  Very good spot. A lot of space for the cars to pull over, and they go fairly slow. I needed to get to a village on the E6 close to Oppdal (Driva) and got a ride pretty quickly (20 mins).

  Rather small space only to stop as there is no shoulder at the onramp but cars can stop at the roundabout. Got a lift from there twice in a decent time. There are better spots down the road so having a 10/20km sign might be a good idea.

  Stoplight leading to onramp to highway. No place to pull over, but if you can talk to cars stopped at stoplight you can jump in quickly  before light turns green. 
  We convinced a car quickly. At first they said no, but since they had to stop at the light, we talked with them through the window and asked to get a ride at least to a gas station, and got a 40km ride towards west

  This is not a good place to head west, if you're heading towards Rennes, you'd better stop on the right of the town in the direction of Le Mans, if you're heading towards Angers, you can ask at the traffic lights if they can drop you off at the Jardins de Villandry service area 15km further on.

  This is the best spot for HH direction Bulgaria !!! It's not another spot better than this in my own opinion! But I hitchhiked on Sunday, very lonely gas station!!! No cars !!! No trucks !! The best way to HH is to have a sing with ***Pirot*** or ***Dimitrovdgra***
  HH to the border can be difficult!!! Because people is afraid about immigrants!! So, better if you look White person hahahaha I am from Colombia and I look very árabe sometimes, but still I am lucky.

  The best advice is to HH from the entrance of the gas station, because also you can catch the cars who is passing on the highway, because if you stay inside the gas station! * without traffic* you can be there for hours !!! 

  To arrive to this gas station you can take the bus Number 4 Ang get out 2 bus stops before the end. And then walk in the highway for 15 minutes and that is ! You will see, use Google maps ! Or just walk from the center if you are too backpacker.

  Probably good for North, but I was going South. I approached a lot of people in the Burger King and people were either locals, going North, disinterested, or even rude. I had better luck at the nearby gas station, which is just a short walk away.

  Good Spot. Easy to get a ride to the ferry or with a bit of Luck all the Way up to Haugesund or Bergen. Both times i hitchhiked from there i got a ride within 30-40 min. If you‘re coming from Stavanger it makes sense to take the Bus to out there.

  After crossing border by feet at night, nobody was giving a ride, because at night all the truck drivers are just going to sleep right after crossing border and they go nowhere.

  I slept here in hamak. But find more desolate place to sleep, because there are a lot of dogs around and two of them were barking at me non stop at night until I scared them with a flashlight.

  In the morning it was easy, a little traffic from border, but I asked a car driver near Motel in here to give me a ride to the next city after border.

  I was going south to Germany. It was already dark and thumbing did not work, trucks were going directly to the car park. As it was raining, I sneaked past the ramp, luckily there were no guards watching me. Then I was going from truck to truck asking drivers who were going to the ticket booth to pay. The most lovely Belarusian truck driver took me to Lübeck. Good spot, but can be risky if the guards see you.

  Not a good Spot. I got lucky with a woman, who was passionate about hitchhiking and excited to help. She took me somewhere not so helpfull (El Astillero). The Gasstation 10m away is also no good for traveling to Laredo or beyond. Lots of Local traffic. The day before I spent 2 hours in evening traffic asking many people there, but with no luck. If you speak spanish, it may be different.

  Okay so we we arrived at Gare du Lyon at in the evening, got some kebab and continued our journey north. We knew about this station from the hitch south. From gare the lion we took the train to fosses and than a connecting bus to survilliers. The public transport trip took about an hour and costs 7,50 pp. We think it's worth the effort, considering the fact that we had a tent to camp at the station. From survilliers it's about 30 minutes walking through the industrial areas, which was quite scetch in the dark with all the cars racing by. Once we got to the petrol station we found a hole in the fence to enter the station, which was unnessecairy since there was also just a walkway a bit further. There are some nice grassy bushes to camp a bit away from the people on the station. In the morning we started hitching at 9 and after an hour we got a ride from this cool Canadian band all the way to Utrecht. Shout-out to Cola™️ for putting us on the guest list, you guys are great.

