  Knowing waiting times and average distances in Spain I think I was pretty lucky. Near this spot there is place to set up a tent in woods nearby between gas station and railroad, it's guarded by a fence but there is place where you can easly cross over it without jumping over it

  Couldn't even remove our backpacks, some French tourists already stopped. 5 star because it's easy for cars to stop, there is good space on the right. And both people coming from Seixal and Porto Moniz can stop for you.

  It's a pretty good place to continue east or west (2 other hitchhikers where there). However, I strongly recommend talking to cars rather than standing there with your thumb out.

  Bad rating but I worked good for me. The last driver dropped me as most who don‘t go to Istanbul use the upper bridge. There is no way to walk (but you can switch the side via tunnel) to the metro (all fenced off, even if you are fine with hopping highways). I asked the police for a solution and they drove me. If the don‘t help you, there is no way to get out of there.

  Got a ride in less than 5 minutes but felt we got very lucky. This is very small lay-by on the side of the roundabout intended for police vehicles. Have to target traffic coming round the roundabout as those from the close exit would have used the slip road (from M25 N). Drivers are held at traffic lights so gives them a good chance to see you.

  To go towards Madrid/Andalusia: You reach this spot by the public „metrobus“ 430A from Valencia. Its not the red city busses but the yellow metrobus. It starts from the main bus station but dont try to catch it there because noone knows where it departs. We caught it one spot down from there and it came by the time stated on google maps. Its like 3€.

  The spot itself is not great but okay. There are people going to Valencia or other local towns (many), some to Madrid and quite a few to Andalusia/Sevilla/Portugal. Many cars are full. 

  We arrived at 20:00 and tried for 2 hours and got close to a lift to madrid multiple times. We went to sleep in a field nearby which was perfect. Next day it took us another 2 hours to go to another service station 1 1/2 hours towards spain.

  I don't know if we just got unlucky but I think its just spain. Many people are shocked when you ask them for a lift.

  I'm backdating this story because I initially missed it when doing my trip write-up.

  This is the only service station servicing Monaco, for that, it seems quite promising! It's a bit of a quest to get to though, first, a bus will take you most of the way out of Beausoleil; after which you need to walk up a motorway service road and hop a fence. Not too good, not too bad. It'll do.

  The sun was getting ready to set when we started hitching, our sign read “Italia” but the evening traffic wasn't looking promising. We weren't too bothered, however, because the views were fantastic, and it looked like a wonderful place to camp!

  Right as we turned round to walk into the woods for the night, we heard a horn honking behind us! Five older Brits on a jolly outing to Italy! They gave us a very entertaining lift to Alassio, where we proceeded to find a place to spend the night.

  If hitching from here, I'd strongly recommend not accepting anything that isn't to at least Sanremo. The Italian police don't like hitchhikers at the best of times, let alone those that get stuck on a border toll booth with no pedestrian access.

  It's a highway, which is not quite allowed to hitchhike, but I saw no other option. Cars go extremely fast and barely notice you. I got lucky and a kind Greek truck driver picked me up and drove after Greevena. There's a place to stop kinda though

  I walked to the "toll" and tried to speak to people there. After one try the cashier send me away saying I was not allowed to hitch in the harbour area. I tried with thumbs further up the road then, but didn't get a lift. Bought a ticket for 13€ then. Check-in closes 30min before departure.
  Maybe you could try to bypass the toll and speak to people when they are waiting in front of the ferry. But I didn't try that.

  You can get to the hitchspot for free with a bus from Innsbruck. For direction north There is a plenty of space to hitchhike on the road directly or you can ask on the gas station but there are mostly people from the oposite direction. The spot is good but you might still need to wait a bit to get lift to germany. If you are heading for A7 there is a better spot further up. About 10km further in Fernpass there is a gas station that is on the right side of the road where you can both ask and hitchhike with thumb. So if you get offered short lifts i would recomend to go to the fernpass gas station. That's your best chance for getting a lift to germany

  Big bustop with plenty of space to stop. Traffic is fairly fast, moderate flow that evening and visibility is OK, within 10 mins a car stopped going to kristiansund, but none to trondheim. Eventually another one to kristiansund stopped and took me over the bridge to the better spot at the rest area. For kristiansund this is great, for trondheim maybe the rest area is better, you can walk over the bridge.

They took us all the way to Kusadasi, which is even further than we planned for the day (originally we planned to get to Izmir).

  Crossing border to Saudi Arabia is very tricky. It's forbidden to cross by walking, so you need to find a car, but most people refuse because they are afraid you may have something illegal with you. 

  I ended up at this station and asked people around for help. There are people that would get you through border if you pay, but I got lucky and met Jordan family who gave me a meal and decided to pay to one "smuggler" to help me cross the border if I also help with his "scheme" of buying cigarettes per person at local Duty Free to sell them in Saudi. So had to buy cigarettes using guys money and say at the police check that I buy them for myself.

  It was one of the weirdest and stressful experiences, mostly because no one speaks English and translator not always translates good. Prepare for a lot of police checks, not understanding a thing in Arabic. Just smile and play it cool. It took us 4 hours to cross the border in the middle of the night. It felt like the most illegal experience of my life, even though I was legally there with visa and etc.

  After that I asked if I could sleep in Mosque near gas station right after the border and I was told that it was ok, so could sleep in normal conditions, not in my tent and charge all my gadgets.

