  We decided to stop after the toll, the police station and the gas station to show that we were going to Pelotas. We waited for 40 min, and a truck stopped. The best day is saturday cause many people are going back to their home after a work week.

  To get to this point, we took a bus to near Guaíba (R$ 7 - 2016) and they left us after the police station, in front of the gas station, where there is a bus stop.

  I am not sure if it is this point, but... 
  It is in front of a gas station where there are many trucks. Depending of the time, they are going to Pelotas or Camaquã. We were there around 1pm and trucks were going to Camaquã and cars are full of families or people in their fancy and empty cars.. ahhaha.. so we wait for 1 hour.

  It's not a good place. It's illegal to catch on a highway and cars can't stop there. And they're going pretty fast. BUT we waited less than 5 minutes for a car to Poznań.

  Na saída da cidade há um trevo com o monumento principal. Para chegar lá é necessário pegar um ônibus de linha que circula pela pequena cidade. É possível pegá-lo no centro de Penedo. A tarifa é 2 reais, porém eu pedi uma carona ao motorista que me atendeu prontamente. Há um ponto de táxi com algumas lombadas (quebra-molas, dormentes) onde os veículos passam lentamente.

  Uma das praias mais belas do sul Alagoano, também é o lugar perfeito para pegar carona sentido Maceió!
  Logo após a saída do povoado, os veiculos passam lentamente e há um abrigo com sombra para esperar alguém parar. Talvez nem seja necessário, pois em menos de 10 minutos consegui uma carona diretamente para Maceió.

  I used this place for going back to Spain (Canfrank) after beautifull hiking around Ibon de Estanes. I offer between around 15:00 to 19:00 to increase the possiblity. People are coming back from hiking around that hours. And hikers are a little more kind about bringing you. Not so many people speaks English. So bevare yourself...

  We reach this place after a long hiking trip. We chosed keep walking instead of going back. I think we were pretty lucky to find a car from here. We took a ride to Söke. There was only one small village behind us. Head man of the village took us. If you really stuck, there is a small museum close to that area. The guy in there may help you...

  I waited here 2 hours and nobody stopped. When I showed to drivers plate with word "hitchhiking" in chinese, everyone reject me. I stopped car only after I walked 4 km further.
  police did not allow to cross toll gate. from the beginning they even did not allow to be here, they said "go stop cars in the city".
  4 km further there is a small pocket, so car can pull over

  Somewhere around here there's a place where the metal barrier separating the pavement from the road disappears and it's possible for the cars to stop in a way that they don't have to pull down entirely on the lane. Far from perfect, but it still took us around 5 minutes to get a car going to Poznań.

  As of May 2016 there's construction work going on at the roundabout. If you're heading towards Kraków or Czech Republic and don't want to enter the city, a good spot to get a ride to Bielany Wrocławskie is just where the lanes for the traffic from the roundabout and from the north merge. Not a lot of space, that's why I rate in only average, but due to the roadworks the cars drive slower. A police car passing didn't mind our presence there (we were wearing our reflective vests, might have helped). 10 minutes and we got a ride to Bielany.

  Though not very close, it's a fairly easy and downhill walk from Ulucamii (the mosque) to here. Make sure you walk past the hospital and the gas station as many drivers either turn back around or stop at the gas station. You should be able to catch a ride at least till Kangal.

  At the bypass crossing of McDonald, i tried to hh to the airport. After saying no to 10 taxis and talking with a street food seller i managed to hitch a motorcycle, who went off to get a second helmet before giving me a ride. Had to wait about 30-40min.

  Worth trying, but be prepared for many to stop and block other cars.

  Кажется, как будто отличное место, чтобы ехать - в Мисьонес: до аэропорта ходит городской автобус, прямая дорога на север  (Рута Досе). Но на практике меня никто не брал часов 6. Плюс-минус 500 метров не в счёт. Дело было в выходной день в январе, орды народа ехали со всеми детями и до ближайшего пляжа, наверное, дело в этом.

  There is very little traffic at this border crossing, and it's difficult to get here. Most of the traffic into Romania is from Hungary to Arad, so unless you have a specific reason to enter from here, you better avoid. Hitchhiking after the border towards timisoara wasn't easy because of very little traffic. I was lucky the border police helped me and put me on a truck

  2-6-2016, around waited around 20 minutes in a sunny day. I left around 15:00 and got a straight right to Amsterdam. Some intercity traffic, but the traffic light made it a perfect in between of a hitch-spot and parking-place/gas-station.

(If your going to Rovaniemi and you get a ride from this spot to Oulu, I would recommend getting out 25km before Oulu at the large traffic circle and stay there until you get a direct ride to Rovaniemi)

  The station prohibits hitchhiking on their area, not only on the station but also on their parking space. Stay naive and try to keep unnoticed by staff. It's not possible to leave by walk so that might be a good arguing point.

  There is a bus stop (first bus stop when you walk from the airport). I waited there for 2 minutes and car stopped to take me north (towards Dusseldorf). But I would recommend making a sign becase cars can go from there to many directions. good luck!