  Okay I waited a long time, but I was trying to avoid paris as much as possible to head to britanny. It was on a Sunday morning, 7h to 9h, very few cars. My plans was to head to the station on the A10. Many people going to Paris of course. After 2h20min I got a ride to rennes and further ! noiiiice. Overall I would say that it's a decent station to avoid Paris. MY ADVICE: know your way and don't hesitate to refuse rides. It might sound challenging but it can be definitely worth it, you don't want to be stuck in Paris area.

  Hitchhiking to Chisinau, Moldova.
  Perfect spot to Moldova. Write 'Chisinau' to your sign and just wait here👍 I got a ride pretty close to the capital and the border crossing went easily: they just asked one question about declaration. I'm from Finland so I don't know if that has something to do with it. Actually one of my friends had a problem at the border and he recommended to book a hostel or have some proof that you're really staying in Moldova, so I did that just in case. Good luck to everyone.

  Almost no cars going to Germany. Here is how to we got to Germany: walk along the highway for 5 minutes (direction luxembourg) and exit the highway onto the first bridge that comes up. From there walk left and you will reach a train station that will take you to luxembourg for free. From there use your Deutschlandticket for the train to Koblenz.

  Amazing MOP for north direction, used a lot and most traffic goes serious long distance, a ride to Warszawa the least, you can ask around or thumb or use sign, I imagine everything would work here, wait times of 10-20 minutes expected

  We were dropped here on Tuesday 4pm and didn’t catch anything till Wednesday 3pm. Spot looks good but Austrian drivers are terrible for hitchhiking, everyone I spoke to was looking at me strangely and didn’t want to talk at all. The only way to get out of here are foreign drivers.

  Perfect place to leave from Skopje towards Greece. It is a bit tricky to get there with the Skopje local bus - only go from the Skopje central bus station, do NOT try other bus stops because it is a fucking chaos. If you get to the Petrovec toll gate, everybody is going the right direction and it is fairly easy to get a ride.

  We were dropped at the service door. The driver told us that we could ring at the door, say that we were hitch-hiking and they would open the door.
  We tried and were told it was forbidden to hitchhike on the highway.
  So we walked a little past the toll to get to the end of the fence and walked back on the other side until we reached the toilet spot. There a truck driver saw us and offered a ride back to Rennes. So nice!

  The doors were closed with padlocks but the jump over the gate is pretty easy. You can walk along the fence, but the field is much better as there is less vegetation growing.

  We sadly didn’t get picked up, but it was a sunday and we got there fairly late (18:30) we tried several directions, but most people seemed to go local? Not sure. Just one of those days.

  We were trying to reach the lake garda.

  I moved from the spot near the roundabout to the dashed lines in the middle of the road going west and the road going east. It felt like a dodgy place to stand but there was plenty of space for people to stop if they were willing to park illegally. Someone stopped soon - two musicians used to hitchhiking. They agreed it was the only place to hitch from that bit of road. 

  Would recommend going to another place to leave Toulouse!

  In and of itself probably a good spot for hitchhikers, seeing as many people going far on the highway stop here. However, be aware that there are very few other stops along the A38; if you end up at Querfurt and don’t find a ride to wherever you’re going, you’re going to be stranded. There is nothing within walking distance. I would also avoid going there at night. We were dropped off at 11 in the evening and didn’t end up catching a ride until early morning.

  Great spot to leave the valley heading south, I have started trips to Tucson from here. It is 5 miles south of the nearest bus stop, so requires a little walking or a ride, but worth it to catch the reservation traffic.