  It's stressful but it is worth it. Saudi Arabia is very nice and welcoming! Prepare for the best trip ever!

Say the driver you need simpang kramasan. The only thing that after 5 minutes of standing there, the annoying cop appeared and wanted us to leave from this turn to the main road. We didn't do it though and just walked down away from him a little, he only seemed confused. Gladly we got our ride after a few minutes.

  Great for getting cars or camions to Santo Domingo, possibly Samaná. Considering many possible directions, just ask the people on the gass station where they're going. We hitchhiked to the hardest direction possible here which is Santiago, asked few people and got a direct hike

  It's hard to get there from Paris and I don't think it's quite worth it and when you are in Vémars it's really easy to get lost and not find the station. But once you're here it's quite good even though I didn't find so much cars going to belgium as I wanted lots of them where going to Lilles. I wanted to stop at the nearest station before the start of the A2 but the drivers were cool and let me go to the first station of the A2 (Harvincourt) where it's a lot easier to go to Belgium from there.

  Nobody stops there, I saw maybe four cars in total in half an hour. Walking there is possible, but it involves a lot of walking across fields and you have to jump about 2.5m from the bridge that passes over the highway. Luckily got a ride from the second truck driver I asked, I suggest you take literally any ride that will get you out of there.

  Whilst I think this is a very nice alternative road this border post itself is quite awful for hitchhiking, I guess cars get carried away by border guards, who don't mind you hitching at all, wait times towards further Poland are 30+ minutes and if you are picky with your rides you may end up with hours before a car going further in would stop, if any

  We tried to hitchhike a ferry to sweden which is possible but not super easy from here. We were standing in front of the check in gates. Cars are waiting  in line there so you can talk to the people if they take you. We asked the employees of Stenna lines ferry company and they told us that the number of passengers matter and people were also showing their passports to them. So it seemed like that with stenna lines it does not work. to hitchhike. But maybe the workers did not really say true and if you would come to the gate already in a car that you hitched maybe it is not a problem to change the number of passengers without aditional fee. But they said you need to pay extra for more passengers.
  Second ferry company TT lines had no workers on the gates so people were doing self check in on a machine. So even though they also have number of passengers in their ticket they could take you since there is no one to check it. We did not really found willing drivers though.
  You could also try to just walk around the gates and directy to the parking where cars wait for the ferry. It seems doable to sneak around but we did not try. You could also try to come with a bike, sneak around the gates and jsut drive on a bike to the ferry with the cars. It depends how much they watch the cameras at the gates.
  The check in gates for going to Denmark are directly next to the ones for sweden so after a while of trying for sweden we gave up and took a lift just to denmark. On the ferry to denmark the number of passengers does not matter so it is an easy thing to do.

  It felt like a decent spot, even if it’s in the city centre. There’s a little used bus stop and a parking area in front of the sports centre for cars to pull to the side. Lots of traffic, but most of it is local. I got no luck (was trying to get to Santiago with a sign). In the end I decided to move and got a lift much faster from my second spot.

  Took the bus over the bridge to get here. Not the best spot in the world. But it is probably your first option if you just got off the humber bridge. There's a lidl nearby for food and cardboard. Also a petrol station you can ask around at if that's your style

  Dropped here by a local CS.
  He told me all his previous hitchhikers got a ride from there on I81.
  Great location, but no one stopped, except a policeman.
  He told me I wasn't allowed to hitchhike here, but when I said I checked the law and I was fine, he ended up acknowledging his mistake and let me keep going, only asking me to be cautious.

  Tried the Shell gas station too, but almost no traffic and clerks not nice.

  Got a ride from a local, thanks to a "fun" sign

  After about 5-10 minutes, I noticed a sign behind me. I can't read Italian, but I assumed it said somehting about being fined for parking in the bus lane. So I left, deciding to try the parking lot of the grocery store. 

  When walking to the parking lot, this gentleman and his girlfriend offered me a ride to the train station to get into Milan (my final destination). I found it difficult to refuse Italians, so I condede! They bought me some snacks in the store, which was incredibly generous! Additionally, another gentlemen who I had jokingly hailed on a bicycle told me he was heading to Milan in a few hours and that I would be welcome to hitch with him then. So two offers in 10 minutes!

  Took me (woman alone) extremely long to find a ride. I walked around the gasstation and stood at different places on the (cross)road. Also had a scary experience with a guy that had purposely stopped on the onramp so I had to decide quickly. Luckily I said no and 30 min later I was taken by a really nice Israeli woman. Maybe part of it being so hard was due to the fact that gas prices were not good there and there weren't many people at the gas station.

  It's a terrible spot to find a car going west, as I did. I was waiting with a sign west in my hands. I hoped that someone would pick me up before going to the new exit on the A0 motorway. But as I understood, people are not yet used to this exit and prefer the old Bucharest ring road. So I had to change my sign to Bucharest and drive a couple of kilometers to the old ring road.

  It's not an ideal spot. There are traffic lights, so cars drive slowly, and there's a bus stop where they can stop, but if you're alone, only the cars in front will see you. If there are two of you, one person can go a little ahead so passing cars can see them first.

  Big truck parking area with cafe, free toilets (for truckers but nobody really cares, use the doors with truck signs) and I was told there is a shower for truckers, so perfect spot for you to get freshened up before asking all the truckers for their destinations, more trucks towards south than north, would recommend asking around here early in the morning or in the evening, during the daytime probably not the best spot, but you will get a long distance ride for sure here

  Perfect spot to go south to the A9 (from there it's easy to go to A4 west), West to A38 or for A72 to Chemnitz.