  From this spot you can easily find cars going to the north! The road is uphill, so the cars don't ride that fast (though they are not really slowly) and you'll also have all the cars coming from las Americas.

  I got here from Cuenca and directly got a ride continuing to the north. I'D NOT RECOMMEND waiting in the city! Because there is one road around the city and one through it - so here you'll catch all of the cars! It's uphill, so they drive slowly. Same for going south - get dropped of after the roades merge again!

  A nice spot to wait for getting north here. You can from Piura get a ride here (or to Suillana) and then continue from here - for instance to Mancora. The Panamericana does not have a lot of traffic from here to the north at the coast, because there's another Panamericana more in the east - which is shorter if you directly want to get to ecuador.

  This was a good spot for getting north: Behind the 'grifo - nor oriente' - it's in the direction of Lambayeque, you can easily take a bus. There are some 'peatonales' here, so the trucks have to go slowly and you can just take them ;-)

Very good place to HH as cars that go to Poland slow down before joining the highway, plus there is a pocket on the road where drivers can stop safely and easily. Take metro until last station Cerny Most and walk 10 min to this spot (close to huge shopping mall Cerny Most Centrum).

  Perfect spot to HH to Krakow. Were travelling in a couple boy-girl with a sign KRK. Stand next to the barrier as there is a little pocket for drivers to stop safely. There is not too many cars, yet all of them go to your direction, so chances are very high. Due to the turn, cars have to go slowly, so they can easily spot you and have enough time to decide. Got a ride in 5 min.

  Great spot for going to Germany (Plzeň - Rozvadov - Nurnberg/Munich/..). We waited about 20 minutes, very frequented gas station, easy to get a ride. If you want to get there from Prague. Take a bus number 380 to Rudná Hořelice and than take the first street to the right and walk about 5 minutes straight ahead before turning right again (maybe ask for the exact street) and than walk through bushes. And you are there

  Probably the best place to leave Istanbul towards the east. You won't catch all the traffic like at the toll gate but you also don't risk being sent away by police. Use a sign for Bolu and people will also offer you shorter rides, make sure you get one at least to Gebze as just before that is the first gas station on this road.

Take it and you'll get to a brick wall after around 5m. Climb it (easy with the help of the fence) and you're there! The 3rd driver we asked too us directly to MIrandela.

  South-bound hitch spot on the highway.  THis spot is just south of the traffic lights with Boundary street, and has lots of room for cars to pull over.  Traffic is slow here on its way out of Macksville, so its easy for cars to stop.

  Its a good spot to stop and dumpster dive the nearby Woolies supermarket on your way south.

  Only downside to this spot is that it is popular with truckies to stop and rest here.  If the trucks wont take you you might have to wait for them to leave so that there is enough room for cars to see you and stop.

  Good place to HH to Poznań. 2016 - The place is under construction which gives even better opportunities. The cars don't speed because there is a roundabout. There's also a bus stop so cars have a place to stop. Stand as close to the roundabout as you can to give drivers time to make decision whether to stop on the bus stop. POZNAŃ sign is helpful. Look for P... or PO plates.

So i slept on the chairs of the cafeteria. people working at the station were very nice with me and i could use their fridge to storage some of my food for the night. There is clean toilet and the possibility to shower.
  Next morning a started hitchhiking at 8. it took me less than half an hour o get a ride to Montelimar...

  Devant le magasin de la station essence; tu pose ton sac avec dessus une pancarte qui indique quelle grande ville tu vises (tu peux faire en étape ou etre creatif). Moi j'allais a Marseille et j'ai mis une pancarte avec "+ vers le sud"  et une autre "Mars" !! Tu laisse les gens regarder tes pancartes ton sac lorsqu'ils rentrent dans la boutique, toi t'es pas tres loin mais pas collé a ton sac... ils font le lien, rapidement.. ils ont le temps de reflechir a l'interieur du magasin s'ils veulent ou non prendre qqun en stop...
  et quand ils sortent tu leur demande gentillement ou est ce qu'ils vont.

  Sinon tu vas directement demander aux gens qui sont en train de faire le plein, et tu fais toutes les voitures !
  Cette aire d'autoroute est vraiment bien pour aller dans bcp de directions vers le sud.

  Not too far to get to here by foot from city center. I've spoken to a local girl who told me she has seen hitchhikers standing here a few times, so I came here to give it a try. Hitchhiking to Stockholm, I got a direct ride in around 15min. I'd recommend to only accept rides going direct to Stockholm from here, there should be many drivers doing this route and this seems to be always really a good spot. You should stand right at the corner so that people coming from both your left and right side can see you. There's a good space for them to pull over right at this corner, just make sure you don't block it with your backpack and make sure you stand right at the corner so that they have time enough to think and pull over for you safely!

