  Heading towards Clermont, nobody was taking the peage and people didn't looked at me even when I tried talking directly to them from the barrier... I finally had to take the other direction to Laqueuille so I could take a regional bus, as night was coming

  I camped in the small forest by walking uphill from the train station, crossed the road from station underpass and got a ride by an empty bus

  The Sevanavank monastery in the peninsula is very touristic and gave me good money by busking down at the restaurants

  En la lasta ombro de la lasta arbo ni haltis kun plakedo al Rundu, bakkie haltis, petis monon, kiun ni diris, ke ni ne havus, ili akceptis. La bona surprizo ili estis divundu kaj prenis nin tre rapide. Tio estis mirinda iri ekster la kamiono en la krepuskon kun fulmoj ĉie. Adrenalino plene. Ni estis irantaj al la loko de Emily, proksime de popas-falo. Vi povas trovi ĝin en ioverlander. Senpaga restado por kultura interŝanĝo. Bela familio.

  Lots of space to pull over, but traffic seemed local. I was trying to get onto the E34 to the Netherlands via Antwerp(ambitious, I know) and was offered a ride that took me further down the N9.

  Perfect Spot to all directions of the South but it’s NOT that easy to go there. When you take the bus be carefull and do not use the way to Walk that google maps tells you. The Service station is surrounded by barbed wire fence. So the only was to reach the spot is by walking directly next to the highway in the grass.

  Got here in the evening and stood in the ticket office to ask people if i can go with them, Had no luck, almost everyone buys their tickets in advance. There was like one car coming every 15 minutes. So i slept in some bushes and tried again in the morning but it was the same thing. in the end i had to buy a passanger ticket. I think with lots of determination and time it is possible but pretty hard.

  This spot should work, but didn't work for me. I was trying to get to Luxembourg. But it was Sunday morning, so maybe it was just the lack of cars. But I found out that on weekdays lot of people commute to Luxembourg, so you might have more luck. I had to however move more north for a better spot.

  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

  Very few cars leave oudane, most in the morning so get up super early. I missed most of the cars, two stopped but demanded payment (quite rudely).

  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.

  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.

  Pick people with foreign license plates or from other places in Austria. BN, W, BL and MD will hardly pick you up

  Towards Keila, very rarely used road, with about 5-7 cars passing within a hour, various wait times but you'll find a car to Kloogaranna the least sooner or later, speeds are slow due to train crossing, but you can hitchhike anywhere along the road, wait times of 20-80 minutes

  Not many cars stopping here at all. Wouldn't recommend. Even if for once I was just trying to get to Lyon centre, it wasn't easy, as nobody was going in. Cars going direction St. Etienne go through a tunnel in the center and can make a small exit for you (39b) and leave you at Perrache station.

  Waited 15 minutes, as it's a village there aren't many cars. Three cars came, the third one stopped. They were heading to Erding, I hopped out at Dorfen.
  I swung a sign with Wurmannsquick.
  Pretty good spot, but as it's on private property I'd advise to ask the owners first. As I know them it was no problem at all for me.

  Walked to the spot from the small border pass. There is a sign before the junction and a little space for cars to stop. It was Saturday and I was heading to Novi Sad, but after more than an hour and half I got a lift to Subotica and took a bus to NS there. 
  Although spot itself is convenient, I wouldn't recommend going there all the way from the border.

  Until the road becomes a highway a 1km further all spots of the avenue are even, just take the one you feel comfortable with.
  I chose this one because traffic is a bit spreaded and cars aren't going too fast thanks to the gas station begind. Two lanes and enough space for a car/small truck to pull over on the on ramp.

I waited near the exit, lots of space for cars to see and easy for cars to pull over and for other cars to get around them, and some sturdy oak trees to shelter from the weather.

  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.

  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.

  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...

  This is a great spot to hitchhike to Zenica! The funniest thing happened here, last year my friends and I also hitchhiked in Bosnia on this route. After visiting Sarajevo we wanted to visit this sweet Bosnian lady we met last year in Vites. At the petrol station we got picked up by this Bosnian guy. After two minutes in the car we both realised that we met eachother last year on the same route. He was so happy to see us again that he bought us a beer :D. Shoutout to the best steel factory worker in Bosnia. We will love you forever.