  I'm using a sign with "A9", "C" (for Chemnitz) or "A38".

  Cars can stop very comfortably and are going slow enough because they drive around the corner rigth before. Right behind you is a space to stop.

  Traffic is crazy. Cars dont have much space to stop there but if they decide to they can handle it. It was worth walking this far. I took a bus from Riga to Ādaži. An Estonian truck driver gave me a ride.

  Took me 2 min to find a ride to Goteborg, by the ferry, it's maybe the best spot to hitchhack out of the city, otherwise you have at least 20 more minutes to walk

  There was no petrol station when I was there, but there is still space to stop next to the road. The traffic is sorted out so that almost all the cars are going to Lithuania. There was not a lot of traffic when I was there, but I got a lift after 20 minutes to joniskis

  Technically a good spot with space to pull over. I was heading south and got stuck there at night, so I pitched my tent in a nearby neighbourhood. The next morning, I easily got a ride to Copenhagen — there’s a lot of traffic heading that way. It took me 5 minutes to get a ride on the morning.

  This spot is not good, we weren’t placed here by choice we were dropped off in a rather bad spot. It’s sketchy to wait around the highway ramps and the round-a-bouts don’t give people a chance to see you and pull over. This stretch of road had a good amount of traffic coming from the south with probably about half of it getting on the highway anyways. There’s room to pull over and a gas station nearby, and a bridge to keep you in the shade. You might be here a while

  Left Barcelona by train u told Castellbisbal, then walked 20 min, and just arriving the gas station the first truck driver I asked picked me up towards València. Best possible way to leave Barcelona going south. When you leave the train station, you'll have to cross the train tracks (not the ones you came from, the other of the fast train) you can do so by going under, I found water and I crossed the road by the highway bridge. The easier way is to pass by the bridge like cars do and take the dirt road towards it.

  Listen to the advice from other hitchhikers taking the eastern road from karakol, this road to Kazachstan is a lot easier to hitchhike!  Take this route if you want to make it to Kazachstan as quickly as possible!

  Waited here a long time without getting a ride. I wanted to go to Brenner, Austria, but most cars went to Milano or Verona. Therefore its better for this directions, but not really for going northwards. I stood in front of the sign but the most time next to the parking lot. As I went to the spot behind the toll station an Italian guy stopped and said its forbidden to stay there. After that I went to the big roundabout.

  Terrible place. Only 1 car every 5-10 minutes, and even though they can see you from far, they are somehow incapable to grasp it might be useful to pick you up as you are stuck in the middle of nowhere. They do honk at you. It's also a dangerous place to stand and the shadowy spots are pretty sparse. I finally got picked up and dropped off at another junction about 30min by foot from the Segesta site. All in all, it took me between 4 and 5 hours to get from Castellamare to the ruins of Segesta (a 20min drive). Don't be stupid like me and just take the Tarantola bus.

Also got advice from a van driver to not be close to the highway gates for a police might fine me, so I moved further to the island of the crossroad and later indeed police showed up and gave me warning not to be close to the gates. There was cafe near where lady gave me free bananas and could use a toilet for free (kinda jackpot in greece). There was no shade on the street so i had to take breaks.

  My last ride let me out at this petrol station since he couldn't take me any further. So I don't know if it's easy to reach by foot, but I just asked drivers here and the first person took me directly to the hill of crosses :) so if you end up here I would just recommend asking the drivers, I don't think just standing there with a sign is effective..
  If you start hitchhiking from joniskis I don't think this spot is ideal (there are probably others that make way more sense) but if you get out here it's quite easy to find the next ride :)

  On s'est fait refouler par tous les chauffeurs routiers de la station , il y en a beaucoup et dispersés partout sur l'aire. La plupart allaient à Tarragone , Valencia ou pas très loin de Barcelone.
  Les voitures n'allaient pas très loin non plus. On est tombés sur un mec qui allait à Gibraltar mais qui n'avait pas de places dans son camping-car , la poisse...
  Globalement on alternait tour des camions / tour des voitures / pouce à la sortie de l'aire. Un russe s'est arrêté et nous a emmené d'une seule traite à Valencia.
  On visait Saragosse , Madrid ou Burgos;  le spot semble pas trop mal pour bouger autour de Barcelone, mais c'est possible de tomber sur la pépite qui peut vous emmener loin !

  It was getting dark so I felt like my chances were getting pretty low. Quite some people ignored me when I came up to them, the vibe of the place doesn’t really help being there with a cardboard. I wanted to go to cologne but went to Frankfurt airport instead and stayed in the city for the night.

  It's quite easy to get to the spot, but the there is not a lot of cars going on the express road. Furthermore, they can't really stop to get you in, because it's an accelerating track, but it might be safer than the Armor's roundabout. 

  I guess I've got lucky to find one car going that far that day !

  Okay enough, highway service stations are always quite a good place. I was heading into Nürnberg, but I arrived in the middle of rush hour and the motorway was a standstill traffic jam. Had a break and then found a car going to München. I unfortunately don't speak much German and the driver asked if I had a boyfriend and wasn't too happy when I said yes, and let me off at the next Rasthof. Found a car taking me into Nürnberg there almost immediately though. 