  From this place it took us (my wife and I) 15 minutes to get a local to take us south. It is a clearly laid out parking bay where the cars can park easily. The spot is also well visible from a small bakery and a supermarket and drivers have enough time to consider giving the lift.

  i reccomend to wait until you find the right lift, rather than do a bunch a km and get lost in this area
  the gas station is decent size, if you ask arpund you MIGHT find someone, i gave up quite quickly since at around 2.30PM there very few cars
  eventually took a bus for Igualada, that bus stop is just there. its quite expensive, almost 5€

  The gas station has the advantage to be accessible by foot in one hour from Burgos. However, it's quite small. I was there on a Sunday and there were not so many people. I preferred hitching at the entrance of the highway rather than the station to maximise the number of cars that could see me.

  friday morning, around 11AM, July, going towrds Berlin
  spent the night in my tent behind the station in a little patch of trees, very quite. loads of trucks and cars, i took me a bit to get a ride until the next gas station on A9
  i was hitchhiking at the entrance of the highway since there were not many cars stopping for petrol, mostly for food/toilets (at least at this time)
  a police car drove pass me and said nothing (its always my biggest fear)
  station is good. expensive, but there are toilets for truck drivers that are free and they have drinking water, so dont get fooled by the shops

  It was madness. Due to low level of water my ferry stopped at this steep gravel road. Buses and cars had quite difficult experience with going up to the road. People from the ferry climbed to road by foot and waited for their buses which were stuck at the river. Since I hadn't got organised transport with ferry guys, obviously I hoped for some opportunity to hitchhike. While everyone was waiting, suddenly one local car showed up from nearby village. I thumbed and of course he stopped and took me. Absolute chaotic.

  Nie polecam Góry Puławskiej jako miejsca do łapania autostopu w kierunku Radomia, stałem w sobotę od godziny 6:40. Na przystanku autobusowym obok remizy strażackiej (~60 minut) (100-200m na prawo od miejsca zaznaczonego na mapie), przy drodze obok zaznaczonego miejsca na mapie (~30 minut) oraz na przystanku w Klikawie (-60 minut). Po tym czasie udało mi się dojechać 10-15km do skrzyżowania na przejściu drogi krajowej i ekspresowej numer 12. Jedna obserwacja odnośnie tego miejsca i okolicy. Z każdym kolejnym miejscem w którym stałem był zauważalny spadek ruchu samochodowego. Wnioski są następujące, wszyscy wcześniej wjeżdżają na drogę ekspresową i nie jeżdżą starą drogą na Radom, a druga część jedzie do ich domów ustawionych wzdłuż drogi.

  Most traffic passing through is crossing the channel. The bus stop allows plenty of space for stopping and you are visible from far away.

  Be aware that the leftmost lane (where cars will be able to access you) is normally a truck lane.

  Locals I spoke to use this spot semi-regularly.

  When crossing, make sure to check with your driver that he/she can add an additional passenger to their ticket. If they booked directly with the ferry company then it shouldn't be an issue. If through an agency, that will be challenging. 

  Also, the UK government is currently rolling out Advance Passenger Information (API) where you'd need to submit personal info. When I went, the API was done when passing through passport controls, but some boat companies are talking about turning it into a pre-submitted form. Make sure you check with the ferry company for the latest info.

  On road to the 'Highway' leading south. The highway is not a nice hitchhiking road as it is a collector but also a highway, so you are well advised to try to get longer rides to somewhat bigger cities as standing on the highway is mostly not an option and in small towns there might be barely any traffic which might lead you stuck for a while. But a very good spot nevertheless.

  Legit less than a minute and a Ute pulled over and I jumped in the back. Not the most shade but probably the best spot going south from Hat Yai. (Also the two lads that were there on the same day I was, shoot me a message, the last guy I was with got a photo of you Insta@kjmurrag1230)

  Good spot, just after the roundabout and just before a bus stop area so cars are slow with plenty of room to stop. Plenty of cars will be going to Lidl or the suburbs but I had a wonderful lift who took me a few minutes out of his way to get me to Krka. I expect it to be easy to get to Krka from here all year round.

  Route 14 - Buenos Aires

  We were two and as we failed we decided to split and after that we find ride in 30-60 minute. 
  Be insist with your tumb to truck drivers. 
  If you are lucky you can find a ride to Capital but most of cars split after Zarate so if you stuck in Zarate intersection ask people for 194 Bus station which is 3500 Pesos. 

  As we experience waiting long time is common in Argentine.