  There's a long bus stop here nowadays but Google Street View is out of dated for the city of Trelleborg so you won't see it here if you check it today (July 2016). Anyways, I'd recommend you to don't stand by this bus stop, people really seem to not stop there! I heard from locals that it might be even forbidden for them to pull over there. This street really sucks to find a place to hitchhike, but also by speaking to locals I heard that they've seen people standing and hitchhiking just after this long bus stop. Go there and you sou should see a traffic sign prohibiting people to walk farther in that road, and that's exactly where you should stand - just by that sign. There's some space just after this sign where the cars can pull over for you. It really sucks to hitchhike in this central part of this road (I haven't tried others) but this seems like maybe the least bad spot over here + people have seen hitchhikers here before. I didn't get any car to pull over for me anyways, but instead a whole bus stopped. Going to Ystad, the driver said "just come in, just come in!" and that was how I hitchhiked a bus that day.

  Bus stop for hitching south. A bit too much traffic for my taste, though. This might be your spot if you want to hitch from Stavanger or Sandnes southwards.

Fares are expensive but you can often get away without a ticket especially by bus.

Go under the bridge and there will be the stairs on the right. Go up and you're on the major highway going north! Walk north some 50 meters, there will be a spot with a shoulder to pull over

  this is the road to the Greek border, so it has very low traffic as only people are using it who want to enter Greece. we were very lucky because got picked up by the 10th car, but for this we waited 30min. there are no trees, and the space is in a valley, so it was very-very hot and the sun was crazy strong. have water with you, and cover yourself (or use umbrella), because the sun can harm you badly, and there is no place to hide.

  Might be a decent starting point to get on the A7. This spot is close to the terminal stop "Anderten" of tram #5. To get to the southern gas station follow the narrow path coming from the bridge across the Mittelland Canal.
  Not much traffic though. If it takes to long you can still walk to the Wülferode Service Area (A7) in the south, which might take another half an hour.

  This sercice area "Demminer Land" opend in July 2016 and is the only gas station at the A20 between Rostock an Prenzlau. It is only located at the western lane but traffic going north can excess it via a bridge. There are not many reasons why you should end up here but if you do, you can choose between going to Berlin or Rostock.
  For going to Greifswald find soneone going directly there or let them drop you either at exit 27 (Gützkow) or exit 25 (Greifswald).

  I was going to try hitchhiking here but there were 2 problems.  First, the traffic is ridiculous and it is super hard to cross the street without getting hit.  Second, even if you are on the correct side of the road to hitch west they don't cut down any of the grass or plants so you would have to walk through tons of brush right on the side of the highway in order to get to the on-ramp.  I wouldn't even try it here.

  This is the location of the largest truck stop in the world!  People that don't hitchhike think that getting rides from truckers is super easy because they go so far, but the truth is that many of them have insurance reasons that they can't pick people up.  I got fooled 3 times at this location from truckers that were pulling over on the shoulder of the on-ramp, but they were not pulling over for me.  After about 2 hours in the hot sun, I got a woman to give me a ride for about a half an hour down the road.  Lots of traffic here, but most of it is semi trucks that won't pull over.  Still a decent hitching spot.

The next morning I was hitching for about a half hour when a girl pulled over headed all the way to Rapid City, SD!

Very few cars to begin with, and if she had been an Iowa resident she probably wouldn't have pulled over.

  Here's a good enough place to catch a lift to a highway A1: as direction to Czech Republic, as to the north (Gliwice, Katowice) - connection to the highway A4. I (alone, a girl) needed to go to Krakow and I found a passenger car there to Krakow exactly after 1 minute. There's enough place for passenger car only, or not too big truck only. But you are good visible for cars coming there.

  Direction to A4. There's enough place to stop, even for a long wehicle car, but drivers go fast and those who go to highway direction often use left lines so it is difficult.

  A place to catch a ride into A-49 autovia to Sevilla.

  There's a gas station, and further along the road some space for cars to pull off. A few traffic lights slow down the cars.

  It's not by any means a great spot, but... possible.

  I waited with a sign a little longer than an hour (it was a bad time of the day, too... siesta time), and finally got a ride.

  Once you get into the highway, there'll be an "area de servicio" (the first one soon, after maybe 15km), where you can find cars to other destinations, like Madrid, or Jerez, etc.

  A place to get a ride direction north  (Santander). There's a gas station nearby, too.

  There are two roads going up to Santander, following slightly different routes... both from this spot, and perhaps from the gas station, you'll find cars going up.

  On a Sunday morning there was plenty of cars passing this spot, I had a sign to Santander, and in 10min got the first ride that took me some 30km up.

  Can't say though if it's a good spot at anytime... it looks ok, not great but ok.

  It's a warehouse and fields kind of area... not much there, but easy to reach walking out from Burgos. 

  I came walking from little roads behind the castle hills, if you come along the main road, maybe there's other good spots before that.

Or you can take bus number 12 from Rijeka bus station Delta until the village Cevla. Then follow direction East and find the highpass which takes you to this petrol station! A Croatian truck driver took me to Zagreb after 30 minutes waiting time!