  But a lot of cars heading really far was passing, seems like most were going south.

  When i was dropped off by the Mallorcans i was initially nervous, it didnt look like much, but this seemingly empty (albeit very pretty) view point is a surprisingly excellent spot!
  You can stand under one of palm trees, behind the barrier before the exit from the view point, be in perfect view of the drivers and in the shade; functionally hitching directly off of the road! I got a ride in under five minutes from a fantastic Catalan man called Juan-Ramon, who took me all the way to Barcelona! 
  My aim for the day was Tarragona, so being able to make it all the way to Barcelona was absolutely amazing!
  In Barcelona i would meet a Greek girl and we would take the train together to Montserrat for El Dia De San Joan..

  Not an optimal spot if you are trying to go south. Good trafic but most of it local i guess. Aso right before a roundabout. Asked a driver with a swedish license plate who pulled in to get gas but he was going north.  I finally got picked up by a girl wo had some spare time and drove me to the border bc she wanted to, she was not going there . Otherwise i guess i would have stood there quite a bit longer. Maybe the on-ramp to the highway would have worked better.

  About crossing the Mongolian border: There is a long line of waiting cars. I went up to them and asked if I could join them. Got rejected by two kazakh cars. They often travel with the whole family to visit relatives in Mongolia, so they may have no space to take you. Better ask cars with russian plates. I found two belarussian travelers who would take me. Even as a westerner without speaking much russian it should be doable to find a lift, if you're lucky you may find travelers from western countries. At the border, no problem as a hitchhiker, you are allowed to travel in another car, just the usual checks and a bit of patience needed...

  After an all too brief visit to Barcelona, I decided to begin my journey north, back towards my home. The original plan was to follow the coast, but being right in the middle of one of Spain's worst heatwaves in years, I decided north to Andorra would be a wiser (and prettier) option. I took the train with a Greek girl I met to Montserrat, where she promised a cable car, a very scenic train, and a monastery, how could I say no! After arriving, she told me she was staying that night in the monastery, and I decided to accompany her to help translate since she didn't speak any Spanish. This lead to a fantastic lunch with the monks and priests amongst the Dia De San Joan celebrations!

  Upon leaving, the bridge seemed like the most logical place to try to stop traffic. However, after an hour of shouted remarks from the patrons of the café across the road, and plenty of middle fingers from passing cars, my patience was starting to ware thin… After a quick beer to recharge, a refill of my water bottle, and another half hour wait, I got a lift from a very loud Spanish man up the motorway a little ways. Despite my pleas to drop me at a service station, he insisted in dropping me in his terrible hometown, Sallent… 

  If you choose to hitch from here, I'd still say the bridge is the best option going, and the train to the monastery is probably one of the most scenic options for getting out of Barcelona. However for your own sanity, definitely do not leave the motorway, get yourself dropped at a service station!

  The gas station is very bad with very few cars. There is no service station, so very few cars stop. But hitching directly on the motorway is possible because of speed limit and lots of place for cars to stop.

  Do not try to come here. Unless ready to face the police or highway services. :) 

  We just got there, happy that we found a spot (not easy to get there) but the second we started hitchhiking, a car from ASFiNAG (highway services) pulled over telling us kindly to go away since it is a highway and recommending us to go to the roundabout (unexpected recommendation by them, but that roundabout is not considered a highway.. that was nice of them) so we went to the roundabout and waited an hour there to get our ride to Klagenfurt

  Avoid getting dropped in Weed if you can. This town doesn't live up to it's namesake. 
  The locals aren't likely to offer a ride and most through traffic is going up hwy 97. You're still in for a long wait, but this ramp is slightly more likely to see through traffic than the other one.

  Amazing spot, picked up immidiately by some Liechtensteiners. Unfortunately this great spot was wasted on a crappy ride, We wanted to go to Zug/Lucerne and they were headed to Zürich so they only drove us like 5 minutes down the highway before dropping us off at a worse spot. They were kinda hippies and I think they just wanted to pick us up cause they thought it would be fun. Word of advice: if it’s not the ride it’s not the ride, and don’t trust Liechtensteiners they’re a bit strange

  That's very good spot to Trebinje. About 3-5pm there is a lot of people going back from work in Dubrovnik. This spot is also used by locals, there was like 4 guys hitchhiking, so I went down to Kaufland for some shopping, when I came back there were gone and I get a ride in about 10min. To get there I walked from Dubrovnik old town, there is an old road between the sea and main road. Quite long uphill walk, but views are amazing and spot for hitchhiking is worth it also.

  It's a gas station, so you have to ask people. We tried hitchhiking for 1 hour and then we asked some czech people (we're also czech) to take us and they were also going to lake Balaton. We got beer and they eventually stayed in the same camp as we did so it was a lot of fun. I always hesitate to ask people but it's usually fruitful, so don't be afraid! the worst that can happen is that they say no and you will never see them again.

  This is a good spot for hitchhiking towards Copenhagen, but not a good spot if you are going from Copenhagen. If you are be sure to get a ride from the ferry to the city - otherwise its an hour walk and not good for hitchhiking. to hitch towards Copenhagen, be sure to be there 45 min. before depature, and you are almost garanteed a ride.

I took the city bus from the north side of Duluth near Brighton Beach to about 3 blocks from here.

  This is an amazing gas station for:
  Murcia, elche, alicante and almansa!