  Heading south on the 6, we thought we'd try our luck for a while hitching from outside the church. There wasn't really much traffic at all and most signalled to us that they were turning left up to the glacier. Better off walking to the other side of the bridge and hitching after the glacier junction. 2/5 as it is definitely still possible to catch a ride going further south.

I was trying my luck here in the evening with a sign to Modena but the police patrol car saw me from the other side of the road and I was lucky enough they didn't notice the sign that I threw in the shadow right away.

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

  This place however was really bad, maybe because my sign was too precise and the people seeing it thought they couldn’t help me since they weren’t going there (tip: just write north or south if you want to hitchhike from here). Other than that I think this would normally be a good place to hitchhike out of Taipei

  Here you can hitchike onto the ferry to Bornholm. People pay per car not per person, so it does not cost them anything to bring you onto the ferry. It works best to ask the drivers, however keep an eye out for people working there as they sometimes have an issue with you not being registered on the ferry. Also keep in my the ferry leaves 12;30 at night.

  Great spot for hitchhiking towards Ostrava, there is a bus stop as well as a petrol station. Consider moving along so that there is enough space for the cars to pull over - there is a red light directly next to the bus stop. Can be good because the drivers see you, but when it's green light the cars pass by quite quickly.

  We were standing first close to the sign before the junktion that goes off from the main street. We were 2 people, it was Saturday around midday. Had a sign with Belgrade/toll station. Waited 2 hours. Then moved to the gas station. In general lots of traffic, mostly local cars\people, driving to the stupid outlet or IKEA. We tried to ask people for a lift to the toll station, but didn‘t work. Not much people at the gas station. After four hours we gave up.

  There is a ton of room for cars to pull off. A retaining wall partially blocks the view for some of the oncoming traffic, but they still have plenty of time and room to stop. I got picked up really quickly by a guy that ended up buying a bus ticket for me to portland, so I'd call it a win.

  There's a new highway here, they say it opened 2 months ago (?). İt is not the shortest way from Telavi to Lagodekhi but vehicles driving long distances somehow prefer to take it. Come here on your way to Lagodekhi or opposite way, to Tbilisi, Telavi, Tianeti. Don't wait in Tsnori, that's a big waste of time (i did for 1h30') unless you wanna meet some friendly locals who will see less and less tourists due to Azerbaijani one-way-only border crossing and this new highway.

  A priest picked me up while i was walking by the roundabout and took me straight to Lagodekhi protected area welcome center/ 5lari campsite.

  The path is now blocked by a locked gate, but it’s low and easy to chuck backpack and climb over. There appears to be somebody squatting on the property on the other side. You’ll have to climb another fence to get out to get to the petrol station. It’s chain link with one line of barbed wire, but decrepit and can climb.

  It was the worst hitchhike experience ever. People will never stop there, people mostly ignore you, many people just show you fuck, one guy even tried to spit on me through an open window. Demoralising experience. Ended up changing two spots further the road and eventually bought a flixbus ticket to Oslo. Leave this city ASAP

  Do not catch in this spot if you want to go to Trieste! We made this mistake and waited for an hour and a half until some friendly driver took us to a different spot. Many cars heading there actually go through Conegliano. Most people here go to Venice or Padua. Some people told us that it would be better for us to try to catch a ride on the other side of the road, but the pedestrian tunnel connecting the 2 stations was closed.

  its best to stand a little bit further away from the on ramp just behind the first overhead bridge where theres a small space on the shoulder for a driver to pull in. mostly local cars but also a few Graz plates. people driving by were a bit stern but if you smile and wave theyll act a bit more friendly and you might convince someone to pull in who wouldnt have otherwise.

  Good spot because a lot of traffic was at the start (5pm) but then dropped very fast (6pm). Was standing with a sign bulgaria/k.palanka. Maybe a bit far saying signs but there is no other place kinda to go there on that road. Also maybe i was not that lucky because i was trying kinda late in the evening. But eventually very nice truck driver who was paying a toll(stramge because all others had the autamic one) took me all the way to sofia.

  "Borrowed" some paper from McDonalds to make a sign to Paris and found a ride after adding some in-between stops (Mons, Charleroi) by standing at the zebra path near the roundabout. Lots of cars (mostly locals, but the quantity helps) going slowly to get into the busy roundabout. My ride didn't take me too far but every bit helps, right?

