  Going south on a Sunday evening. Had to go down the road because the roundabout was packed with locals. 

  Staff at the station didn't speak English. There weren't many cars stopping (as it was Sunday probably), and those who were stopping were either going north or just down to the next village.
  Finally managed to get a ride until Mărășești, driver going all the way to Bucharest.

  walk to this point. you will fin a place between the two "blue" roads, cars can stop easily, see you from far away, more traffic than the other spot, and you can sit on a small wall in security. but take care, if police stops, you may have to go back to the other spot. sitting is the best way to show them that you won't move on the roads. don't try to go inside the tunnel, it's really dangerous. try to draw a big sign with a gas station logo ( like on highway signs ) and write "A 13  aire dir ROUEN "

  Not a great place for hitchhiking as vehicles are allowed to go at 70km/h legally (meaning they go faster than that). There is enough stopping space.
  After 35 minutes a friendly local commuter stopped and told me it's not the best place to hitchhike, and took me to a better one down the road.

  I hitchhiked a bit further at the border itself. It was Tuesday noon in August 2016. There was no queue there at all, in fact, the border was quite desolate. Nobody ever demanded any kind of permission from me nor did anyone try to get money out of me. Though I must admit this permission-for-border-areas thing does exist (in Russia and Belarus for sure) but unless you encounter police, nobody will check it. Just hitchhike to Mamonovo - it's not that difficult :).

  This may be useful if you're going to Lisbon at work days. Otherwise AVOID. I was unlucky to be lifted there while going to Madrid on Saturday. Absolutely pointless: gave up asking (after unsuccessfuly asking everyone at the spot), went to highway exit (nice point, much place to stop and slow traffic), find out that the traffic is extremely rare (one car/10-15 mins, lorries being very few of them). Luck sent me Portuguese guys with a direct ride to Madrid suburbs at the moment I was considering taking a bus (they say there is a stop nearby). Little bit less than 3h of waiting under the burning sun.

  as of march 2020 there's construction works going on at this particular spot and so you have to walk a bit further towards the ramp where there's not so much space to pull over.
  after having hitched from there twice (both late morning towards noon (10-11:30ish) my experience is that there are not so many cars going towards passau and so i waited both times for about at least 1h.

  I really liked this spot as there's space for the cars to stop and they also see you before when they're stopped waiting for the traffic lights. 
  I mean, I was on this street going towards Odense, but this area here seems good to hitchhike to all directions if you get droped off here.
  A friend of mine was hitchhiking here in a Saturday morning and he said everyone who was stopping was going to the next city before the bridge to Nyborg, but he was declining the rides affraid that there it could be harder to get a ride - so he spent more than 1 hour here until he accepts a ride to there (and from there I think he got a ride quickly actually). In my case I was here later in the evening, in the same day, and I was picked up in 10 minutes by an elder couple going to Munkebo, a city very close to Odense.

  Spot is tempting as the setup seems to be really good. But a lot of drivers misinterprete the dead end road to the ferry as a normal street and don't want to stop.
  Two attempts of hitchhiking out of there. First time no success, second time had a ride within 30 min. 
  Showing people at the traffic lights that the road is a dead end makes it way easier.

  Hitched here from ~5pm-9pm (it's well lit and sun didn't set till 8ish), pitched my tent in a nearby field, and proceeded to hitch here again for several more hours the next day. Police told me to go to the petrol station 1km down the highway, I did, absolutely NO cars there, so I came back. Police saw me again , was not happy at all, threatened to take me back to the station to pay a fine. Told him I'd been here since yesterday and he was silent for a while and then drove off. Walked to Horgos and got a bus to Subotitsa.

  I don't fully agree with the description - for me it was rather diificult to catch somebody heading south - probably it's a better place to go north - Gdańsk etc. And what is more important - it is forbiden to stay there - there is posibbility to be fined.