  There’s a big gas station and big parking area with a few restaurants.
  I got here and found a truck for elche in no time. There’s a considerable amount of people coming and leaving.

  The only trucks that will go to valencia from here are trucks that had to unload in a place nearby before so it’s less common.
  To get to valencia, this isn’t so good as you might think, because the main highway for valencia is up north.
  You can try your luck hitching from here to valencia, or you can hitch a ride from here to 12km AFTER almansa where you have the *most amazing* service station in which you can get a lot of rides to valencia and even to Barcelona.

  The spot is a little outside of Vaasa, but you can reach it with a bus. I waited 20 minutes until a truck gave me a ride to pori, but it was early noon in a workday, so I think it will be faster at other times. The spot is right after a traffic light and the cars can see you from a distance, there is plenty of space even for a truck to stop for you

  2 people.
  We had been waiting there for 3-4 hours. Lot of trucks stands there for a night. It should be easy to catch them,  but for 2 people its hard. Many morrocan drivers. We had a cardboard saying „hacia francia” and one employee told us that we are loco  xD. Then we changed it to „hącia Granada” and some crazy guys stopped on the highway without reading our paper. When you are solo - easy, comparing to other spanish stations. 


  Shop in the gas stations is quite expensive (like 2,5e for a 1,5l bottle of water) and tap water is not drinkable. Better to make supplies before.
  We heard also about free showers for drivers, maybe its possible to manage it for poor hitchhiker!

  After 5 minutes, police came by the other side of the road (toll exit), set up their checkpoint and waved me to leave, pointing at the roundabout. In fact, there's no parking here and stopping is forbidden. As I moved to its opposite side (yellow indications to Spain) a guy at the lower boulangerie parking invited me to join him to Hendaye. You can be luckier than me and wait longer at pinpoint to get a ride to Spain. However, don't come here if you're in Biarritz already. Go to Bayonne toll or next ones southwards.
  If you're in the highway, read green pins instead.

  One male 40+, with a sign "VILNIUS" , one big and one small backpacks, dry but cloudy day. Going to Vilnius.
  A very good space. A bus stop, with enough space even for a truck, just after the entrance/exit to a petrol station. 8:45 in the morning. A perfect traffic, a car every 20-30 seconds. I barely started hitchhiking and a car stopped and took me to Bauska, where after 15 minutes I got another ride, all the way to Vilnius.
  The only problem with this place is getting there. Before, from Riga, there is a highway, plus it's 20 kms from the centre. So no chance to walk there. I got a ride from my friend. But I guess there must be a bus from Riga, stopping there.

  Technically good spot, because you stay in pedestrian zone, at bus stop. Drivers have a comfort place to stop. But drivers think it's not necessary to take you, bus will grab you, that's what they think. But drivers who really want to take you – definitely will. I didn't catch nobody, so I took a BOSS.

  Police don't let you HH where the cars and trucks lanes merge and ask you to go to the Shell petrol station where a lot of people wander around.

  This spot is recomended on HitchWiki for rides south from Sundsvall. I´d say it is really bad spot. I got here only because my driver from Bräcke had his destination here. So I took a chance. Friday evening. Nobody going south stops here. No point for drivers heading south to turn to this gas station as it is located in opposite direction. So I thumbed with a sing next to the road where a crossroad is. Very dangerous spot! Speed limit 80km/h, almost no space for pulling over. Good visibility at least. However I got a ride to Gävle in just 5min :D crazy  girl took me. But never again.

  This isn't the perfect spot, but if you're stuck out here in Melissa, then it's probably your best bet. I find that the type of person that stops at Buccie's, isn't the type of person that stops for hitchhikers. 

  That said, people that live in Melissa are even less likely to stop for you. I got picked up by a California transplant, that does a lot of backpacking. He was a really cool guy. He was on his way out to Texoma lake to test out some new gear.

  Walkable from the nearby S-Bahn Station for fellow hitchhikers that prefer to start at a highway service station. 

  Got a ride to the station before Aachen (first car I asked) right away, and easily made it to Ghent (my final destination) in Jan 23.

  Not the busiest road but busy enough. Lots of cars passing and extremely safe given the military base close by. I was picked up in this area twice, once by an off duty colonel and once by some guys in military uniforms. Incredibly friendly people. They also spoke some English. Highly recommend the town of Nilo as a camping spot as well if you need one. The PD was confused but was more than helpful.

  Alia netradicia veturo. Dum mi serĉis bonan lokon ĉe la elirejo, kie estus spaco por aŭtoj halti, mi fine marŝis pli antaŭen, kaj mi pensas, ke ĉi tio eble estas la plej bona loko, ĉar antaŭe ne estas tia kaj poste ĝi fariĝas malfacila. Kelkajn cent metrojn pluen, post la kurbo, estas ankaŭ bona loko tuj post granda domo, sed mi ne scias, ĉu ĝi estas pli bona pro la rapideco.

  La ulo lasis min ĉe ĉi tiu granda butikcentro (kie mi bone mangxis vegane) kie li diris, ke estas multe da BlaBlaCar-kulturo kaj ke, depende de la persono, li eble donos al mi senpagan veturon aŭ rabatoa veturon al Dresdeno aŭ eĉ pli frue. Sed kompreneble, mi ne atendis.