  Went to Monaco, but on the way the driver recommended me to go to the mountain overlooking Monaco first, so he let me out there, but would've been possible to go to Monaco ville also. Be early, as people who work in Monaco leave nice early, to avoid parking problems. I waited after a curve, where cars go slow and could see me easily, behind me was a bike lane and a bus stop where they could stop.

  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).

  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.

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.

  Do not rcommend getting stuck here late, dead gas station, very few cars passing by and many going north, and truck drivers just coming to sleep. I got super lucky waiting at the exit of this Rastplatz as a Polish truck driving on the highway saw my sign for Koblenz and decided to stop at the exit lane of Rastplatz. He was able to drop me off as far as Werratal Rastplatz near Eisenach

  The wait was 45min because no car showed up for 45min. The first car driving this way picked us up. 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). The no cars thing might have been because of national holiday though.

  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)

  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

  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.

  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!

  One male 40+, no sign, one big and one small backpacks, sunny and warm day. Going to Otta.
  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

  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.

  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.

  People have some space to stop here, further they don't, but it's not really a good spot, we waited more than two hours with a sign, to get a ride to Zaragoza. I don't think there is a much better spot for Zaragoza from Pamplona though.

  This is your spot if you wanna try and get a ride directly from Prizren to Skopje. First car that stopped for me was headed to Skopje as I think people going to Pristina are using the highway. Saw a NMK license plate at the gas station too. Make sure to stand after the gas station as all the cars rhat stopped for me came from the gas station not the road

  Most spanish i talked to did not go to Zaragoza. After some time i got a ride with a german women who was going to the french pyrenees. I went with her to Zaragoza to continue to Barcelona. It was around 9 am. I would recommend this spot when going out of Madrid, since other Spots of hitchhiking out of Madrid didn‘t go well. It‘s a gas station + restaurant and there is fairly good traffic.

  Great spot for going south! First time hitching from there got a ride to Tagong (my friend all the way to Kangding) in literally 2 minutes by a local bus driver that gave us ride for free! The rode is under construction so the traffic is slow and there's a restaurant and heaps of space for cars to turn and pull up

  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.

  Very good spot to catch someone going to Prague. It’s the last station in Karlovy Vary. There’s a shop nearby so a lot of people are local, doing their shopping. Some lauries stopping as well.  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). In the end I highly recommend this spot.

  A huge tip: don't hitchhike on this spot on Mondays as there is an open market happening that day and the parking lot is super crowded and busy.

  We were trying to get a lift to Ljubljana in the evening. Many cars but most of them are fully packed for holidays, or did not stop. We slept in the fields next to the station and tried again next morning. After one hour we got a lift towards Ljubljana. Asking people at the Gas station or the Restaurant might be more succesful. Still it is a good spot I think.

  Once got picked up in ten minutes, trying to get to Paris. Was left at the Toul's rest area, do not recommend. Everyone was going south, after a few hours a truck driver took me towards Paris.

  Quite many cars and easy to get in contact with people. However, most were avoidant and / or said that they are heading south (not sure how true this is though). We were there around lunchtime and walked around between the petrol station, the e-car charging place and the big parking in front of MAX. Probably a good spot, but it seems generally hard to brake the Swedish ice. But - we were lucky in the end!

  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.

  Towards Tartu, even though it's 50km/h and it has lights it may take quite some time to get a car, most cars are locals since more of Ahja people go towards Räpina or Põlva, wait time of 20-50 minutes, bus stop isnt that big, but decent enough for a car to stop more conveniently

  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.

  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.

  Good spot, we just stood by the side of the road outside of the gas station. There was a traffic jam, so it was easier. Plenty of space for small cars to stop. We got ride in 5 minutes directly to Gent.

  There is a lot of traffic coming through, and a lot of cars from Germany. Great opportunity to catch a long ride. I had one of my best hitchhiking experiences from here, with someone travelling to Netherlands. The border guards also don't seem to care. With patience you will get a ride. There are also toilets. Peace and love enjoy the ride!

  You can get there from the minibus station right in the city centre (Balıkçılarbaşı Münibüs Durağı) for around €0.50 paid in cash (currently 25TL) (the minibus has a sign for "500 Evler Cd".