  You might expect a gas station on the highway to be a great place. I actuallly had to wait 21 hours to get a ride towards belgrade. ANd actually a quite short ride with a truck driver to the border queu that involved 3km walking. At least it's a great place to camp, but consider that it's closed at night and during the day toilet is with payment. There is also a free chemical toilet on the truck park.
  Chances might be higher if you go towards Osijek

I never waited this time in my life and i'm surprised because the borders they were only in some km and it's a highway with lot of traffic. My conclusion hitchhiking in Croatia is awful.

  I was heading to Novi Sad and waited here for about 2 hours on Monday, starting at 8 am. Most cars are only travelling locally, but a few are going further. There's a big station and a Mc Donald's, as well as two free Wi-Fi networks. Just be patient and you will find a ride. Three or four cars I asked were going towards Zagreb or even further, like Italy. If you filter out the local traffic, you shouldn't find yourself waiting for a long time.

  With a panel of Croatia in the exit of the gas station we waited quite a long time (2hours) we even used sometimes the highway side but it didn't work not because it's forbidden but we weren't lucky! I'm saying this because there is some drivers were entering from the exit side! yes! it's Serbia don't be surprised.

  While we were hitchhiking there was a couple hitchhiking in the entrance of the gas station with a big sign novi sad and they caught a car in only 10min (highway side) and after they left another guy came to hitchhike again to novi sad and he caught a car in only 10min as well in the same place. so if your destination in Novi sad I think staying in the entrance is better otherwise stay in the exit of Macdonals I think is good and ask people (I didn't try)

  A lot of traffic and this is the problem, most of traffic goes not on south direction. Got here (to Laagri) from train station with nice orange train) (1.15 EUR). Waited about 30 min, then walked to the road-crossing 2 km south. There got a ride in 10 min. (Time: about 1 p.m.)

  Also think that this is probably the best place for hitchhiking towards Serbia (although it was still a bit tricky - waiting time for me: 1.5h for a direct ride to Nis). Just after the traffic light and the entrance to the gas station there's enough space for cars to pull over.

  In summer, weekend, many cars goes to Split, ot Zadar. Especially from Italy. It is hard to get a car to Zagreb, but I think still the best place near Rijeka. Also the taxi drivers bring you here for 50-100 kuna, from the nearby villages, or use the bus 32 to get closer.

  I take this spot at least once a month to get to Bad Segeberg, it always works fast. I used to take the spot at the traffic light but this one gives you three times as much traffic.

  I was asking everybody if they could take me to Milano but nobody would go to Milano from here. Cars going in this direction are going to Bologna, Firenze, etc. If you want to go to Milano but you ended up here, then you should ask people to take you more ahead on the road until a place where you can cross the street and go direction Milano. I did go to a toll station (if you go direction Bologna) and I went to the other side of the toll. Got a ride there in less than 1 min after I found a good spot to thumb up

We had a great road trip around Skye and all the way to Loch Ness. :)

  However, our 2 friends hitchiked just a little bit further down the road and they waited for about an hour and got a short lift - only a quarter of the way to Inverness.

  Bottom level, under the bridge, not good at all. The spot in a curve, cars are coming fast and there is no spot at all for them to stop. Only crazy people will stop and that's not what you want. Always prefer the top level if possible, there are less cars but better conditions.

  Waited for 1h on the way to Spain. Don't follow the signs saying "Espagne par le tunnel de Bielsa" but follow the sign "Hèches", this route is more direct and with higher traffic. I didn't know it and kept on waiting in the first place. Plus, avoid having a board saying "Spain", not so many people go there directly, just hitchhike for a ride up, you'll find more cars to Spain in the higher villages.

  It's normal gas station on the way towards Helsingborg, Gothenburg, Stockholm. I got a lift there in the late afternoon, waited about 10 mins because of rain, then tried the first people going out from the gas station and asked them. I was lucky - they were from Luxembourg and going towards Stockholm. Spent with them 2 days and next day in the afternoon arrived in Stockholm. It's worth trying it, maybe better than to get into Helsingborg.