  Ein guter Startpunkt, um von Victoria zum Juan de Fuca Trail zu kommen. Downtown in den Bus 50 einsteigen. Am Langford Exchange in die Linie 61 wechseln (meist bleibt es der selbe Bus) und bis zur Haltestelle Grant Road W at West Coast Road fahren. Dank BC Transit kostet das alles nur 2,50$. Da die Ansagen im Bus schlecht zu verstehen sind, lohnt es sich, dem Busfahrer zu sagen, dass man da hin will. Er wird euch dann direkt an der Ecke aussteigrn lassen, wodurch ihr euch ein paar Meter Fußmarsch spart.. Am Highway 14 sind die Fahrzeuge zwar schnell untrwegs und ihr steht in einer langen Kurve, aber es gibt genug Platz, um zu halten. Außerdem habt ihr ne tolle Aussicht.

Decided to get the train from nearby Pontypool & New Inn station to Newport, but thence found it difficult to get out of that city going East. However as a stance it is fairly good; you are visible to those at the traffic lights who can also pull in to the service station/McD complex.

Almost nobody was going South however. Tried standing on the acces road with my sign but the cars can't really see you there. Tried asking and eventually found a car going to Antwerp. Had to wait, and ask, about 2 hours for this ride. Was lucky though, this was at about 9am so there was quite a lot of traffic.

  This is a good spot for going south if you are not shy to ask drivers for a lift. Many long distance travellers stop here before leaving Darwin and a lot of them are easily dinstinguishable from local traffic. Also check the service station nearby. Try to go for a long ride (Katherine or further) if you want to cover some distance. Try to not get stuck in Katherine though - it is hard to get out. Noonamah service station is 20 km down the road but a lot worse then this spot so refuse lifts to there and try to find someone going further south. There is bus service from Palmerston to Coololinga but check the timetable well in advance.

  Noonamah service station features mostly local traffic and few long distance travellers stop here. If you are going north that should not be a problem but if you are heading down the Stuart highway you might want to consider catchiing a lift north to Coololinga and look for a lift from there as it is more likely to get a long lift there if you ask in front of Woolworths.

  Good luck if you are hitchhiking into Kakadu national Park from here! You will need it. And other then entering Kakdu via Arnhem highwayfrom the west this is probably your best bet. So be patient and wait. There is a traffic sign up the road that provides shade well into the late morning hours and some trees that provide shade in the late afternoon. During midday it can get very hot so take plenty of water (I ended up taking ten litres during my hitching trp in Kakadu). Traffic can be as scarse as one car per hour even during the daytime. It's mostly tourists passing buy and most cars are loaded to the rim. If you fail to get a lift it is a 10-15 minute walk to the shop in town or the pub for a drink and a talk to the locals. If you camp out bush get well away from the road otherwise drunk aboriginal people might wake you up at night.

If you stand after the traffic lights, drivers can also have more time to consider picking you up.

  No hard shoulder, not much stopping space, probably best to walk along your chosen road for a mile.
  I came here for a 20 minute journey to the West, hitching without a sign and with a beard, thinking I would ride this rural idyll in an instant, but dumbly stood, sprayed with all the usual visages of negativity -(helpless patronising derision at the very concept, blunt affronted peerings of the low-intelligent, excusing gurnings communicating: 'I'm only going down the road that you want to go down fella, so I can't help ya see? otherwise I'd love to', wily grim-toothed grins indicating that: 'You something-for-nothing boys cannae fool me again, laddie', comic thumb-response gestures and the simple fragile drift to the furthest side of the road with an unaffected glance in the opposite direction) for 75 minutes until a ride going 5 minutes west decided to take me all the way.

Held a sign for I-75S, because the road splits. There's no good place to pull off, but there's a stop light, so it works out. Also noteworthy, I was passed by several cops who didn't bother me =)

  It’s a very good spot! The ferry goes every 30 min and you can get on for free as a passenger. You can try ask cars before they go on the ferry, but it’s quite busy and people might not be in the headspace for it, since they are focused on following instructions to get on. Rather go on the ferry and ask people there or make a sign and stand there while people get on. I personally looked for german license plates first and asked them (my final goal was germany), but when they didn’t take me in, I pulled out my sign. One of the cars that I asked took me in after all, when they saw that zagreb would be ok as well, they weren’t sure if they’d drive all the way to germany because of their kid. I hitchhiked in the morning around 10 am and a they took me all the way to Zagreb, which is great.

  Update from Okt 2023: i didnt find it possible to hitch further into the port than this (the workers tell you to leave and there isnt an obvious spot). This worked for me though, even though it was evening and dark, standing with a sign right at the exit of the roundabout into the ferry port. Theres a little spot to pull over also. I had a sign with “ferry:)” got me a ride unto the ferry and then I found a truckdriver that went bear Brussels. The truckdrivers have a special section in the ferry, where I stood outside the door with a sign. It worked and seemed easy enough

  If you’re going to Balaton, do not stop here. It’s an awful spot in this direction. We waited for more than three hours and we didn’t get a ride. Luckily a car carrier trailer stopped and the driver gave us a lift to a better stop in direction of Balaton (5 mins by car further South). Almost everyone stopping at this petrol station is going to Budapest, so this direction is probably better.

As we reached the intersection with the main road we saw a campervan (motorhome, rv, whatever you call them), did the thumb signal, they said "Sorry we're only going to the supermarket", but so were we, so they took us and avoided us a 2km walk. 10/10, waited like 10 seconds.

