  In our situation this was the best spot. 2 people during daytime. When we were hitchhiking in front of the ramp we were told to fuck off and that the security guard does not want to see us from his cabin. We opted for this spot - quite visible for the incoming traffic. Yes, it is on the highway, but there is a 50km/h sign and there is enough place for you to stand safely. In 15 minutes of standing with DE sign, a czech car pulled over - there is a good place for the car to stop under the bridge. Took us to Hamburg.

  Ended up waiting for 40minutes, but it’s an amazing spot. Basically all the traffic from Adana and southeastern Türkiye headed towards Istanbul takes this road to avoid Antalya. Tons of diverse traffic and great pull off area. Right after a traffic light (even though it’s a highway) so there’s tonsss of time for cars to see you. Got a ride headed all the way to Istanbul but I was just going to Isparta

If you really want to go to Germany it's completely doable there's a lot of Germans. Actually more than Austrians haha. But you have to talk to them. I waited almost two hours at the exit of the gas station then I decided to talk directly to the gas station and I was offered also a ride by a bus driver for free to Graz at the same moment I asked Hungarian couple with a dutch plate, they were going at the North of Holland but we agree to let them drop me at Leipzig.

  Very good spot to go to Warsaw. It's a bit difficult to get there, but once there, it's an amazing spot. We got there at 22:30 and there was A LOT of traffic. First guy we asked took us to Warsaw. Plus they have free toilets and stuff. If you need long rides towards Łodz or Warsaw or further then this is the spot

  I was there afternoon at Monday. Tried around 40 minutes and just one car stopped, which was the wrong direction for me. I tried to reach Oslo. Then just a local worker was going home and gave me a lift. I Stayed before the bridge because of workers from parking didn’t allowed me to stay under the bridge or after. Couple of days after one friend of mine also tried spot for 30 minutes and didn’t have like. But another friend tried once and it was successful for him. To Oslo too. So looks like not bad place, but practically can take a lot of time, because not big traffic from the parking.

  This place is okay, because there is a lot of space for the cars to stop (it's a bus stop, those are the best). Sign to ŠI/ST (šibenik/Split)
  We got picked up by a guy going all the way to Split, but he needed to do something in Šibenik, so he left us at a restaurant and promised to come back for us and he didn't. It was quite shitty, but he helped us a lot and he was nice. Lesson learned: always take a phone number if you agree on something like that.

  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 here, at the nordkapp 500m sign, (it is invisivle from the ticket boots, but has not much space, so warn your driver in advance) and then walk off the road a few hundred metres to nordkapp (the terrain is fine/flat and you can see some cute reindeer).

  Start your way early. There might be no cars at all afternoon, that was our case and we had to spent a night in Langar. 6-7am is a good time to start. Locals usually don't go to Murgab (super rare), but some of them go on 10-30-50km for a pasture. Most of the cars going to Murgab are tourists (probably a few per days). It's better to wait for a ride at least to Khargush, there is a military base and checkpoint. There is almost nothing else between and high opportunity to stuck in a middle of nowhere with no cars at all. However we relied on our luck, took a 10km ride out of Langar, walked a while and got a ride with a tourist directly to Murghab.

In October 2023, there was enough place to stop (much better that on the google maps street view from 2022). Good luck!

  Pour la direction : Vannes / Lorient / Quimperlé.
  Très bon endroit ! Attendu 30 secondes. Beaucoup de trafic. Les gens ne conduisent pas trop vite, pas trop de place pour se garer mais il y a plusieurs voies donc ça ne bloque pas le trafic. 
  Pour s'y rendre depuis le centre ville de Nantes,  prendre le tram 1, descendre à Schoelcher (à la descente du tram, prendre tout droit) et traverser la zone commerciale pour rejoindre le rond-point atantis.

  Update as of March 2026
  The guy is still here and he'll probably be for a while as I believe he's the manager. I got here in early afternoon - he wasn't here at first. I stood next to the entrance and started chatting with the drivers, as I do most of the time. He arrived after a couple of hours and straight told me to leave his property. I didn't even have time to speak to him before he assumed I was refusing. He went to his car to drop what he had in his hands, and came back aggressively towards me. I had already put my backpack on, but he grabbed my other bag and started to push me. Even when I was on the road, he yelled at me to go further. 
  I was honestly really shocked by what happened. It started to get late in the afternoon, and I couldn't get to talk with the truckies anymore, so I hitched back to Broome. That's the craziest thing that happened during my whole trip around WA and I was feeling really bad after it. Don't stop here, this guy is mad and the biggest asshole I've ever seen - you won't be able to talk with him. That's ridiculous but you've got to go on the side of the road.

  Zero traffic, an absolutely dead service station, with very grumpy security to boot, who clearly have zero knowledge about Frances hitching laws. We thought we’d be sleeping here until an absolutely lovely doctor in a sports car offered to take us to Antibes, an absolute no brainer of a yes! To boot, he even dropped us at an excellent spot to leave Antibes which is definitely a win! The sign here simply read “Nice”

  So, unfortunately truck driver from previous spot was indeed driving to Dubai, but the politics of his company did allow only driver in the cabin while crossing, so he had to drop me off just before the border. And although crossing in feet is not allowed, I decided to walk all the way to the checkpoint, and I was lucky!

  I came through 3 police checkpoints, telling then my hitchhiking stories, because they were surprised I came with a huge backpack by feet. Just be funny and play it cool. These guys are bored at the border and were happy.