  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!

  Medium spot. On daytime quite some traffic. Cars from the right side passing by quite quickly. Took about 20 min for someone (going another direction) to stop to tell me that its not the perfect spot to get people going to Amsterdam. But after 30 min a former hitchhiker picked me up. He went an extra detour for me to drop me at the gas station "The Schaars" on A12 which he knew was a good spot. From there just one car to Amsterdam.

  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?

  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 ;)

  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.

  a lot of traffic, lots of rude drivers (middle fingers, yelling, etc). Ended up hitching here for 5 days before taking a bus to Champiagn (luckily very cheap with amtrak, I would recommend waiting for a good deal instead of wasting time trying to hitch here). Most police officers did not seem to care except for one who threatened to arrest me if he saw me again, but I ended up leaving the next day on a bus anyway. I don't think that's the norm, the other cops there have been relatively nice to me.

  At first I was worried that the spot was gonna be bad because it really doesn't seem like cars could stop anywhere. BUT: after only 2 minutes I got a ride to himeji with a very kind family.
  They stopped their car in a road parallel to the onramp, so if you attract cars from the main road, they will have a chance to stop there and reenter onto the highway, so don't worry.
  I even got help from the local firefighters at their building just down the road, one of them walked me all the way to the point and explained me where to go and what to write on my sign.
  If you need the bathroom, further down the road there is a gas station with a clean bathroom, so your needs should be covered.
  I recommend this spot, even though it seemed sketchy at first.
  Edit: on my sign I wrote 姫路方面 which means "towards himeji"
  You can ask your ride to drop you of at the next SA, or service area (サービスエリア)

  Omg, I can't even say how lucky I am. I was hitchhiking there at night with no hope for a ride and I was late to a rally event in Hail, when a legend stopped by me!

  An Indian traveler guy, my best friend now stopped in the middle of the night to a complete stranger, I told him the situation and he changed his route to drive me to a rally and go fast so I get on time! I couldn't believe my luck!

  This guy just saved me. I got to a rally on time and had a great evening watching show and seeing finals.

  I was just going along the highway with my thumb up. I think in a day time this spot is even better. At night here's also good light so drivers easily see you

  Ask for a bus to Ikea to reach close to here (bus stop: Stångjärnsgatan). Felt like the cars are too fast but in the other hand the curb on the side is wide and we got a ride in 15 minutes. We were on the verge of moving to the beginning of the previous roundabout where I think I saw a busstop. Will happily leave an analysis of that spot for another time. :)

  This is a good spot to catch a car for the ferry to Germany. I was waiting just outside Mac Donalds asking directly people entering or exiting Mac Donalds, without a sign. I also went to talk to people at the electric car charging station. After 15 people and roughly 30min, I finally found a swedish couple who was going to take the ferry and was willing to take me with them. Apparently, other cars were going north so not all cars parked here are going south. I was alone and with a small bag.

  Important update since 2016 - there is a camera watching you.

  I was trying to go south. After an hour of waiting with a sign on a ramp, a highway traffic vehicle stopped by and told me to leave, since it is already a highway. I had to move to the traffic lights junction, where it felt very desperate. Just when I gave up and started searching for buses, a car stopped and took me across the border to Belgium.

  Try this spot at your own risk.

  Best nearby place to hitchhike in direction Wien. Started 9 am on a Friday. Make sure to stand along the highway, as you'll have a much better chance than if you stand within the gas station. The guy who picked me up said he saw hitchhikers 30 meters or so in front of me (which you can see as a pin on hitchmap), but he wouldn't have been able to pick them up, as it was hard to stop.

  There is just a right amount of cars passing here(1 every 10 or 20 seconds) and at least half of them go to the IC, that's why I stood here.
  They don't go too fast so they have time to see you and there is a good space just behind you so that even a small truck can park (it was a small truck that took me).
  I wrote "Hajimemashite Takachiho" in Japanese on my sign.

  As of July 2023 there's roadwork going on at the entrance to the gas station making it difficult for drivers to go here. I would strongly discourage going here unless you're trying to catch a ride with a truck of which there are still plenty.