  It is not a good spot. The gas station is just before the junction of two highways and it is kind of messy to find out how to get there and if you can then get back on the highway. Thats why i think not many people stop there. I came in winter on a friday afternoon and there was no people taking gas and just one person in the restaurant. If you wanna go further north you should change at some other spot. If you wanna go to A4 towards Erfurt or Frankfurt you can walk to the rest area on A4. It is called Teufelstal and it is just 4km walk from here. You walk through a pretty nice forest and i think it is likely to be faster to walk there than to wait here.

  We got there a lift straight to Barcelona, seems to be a good place to reach Valencia as well. We standed on the bus stop, maybe 2 minutes from the gas station. Not so much traffic, many locals, but it should be possible. If someone going to Castalla, they can drop you there. Really quiet area, nice place to have your picnic or camping. Affordable prices in the gas station shop (for ex 6eggs for 1.65e). There is restaurant as well. Enjoy.

  Most people only go to Žiar nad Hronom, my tip would be to accept the ride and go to a bus stop before the highway. I tried for 6o minutes to get a direct ride to Nitra from here without a luck.

  A good option is to signal with a thumb or a sign at the exit of the gas station, there is a place for cars to stop. And if you see the car going to the gas station, moving there to ask them.

  I was told lots of people on the way from Regina to Winnipeg stop here at the A&W for coffee, especially commuters in the morning.

  Was too late for that, and I asked around at the Gas Station and got a ride east to Brandon there. Thumbing on the side of the road (Speed Limit 80, before the traffic light) didn't succeed.

  For the love of God, don't get stranded here! I had to wait for over 4 hours just to get a ride to the next gas station. Awful, awful experience. All spots around suck, since most cars drive locally to other parts of the city. 
  Only relatively good thing is that there's a huge mall here where you can buy food, charge your phone etc.
  By far the worst possible hitch hikkng spot I've had the chance to get stranded on. 
  Ended up begging some guys to drive for 10 minutes to the next gas station (15km away).

  Got very lucky at this spot. Didn’t even start raising my thumb, I was checking out the area and the speed of the cars first, and a man who was filling up his car with some gas saw with my backpack and directly asked me where I was going. I was going to Strasbourg and he left me in Haguenau, which is near. Looks like the people who are filling up gas are going into further directions, so it’s important to catch their attention and even go ask them directly.

  A guy and a girl without a sign on a Friday evening. Don't know about the other spots in the area, but this spot is really dangerous, try not to end up here if possible ! There is clearly no place for cars to stop and cars go too fast.
  We hitchhiked a bit down the road on an inserting lane and a guy took us to Håby, the next gas station, but we definitely apologised to him for making him stop there...

  Great spot, you’re on the main road, there’s a traffic light so cars will be slower, and there’s enough space for you to stand and be safe. Most people will probably go to Kaohsiung or pass it. Told you Taiwan is amazing to hitchhike

  On paper it looks like a good spot to go south because it is just before highway entrance. I struggled to get a car going on A10 on a Thursday morning in summer. There is a lot of taxis, delivery trucks, parisians. Finally, a bus stopped at the traffic light, it was going back to its bus center on N20 (road to Orleans). I decided to take it and found other cars after on N20 to go to Orleans and then catch the highway to Bordeaux. I was alone, with a sign and a small bag.

I could imagine this would be a good spot in the morning when people are going from Mürzzuschlag to Wien or Wiener Neustadt for work but it is still not the best, I would advise to stand before the roundabout where there is a bus stop.
  We, two guys with a sign to Wien, got a stop pretty quickly but were only driven to the neighbouring town from where we had to return back to Mürzzuschlag, because nothing is really there.

  Safe spot, lots of traffic, but mostly local. Also, cars are pulling into the bus stop all the time to unload or do whatever, blocking it for you. After 90 minutes a friendly local gave me a ride to after the bridge, and dropped me at the much better spot there. You would be much better off starting there.