  We decided to try here after trying the parking lot spot with little luck for a while. The idea was to be visible to all vehicles, even those not planning on stopping at the station, since the traffic was low. It worked; a couple saw us, felt bad, and actually entered the petrol station through the exit!! And we got really lucky and got a ride all the way to Innsbruck!

  The spot was ok. A little scary to be out near the lanes like this, and some people gave us dirty looks, but all in all pretty good. If traffic is higher, this spot might feel less safe, and the parking lot spot is probably preferable.

  We used a pretty big sign with "AU" on it. Since cars not planning to stop go pretty fast, using few, big letters is probably advisable, so they can read it from afar.

  Waited at the exit of the station, with a sign Venezia/Padova. I had a lift to Ferrera, but the guy used the national road, not the motorway. If you want to go fast, ask the people if they are going through the autostrada or not, and there is a autogrill between Bologna and Ferrera where you can hitchike.

  Shitty spot if you‘re trying to get to Bergen. Apparently it makes more sense to try on the other side of Voss before the Tunnel as almost nobody driving down that road goes to Bergen. Gave up after 1,5 hours and ended up taking the Train bc i had to be in Bergen at a certain time.

  This looks like the best spot heading west. There’s a crosswalk about 100 m up the road and this spot is at a bus stop so there’s a place for cars to pull over. The road is generally pretty narrow and I checked the other spots but there’s not really a place where cars can pull over. I had 2 cars stop in 20 minutes, one going north and the other west. There’s a good amount of traffic going through here (was here at 8am on a Monday). Got a ride to Medias.

When asking around, I even talked with a man my age who said he was going to Thessaloniki, but "refused to take strangers into [his] car because of all the problems with imigrants". Funnily enough, I was picked up by an Albanian who emigrated to Greece a few minutes later.

  I waited over 6 hours before getting a lift to Belgrade. People did not want to take me because they were worried about the border, even when I showed them my valid passport. I tried regular thumbing, sign with Belgrade, and asking. Sometimes I asked to go towards Romania, since most cars seemed to be going that way, but it did not work anyway. Mabye I should have spent more time asking people than hitchhiking, but it is the latter that eventually got me out of this hellhole (in which you can find Wifi, free toilets and food). Good luck

  Also paid for the passenger ticket (but you can ask arriving people for there return ticket). I went south and asked two groups if they can get me to the first gasstation around 18 km (54°22'57.3"N 11°05'37.9"E) and the second group agreed after a little bit of talking it turned out they go all the way to Hamburg so that was nice ;). When we went past the gas station I saw a lot of people from the ferry getting gas so I think it’s a good spot and it should be easier to get there when asking around on the ferry because it’s just a few minutes away and a lot the people on the ferry will pass this station.

  From here you will certainly arrive (i did it a lot of times) in la Haye Fouassiere or Vallet, at the entry of the national road, witch are better spots than here but still it is not really good.
  If you are lucky you may arrive in Cholet, but sorry, Cholet is the worst city to hitchhack, i now few people who've got their worst record of time waiting there (me too before it was beaten in Portugal)

There is a good sleeping spot if you go all the way back to the metal gate a climb a steep hill to the right, there are some old benches and a place to pitch your tent. There are free showers and they might even let you sleep inside. Someone asked about our sign and took us to the last gas station before Italy. Good place

  If you want to go by the car train up the hill than you need to stop a car (no pedestrians allowed). The train rides between 20 minutes to an hour (google it). What is nice - you don’t have to pay for the passangers inside the car, just for the car itself (so it’s free for you) :)

  This is a great spot for hitchhiking! My original plan was to hitchhike to Kaiserslautern via Nuremberg. After just five minutes, a car stopped, but I turned it down since it was only a very short-distance ride. Twenty minutes later, I got lucky with an 80 km ride to Augsburg, which I gladly accepted and decided to adjust my route for the day.

  This spot is also excellent for night hitchhiking from Munich.

  Only one parking lot feeds into here as far as I can tell. That's fine if you wanna go to Oslo, since many cars go there. For going north this may be a problem. There is a speed bump, so cars have to go slower. And it is below a bridge, so you're safe from the rain. 
  I tried for 10min on a saturday evening in August, 1900. The norwegian public holidays ended this weekend. 
  I found the frequency somewhat low. So I only tried for ten minutes and then left.

  Avoid hitchhiking near the checkpoint. Another guy and I were kicked out, and they even called the police. Even though we were standing at the end of the motorway—which technically wasn’t a motorway—they forced us to buy ferry tickets.
  Don’t accept a ride to Rødby unless the car is actually going to Germany.
  I recently sent a complaint to Scandlines, but it didn’t help. From now on, I’ll either avoid their ferries or hitchhike more strategically.

  We hitch-hiked here because somebody was going to Saulkrasti from Riga and offered to drop us there. I was a bit sceptical at first but we ended up finding a ride pretty quickly after asking around for about 10 minutes.
  The next driver drove us (2 w/ big bag packs) straight to Tallinn.
  I think we got lucky but there seems to be at least some traffic on weekdays.

  The best spot at this juncture is where the road turns and there is a large place to pull off to narrow road. The woman we rode with went out of her way to help us, saying she saw us before, and was happy to see us a second time when she was able. She drove us further because she thought our chances were not good to catch another ride through this beautiful, sparsely populated countryside.

  Regarding the Hotsprings: The guy at the entrance booth looked at me weirdly when I said I hitchhiked all the way there. Cameras are forbidden, but if you hide it at your arrival, they won't look for it. He also told me the owners won't like me asking around for a ride at the parking lot as it is private property.