  When I reach the border customer, they indeed told me I am not allowed to go, but unlike on Jordan - Saudi Arabia border, they didn't leave me with no help, and a nice border worker went asking bus drivers to get me through the border, and one of them agreed to take me all the way to Dubai and they put me there for free.

  It was a pleasant border crossing experience with 0 problems

Walk along the nice off road cycle path on the right side of the road heading north for 10 mins and you reach a big lay-by. Good visibility, not crazy fast yet, plenty of space to pull over.

  Hard spot. Hard to get to (you must either walk along the highway all the way from the border or walk through the small village (Mahala Garata) before it and jump though the fence to the highway. There's a parking lot with few tracks or people taking a break. Also ruins where you can sleep. Police was quite chill with me being there, but nobody wanted to stop for me. I waited like 4 hours then one trucker took me. 
  If you're lucky you can stop someone, if not, place becames a bit of a trap (no bus/train close from it).

  We ended up relocating to the Esso gas station in Speyerer Straße, which seems the better choice for going south down the A5.

  Hitching with 3 people, the spot looked pretty good with quite some traffic and gas station but we still had to wait for some time. Eventually got picked up by a funny couple. When we had to wait in line at the border, the driver wanted to get as close as possible to the car in front of us. Then at one point he kept going and his girlfriend was like what are you doing?? And then he bumped into the car in front of us and that car bumped into the one in front of him. And we where shocked in the back seat. The guy said that he confused the brake pedal with the clutch pedal! We didn't really understand how any driver could confuse that especially since he was a driver by profession hahaha. Well, he paid some money to the angry people outside and that was that. A bit later on, when we were on the road again, suddenly around a corner there were cows on the road. One calf was totally unimpressed by our presence and didn't move an inch. This time, our guy managed to find the brake. A split second later, a car appeared behind us and had to break and swerve to the side in order not to hit us or the cows... 
  After some interesting conversations we reached the beautiful small town of Trebinje. What a day

We tried to hitchhike at a gas station for 2.5 hours, then moved directly onto the highway. After 45 minutes, a driver heading to Pirot stopped us. I don't know if we were unlucky or if it's actually a bad spot. It's hard to say. (Perhaps we should ask the drivers at the Nais Hotel on the other side.) Overall, it's a good place for a wild camping trip – there's a quiet meadow behind the fence, and if you need one, there's a shop and a toilet.

  Direction: Gori, Kutaisi. We got lucky right after the gas station here. Cars getting out of it are slow, it seems to be a much better tactic then thumbing by the side of the highway (lots of cars then, but way too fast).

  It's a nice slow spot, with good room and visibility, but 99% of the traffic here is going to the Res. (Local traffic). If you're hitching through you might want to take the bus ($2.50) out to the bridge / res turn off, and hitch from there.
  What little through traffic that there is, is mostly bikes & RVs.

  This is the last town before Lilooet, but from what I could see the traffic volume is extremely low.

  I didn't have a lot of time to wait, so I ended up turning around and taking the TransCan instead. I took the bus back to Pemberton, caught a ride into Van, in less than 10 min, and took transit out to Chilliwack, caught a short ride that evening, and ended up sleeping in a farmers field. (Don't do that when they're spraying, in the spring)

  That's a place from where a lot of Albanian workers go home. Traffic goes slow. Some drivers ask for money, but I just ignored them or said that no money, but they were persistent on will to get money from me.

  After just 15-20 minutes a nice guy from Albania with his father agreed to drive me to Skoder.

  I appeared at this spot accidentally because my previous driver accidentally made a mistake and took other way to Leverkusen than he planned before. Anyway, this spot was not convenient in my case because I was trying to get back to A1. Anyway, I didn't have any other option when I got there. After approx. 1 hour a kind soul helped me, drove some extra kilometers and took me to the gas station at Burscheid on A1. 
  I think there is much local traffic there, going to Dusseldorf, Duisburg and Leverkusen.

  Maybe I was just VERY unlucky but to me it seems like a shit spot. Spent a total of 5 hours here over 2 days (Saturday and Monday morning) and no one would take us. I think people might be scared to stop on the bus lane at the highway, and the gas station just before the onramp gets only like 5 cars per minute of which 95% are local traffic. I'll try the station ~25km outside now, you can reach it easy by bus in 20min (500huf) although it only goes every 2hrs. 
  2 stars for the gas station with cheap food, coffee and bathroom so you can at least suffer with some caffeine ig

  Biiiig layby! Good visibility, semi slow traffic. Good for going north. Lots of cars but as a two lane highway half of them can't stop for you. after 15 mins I was offered a ride to tore which is the crossroads of the Highlands a 10 mins up the road. I should have taken it if heading north as there is a good laybye beyond the roundabout. I foolishly rejected and waited 45 mins for the next offer of tore. Just after the first car left a camper pulled up right behind me, and with a look of horror and great rudeness told me they weren't stopping for me, get out of their sight. They then proceeded to block the entrance making it dangerous for anyone to stop for me. The lay by is huge so they should have stopped further up  where they wouldn't have blocked it. Inconsiderate rude tossers. bad karma for them.

  Hard to find a place to hitch across the causeway. There's a little stretch after the toll gate, before getting on the bridge, where you can try to find a ride. All cars here will be going to Bahrain. Don't do it on the non-highway road right next to it, most cars there are not going to Bahrain. Plus it's the taxi area to Bahrain and they'll just tell you to go to the taxi. The police saw me and just drove by, but be aware of them telling you to get out.