  We were here twice (couple): once on way north, once on way south. THERE IS FREE HOT SHOWER on the west-side station and nice field to camp on east-side station. Village is nice and you can go for a nice walk to see the sea.

  Getting a ride to Malmo is easy, going north is a bit harder though - we got to station about 40 km before Gotenborg.

  Good Spot to hitch to Austria (A93-South-Innsbruck or A8-East-Salzburg) or to A8-West-Munich. If you arrive at Rosenheim main train station you can simply walk around 2 km to this place since there is no good public transport in Rosenheim. Leave the train station at the back entrance heading to Klepperstraße, turn left until you reach McDonalds (last place for a free toilet before you start hiching), turn right, cross the bridge over the river Mangfall, cross the huge junction straight and walk past the parking lot of huge supermarket Real. After the traffic light next to the church there is space for cars to spot. Because there are 3 different directions to go it'll be better you show a sign.

  Hitching on mountain roads in NOT easy! I ended up walking to the junction of 731 and 35 just out of boredom... I did end up getting a ride, but I probably waited 3+ hours for it (including the walk, in which a few cars passed me by). The good thing is that once you get a ride, it's virtually guaranteed to take you at least until Hveravellir, since there's virtually nothing in between. Really NOTHING. 
  If you're gonna try to hitch Kjölur (the F35), be prepared for LONG waits and have the proper equipment and food to survive the night if necessary. If you manage it, it's extremely beautiful!

  Bad choice. This station is behind digression to Granada.

  After half an hour sympathetic guy with a little daughter drove 15 more km just to take us to the station on a way to Granada. God bless such people!

  Been here two times! Once going north to Gothenburg. That was in the summer of 2011 and I got a ride all the way after about an hour of asking people at both Preem and McDonald's. Just no luck. 
     The second time was at about 1 or 2 pm on a sunny day in november. This time I was going south. Asked a few trucks but they were heading north, and most of the other cars as well. Got a ride after an hour to Halmstad! 
     
  I am not sure if there's a better spot - but a truck-driver recommended Rastplats Skrea Backe a bit further south. I'm going to try that the next time! This place works but is not ideal. Most of the cars seem to be going north.

  I had a hard time finding a good place to hitchhike from Halmstad, even though I checked here before. After asking five or six locals for tips and trying out a few places to stand, I found that the easiest spot was to stand about 20 meters from the traffic light on the crossing of Ryttarevägen and Laholmsvägen. Drivers were able to see the sign, make up their mind, and have a chance to slow down before taking the exit onto the highway. I had a sign that said "Snapparp" and got a ride in 10-15 minutes, just before the sun went down a monday in november. 

  The spot is getting an average rank because it's not a perfect place for cars to pull over, you can't ask around and have a sign you just have the latter option, you have to have luck to get a ride a long distance. Still find this spot to be decent and got a ride pretty quick to a better place to hitchhike from.

  From the roundabout, there are two entrances for the cars going north. None of them is really perfect, but we had more luck on this on-ramp with a very tiny margin.

  Good spot, with decent amount of traffic. Rather more likely to get a ride to Inkoo rather than all the way to the Capital Area. Our waiting time was probably affected by the number of us - 3 hitchhikers. (07.2014)

  After waiting for 3 hours for a ride after this roundabout and even later in a spot already on the highway where the traffic from D188 enters, we decided to go to the nearest bus station (Massy RER/TGV) and catch a bus to Briis-sous-Forges and from there walk to the first gas station along the highway - Limours-Janvry. (3km)

  We arrived there with a bus from Bologna. But to reach the gas station you have to follow a street on the right of the bridge. Than you will find the one side of the gas station. It is difficult to reach the gas station from there because there is a big fence and lots of cameras. But dont be afraid just go back and pass the tunnel to the other side of the highway. There is fence which can be passed easily. After a little bit of fight with bushes you will find a betonwall with holes for trash bins. There you can get on the gas station. Inside the gas station you can change the side over the "autogrill " like you want.