  Instead, I mentioned in the changing cabin I needed a ride back to town. Two women offered me a fun ride, where we exchanged about our worst&hilarious hitchhiking experience.

  If you are going to the south of France, better catch a ride straight to the south of Valence, we were dropped at the north side (Bourg lès Valence) which is not really good to continue the way.

  If you can get there, it is a truck-drivers resting area, ideal spot for hitchhiking. They all go to Medellin or to Cartagena in the other way, they drive super slow, you have a lot of space and you can go ask directly to drivers having a break.The exact point is behind "Restaurant La Patrona, Planeta Rica, cordoba" on maps.

  Maybe it was because I didn’t knew how to catch a truck, but I had hard time hitching for a ride in the morning aswell, and at the end I stood with a sign and thumb at the exit to catch cars that have filled their tanks and cars that only pass here to cut the line off the main road.

  Empty, very well paved highway. We walked on some sandy paths up to the highway and pretty much the first truck stopped, going all the way to Kashmir. Very friendly guys, delighted to have hitchhikers, they kept making instagram reels. After a while they asked a few uncomfortable sexual questions, but as we were a married couple we didn't feel unsafe. Might be different for solo females. Otherwise, surprisingly good hitchhiking experiences in India, always picked up in less than 5 minutes, nobody asks for money, everyone genuinely curious and delighted to meet you and taking endless pictures.

  If you are alone, and you can sneak past without anyone seeing you, might be a good option, I managed once to then ask truck drivers.

We also got busted by the security when hitchhiking before the ramp, saying he does not want to see us anywhere near.

  Big station, many cars standing on the parking lot, few cars going. People going either to Berlin or North, truck drivers either somewhere local or in pairs (so no place for another person). After two hours of standing with a sign at the exit I went back to talk to people in front of the restaurant. One person who earlier said is not going my direction approached me saying they used to hitchhike and it's good if I move to am Fichtenplan, so I went with them (they were going to the airport to pick someone up)

  The issue is that there are not many cars and most drive only very short distance. Maybe this spot is better in the evening, when people return home from work.

  In direction HR, only 6 cars in line and nobody was too interested in taking us. As we were about to walk across border control, we got into a conversation with two German guys who were in a car next in line, and they agreed to take us to Dubrovnik. On Saturday afternoon in March, there was much more traffic towards HR than towards MNE. Car line at the EU checkpoint was very long, so you can walk between border controls for better odds of you are feeling up for it.

  Narrow toll entrance road, illegal to stop after the roundabout, carpooling happens on the exit side of the toll booth. If you stand at the roundabout, then you miss the cars coming from Urbino.

  One male 40+, no sign, one big and one small backpacks, sunny day. On my way from Dagupan to Subic.
  Generally not a good spot. Plenty of space to stop. But still buildings aroung. People walking. It was almost a sunset so I didn't have time to look for a better one. In 20 minutes a motorbike gave me a 15 kilometers ride. And it was the last one that day. 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.

  Not great, we got there at 8, a lot of people going through, but most to Annecy, and almost all not willing to take you. Cars can't really stop if you cross the french border because it's straight into highway, so you look quite suspicious trying to get into their car just before the border. We (2 people) were trying to go in the direction of Bourg-En-Bresse/Dijon, but luck was so bad we just put "A40" on our sign. Eventually got so desperate we accepted a ride to annemasse in the wrong direction, just to change scenery...
  On the plus size you can go into the change office, it's warm, there's a few standing chairs, some vending machines and charging ports.

  A pretty nice restaurant + gas station that's perfect if you're going in the Eastern direction (Verona, Padova, Venezia, Udine and also Slovenia). Way harder to find anyone who would be going North to Trento. Also I found it quite tricky to get to Modena from here. I waited for a couple of hours and got tired after asking more than 100 different cars so I decied to go set up my hammock behind the gas station, oh how naive I was. There's NOTHING behind the gas station. Just some persimmon plantation, private property all over and a road leading to a ghost town. Though there is a nice restaurant 500 m away from the station (I asked for some food but they refused to give me any. Then the most beautiful waitress offered to buy me a pizza with her money but I gently refused <3) and a big truck parking where I made friends with some Slavic drivers and they gave me their food too.
  After some time I lowered my demands and ened up going just below Mantova.

  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.

  Employees from the nearby Love's ask me to leave, but they didn't really know if I was or not allowed to hitchhike at the gas station.

  Nice amount of traffic and perfect shoulder to stop. Refused two too short rides before I accepted one from an old woman telling me the next exit has better traffic.
  She said she stopped because it was "Christmas"

  Por atingi ĉi tiun benzinstacion vi devas eniri 2 minni-taksiojn, unu el la urbocentro proksime de la longdistanca buso, al Dunoon, kie oni diras, ke ili manĝas blankulojn ahehaeh, kaj de tie alian al Atlantis aŭ Malmesbury.

  Right next to the shuttle service. This looks like a bad spot and I only had a low resolution screenshot of the map so I thought the other green dot was this place. I was almost tempted to take a shuttle to the near village 25 min away (5€, tourist price I guess), but a ride straight to Tirana made me glad I didn't do it.

  Took very long to catch anything.
  Three-lane road and those on the left are having quite hard time seeing you. And the speed is high.
  But there’s a gas station where you can easily stop, although it often misleads you when you’re thinking that someone wants to catch you and they just want to refuel.