  If you find yourself stranded in Marie-Galante and are desperately trying to escape to Guadeloupe, this is where you should be standing. Best times to ask around are very early in the morning when people go buy breakfast at the bakery and at sunset. You can also ask the staff at the bar next door Chez Henri if they've heard of anything, they are very friendly and will help you out. There's a place to wild camp on a beach nearby with picnic tables and wooden roofs, ask them for more information.

  If you have crossed the sea by ferry you'd better try catch a car straight from the ferry. I didn't do that and walked all the way up on foot. When I came to the spot the ferry came back with new cars on board. So I had been waiting for about 10-15 minutes when one of the cars stopped. Then the driver lifted me to the Zagreb center. In conclusion, the spot really depends a lot on the timing when the ferry comes.

  Perhaps it was the time of day (one hour or so before sunset), but we struggled to find a ride south on Route 1. It was only after about one hour that a nice local lady took us to Tūrangi. 3/5 because maybe this spot is great in the day time when folks are travelling further. Plenty of space to pull over and relatively slow traffic.

Visibility is great; traffic is decent; if there is not too much traffic, cars can pull over easily. There are busses going to this place, although I don't remember the numbers.

  Twenty minutes on a very silent road, most traffic goes up to the motorway, and this road runs parallel, so it’s mainly local traffic.
  Eventually I got a ride from Edin, an 18 year old Slovene rally enthusiast who thought he was the driver from the French movie “Taxi”. He got me to Jesenice in record time, driving at a heart stopping 160kmh near enough all the way.

  A decent spot to get out of Brasov. Lot's of cars going past. We didn't have any luck at the roadside but managed to find a car going to Sinaia by asking the cars stopping at the petrol station.

  good visibility but sucks to stop. i think it looks quite different to how it was in the other reviews, had better success standing on the middle stripe even though its probably super illegal. eventually got taken to the big station down the road from where going towards the netherlands is much easier

  This is by far the best spot to go north. NEVER go on a ride that goes not as far as Lamia a so many people go farther away. I was standing here for 40 min, was lucky enough to get a 1,400 km ride to Austria. The spot of 509 bus stop 3 km from here is pure s**t compare to this stop. Just stand there and ask drivers to drop you here, it's so worth the effort.

  We thought this roundabout exit would be perfect for all traffic, but there was no place to stop. I believe the part coming from Lomza could be good for stopping cars, but might as well do it closer to Lomza where you are less in the middle of nowhere (if you get the choice from your previous driver) our drivers continue to Szczuczyn, so we'll take the guess and follow them there to see if we can get to Elk

  Beyond this point the road to thorsmork is impossible without a super jeep, and traffic became very minimal. The handful of superjeeps which did pass all seemed to hate hitchhikers and just laughed. The big all terrain bus service eventually stopped but demanded 60 USD for 3 miles. Maybe I just got a bad day, but this wasn’t ideal and I walked the whole way. (5hrs) It was beautiful, but there are serious rivers to cross and the dust made breathing awful. The rest of Iceland was amazing for hitchiking, so the fact that the superjeeps where so hostile was bluntly weird. Other hitchikers reported not getting a ride, and superjeep hostility, apparently they mostly belong to one company who think we are scum.

  Hopefully things will be better for you, but don’t bank on getting picked up, don’t set off unless you can hike the whole way in and out or have $60 for a bus.

  This bus stop is a good spot to go to Camargue from Arles. There's plenty of space for cars to stop. You will have to come here by foot, walking on the side next to where the cars are driving super fast. There is space to walk though. I got a ride in 5 minutes, there are plenty of cars on the weekend.

  Well, the place looks really nice for stop. However today I waited near 4 hours to take a stop, idk why. People in cars looks like they dont know what is autostop, weirdy looking. Also two pathology guys are screaming at me and coming, but got scared after I showed peppergas. Thats my opinion, the place looks really well for taking stop. It's before autobahn, and cars have place to stop to take you.

  Fast traffic, some space for cars to stop. Luckily I got a ride with a local man working in Finland heading back home to Kuressaare and he had no problem taking me all the way to Roomassaare sadam to catch a ferry across to Abruka. He even showed me around the city a bit with his car. I managed to arrive to the harbour two hours ahead of my time, but luckily the captain accepted my story of hitchhiking here and took me across with the earlier ferry.

  I only tried this spot for ten minutes because it was raining and people were hectic. Getting a ride to Oslo should be a guarantee, so many people go there.
  Going north - not sure. I'm not sure how people behave that have parked their car here long-term and go home north. That's why I went to Roald Amundsens veg a bit south, where many people theoretically ought to come by when leaving the parking lot to go on E6. 
  Not sure if people being picked up from friends/family that go north would get in here.

  We spent evening and next morning there trying to get a lift. Local guy told us that it should be easy and we can use sign „hacia valencia”. But in reality it was different. Enough space to stop for a driver near roundabout and if you go further as well. Neighbourhood is quite nice, lots of shops like leroy merlin, lidl (we slept in a tent on the parking there) - you can find whatever you want to. Finally we got a lift, half of a way to Alicante . To sum up, maybe depends on your luck. Write a comment if you use this place and tell something about your observations.