  Most of the cars are trucks/vans going to nearby logistics center. Others just go by. In 2 hours only 3 cars stopped, one of them being driven by Guardia Civil staff off duty (who tried to explain that it's illegal to stand here despite I've been standing long before Autovia sign). The man who picked me up told me that drivers can be fined for stopping there. Also he was kind to give me a lift to a first gas station on the road to Victoria.

  2 guys, Saturday at 20 o'clock, to Dresden

  we tried it from different side of the bridge in front of Aldi supermarket, hitchhiked for 2 hours and didn't catch a ride, we had to sleep in place nearby in tent, we continued here in Sunday morning at 8 o'clock, after hour and half we moved to advised side of bridge and waited on traffic lights, there were less cars and we managed to catch a ride in 30 minutes directly to Prague (we had Dresden A13 sign), but I thing it was luck and we would wait there for long time. It can be helpful to hitchhike to first gas station, but you would be probably able to speak German to quick agreement with driver.

  HOW TO REACH THIS PLACE : from gostritz you can walk direction to Rosentitz and when you cross the highway there is a door who goes inside the A17 the door it's always open. Sometimes you can find Police in that station but don't worry they are not going to say anything even if you talk with the drivers. Good Luck

There is a little gas station there, but all the cars were driving into the city (still too central). Luckily from there, I got a ride to this gas station that is at the start of the highway. I waited about 20min, asking drivers. I got a lift a little before Kufstein (was going to Kufstein). Big Shopping mall nearby, cars stop (not plenty, but not few neither). Monday early afternoon.

  Not such a good place though if you want to get onto IC8 direction Pombal. You have to stay exactly where the cars from Pedrogão turn onto EN2, since after that there's no  safe space for the cars to stop because of the turnings. Here the margin is almost none-existent too, but at least the cars can see you well.

  me + Nicol

  from Malaga,ES to Prague,CZ

  15-16:40 12.8.2015

  We got here on a way from Metz dir. Nürnberg.
  Petrol station with a big parking for trucks, McDonald with parking for cars. A shop is nearby. All the complex is vast.
  Not a best place, as there is a lot of locals and the station itself is a bit far away /2 roundabouts) from A6 highway.
  A lot of locals and trucks going to Strasbourg (surprisingly).

  In one hour a german driver Herbert agreed to take us to Nürnberg. He couldn t speak other language, so I had to practise german (good!). When he was having a shower, we talked, ate and drunk with Hamid, a Persian driver (with very few english he knew and few Turkish words I remember). It was a wonderful communication. He wanted to marry Nicol, but than we went away to Herbert's car.

  very good spot to get a ride to at least Villach, but if you're going to Slovenia it might be better to try and get a direct ride, as the last petrol station before Villach might be one of the most senseless gas stations in Europe.

  Good spot if you want to go to the A9 (Nürnberg), as most people from the southern part of Munich use this road. Within 5 minutes, 2 people stopped and offered a ride.

  Make shure you have a sign. The first gas station on A9 is "Fürholzen (Ost)", so make shure the driver is really going that direction. People going to the airport will leave A9 one exit before.

  The main description above is fairly accurate, except the first road at the supermarket stops being the CV-306 and becomes the CV-3007. Turn left directly after the autovia exit, follow the small road, but when the road joins another road, turn left about 200 metres after. You will see graffiti on the wall by Vora and Picayo:

  Attention. If you coming by feet there is a 2m fence or a 2m door you have to cross to get to the gas-station.

  Took awhile to get out of Turda.  I almost walked to Campia Turzii before getting a lift. However many people stopped, but weren't going where I was.  Look for MS or BV license plates for rides further down the line. Finally a nice guy gave me a ride all the way to Sighisoara. :)

  Very good spot to go from Bilbao to South.
  You can reach the petrol station in the following way:
  - take train from Bilbao to Ugao-Miraballes
  - from the train station, get to the east side of the river and go along it to north (u'll be going with some forest road and hiking trail)
  - track your GPS while going the road. in one moment u'll have to go left on trails crossing and u'll be just by the fence to the petrol station. You can jump through it and vuala! you are on the station ;)

  There's no need to cross any rivers, highways or other dangerous things.