There is shade, some kind of bench, and the staff was kind in filling my bottle with cold water. I bush camped next to the truckstop. 9 cars/trucks out of ten were going south, some even all the way to Perth. So you'll be fine if that's your direction. Finally accepted a ride to Nanutarra Roadhouse. I'm sure if you come during the dry season it would be a great spot.

  Everyone I spoke to was going North so it was really tricky. I waited by the exit but it wasn’t busy enough for the cars to be stopped so no one pulled over. Tried the same at the exit of the car park with no luck. I approached people at the benches by the food hall and most were going North, or there was one just not interested in giving a lift! Of those who were going North they were very lovely and wished me the best of luck getting to my destination and said they would have been happy to help if I was going the opposite way. My final destination was Peterborough. Finally I met a lovely woman and her two children who offered me a lift to Sheffield and I ended my hitching from there and got a train. Not sure what I could have done differently here. It seemed like an unlucky day.

  We asked the staff at the Restaurant for some cardboard and marker so we could make a sign, they were kind enough and gave us both. We then made an sign with “Plzeň” on it and after some while a couple took us. We were standing next to the Bageterie.

  Good spot, there were many people on holidays driving to Split or coming from the coast driving towards Zagreb. Mc Donald's and gas station is seperated in the two parts to the directions, cars can't cross that line, people can, so you immediately know who drives in which direction. Sunday noon there weren't many people towards Rejika, though after some hours a business man took us directly to Rejika. (he stopped the car in the middle of the highway in Rejika and told us to leave the car to get to a bus station from there.. *wtf*!?)

  June 2018: 
  Direction Hamburg/wherever that's not Denmark:
  Try to get a ride before you enter the ferry from Rødby. It's a rush of cars each time the ferry arrives, but absolutely no opportunity for them to stop except the last cars,unless it's a nearly empty ferry. 

  We just gave up, got a ride from the camping place to Oldenburg in Holstein the next morning but that was just sheer luck. 

  It was also 3 other hitchhikers stuck with us. At least the weather was nice.

  Puttgarden also don't have a grocery store, but the ferry terminal got a soup vending machine, so I strongly recommended bringing your own packed lunch if you plan on getting stuck here.

  There are still road constructions and place is a little bit dangerous.

I was thumbing only the cars from this ramp, it was impossible to try with these from main road. I think it was about 5th or 6th car which took me, so worth to go there anyway.

  Gave it a try for 30min on a Thursday morning from 8 to 8:30 with a sign saying " A14 R. Dresd"  First I tried behind the crossing. I don't think it's such a good spot. Two columns come from the traffic light, only the ones on the right can really stop on the right side, left column is "stuck": there are cars to the right and behind. Not a relaxing position to pull over. I'd say about 40% non-local car plates. Visibility is there, but only for the first two rows of the cars waiting. Then I tried the bus stop. Green phases are mostly long enough to make eye contact with all the drivers - and enough time to make it in if you hurry. I got an offer to the highway by a man who'd then go straight ahead. Overall I didn't get a good feeling so I went to the highway onramp - took 23min for a ride from there.

  really depends on luck, a lot harder to catch here than the other way around in Rostock. i caught nobody going to the first ferry, waited 2 hours and the second car going to the next one stopped. stand near the crossroads where the harbor employees can't see you ;) best to check ferry schedules and get there about 40min-1hr before departure, a lot of people arrive early. at the gates the driver just types in one more person. needs some patience but possible, keep in mind once you go there you either get on the ferry or drive back 2+ hours to find a different way on to germany.

  Basically just take a bus to a busstop (there are loads with big areas to pull over). Use Google maps to check the timetable. If theres no busses soon then they are great hitchiking spots, especially in the snow when other spots are covered. You can buy a bus ticket for about €2 as a student. The busses didn't ask to see my ticket ever. Then you can hitchike away to the islands. 10 min wait time. Wonderful driver.

  We somehow ended up here after catching a ride from Dresden. There's a lot of local drivers, but also plenty of drivers turning on to the motorway towards Prague. I wouldn't go out of my way to end up here, but if you do then it shouldn't be too hard to catch a ride. We ended up with a ride to Brno after about 15 minutes, which I would assume to be a little faster than average at this spot.

  A primeira placa que usei na saída de Lisboa foi Santarém e peguei uma com uns caras que iam até Torres, foi muito boa e estratégica, porque depois deste pedágio usei uma placa indicando pra Leila, e antes desta cidade tem esse excelente posto de gasolina pra pegar pra Porto. Peguei carona com um caminhoneiro ucraniano indo até Figueira da voz, e por mais que eu quisesse conhecer mais Portugal e enrolar um pouco mais, tinha poucos dias até meu voluntariado no congresso universal de esperanto. E minha amiga caroneira Luana estava esperando por mim em Lisboa. Um dia eu volto a Portugal, quem sabe. E o caminhoneiro também me deu uma "coca zero vegana". Bebi. Sorry.

  I spent a night at this gas station and initially tried to hitchhike towards Wroclaw. However, I decided to aim for Hradec Kralove, the nearest large city on the way to Poland. This change of plan worked out well. The next morning, I secured a ride within 60 minutes.