  We tried to hitchhike towards Nisz/Sofia, heading towards Istanbul. After a few conversations, we managed (with a good deal of luck) to catch a driver heading towards Nisz. The driver was so kind and positive that he took us to Nisz, even though he was going slightly in the opposite direction. What's more, he took us to a huge dinner at a good local restaurant. (We broke the speed record while hitchhiking, reaching 188 km/h.) Overall, it seems like a great place to hitchhike towards Sofia, with heavy traffic from cars and trucks.

  I was at this station in the evening and traffic was low so I tried but also I was already planning to stay in a tent somewhere behind the parking and start again in the morning. After 30min police showed up and asked me to leave the station outside this big fence. Probably the owner really don't like hitchhikers and called a police. I found some quiet nice spot outside the highway, but I was spotted in the morning and some "forest police" came, but the guy was really nice and okay with me when I explained him my story. Then I walked to SS16, because if you will be spotted twice on the same autogrill station you probably will get a fine for trespassing, just sad italian highway experience.

  Sunday early morning. Super low traffic. I spent about 2 hour asking drivers at a gas station/McDonald. Only locals comming for breakfast or people heading north. Even several truck drivers were heading only north. So I moved to this on ramp spot with a sign saying SOUTH. There is a bus station, lot of space, very nice spot. After about 45 minutes (still ultimately low traffic) I almost gave up. Saying to myself: 5 more cars and off I go. Fifth car, a truck, pulled over. Adam took me all the way to Malmö. With a break at warehouse where he let me help unloading his truck with a forklift :D.  We had a great conversation. My best HH ride so far.

  a lot of german, austrian and hungarian cars here going north and east as well as slovenians going to maribor, less traffic for zagreb but that was maybe the time of the year. very busy spot but in summer mostly families or cars with not enough room for two hitchhikers. we tried first asking for rides to zagreb but got a lift after we put novo mesto on a sign and asked around.

  The onramp is dead. You'll be catching traffic from the main road. They have good time to see you and are going slow from the roundabout. Cars can pull over on the white line or on the onramp.

  It doesn't look great at first glance, but I've caught a ride to Hjørring here twice. Been offered a ride to Frederickshavn here too. Might be one of the better places to get out of Hirtshals.

  Hitchhiked walking all the way from city center to here, no good place for cars to stop. Bad road.
  Finally ended up here who looked like a golden place to hitch a ride...

  After an hour here (2 hours including the walking part) I gave up and took a bus going to Duncan, hoping to be luckier there.

  At least, my ride was free because I got a bus ticket from a local while I was walking through Nicol St, that was nice.

  On visait Madrid , on s'est mis ici pour l'emplacement qui semblait convenir et selon les quelques avis positifs.
  Assez chaotique, 1 voiture s'est arrêtée mais allait à 20 km plus loin. 
  En soit c'est un bon lieu pour attendre le miracle : toilettes et points d'eau, ravito en bouffe ( bon 4 balles le paquet de Pringles classique...) , espace pour dormir.
  On a scotché 2 panneaux : "Madrid" et "Portugal" ( sait-on jamais !) mais ça n'a po marché.
  On était contraint par les horaires , donc youplaboum on se fait un panneau "Valencia" , et en 10 minutes nous voilà revenu à notre point de départ...
  C'est peut être un bon spot pour aller à Madrid puisque c'est "qu'à" 3h45 de route , mais bon c'est pas en 1 fois qu'on peut juger l'emplacement

  Don't go through the old Cape Loop Road, there is a big dug hole halfway that will force you to go backwards (except if you want to get in to cross it)

  You'll want to get to this place if you're hitchhiking to Rio Gallegos or Punta Arenas without approaching drivers at fuel stations. But be aware that there is no fuel station here, and it's a bit of a walk to any shelter. Stand where cars are coming out of the "rotunda" (roundabout) headed northwest. I failed to get a ride here in the late afternoon, but then succeeded the next morning (with snow coming down hard - maybe I got some pity points). Ride was headed all the way to Gallegos, and even offered to take me as far as Caleta Olivia the next day. Also tried a couple kilometers up the road at the Mision Silesiana, where there's also a good place to pull over, but it seemed like most cars were going too fast.

  If you're hitchhiking in the winter without cold-weather camping gear, be very wary about taking rides that aren't going all the way to your destination - the route is mostly uninhabited except for scattered cattle ranches and border posts, and you could get stranded overnight in some lethally cold, shelterless areas (potentially including the junction where traffic splits going either to Rio Gallegos or Punta Arenas).

  Low-traffic but you’re fairly likely to get someone to stop, all Moldovan traffic has to go this way. I was looking for a short ride in the direction of COMRAT, and I managed to get to Vulcaneşti which I was quite happy with. If you are trying to go in that direction I would recommend using thumb and no sign. If you are going to Chişinau, perhaps ask around at the gas station(s) before this spot, probably easier to get a long-distance ride

  Even though this is pretty much out in nowhere i got a ride pretty quick with some tourists. Since Lysebotn/Kjerag is quite a popular touristy spot during summerseason, i think it might be quite ok to get a ride then, probably not so easy during off-season. For me it was mid-September so quite late in the season. I just stood at the intersection - it‘s quide qide and you can easily stand to the side w/out any danger and still be seen well when cars take the exit.

