. After that, a car picked me up, got me to Vama Veche, and helped me find a summer job, so that was nice.

  Despite being a great spot from a strategical perspective, people are reluctant to stop here.
  80% of the cars are locals who are not going onto the highway.

  I highly recommend using the BP gas station just 200m away instead for hitchhiking where people slow down and where you can ask people in person.

  This is a tricky spot for andorra.
  I’ve been here at the evening and slept here and at the morning got a hike almost to andorra.

  I’ve talked a few hours with the staff, this is my reconnoissance findings:

  Multiple cars a day are Andorrans going straight to andorra. Mainly in the morning 9-14.
  Spaniards also go here to Andorra.

  If you’ll be patient, you’ll find a hike to Andorra. It’s also easy to go to manresa, but if you go to andorra you shouldn’t waste this place.

  There’s woods right in front you can sleep there.

  The staff at the gas station are super useful. If you see Oscar tell him Yuval sends hello!

  There's a shoulder where cars stop here, but seems quite uncomfy for drivers and they need to make a decision within a second, to get out of Mielec I imagine there are better spots, everything here is quite a walkable distance, here i'd imagine wait times of 40-120 minutes

  Very good spot to get out of Oberhausen onto A3 in the direction of Arnhem. There's a traffic light you can stand next to with a sign. Mine was super improvised and it still worked in like 5 minutes. Not super far but to Hünxe which I knew to be a good spot to continue. Was pretty late, so I might have been lucky with Feierabend traffic

  This spot is next to the "Blafferstoppested". The parking spot at the "Blafferstoppested" is too short, so it's much better to stand a bit in front of it. 

  Cities in Jutland is difficult to get to, so it's better just to write "Jylland" and chat with the people stopping.

  Waited 2,5 hours on the 23rd of December.

  Towards Haapsalu, you can try to hitch cars turning from Kooli tee, Hansuküla tee etc when you are walking towards the Linnamäe bus station spot , as most locals around here are very friendly as well as they would anyways head to Haapsalu, uncomfortable for cars to stop but the town has speeds of 50km/h all through it and not that much traffic so cars could end up stopping anywhere, wait times of 5-30 minutes

  The road between the only two villages of fatu hiva is beutiful. The one problem is basically nobody drives it. Be here weirdly early (like an hour before sunrise like the locals do) to start your hitch after that the road is empty. If the one or two cars that drive past don't stop for you or demand $50 like the one did this afternoon, you'll be walking for hours before the next car. Usually the first car stops though and doesen't play taxi driver. Amazing people here

  Towards Riisipere (or Pärnu highway), either way almost noone would stop here, your best shot is to walk to Haiba, and try from there if you head to Riisipere and go to the highway for Pärnu, here almost all of the cars drive just ca 2 kms to Haiba, people from Haiba, Riisipere etc use usually Pärnu highway exits to go either direction (Pärnu/Tallinn) so no point in staying here.