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

  Really random spot but every random place in Taiwan is very hitchhikeable, and this spot really isn’t great for place to spot, visibility and probability that a car goes where you’re going but the willingness of Taiwanese to help you is greater than anything you can imagine. Got picked up by a motorcycle

  It has plenty of space and people see you easily. Got picked up pretty fast by leading engineer of one company from Vienna. We talked about IT and he liked my experience in GameDev and as Electronics Engineer. He invited me for a job interview to their company in July after my trip. Fingers crossed to that I would get this job after I'm back home :D

  Loads of traffic and big station. Was a bit hard to chose the right spot to stand as the station is big and cars take different lines.
  First stood at the Gasstation but missed many people going to the restaurant or Parking. Asked Truck drivers but most ejected me Immediately. In the end I went to the restaurant and just asked people there to take me. On a Friday Many Busses stop here so a bus driver took me he had to check with the shool class if they where fine taking me and they where. Even got offered a ride by somebody else from a Bus at the same time but smaller distance.

  To be honest, not really great spot. Hitch was not slow by any means, but gas station personal kicked me out, so I had to stand on the parking nearby. One tip to getting here from Brno. Get the train to Brno - Starý Lískovec, from there you must walk to Martina Ševčíka street and just before you cross under highway you need to climb up next to highway on the side of the gas station. The climb is kinda steep, but doable even with large backpack and dress shoes. You need to walk next to highway (BUT BEHIND THE RAILING, THERE IS QUITE A LOT OF SPACE), until you reach the gas station. 
  Take care, stay safe.

  There was very little traffic when I was there, so I waited about 45 minutes until I got a ride to Krakow. The spot is not ideal, since it's directly at the entrance to the highway but I think this is the only spot that makes sense. Cars from both directions can see you, so you can catch really everybody that goes that way. There is no extra place for a car to stop, but since to the low amount of traffic this was no problem when I was here.

  It looks like a great spot to find someone to Salzburg but it took me more than 3 hours to find someone who was going there. Most of the people I asked were going to Munich, not a lot of Austrian stop there, and we've been controled by the police after I was in the car cause it's next to the border. I think the oil is cheaper in Austria so you have probably more people who stop before crossing the border.

  Very frequent offers for lifts, but all heading in the wrong direction (apparently) up North - we were trying to head South. Standing on this point you can ask all the customers coming out the drive through with their windows down so easy to talk. to everyone. Eventually got a lift along the M25 from someone taking pity on us, while he was parked eating his lunch.

  Good spot, stood at the Busstop Nedre Bekkelaget and got a ride to Ås really quick. I guess you could also ask ppl stopping at the gasstation nearby if they wanna take you. Only thing i would do differently is maybe see if i can get a rider further down south since leaving Ås wasn‘t super easy.

You may have to wait a bit even in easter holidays, but there are many cars getting fuel or people eating burgers.

  Tried both the famous "truck stopping" that was empty at midday as well as the roundabout here, which is just not gonna work, high speeds, very uncomfortable, early april was snow/mud splattered across the side, just ended up taking a farmersroad to a better spot, here i doubt you can get a ride to south

  Many cars passing by with Slovenian or other southern licence plates. Wanted to go to Croatia and had a sign which said Ljubljana, got many reactions, but nobody was willing to take us. Later we chanced our sign to Slovenia. Waited really long in the sun, there is no place in the shade. Finally, a Croatian guy took us directly to Zagreb, a perfect place to hhike to the south.

There's a traffic light  and also some place to stop for cars, but most of the people just drove by without stopping, it was hard since many are not going out of town. Still, after 3h I got lucky and found a man that took me 4 hours South and I had no stress, so it was fine :)

Most of the traffic after At Bashy is trucks heading to the Torugart pass.

Have to target traffic coming round the roundabout as those from the close exit would have used the slip road (from M25 N).

  Really good spot towards Brno direction. Got hitch almost immediately. Only thing is, getting here could take long time. But If you take bus to station Újezd u Průhonic, it is just short walk. (There is a bridge over highway)

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

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

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

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

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

  Maybe you could try to bypass the toll and speak to people when they are waiting in front of the ferry. But I didn't try that.