  After being dropped at the border we arrived here at dusk after a full day of hitching from Bosnia. We got a ride with two Turkish dudes who took all four of us in the back. Great guys but after 10 minutes we got stopped by some shady policeman who thought that we were being snuggled. They   were a bit upset but after a couple of minutes they found out that the drivers boss knew one of the officers. 5 min later the boss showed up and cleared the air. After continuing the driver told us he played the police a 20 euro bribe to continue. Crazy entrance into Albania but oh well at least we weren't arrested. Great driver also he dropped us off at the campsite in skoder. Shoutout to that dude.

We walked to the spot where we got picked up from for 35min in the hope that some people might have taken a different road up to Lukomir and we would have more cars at the intersection (probably not true but maybe look into which way most cars would drive).

  It seems to be a pretty good place to hitchhiking in the direction of Budapest. There is a gas station, a large parking lot for which trucks and passenger cars stand. The station can be reached directly from the E60 road. We tried to catch transport from there to Budapest (from where we wanted to go further towards Belgrade) we were lucky and we came across a driver from Serbia who easily offered us a ride to Belgrade. In general, the traffic is quite high and a lot of locals and tourists. (There is also a Tesla charging station so maybe you can hitchhiking a Tesla)

  Relatively silent gas station but got a ride with a sign and a thumb (Saying Helsinki on one side, Salo on the other one) after 10 minutes to Salo. The driver who took me to the gas station recommended to try to get to Salo for a straight ride to Helsinki.

  In theory this is the best possible spot for hitching towards Balvi, but in reality almost noone drives there, most cars around here head to Vilaka, waited here for 100 minutes and then just started walking and about a kilometer later a car stopped. One of the main reasons for cars being unwilling to stop may be the tensions between Russians/Latvians as Latvians may fear you might be Russian and wiseversa. Also I was told by a local they have had issues with illegal borderhoppers earlier so people may be reluctant to take you, wait times of 100+ minutes expected, good luck

  If you're going in the direction of Brive/Cahors/Paris it's a very good spot to enter inside the highway. Ask someone around Montauban to leave at the starting point, and there is just a gate to climb, so you arrive right after the toll ! You can just wait next to the rest stop and continue your way in the highway !

  There is a shoulder where cats can pull over. At first we (couple, late 20s) waited about 100m before that spot (in front of the A101 supermarket), but the cars go really fast, so they didn't have enough time to turn into the parking of the supermarket. A car finally stopped at the shoulder and we realised that (a) they stopped for us and (b) that the shoulder/bus stop would have been a much better place to HH from the very beginning. The two young guys took us almost until the Bafa Gölü lake, then tried to ask for a "road fee" with google translate but didn't persist when we said no. PS: we tried to do to Bodrum

  Very bad spot for going in the direction of San Sebastian and beyond. I cant recommend to try. I spent four hours asking 60+ People, almost all going to Bilbao or somewhere else. Somewhen a kind man, that I had allready asked came back to me, saying that he talked about me with the staff of the gasstation, which told him that they have seen many hitchhikers struggle at this place to get a ride to San sebastian, but they cant tell why. The man gave me a ride to Bilbao and recommended taking the Alsa-Travelbus to SS, which worked well. 70 minutes were spent waiting for the police to leave the place, because Im unsure if legal to hitchhike at such a gasstation. (they processed a car accident).

  Friday evening, summer. This spot is recomended on hitchwiki as a good option for rides south. I´d say it a really bad spot. There is a self-service gas station and a restaurant. It is located in direction towards north- no point for driver heading south to stop here. I got there only because my driver had his destination here. So I took a chance. Instead of asking people I thumbed next to the road at a crossroad. Very dangerous spot! Speed limit 80km/h, barely no space to pulling over, difficult for drivers to read your sign. Good visibility at least. However I got a ride in just 5min. Crazy girl took me to Gävle. Never again!

  Not too good spot. But I guess there are not many better ones in Oslo. You can't really catch cars on the highway. No place to stop and they go too fast. So you'd be left only with the cars leaving the petrol station. But the traffic isn't that small. I was wearing a t-shirt with a big Polish emblem. A Polish guy stopped to talk to me, saying that he doesn't go too far. I asked him to take me 15 kms up north, to another petrol station, which he did and the other place was much better.
  I'm not sure how long I'd have to wait if I didn't have the Polish t-shirt.

  I use this spot a lot with mixed results. If it's to busy people don't stop because the entry isn't very wide. In this case don't be to picky and take the first ride you get to Isselburg (10km further). This entry is much wider, but with less trafic.

  From where it says on hitchwiki, there’s a path around the gate so you don’t even have to climb. Then keep going and on your left there’s a natural small hill that leads to the motorway and the fence has been rolled back and so you can go straight in. After getting down I walked to after the tolls but I was wearing a hi-vis jacket (9:20pm ish on Saturday in March) and once I stood just after where the trucks come out, I held my sign for no more than 15 seconds before a lovely guy took me to the rest stop after the Moissac exit where you can sleep and eat. Great spot and worth the trip there (bumped the bus to the stop Lapparou)

  Good spot, but even better to walk to the ferry pay tolls. A lot of heavy traffic, meaning that you miss at least 50% of potential rides, because it can be difficult to stop with a truck going in front or behind you.

  Check the itinerary on Molslinjen.dk and be there 45 - 60 mins before the ferry departs. The ferry doesn't allow cars to board 10 mins before departures - only business customers.

  Don't say yes if anyone offers you to go just on the boat. It can be very difficult to get further from there.