  Most of the traffic consists of locals heading to nearby small towns, making it challenging to hitch longer distances from here. On the bright side, there is a nice McDonald's with a free toilet, a beautiful lake nearby where you can pitch a tent, and an underground passage to the other side of the highway.

  Not a great spot, but still useful if you do not want to go inside Monteria. Try waiting just after the roundabout, you have a road that skips the city and bring you on the road 23 to Medellin.
  Remember you can also stop motos, you have higher chances to have short moto rides until Planeta Rica !
  From there it took me 2 motos and 2 cars in 3 hours to get to Planeta Rica.

  The spot looks super good for long-distance hitchhiking - many truck and cars, toll gates so everyone is going super slowly, lot of place to pull over... But it was the longest time we have ever waited for any vihicule to just stop... supposedly the "red zone" with a lot of drugtraffiking, hijacking, robberies and so on. No one is willing to pull over, even though there is a police station just on the corner. Impossible to get to the city of Villahermosa from there because there is no public transportation

  It's easy to get there. I confirm that the instructions given in other reviews are still valid.

  Overwhelming city, lots of attentions, people willing to interact and help. 2 different aged groups of men wanted to give me money within one hour, a man in the cultural center next to "No problem hotel" drove me to Soran park when i asked for camping spot. English speaking girl at the café over there gave me cheese at 10pm. Chinari monastery was not allowed me to climb from the village bus stop. 
  Hitchhiking in from Chambarak was fun and easy (last man gifted a Holy Bible), hitchhiking out was complicated. Road west to Ijevan was closed, so you need to pass Tavush and Aygehovit! No one picked me up and i walked uphill across all Tavush village. There a group of picnicking men gave me bread and natural vegetables after sunset, asked me if i wanted free hotel. Finally,  once i woke up at the upper bus stop and waited for minibus to Ijevan 9:30am 1000amd, eng-speak lady gave me fruits.

  Only plausible place where you will get a ride is at the police checkpoint near the customs area where they check your passport or 20 km down the road at the next police checkpoint.  Talk to the police officers and explain your situation, truckers are convinced that they are not allowed to take hitchhikers, but that is not the case when the police explains to them there are not going to be any problems down the road.  Take a truck from here (preferably Kyrgyz) and go to the second to last border check.

  February 14, 2023. Not exactly high season for hitchhiking, and we started from Budapest late in the afternoon. So for us (2), this spot was a bit risky, we were afraid that we would have to spend the night there. Eventually we went up to a person and asked if he could take us and he said yes. I imagine this station has more traffic in the summer during the day.

  A great spot if you are heading north along A3. For half an hour I was standing with a sign A6 Heilbronn, but nobody stopped. I changed my sign to Nuremberg and immediately car stoped and took me to Wurzburg Nord gas station. From there it will be more chances to go south.

  Tiny ass dirt road in the middle of the wop wops. Literally nobody here (like one car per day) but got picked up eventually. If you want to get to the doc trails and huts, this is the road, the one to the south over the river goes only to private property, even if it has more cars.

  Ok, this is not your typical gas station/spot, but I changed cars here and thought it might help somebody. If you do not need to go here, do not go here, but if you are here in the middle of nowhere, this might be helpful. Here are quite a few trucks going in almost all directions.

  It’s not great, but it’s Italy. And with it being Italy, it’s actually pretty good!
  I got there in the afternoon in late January, with a sign reading “Verona”.
  I barely got any looks from passing cars, in all the time I was then I think it was two waves at most. But after 45 minutes, Michaela and her young son offered me a ride to Desenzano. As we were driving, her son who spoke English would translate between us, to save me the horror of my broken Italian. She decided that she absolutely refused to drop me at a service station to continue hitching, not because it was dangerous in her eyes, but because she thought it would take too long!
  In her eyes, she wanted to take me all the way to Verona, so the best she could do was invite me to her home for lunch, and buy me a train ticked to Verona!
  After countless refusals on my behalf, I finally gave in to the hospitality, and had the loveliest afternoon.
  “I’ve never had anything like this happen when hitching before!”
  “You’re in Italy now.”

At the beginning I've tried to ask drivers at the station, but finally changed my tactcis. IMHO is better to stay with a cardboard by the road leading to the station (but leave it only a little, so as not to enter the highway!). Statistically you then have a better chance of finding a crossing

  Tiu ĉi veturo estis sufiĉe nekutima ĉar la ulo, kiu loĝis en la domo trans la strato, komencis paroli kun mi, kaj kiam li eksciis, ke mi kreskis en Ceará, kie li iam loĝis kaj havis amatinon, li decidis veturigi min. Mi neniam komprenis, ĉu li nur volis helpi min, babili kaj rememori sian junecon aŭ ĉu li vere iris en tiu direkto. Li eĉ donis al mi 20 eŭrojn poste... ĉiuokaze, dankon multe.

  Good spot to get rides north to Zurich, although many drivers were showing that they were going to the right, idk. Standed with a sign for more than an hour.