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

Eventually another one to kristiansund stopped and took me over the bridge to the better spot at the rest area. For kristiansund this is great, for trondheim maybe the rest area is better, you can walk over the bridge.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  I got dropped off in this city. I found this as an only available place to hitchhike. It's not that good as cars drive really fast and there's a little space to stop. After 40 minutes of waiting I was just about to give up, when a nice guy stopped. I would suggest you going a bit further the road, there's some kind of bus stop where cars can easily stop

  I found the road to be a much better spot than the airport for going south. Good visibility and plenty of room to stop. Every person you could have asked at the airport will go past you here. Lots of local traffic and short rides.

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

  Took me two hours to find someone to go in the direction of Liège. To be fair, it was a bad time, Mid-November on a weekday when it was super foggy, but most people were just going to Aachen or North to the Netherlands or Antwerp. So if you wanna go there, it's a good spot, I guess. However the person who took me was super nice and even made a small detour for me.

  For traveling north to Montpelier,  i wouldn't suggest this. Took almost 2 hours. Cars are slow when exiting the peage but then speed up rapidly to cross into their preferred lane, and as the northbound side is on the left, it's difficult for them to stop. Got a trucker ignore all the mess behind him who picked me up,  luckily.

Most of the cars accelerate before the highway so I reckon that many find it hard to stop. Never tried the gas station nearby but it might be a better option.

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

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

  Bad spot to stand, good flow of cars tho, maybe I was unlucky. But theres two gasstations where you could ask the people (i'm not a fan of that).

  Decent for going to Rødby. If you want a lift that goes all the way across the ferry, it might be worth it to try here instead of in Rødby since you can’t hitchhike close to the ferry

  Two guys hitchhiking to München. We got a lift to Regensburg (north of München). We were picked up after a while by a nice lady heading to Austria. We stood by the on-ramp to the autobahn. It’s not a perfect place for the drivers to pick you up, as they can easily block traffic, but if there’s a will there’s a way.

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

  On s'est mis ici suite aux différents avis de la carte, et bah on aura pas eu autant de chance...
  On s'est fait refouler par tous les chauffeurs routiers de la station , il y en a beaucoup et dispersés partout sur l'aire. La plupart allaient à Tarragone , Valencia ou pas très loin de Barcelone.
  Les voitures n'allaient pas très loin non plus. On est tombés sur un mec qui allait à Gibraltar mais qui n'avait pas de places dans son camping-car , la poisse...
  Globalement on alternait tour des camions / tour des voitures / pouce à la sortie de l'aire. Un russe s'est arrêté et nous a emmené d'une seule traite à Valencia.
  On visait Saragosse , Madrid ou Burgos;  le spot semble pas trop mal pour bouger autour de Barcelone, mais c'est possible de tomber sur la pépite qui peut vous emmener loin !
  5h30 d'attente.

  Was trying to get a lift towards Selfoss or Reykjavik was hopeless as cars were approaching too fast to possibly stop and cars turning out from Skogarfoss were totally uninterested in stopping. Had to give up when it started getting dark and thus dangerous to be stood by the side of the road. Had to camp the night at Skogafoss. Would not reccomend this spot.

  Long time walking but I didn't hitchhike directly because I'm not really comfortable to hitchhike when there is a lot of houses and people everywhere. A woman living in the road just give me a lift for 1 or 2km to help me 😊. If you're confortable with people and urban area it's a good spot ( lot of shops, shadow...)

  We were trying to catch a ride in direction to Oristano, to Sassari or Nuoro. We caught a ride to Nuoro after like 30 minutes. High traffic, but lots of locals, most cars weren't going to the highway. But its next to pedestrian's crossing, so cars go a bit slower, there's space for car to stop too and you're quite visible

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

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

  Not a perfect spot. But the only one if someone let you there and you want to go North to Goteborg. People comming from both side, some are comming from the highway to the gasstation and then back on the highway. Another plan could be to go on the gas station ask for a ride (but lot of people dont go on the highway). Few trucs also.

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

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