  It took me over one hour to find somebody who goes towards Belgium. Most people, especially truck drivers in the commercial lounge are going towards Paris. Most people seemed to go to France, or somewhere else south. It takes a lot of energy and patience, but It is totally worth it, because I don't think it's fun to end up in Calais right now..

  If you are with a truck driver, you can access the commercial drivers lounge. I did it and they instantly checked if the drivers ticked said that there were 2 persons on his truck, so If you are not with a commercial, don't act suspicious, leave your luggage outside. Asking in there wasn't helpful for me though, most people were going to Paris or didn't understand any English.

  Technically my favorite spot for leaving town, however I once had no luck at all getting a ride towards Gera A4. The spot is awesome for Stollberg, ok for Leipzig and Hof (A72) but when I was there nobody was going west on the A4. 

  I eventually left and found someone to drop me at the Rest stop a few km further towards Dresden. It was the same problem there, but eventually I found someone.

  Very bad place to get on the highway. There is no space on the ramps for the cars to stop, and at least 90% of the traffic is local. I tried the gas station nearby and the traffic light (which is often green, cars could stop on the grass but don't do it) and finally gave up after 3 hours. I took the S-bahn to reach another spot.

  I was left 1 km before this place and I was walking alongside the road until I found this place. It was starting to get cold and dark and I didn't have a camping tend. After 30 min a girl picked me up to a small city more ahead and I took a train to my final destination. Remember: always bring a camping tend and sleeping bag with you.

  Firstly, this place stinks because there is the AVR is an incinerator so you smell rubbish the whole time. Secondly, barely somebody pulls over. When I stood there 2 minutes, a girl stopped, but she drove for just 2 km, so I thought somebody else will stop. Not at all I decided to walk to the intersection of the A12 and the A348. Another option is to take the bus to Arnhem which stops at the ramp.

  Really good spot. All traffic heading minimum to borås. To get here from Gbg for free is tricky but possible. Try green express buses to partille. Then just swich bus to landvetter. and then bus 611 (rävlanda/bollebygd), stop at "Härryda kyrka" and walk to the right on "flygplatsvägen". A little bit messy, but works for me, easier than tring to get a ride in the city at least.

  Hitchhikers hell. After several hours got a 5 min ride up to the next roundabout. You can walk 3,5 km to the next gas station. It's quiet nice and big. It's a bit complicated to get there, but it's possible. We started to walk on motorway (but remember - it's not legal). After some 500m you will see a little trail going parallel the motorway. Climb over the fence and better use that one, it's way more safer. And it leads directly to the petrol station.

  Spot is really nice - there's a crosswalk before the bus bay so cars will see you and they'll have a lot of time and space to stop.
  But for me waiting for somebody heading to Poznan was futile - it seems that everyone goes through S3.

  Used this spot to get out of the hitchgathering 2016 together with 2 other hitchhikers. It was raining and all 3 of us got picked up by a car in about 15-20 minutes. I agree that the place is not ideal: no good place for cars to stop although the roundabout is quite spacious and the cars can stop in the other edge of the roundabout without hindering traffic that much. They would have to act fast though.

  Great stop to hitchhike towards Lviv, Halych, Burshtyn, Rohatyn. We just raised our hand, and the car stopped! The easiest way to get there is to catch any bus to the bus station, go along Halytska Street (north-eastern direction), then stop by the gas station (OKKO) on your left for a coffee/bathroom/snacks and then walk 5 more mins until you reach "Ivano-Frankivsk" sign.