  There is not even a sign prohibiting to go on the on-ramp here! So it is technically legal contrary to all other on-ramps in the area!

  Flat surface with enough land for cars to pull off. A nearby field close-by to nap, hide of stash things + close to a Walmart. This is straight a few minutes from the Vaughan station, the northmost station to leave the city. Easiest so far!

  Tried to get a ride first at the exit of Banks (intersection of 6 and 47)
  Perfect spot, with room to pull over, can be seen from far and everyone supposedly going at least to Tillamook.
  After more than an hour, a cop stopped and forced me to walk along the highway, as it is supposedly legal in OR, instead of hitchhiking.

  Got a ride a short after from a man in his eighties and his cute dog.
  Coming back from a doctor's appointment, he offered me to stop at multiple times to take pictures in the State Forest and in Tillamook.

There were not too much cars and I decided to go to the petrol station. The peolpe drove in various directions and after a while of asking I saw a man filling his car with LPG. I've never seen this before and talked to him. Although he said he smokes in his car I got a lift to Herzsprung near Wittstock.

  Perfect spot to get a ride south or to Graz, it took me 45 minutes waiting. I had a sign with just GRAZ and on the flip side, SÜD. I tried asking around at the BP gas station just up the road for an hour and a half and most people were locals. I highly recommend this spot as it gives driver's time to see you and your sign, also there is some space for them to stop if they wanna pick you up, highly recommended! 👍

  Tre bona, sed se vi volas iri al Mongolio kaj estas te malvarma, plibonigus peti plej longa veturadon ol nure gxis la venonta vilajxo cxar la vetero cxi tie en malvarma epoko estas mortiga. Vi povas trovi minibuson gxis tia loko ekde UlanUde.

  Last good spot in Germany in my opinion, try to catch a car for the border (more easier during workday evenings as a lot of Poles work around here but live in Poland), I was here during weekend tho, wait times of 5-10 minutes for shorter rides, locals will be offering nearby rides, but seriously reconsider them.

  Nobody was taking us even if they went in the same direction to Villach, since every car was packed with families going on vacation to Croatia, no space for hitchhikers. Hostile spot

  Super lucky found Czech guys (we are also Czech) they were going home and so were we. 

  Other than that it’s a pretty crowded gas station. I believe it would be no problem to get a car in less than 1hr.

  Probably a good spot. First of all, there’s a no stopping sign right in front of the spot :Dd but the drivers probably don’t care. We waited for about an hour and got taken to a gas station half way to Bialystok.

  Best spot imo headed towards Haapsalu from Risti, tho a lot of the cars coming from Risti don't go far, you'll get a car already on the main road to stop within 10-15 minutes, not hitchhikable at nighttime sadly

  We are heading towards Krakow -> Budapest. A lot of cars, good contact with people - they see the inscription, they react. Unfortunately, a lot of local drivers - you have to count on the fact that one of them will give you a drive to a better location - e.g. MOP Grójec. From where it should be easier to go to catch something to Krakow.

  Gas station was full when I got dropped. Time to go to the restroom and grab a lunch snack, it was empty. Panhandle on the side of the road.

  A Mormon man appeared and offered me a ride. Nice, he told me a bit about the story of the area. He offered me a chocolate mint protein bar and a bottle of water.

  Noce spot, car can stop and you can go in pretty much all directions from here. Beware   Bolognesi are not big fans of hitchhikers but  somebody will eventually stop; I wanted to go to venice/padua, wrote a sign with padova/ ferrara A13 and it helped.

  Easy spot on the car parking near highway in direction of Germany close to the airport. 

  There were no trains or buses to Cologne, the earliest would be in 4 hours, but I am impatient af. Saw it on Google map, came here, approached a truck with German plate numbers and got a direct ride to Cologne. Ez

  We were late at night (less cars than in the day). Amazing spot on the lane at the red light you are able to discuss with drivers. CAUTION: The spot is very dangerous with cars going the other way racing near you, try to be very visible (yellow-jacket, lights, ...). We were heading to Lyon and stopped in Aires des Portes d'Angers.

  Use this spot to leave the royans very often to go to the South (Montpellier, Marseille). It's quite easy to find someone who can drop you on the A7, at least at the Aire de Portes les Valence, juste afeter Valence towards the South, and then it's easy.

  Horrible spot. You have to stay next to a bus stop and only traffic from a certain part if town goes there because the main road, which is only a few feet away but highway with nowhere to stand and fast cars is going through a short tunnel kind of. Stood there for 4 hours without result and made me use buses for 3 weeks afterwards because I thought Turkey doesnt work. Was wrong if course and later it was so easy but it traumatized me. Get a dolmus to go further south or try before the tunnel that splits the road.

  It’s really not the best spot but I didn’t find a better option in Valencia. After half an hour the workers at the petrol station sent me away and said it is forbidden to hitchhike in Spain. So I waited at the exit of the petrol station. There a woman picked me up after another hour of waiting. She brought me in a little town at the coast.

  The classic place from Nantes to go to Paris/Angers
  From here you certainly will arrive in Ancenis on Angers, could be through the highway or the national road
  It always workt OK for me but i never tried the spots further on this road (this is the road you must hitchhack on to go to Angers, no other good choice)
  It's not the dream spot, people can go to the commercial center, on in the ring, but there is enough space to park