  August, sunday late evening. This is a spot where you can ask drivers waiting for a ferry to Germany. Maybe already have your ticket ready? I tryed for a while, but drivers seemed to be quite anoyed. So I decided to walk to pedestrian ferry teminal. Half way there I saw a CZ car  at a gas station so I asked the man if I can go with him to Prague. He said YES! I bought a single passanger ticket on-line and was ready to go.
     About ferry tickets. TT-line is in general cheaper than Stenaline. As a driver it is possible to by ,,flexi, add-on" ticket, than it is possible to add extra passanger free of extra fee, but still that new passanger must be paid for. Good option might be to buy a pedestrian ticket forehand and than HH at this spot or give it a chance once on board. 
          I was takeing the TT-line ferry maybe 10 times as a driver. There is a ticket control at port gate (not necessary operated by human). And I have never experienced ticket control  once on board. So there is a chance to slip in on board and travel for free if you are lucky.

  Got a ride to Berlin fast (with a person going there to bring back a piece of big furniture). Lady at the shop spoke no English but was very helpful with getting the paper for the hitch sign (after we managed to communicate somehow)and even run after me to give me a better one after a minute. Easy spot to get to by walking half an hour from the train station, a bit uphill though

  Not a great spot honestly.
  It's the lane that trucks need to go through to merge again onto the highway.
  Quite a bit of them will actually stop but I did the mistake of accepting a ride to Pirot. From Pirot there's no way you're getting anywhere, if you decide to go there, go to the bus station and you'll get a 4€ ticket to Nis. From Nis it was fairly easy to get to Belgrade or further.

  One of the best places to hitchhike near Katowice. We planned to go in the direction of Ostrava in the further Budapest and we managed to catch the driver to Vienna. Overall, a great place to catch a foot in the direction of Wroclaw, Berlin, Vienna. It is worth going to the parking lot and asking people where they are going - a lot of individual drivers and trucks.

Easy to get a ride to a gas station or toll station on A1 northbound somewhere near Belgrade from which you can then hitch hike towards Novi Sad and Hungary.

  Good spot to get a ride to Helsinki as there is high traffic, but not a lot of space for car to stop. However we didn't wait too long and one car wanted to stop but continues to drive and then came back for us in 10 minutes. So it's better to stay closer to the crossroad as cars have much more time to see you and then stop the car where there is still a space.

  Petrol station and Greggs. Great for asking around for a lift but it’s also on a busy road so I waited at the station exit to try and catch both. There’s a road and car park just above the station for someone to pull into

  The place is a parking for trucks, very few normal cars, there's a shower and a toilet for them, and also a running kebab place. But other than that no gas station or much reason for cars to stop there. I'd recommend not hitchhiking from there unless it's a morning where you can catch a truck ride. :)

  The bus stop after the roundabout is the best spot if you're going from Pula to Rijeka, many cars going even in the evening and the highway to rijeka starts soon. Two cars stopped for me, but the first one offered me a ride to the airport, it wouldn't have been a good choice to take that ride though as most ppl from the airport are going back to Pula.

They didn't even stop by Lyon so they stopped here and I tried to pick another car to Lyon to sleep there cause it was like 6pm when I got there. There were only big families stopping and all, I thought I was going to sleep there but by 9pm a random guy took me by pity to Lyon.

  Отже, з цієї точки я дуже часто зупиняю. Там зупиняється дуже багато машин, тому що вони звикли що там завжди хтось стоїть і пиняє. Найлегше добраттся з цієї точки в напрямку Дружби, Теребовлі, Чорткова, а якщо пощастить, то і до Заліщиків можна і навіть далі(але то хіба фури вже) я зазвичай пиняю в напрямку Бучача, Івано-Франківська, на машину до Івано-Франківська зазвичай доводиться довше чекати, але це як коли. Щонайголовніше, це те, що в цій точці найкраще пиняти в вечері, після 18.00, якщо це літо. Тому що це зупинка, і що 10-15 хв приїзджають міські автобуси. Коли бачите їх, тоді зразу відходьте в бік, і чекайте поки вони проїдуть, щоб автобус мав куди заїхати, і не сталося ніякої аварії, після того як проїдуть, можете собі спокійно далі пиняти. Якщо вже сутеніє, обов'язково включацте ліхтарик на телефоні, щоб вас було видно. Добратися до цієї точки з міста можна маршруткою номер 18 і 8, Щасливої Дороги! З Богом!!!

  Going from Terjit to Tidjikja during ramadan I came to the police checkpoint. After a short dispute with the policemen he understood i wanna hitchhike but didnt let me, instead of it he hitchhiked for me. He got me a free ride in a truck. Was a nice ride, just had to keep watching the driver who was falling asleep cause of fasting in 40 degrees. The fact i got in with a help of police made passing further checkpoints easier (they called the terjit checkpoint to verify). The road to Tidjikja is paved and mostly in a good condition, but it was nearly empty (maybe also due to ramadan and off main turistic season time). With the truck it took like 8 hours.

To get here you take a bus number 3 androgenów for 13 minutes. You can buy tickets inside of the bus. Then you see this station after arriving to this stop (also last stop on this line).

  Good spot to go direction Quissac. Take bus 23 from Tram "Occitanie" to "mairie Prades-le-Lez" (you can blackride the bus), then walk about 5 minutes north.
  Cars are coming from both directions (some avoid driving through Prades-le-Lez). Good luck!