  This spot is really poor. Not so much space on bus bay to stop and buses use it frequently, so it will be problematic for drivers to stop there. Furthermore nobody riding on 1st and 2nd lane will take you because it's too far and the 3rd lane is used mainly by TIRs. Those on 4nd lane might stop, but they enter to the traffic and look into their rearview mirrors, so if they see you they will have little time to decide whether to take you. I discourage from hitching here.

  You can find the description \"how to get there\" at hitchbase.com.

  Its the motorway entrance \"Schnellsen Nord\" northwards towards Kiel, Flensburg, Danmark. This place is illegal as you will have to cross the motorway-sign to have a good chance to get a lift.


country: FR
comment:
  Best point to get a lift to the UK. For the Channel tunnel, cars are paid by car, not by passenger. So, if there is a free seat, it is basically possible to ask for a lift through the tunnel. However, it can take up to 1.5-2 hours, because it is hard to convince people that you are neither an illegal immigrant nor in possession of drugs etc. So, have your passport ready to show to everyone and be patient...

  Amazing if going North from barcelona. It takes about half an hour to get there from barcelona, because of the walk, but once i got there i got a lift VERY quickly and the lift went well into france. INSTRUCTIONS: take cercania (train)
  no.2 to Montcada i Reixac (less then 2 euro from BCN-Seints). there
  leave the train station to the left side of the driving direction of
  the train. this is direction pedestrian zone /city center. go along
  the small street til you enter the pedestrian zone (200 m from the
  railway station, where you arrived). Turn to the right and walk for
  about 400m (you cross the bridge and the river). then on the right
  side there is a college. go til you stand under the motorway (200m).
  under the motorway is a parking area. on the right side you see a
  small road. follow it for 150m til' there comes an undercross for the
  rails. on the left side you see the warning: \"dont cross. only for
  authorized personal\". just do it and enter this zone. there is a small
  way which you follow for 300m. then you arrive the petrol station. THIS WAS SO DAMN COOL. FOUND IT ON A RANDOM SITE. want to share the love

  HaShalom junction (next to the haShalom rail station) is a good place to hitch hike if you're north-bound. At the rail station, walk east until you arrive to the Ayalon highway northbound traffic lights. The road is accessible and very wide - Favorable spots are a factory front with a lot of parking space, and a small hitch hiking station further down the lane, even though you are more likely to be seen next to the factory. Most cars either travel to the Kfar Saba-Raanana area via hwy #4, or all the way to Haifa via hwy #2. Remember that in Israel, the sign is extending the index finger and pointing towards the road (sideways, basically) instead of the traditional thumb.

  Medium-sized motorway service station 'Teufelstal'. The south side of the services is excellent for getting rides North, South and East. I haven't tried the other direction yet, but it's probably good too. If you've been travelling east along the A4, this is a great place to get dropped off. Average waiting time 20-30 minutes.

  Terrible hitchhiking spot at Meerane. Meerane is way too quiet, and there is no long distance traffic here whatsoever. If you get stuck here, your best bet is to take a train to Zwickau or Chemnitz, or try your luck on the A4/B93 junction. As I was on the way to Poland and my driver did a 50km detour to here (all the way from the A9) because he was sure that dropping me off at Meerane's McDonalds was a good idea. He shouldn't have bothered. For more info, see http://www.hitchwiki.org/Meerane

  Bad hitchhiking spot near Meerane, although if you find yourself stuck in the area it seems to be the best place to hitchhike from. However you really should consider taking a train to Zwickau or Chemnitz, and trying from one of those places instead. As you can see on the satellite image there is very little traffic on this road, but like anywhere you will get rides if you look desperate enough. I got a car to stop by doing an 'emergency' signal on the side of the road and holding out a sign with just a black arrow on it. To get here, walk from Meerane. For more info, see http://www.hitchwiki.org/Meerane

When heading north you can also take people driving south to drop you at the next service station (Rasthof Kassel,less than 5 minutes,has a bridge to get to the other side to head north again).