  This isn’t best. Not a lot of traffic comes through this rest stop, and many people not wanting to take us. Had a sign for Lucerne/Interlaken. Given that Lucerne is so close I think a lot of people stopping here have longer to go, so it’s not ideal for Lucerne. We got a ride to Horw after a while

  We where in front of the lidl and at the side for a really long time, no one is going to sandander at leat in the evening, the cars that stopped always went east, we just had luck that one guy drove us just out of kindness to the place we wanted, the people usually drive past you three times, a lot of traffic, a lot of smiles but a lot of frustration. We couldn't find out but I still guess without a sign you have more chances that you leave this place somehow

  Direction Czechia. Cursed place. Waited for 14 hours here after we got to a much worse place - the airport.

  We decided to get dropped of here in the evening from a ride coming from Hamburg. We made a risky bet to try to find a ride to Czechia, or at least towards Dresden. We asked almost every incoming car for Dresden or Cottbus without luck. We found a Slovak van driving over the whole night but only with 1 seat, but we were 2.

  The problem with this place is that there are so many directions after Berlin, so the chances are quite slim to get a quick ride. Although it is very easy to get to Berlin.

  If I were to do this again, I would stay on the ride from Hamburg, get into the city center, use public transport to find a good exit in my direction.

  I have left from this spot SO many times. Best way to go North out of the valley. Take the lightrail all the way east to Gilbert Rd. Take the Gilbert Rd bus (doesn't run Sundays) all the way north. Walk about two more miles to where Gilbert road ends. Guaranteed rides, no cop harassment. Everyone is going at least to Fountain Hills, a good half the traffic is heading to Payson or beyond. I have started trips to Flagstaff, Payson, Chinle, Moab, Las Vegas, Santa Fe, and more from this spot. Worth it to take this highway over the I-17 any day.  Wait times tend to be short.

  Bus stop right before a stoplight. Tons of cars coming from Keukenhof Gardens. Can talk to drivers stopped in long lines from traffic light. Everyone I talked to was going opposite direction from Amsterdam even though all traffic to Amsterdam must pass that spot. Only one person actually pulled over and stopped for us, but she was going a different route.
  After over an hour we looked at bus options. An unmarked bus stopped and said he was going to Amsterdam and that the bus was free, so we were lucky, but other people on the bus said they’d had to pay for it.

  It‘s directly after a roundabout so cars are driving slow and can see you well. Many cars go towards Linz. I‘d recommend trying to get a ride directly to Linz as it might be hard to get another ride along the road.
  I‘m hitchhiking to Linz quite a lot and people stop for me within 5-15 minutes usually.

Ni provis, sed fakte la automobilo haltis en la superbazaro, verŝajne ankaŭ pro Teamo Schaukel, kiuj en ĉi tiu kazo estis tri kaj ne povis preni tiun rektan veturon, kiu fakte donis al ni la unuan lokon ĉi-tage. Multaj homoj ankoraŭ provis, ĉi tiu ulo fakte iris al Mustar. Bosniano retiriĝis en Francio. 

  Alia ĉeĥa petveturanto ricevis veturon antaŭ ni en la sama loko, unu iranta al Tajlando ankaŭ per petveturado.

  Waited more than one hour although I was visible and had a sign for Toulouse... I chose to stand at the beginning of the lane going to the rideshare parking (about 100m before the toll) booth to avoid the risk of being kicked out (there is a gendarmerie next to it), that's maybe the reason...

  Great for going to Lauka or nearby villages, but don't get fooled by the road name, if you are interested going to Käina or anywhere south, go to Kärdla and from there to Käina, as almost noone uses this road to get there, if going to Lauka, 5-20 minutes to get a car

  the only Gas station directly on the highway between Rostock and Greifswald.
  It serves both directions but there were more people for direction east. I was ther on a work day noon in winter. There was not super much trafic but some cars would still come. Most people were going to Poland or Stralsund. One person would be driving towards schwerin, one person to magdeburg. Few people were going to Rostock and on a ferry to Denmark. Only few people were going west. It took me 4 hours until a person agreed to take me to Lübeck.
  So all in all I´d recomend if you wanna go Stralsund or Poland. If you wanna go further west I'd recomend to get out on one of the parking areas on the highway or to hitch somewhere from rostock. this place sucks.