  A random tip to get to Oberalp pass is to get a ride through the gotthard tunnel, get off in goschenen and then hitchhike your way up through andermatt.

  Cops came shortly after I started hitching. Said it was illegal to solicit a ride at any on/off ramp, and kicked me out. Maybe if you get a ride quick enough it doesn't matter, but the police are not kind to hitch hikers. The actually spot was pretty good, high traffic area and enough room to pull off. With the police presence though, I wouldn't recommend this spot.

  Previous ride dropped us here from Warsaw; dont know how you would get here from Konin town as there is a big fence separating highway from the small road.
  Cars dont have to stop because it’s an e-toll and there arent that many cars, but still someone going to Poznan picked us up in less than 10 minutes.

  Originally I tried to hitch from the petrol station just down the road from this bus stop. However, early hours in the morning, it was absolutely empty (although the first guy offered to give me a ride, but going down the wrong direction). Tried to take the bus to the on-ramp of the autobahn, but while waiting for the bus I managed to hitch a ride. Got incredibly lucky, went all the way down to near Milan!

  There is a safe place for hitchhiking just before the border crossing. Cars slow down up to 50 km/h and there is a place for save stop. However, almost everybody goes to the Triest city and it’s difficult to find sb going further. A little further, at border crossing, there were policemen but gentile and cheering up in my hitchhiking.

  We litteraly waited 2 seconds showing our "Limoges" sign before a car that was going there just parked at the entrance of the Bakery Marie Blachère (we were two white people, one female one male).
  We were on the grass in front of the bakery (great deals to have a lunch break or just baguette ;))
  We definitely were very lucky, but a lot of cars use this road so you shouldn't wait so long :)

  On a littéralement attendu 2 secondes après avoir montré notre pancarte "Limoges" avant qu'une voiture qui allait là-bas s'arrête à l'entrée du parking de la boulangerie pour nous prendre. (En étant 2 personnes blanches, passing meuf et gars)
  On était sur la pelouse en face de la boulangerie (qui a de bonnes offres pour une petite pause viennoiseries ou juste une baguette ;))
  On a vraiment eu de la chance cette fois, mais beaucoup de voitures passent par là donc vous devriez pas attendre trop longtemps :)

  Perfect place for Makarska/Dubrovnik.
  I get there with nr60 buss. There is alot of space for cars to stop, drivers slov down on turn. Also for hich-hikers in summer there is some trees for shade. 
  After 20 minutes of waiting, a couple picked me up to Makarska and offered me a place to stay.

  Quite good spot just before the tunnel leading to E40 towards Liège. Right side of the road was full of parked cars which made pulling over a bit more challenging. There's a traffic light just before and good visibility so drivers can see you from a far and can consider longer if light is red. Had a sign saying 'Liège' and got a ride from a business man heading back home on a Friday afternoon.

Most people were heading east (Piacenza, Venezia, Bologna) while the others (some of them going south) were simply refusing to take me. Finally, after more than two hours, I asked sb to take me to the Alessandria's train station (the first person I asked, agreed) and I continued by train.

A lot of cars, often with 3 empty seats, pass by - either as local traffic, or ignoring you, or looking at you as if the concept of hitchhiking is completely alien and anthropologically fascinating to them, something they never saw a mortal do before. I finally got picked up, but only taken to an intersection even more in the middle of nowhere.

  Road to Mojkovac is closed, and there was also a lot of road construction works near the bridge on both sides so I ended at this place. This is not great, only small space to stop and you need to walk uphill to there. I had no idea how I can get to Prokletije, but actually after 15min two Czech girls stopped and they were going straight to Plav, one of the luckiest hitchhiking rides ever.

We had cardboard from before, but as they said on the stop opposite, you can probably get it from the gas station if open. There is also a (as of july 2023) unlocked dumpster in the back of it, so you could probably find there as well.

  If you want to go south (for example Bulgaria, Romania) it is better to stand with two signs with different directions (Brno, Zylina). In the evening (Saturday) there is not a lot of traffic. Drivers often stop there to buy highway ticket so you can always ask for a drive.

  A guy and a girl without a sign on a Saturday at noon. We were quite unlucky with this one. We waited for 5h hitchhiking every possible way, only to get ignored by people. The only people who stopped were going South but not towards Oslo. The spot is great in theory but people are very cold here. We ended up walking to Dingle, sleeping in the fields and hitchhiking cars at random on the small roads, which worked better than at the station somehow. We eventually got a ride to Moss, near Oslo. If you get stuck here, good luck !

  It was mid-January and we were worried we might be stranded. We were originally trying to take a different route, but gave up and decided it would be easier to catch a ride to Lisbon and then head north from there. For some reason, military police were posted up at the traffic circle too, we were worried they might be scaring off our potential rides, but truthfully, we were in the middle of nowhere. Luckily, we got picked up by a German guy in a half-converted DHL van, which was a new one for us. Super cool guy, super cool van, he was headed to Sintra and dropped up north of Lisbon.