  I waited only a few minutes, there was much traffic. Only problem: There is a fence around the station, so maybe you have to climb. But thatâ€™s no big deal.
  To come here take the train â€œRB 25â€ from the cologne main station in the direction â€œMarienheideâ€ or â€œOverathâ€ for 3,20 â‚¬. Leave at â€œStÃ¼mpenâ€ and turn right and go up to the â€œKiefernwegâ€ and turn right. Follow the street that is later called â€œDammelsfurther Wegâ€ up to the â€œPestalozziwegâ€ for maybe 500 meters and turn right. Now you pass the Autobahn and turn right again in the â€œPlantageâ€. Follow this way a few hundred meters through the forest and you will see a service station on the right side. Maybe you have to climb a fence. Now you are on the a station without oil station but much traffic. Easy to get a ride here. Totally it takes approximately 40 minutes from the cologne main station. In my experience this is the best possibility to leave cologne.

  Perfect for hikes to Germany. I used it multiple times and often had a ride directly to (or further than) Berlin

  Climb down the ramp of the Vliegveldstraat (which is the same road as the busy road 'Deurningerstraat' in Enschede where you can easily find a hike to this ramp). Climbing down the ramp is very easy but most convenient if you are not alone so your partner is able to give you the luggage over the fence.

  Traffic island to stand on if you want to hitch at this ramp towards Rheine, OsnabrÃ¼ck, A31. Cars can stop some meters behind you, but might be dangerous with quite a lot of traffic. Nevertheless a good spot, waiting time around 10 minutes

  Parking area Bentheimer Wald with restaurant, police, many trucks. May be good to get Polish trucks. Not many private cars stopping here. Perfect spot when police is closing the border for controls ;-)

  Lots of people who go to Zilina, but many people stay in that area. ItÂ´s good to have a sign with your destination and a big smile on the face. But itÂ´s possible.

  Take the bus to Eurostop. Best place is to go to the corner at the Max Restaurant with a sign. We got a lift in about 5 minutes to Goteborg. Don't try it at the petrol station, most people there are heading south.

  Direction South: No shoulder and dense traffic at this roundabout, the only solution is to try with the cars that are stopped at the red light (Exeter Services is not a good option)

comment:
  Direction Honiton (Exeter Airport): Not the best spot as there is no shoulder but the road is large enough for a car willing to stop

  Direction south to the M5: there is no Shoulder for a car to stop and a dense traffic, so the place is a bit harsh but manageable in the right condition

  There is a little snack bar along the road with possibility to talk to people or the space for a potential car to pull aside (there is also a bus stop between that spot and the roundabout but the visibility is low)

  Direction Blandford and Poole: there is a local Gas Station just after the bridge to Sturminster with a pretty good visibility

comment:
  This roundabout seems excellent for all possible direction; was a good spot for a car to stop in direction south

  Low traffic but a good spot to hitch north and south if you happen to have been hiking on Hambledon Hill

comment:
  Direction South (Penzance): Safe spot, good visibility and possibility for cars to stop safely, you can stand in the grass verge


country: GB
comment:
  Direction South: Just at the entrance of the Shell Gas Station, you can stand there and catch the traffic coming from the station on the right. If the hitching is unsuccessful you can always catch the train or the bus from the very same spot

  Direction Land's End: There won't be possibility to stop a car for a couple of miles if you start from along the A30

comment:
  The spot to leave Penzance to Land's End: There is a shoulder that seems just perfectly built for a car to stop and pick a hitcher; the cars are going slowly enough because of the roundabout and it your destination is usually quite obvious when you reached that spot


country: GB
comment:
  The road is narrow but you can catch a ride with the people just coming back from visiting Land's End (or even ask at the venue's parking even) many cars also takes the scenic road on the south

comment:
  Direction South: Best roundabout out of Newquay with a space for a car to pull aside; make sure to know where you reach though as the road won't be that good everywhere for hitching

comment:
  Direction Cornwall: You have to stand on the Grass as there is no shoulder but the road is wide enough for a car to stop to take you; although it is actually not useful to walk that far from Plymouth to catch the same ride