  Used this spot to hitch a ride into Skopje. I ended up just focussing on the people coming off the A2 highway, as traffic already on the road was driving too quickly and no space to pull over. But it works out perfectly because all drivers coming from the A2 have to come to a complete stop and wait until traffic is clear so enough time to make some hand signals and get some real eye contact.

  There is a possibility to get to the next Service Station Aire de Limours with public transport and a 30 minutes walk and a fence (easy to climb). Sounds like an effort but is probably the best way to get out of the city.

  Very good spot to continue the hitchhike to south. A water spring is available. Drivers smiled, 2 cars stopped within 40-50 minutes and the second one dropped me in Vila Real.
  However, if you are going to Viseu/Coimbra, don't drop off on the western side of Vila Real where the bus station is, or you'll need a city bus to A24 entrance (5/31/51, cost 1,55€). Also if you wanna continue to Porto or the west, that highway entrance in Vila Real city centre looks steep and uncomfortable to wait at, so you'd better check the map for a better continuation.

  Here might be good northward as well.

State Trooper pulled over to check on us and apologize that they aren't allowed to pick up hitchhikers anymore.

  Spot qui n'a pas fonctionné du tout. J'y suis resté 4 heures, sans succès; un record absolu pour ma part. J'ai eu le droit de certaines voitures à des doigts d'honneurs et à des grimaces sans que personne ne s'arrête. Allant en direction de Marseilles, j'ai ensuite décidé de prendre le bus qui va le plus au sud de Lyon, à Feyzin où ça a bien mieux fonctionné; de nuit en plus! Cependant je ne recommande absolument pas l'entrée de Feyzin.

  I waited there about 2 hours on a wednesday afternoon, but I think that it is pretty decent for Paris. Initially I had a sign with A10 / Bordeaux / Aire de Limours written on it, but then I switched to keep only A10 and much more cars stopped, until I was taken to the Limours gas station. Nice shady little wating spot, with space for cars to stop. Good luck 😉

  I took a ride to la Jonquera at 1 minute from arriving. Now in the truck i am thinking maybe a should have wait a little bit more and get it until barcelona. Will see in junquera. Gooodluck

  It's not the best spot to pull over, but the best nearby, got a ride very quickly though. Hitchhiking as a couple with a "Schneeberg" sign... There's also a possibility to stand at the traffic lights or at the exit from the highway. Though I wouldn't probably stand at the exit myself since there are many locals heading to the mountains who don't come from the highway.

  Just after the border you have plenty of space to hitchhike, and border officers dont care. But not many cars, and the main difficulty is to make a greek car stop for a hitchhiker. I tried without cardboard and after that with a cardboard for Thessaloniki (Selaniku in Albanian, and Θεσσαλονίκη in greek (good luck to write it, plan enough space). Finally after 3hours an Albanian took me. (an other car stopped before and was going in Athens but that was not my goal)

  This seems like the perfect place to hitch east. The traffic is slow after the roundabout, there is lots of space to stop. There was shade from the sun. I tried everything. At one point, I was helping drivers get peage tickets that were coning out of the machine too high. Still noone wanted to take me. A lot of traffic was going south. 
  I shouldnhabe read the reviews that there's a country road going east so should have tried that. 

  Just as I was picking up my bags to walk somewhere else, a man picked me up and drove me where I was hoping to get to near valance!

  I had a sign for orange/lyon which matched the road sign.

  So... It's 2025 and we tried to hitchhike to Algeciras. This is the place where you usually get a ferry ticket. First we tried to enter the "export access" for trucks which is very close by but even a guy who works there told us that the driver needs the name of the passenger on his ticket so we didn't try more. Later we heard around 3 a few busses would arrive and maybe those we could have asked but in the end we just decided to not wait 3h and bought a ticket. I would have loved to try it somehow but my wife was lazy :D. Good luck for anyone who will try nowadays. I would love to know if someone will manage it!

  Perfect spot. You will find a huge mostly empty gas station with a lot of space for cars to stop and you will be visible to drivers. In the morning hours the traffic was low, almost no motorbikes at all, so it's easier for cars to stop here. As most cars pass slowly here, you can even hitch a truck. We got a direct truck ride to Huế in about 5 minutes.