  Should be an excellent transfer point going to or coming from CGN Airport. Lots of rental cars going to airport probably stop here for gas. You can also switch directions to go north, using the bridge over the Autobahn just south of here.

  You'll have to stand kind of in the middle of the street with the off lane to the ferry on your left and the street towards the south on your right. Not very nice, but cars have some space to stop. Not a lot of traffic though. I got a lucky ride almost all the way to the Bosnian border.

  Scotch Corner was my longest ever hitching wait - we're talking about several hours, and then having to camp there overnight, to continue trying to hitch in the morning. I stood at the exit from the services with my thumb out. A massive amount of people stopped to offer rides, but EVERY single one was going South, and I wanted to get to Scotland. Thankfully, the services have free toilets, plug sockets in the corridors, and food. I slept behind the bushes, and it was okay. Since then, I've hitched from there two more times. It seems to be a great spot if you're going south. If you're going North, it's better in the morning, but harder in the afternoon and evening.

  Really bad place to hitchhike. There is a lot of homeless people around this place, which means they annoy the drivers and they just leave the place as soon as possible. If you are heading towards Szeged/Serbia/Romania, make it yourself easier and take the train to Inárcs-Kukacs and walk to the gas station over there. It takes 40 minutes from the railway station but it is the best option for you.

  La afero pri petveturado de mallongaj distancoj en Sud-Afriko estas, ke en ĉiu loko alvenos homoj la tutan tempon por petveturi, sed ili pagas kaj ankoraŭ estas multaj rasaj tensio, blankuloj preskaŭ neniam ĉesas kaj nigruloj kutime nur haltas al nigruloj kaj evitas eĉ paroli kun nenigrulaj eksterlandanoj aŭ blankuloj migrantoj... Do krom la severeco de petveturado, vi ankoraŭ bezonos konkurenci per strategio en sudafriko por si mem. spertaj lokuloj, kiuj plejparte ne helpos vin ĉar ili ankaŭ volas tiun malfacilan lokon por atingi.

  La kamiono veturita de zambianoj, kiu kondukis nin ĉi tien, diris al ni, ke ili iros al Piketberg. Sed ili devis ŝanĝi ĝin kaj faligis nin post Malmesbury, almenaŭ. Tamen

  En ĉi tiu loko 2 aliaj petveturantoj venis kun la plakedo al Moorreesburg, kaj ili ricevis ĝin en 5 minutoj kaj vokis nin. Sed ĉi tiu Bakkie preferus iri aliloken. Sed ĉar la komunikiĝo estis farita de la aliaj petveturantoj, ni maltrafis pli longan veturadon.

  Totally agree with Chris about that bus stops near highways are better than gas station in Sweden.
  This gas station worked well for me, got a ride north to Halmstad. I was hitchhiking at the entrance of the gas station.

  So the spot is not that bad but only one car stopped in 2 hours and he was not going in that direction. We have been picked up by Tiberiu which is a truck driver, imagine how possible for a car it is to stop for a bit. But nobody did... Got a lift to Tg. Mures, we will see there to go to Cluj. I think it is the best spot in the city and we might have been unlucky BUT I advise to go outside the city maybe and try at the next gas station I think it's reachable by foot

  Trying to get South, the location seemed good with nice traffic and plenty of room to pull over. Cops didn't bother.
  However, only two cars who stopped by, one offering a ride 2 exits down the road and the other one to check if I need some money.

  Got a crappy first WaffleHouse experiecne who didn't help. 
  Wasn't in the mood of being on the road, I might not have the good aura that day for people to stop by.

  I ended giving up and went back to where I stayed and decided to leave the city with a Greyhound the day after.

The turn itself isn't the best, not the most amount of room but you will be able to stop anything due to the low speeds, don't be hesitated about most cars staying on Tartu-Räpina highway, try to aim cars coming from Räpina direction - those are the long distance ones, wait times of 15-45 minutes expected

  This is maybe the best gas station in the area.
  It’s open 24h and has a (great) restaurant. It is super known and frequented by trucks. There’s also a fair amount of tourists that do 100km+ rides. The trucks literally stand in line for you.
  A lot of trucks go to valencia.
  People do go to Gandia from here, also trucks, but you’ll need to search for it.

  I haven’t been to the other side of the highway but it seems identical for those going west.

  Eventually a couple from Andorra (approached!!) to pick me up to valencia.

  hitchhiked from the edge of gyumri to tbilisi over many rides, the waiting time was always very short, however many drivers will decline you a ride because they're not going all the way because they don't understand that hitchhiking is about getting many smaller rides, so you may need to explain this to them

  Was hitchhiking on the road, as few people seem stopping at the gas station nearby.
  Suddenly, a Latino man made me a sign to come over. He offered me to drive me all the way through Kremmling. I accepted, and as I was waiting for him to fill gas and clean his windshield, I started discussing with the next-car man, Peter, who appeared to go to Steamboat Springs, my aim for the day. My original driver, hearing this, asked him if he could give me a ride. The new guy accepted.

  Peter gave me an amazing ride, telling me along the way about the story of the valley, sharing his knowledge of the nature surrounding us, the name of the mountains, the ski culture, etc.