  This gas station in general wasn't the best. Lots of cars, but a lot of locals, thumbs down, bad faces, beeps. Would not recommend. We tried asking in the gas station, in the ev chargers, and then thumbing in the bus stop inside. None worked well. Ended up in this spot, on the slip road direction Oslo. Small space on the side, not that easy to stop as they go quite fast already. A local bus ended up stopping for us (in the middle of the road) and taking us to Moelv.

  Terrible place if you're heading south. Got dropped off here on the way to Wellington from Auckland, while it is possible to get here southbound on SH1, almost everyone is heading north. I was there around 4 hours, was getting ready to give up, change my sign to Auckland and then fly from Auckland but absolutely lucked out with an awesome ride to Taupo area, and her son was heading to Wellington that evening so he ended up taking me, so it all worked out. 

  Nowhere good to stand though, no room around the roundabout, so you're pretty much only going to be able to try to get either petrol station traffic or restaurant/shop traffic

  Beware!! Got kicked off the property by one of the staff at Roebuck Roadhouse! He was very rude and wouldn't have a conversation with me. He threatened to physically drag me off the property when I told him I wasn't bothering his customers, I was just talking to them. Such an asshole. Maybe you get lucky and he isn't working, but it might be better to stay at the exit of the servo, or on the road

  Towards Tartu, don't know why, since the spot looks ideal (low speeds, speeding up lane, as well as good visibility) but for some reason can't ever get cars here, my Estonian antirecord of wait times has been here, even has great street lights for the darker times, but seems like mission impossible, genuinely wait times are 100-250 minutes in here, would probably recommend going to Tartu through Ahja or Mooste road, good luck

  BAD plan to get there to cross. I almost did it with the truck on the side. But i dont think any car will stop in front of the ferry gate, there are focus on something else, and probably thinking about extra fee. If you want to cross here, the best Wat is probably to find a car more in the inerland. Like a gasstation in Lübeck would be perfect, there you can target danish plate until you find one that cross on the ferry. 
  Otherwise it's 20 euros to cross as a pedestrian

  The on-ramp was perfect, but highway patrol pulled over after 10-15'. Apparently, they got called I was getting in front of vehicles (I was not).

  They seem bothered bc they had to ask me to leave and couldn't offer me any alternative to keep going. I went on the road before the traffic light. They said nothing bc it was out of their jurisdiction. Got a ride soon after that from Verona, a retired woman heading to ID to play the lottery.

  This bus stop is doable for pretty much any direction going out from Viljandi; Holstre/Mustla; Karksi/Karksi-Nuia; Kilingi-Nõmme/Pärnu. Quite some long distance drivers try to avoid Viljandi and thus will go around it, so pretty good odds of getting a car longer distance, if you head towards Pärnu or Karksi, ask for Laidu tee and hitch from there if they go towards Holstre. Bus stop itself has pretty decent visibility, and wide enough, wait times of 5-20 minutes expected

  A polish guy picked me to this spot with words “there are for sure many cars direction Katowice”. But it is very bad spot to go anywhere. Nobody stops here and I have to go to another one, which took me 1,5 hour

  good old place, still working well. we got a ride directly to brno in 20 minutes. the only change is, that the nearest bus stop was renamed, instead of "k sukovu" it's "újezd u průhonic" now. you can get there from the metro C station "opatov"

  La paro, kiu venis al ĉi tiu insulo, lasis nin ĉi tie ĉirkaŭ la kvina matene. Ni restis interne por ripozi, kaj baldaŭ kamionisto proponis al ni veturon al proksima Tokio, sed restis nur unu loko, kaj Muŝki ankoraŭ ne sentis sin sekura vojaĝante sola per aŭtostopado. Do ni ripozis iom pli longe, ĝis ni dormis dum ĉirkaŭ unu horo, kaj poste ni daŭrigis, uzante ŝildon por Kobe.

  Bus stop next to the highway, there is also a gas station here. Speed limit increases from 60 to 100 km/h immediately after the bus stop, so choosing one or two bus stops earlier might be nicer for the cars to be slower (speed limit is 60 all throughout Kuivaniemi and there is a camera at one of the bus stops so cars actually go slowly) . But there is plenty of space to pull over, I got super lucky and after about 30 minutes a truck stopped for me and took me to Oulu. (Female, summer, daytime)

  A great spot for stopping a ride to Brno/Prague. Even though we started late in the evening (like two hours till sunset), we knew getting a ride towards Czechia will be quite easy since there are so many cars with czech/german/polish plates here, however most of the cars were austrian plates going back southbound. Most to the drivers were kind, responding (boosted our hopes and morale). In the end managed to secure a lift 70km beyond Brno.

  Waited 1.5 hours, nobody stopped. Some traffic but not to much. It’s possible to get a ride but I left after 1.5 hours because I didn’t even get any interaction from drivers. No hand signals or anything. I pinned the spot I went to and I got a ride there but honestly I can’t recommend it either it was super dangerous, and I got extremely lucky

  Right before the tunnel that leads directly to Fukuoka, a little hard for the drivers to spot you however there is designated parking by the Lawson's store and they have ample time to spot you because of the traffic lights. Optimal for quickly leaving Nagasaki without the need for an SA.