  To get to this spot from the city, you must get bus number 06 (Vinh – Hà Tĩnh). It starts from Chợ ga Vinh (near the train station, google it), and passes through the city so that you might catch it in a different place, we got it around the Bến Thuỷ area. It goes all the way to Hà Tĩnh, but I suggest you get off at this intersection or directly at the gas station, otherwise, that would be difficult to get away from Hà Tĩnh.

  Towards Haapsalu, really nice spot, you can stay here or in the bus stop a bit further down the road, little traffic but I have always gotten literally 1st car to pick me up and get me to Haapsalu/Rohuküla, wait time 5 minutes

  Waited with "Kouvola" sign. About a fifth of the cars seemed to take the highway to the west (Kouvola/Mikkeli direction).
  Cars can stop at the bus stop and possibly by the ramp onto the highway. Got a ride to Porvoo (through Kouvola) eventually.

  We waited on a bus stop near a sign for hitchhiking. 
  The sign have multiple destinations on it. It's a bit small but an attentive driver might see it.

  Long speed up way but not much cars coming Tallinn direction from Palivere, usually need to get a car from the mainroad, however that takes a lot of time, 30-100 minutes, also the road doesnt get cleaned that long during wintertime so prepare for that

  Hitched from the signpost, with a pack and a dog. Got a ride within 3 minutes. Ride went a few towns out of their way and into the national forest to get me exactly to where i was going. Local bus will get you most of the way there from town.

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

  This whole island is super hitchhikeable, you can start from pretty much anywhere. You gotta be careful with the fact that many places are empty and that the frequency of cars is very low. But when you see a car you almost have the guarantee it will pick you up

  Ordu province -> Niksar -> Şarkışla -> Cappadocia. All drivers didn't recommend the Ünye -> Niksar road because, despite Maps shows it as a wider one, it's in bad conditions during winter. So we changed car 3 times, received a nuts bag in Korgan, got a comfy infrastructure truck to Niksar. He said don't go to Sorgun (Yozgat province) -> Nevşehir but keep on the Tokat->Şarkışla (Sivas province) -> Kayseri road, but avoid to hitch it at night because of the cold. 
  Above all, wonderful scenery!

  I'm a swiss girl and I tried on a monday morning all spots around to roundabout. At the end I waited around 3 hours. Finally I had luck and a mother with her 20 years old child took me. I never waited so long before and I think it's because the roundabout is very stressfull and there is not a good place to stop. There was one guy who tried it too and it was the same.

  Just like Melaine said, take the bus from Turin to Rivoli or Alpignano, then walk to the highway. Follow the gravel track "Via Valle" on 400 meters and then you will find a low fence easy to step over, enter the service station and ask people for a ride. I was lucky, the first driver I asked said yes so it was my fastest hitchhike ever. Do not stick your thumb up or wait with a sign, police will fine you.

  In theory it should be a good spot for heading towards west, you have traffic lights and decent traffic with low speeds, but  I guess the fact it's next to mental hospital or some hospital like that makes people not stop, waited here for 40 or so minutes before walked to another location

  I was dropped off here after asking for a short ride from somewhere around Mulhouse. A local guy advised me to ask on 2 nearby track parking places. There were some trucks, but I didn't see a driver so I randomly stood on this place (in front of hotel & restaurant house, just when you exit a small roundabout). I wanted to go towards Lyon. It was a middle of a hot summer day so one guy stopped in no time and took me all the way near to Avignon. Good luck!

  It was sunday around 3pm and the traffic was very low, but two Bosnian girls stopped and took us all the way to Doboj, even though they were going somewhere else, they rode 2hrs more just for us! The spot is good 👍 👌 you should stand before the gas station so the cars can stop there and take you. The only con is that 😉 there's no shadow

  Not a very good spot to get to krakow or kielece. Driver picked me up purely because he said it wasn’t a very good place to stop because cars are going in two different directions ahead of. He dropped me off to a better spot up the road , however no success at the drop off location either , ended up walking to the closest petrol station in the direction of krakow and asking someone there for a ride up the road just outside of Radom