  When dropping me, he even took my number, saying he would ask around if someone could host me for the night. Very friendly

  One male 40+, no sign, one big and one small backpacks, sunny and warm day. Going to Otta.
  Spots looks great. A bus stop with loads of place for cars. Cars going slowly. But there isn't much traffic. I waited 30 minutes. I got superb lucky. One driver stopped and asked me where I was going. But he wasn't going to Otta, so he left. But after a few minutes he came back and he said that he'd take half an hour longer route which goes through Otta.
  There is a petrol station and some McDonald's nearby with free toilets.

  This is I believe the exact location of the spot detailed on Szeged’s HitchWiki page. It worked exceptionally well, with sign SRB got picked up quickly by a babysitter driving to Subotica. I chose to drive with her over the border, the wait was about an hour, and I figured it was worth it to avoid potential complications with walking across. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of traffic here, though it was a Friday afternoon so that probably helped.

  for leaving landeck heading west this is the only consistent option. mostly local cars but we got a lift to st anton quickly enough, standing before the bridge opposite the bus stop gives enough room for drivers to pull over if theyre going to join the autobahn, as well youd be more visible to drivers here than under the bridge.

  Its a little bit difficult to reach this place, I take the metro B and in "Ramonville" I start walking in this direction. I saw one spot first, in the roundabout, but didnt like it, so i continue walking next to the road (its seems "dangerous" but is not). When ir reach the Peage, I ask there and they told me to wait on the right. I was with a sign to "Andorra" but if you go to Andorra you can try to use a sign to "foix" (The girls who catch me up didnt know where it was Andorra, they just stop and ask me). I wait for 45 minutes, lot of cars going, the peage make them stop a little bit. Good luck!

  Doable but the place sucks. There is no space to pull over. I moved after a while to second place where is it much more friendly. At the other place in 30min 3 people stopped, but no one going my direction (in case it was 10am Sunday)

  The on ramp here was pretty dead, most of the traffic is going north and then either headed east or west along the 80. Eventually walked on the interstate and flew a sign there. More traffic will see you, but speed limit in this area was 70-75, so I wouldn't expect many people to stop here. The couple that picked me up said they drove past at first and then decided to come back around and pick me up. Got a straight ride to Denver though. Can't remember how long it took as I was walking along the interstate awhile before actually flying. Maybe 20-30-ish minutes actively flying?

  First car we asked gave us a ride to Brasov. The spot seemed great with lots of traffic both towards Brasov and Bucharest, if you can manege to get a ride here then it's probably the best spot in Sibiu.

  Most people are busy and don’t want to take you, but there’s many people in general, and you can stand in front of the service station so it’s possible to signal to drivers and ask people coming out of the station

  One male 40+, no sign, one big and one small backpacks, sunny and warm day. Going to Geiranger.
  A good spot. A bus stop at a small road. Not very busy traffic. 
  I managed get a ride in 20-30 minutes to the next town, about 30 kms up the road.

  Hard to find a ride direction Graz. Asked around for 2 hours and got a lot of unfriendly answers... While i was about to give up and look for a spot to sleep, i asked a last car and the guy drove me all the way to leibnitz. Overall, not many people. If you stand close to the gas station, you can see what cars are coming from what direction and so just ask the ones you need

  Alternative for when no ferry, there's still locals sometimes around this carpark or near the smaller boat port, also there's storebus that comes by here, where locals might be at, you might not get a ride far, but you can get a car to a place that has traffic outside of the ferrytimes

  I was there at 19h to go East
  There were no cars at all, like, zero 
  So i would recommand to go to Carhaix (yes, back West) and then hitchhack from there
  There is space to stop here, but even on the signs people wrote there were nobody, maybe they tried at a better time, so better HH in Carhaix the spot is nice.

  A police checkpoint, again the police does the job for you. The police in Tidjikja is friendly and had no problem with me camping wild and hitchhiking. Sadly i had some brain failure when the policemen stopped a minubus and said this one goes to Nouakchott for 800, i just took it. I consider it as a mistake, but the fact is that up until Sangrave the road was deserted. If you are in a hurry you can take a bus to there and then continue hitchhiking. But also, there are beautifull places around Nbeika and Moudjeria, huge sand dunes, you might just want go there and call it a day there ;)

  Very very big toll ! My precedent ride dropped me just after the tollgate, where the trucks rest. I tried asking them but they were not allowed to take hitchhikers :( and people speed up after the toll so they were not really seeing me. So I crossed the toll to go just before (be careful doing this so that the cars don't crush you haha), and people were seeing me better. But even if there were a lot of cars I still waited 30 min on this side of the toll, then a nice guy from another toll entry called me and took me further haha

  Two drivers stopped to tell me to take the bus instead of hitchhiking. The bus actually stopped to pick me up. 
  There is FREE service since 2024 in the county, offering the possibility to reach Seattle without spending a dollar.
  Check their websites for lines and schedules.

  Caleb, the bus driver, was funny and told me all about it, very caring about me.

  I think this is technically a good spot but I was unlucky here twice.
  First time I got dropped off at the Paris Tille airport because the guy did not want me to hitchhike in the dark and asked me to spend the night in the airport. Well, the airport closed for the night and I had to take bus back to Paris to not be on the streets for the freezing night!
  The other day I got soaking wet with no ride in two hours and gave up eventually, took a BlaBlaCar for the first big service station on the motorway.

  Hiked here from the raststätte because there was a polish hitchhiking race with >8 people there. 

  Climbing the mount from the North-west (like i did) isn't advisable but I'm not sure how else you would reach this place.
