  If you are taking a ferry to Frederikshavn, I strongly recommend that you start approaching people table-by-table in the ferry and explain your situation in a relaxed way. You have very good chances of finding rides, in any direction.

  Wonderful mountain road from Ttujur to Berd. A truck carrying pillars took me to his workplace then 2 men to Berd, offering to show me the fortress and ending up gifting a Holy Bible.

  bad spot, cars there are going in multiple directions (A5-> Frankfurt, A7 north and south and A4 east), so its less propable to find someone driving in the right direction, especially if you're coming from Frankfurt.

  Arrived here with one friend at 8pm trying to get a ride to Zaragoza. There are a lot of truck drivers but almost all of them stay here for a while to sleep and visit the local strip club. This gas station shuts at 10pm so barely any traffic after that hour. Eventually had to spend a night sleeping in an abandoned house behind the station because the hostel was booked out. Luckily, next morning got a ride from a truck driver almost directly into Zaragoza. There are also people going to Barcelona and Madrid from here. You need to be friendly, pro-active and ask around. Otherwise you can be stuck here for a while.

  As previously noted, not amazing but probably the best spot to go south. We asked around at the gas station for a little while with little success. Many people were just staying in the area or even going north. Eventually it's while standing by the roundabout that a car stopped for us, they were going straight to Stockholm.

  Wonderful view, calm border with almost only trucks. Came from Kars, got a truck ride in Çildir, walked to the gas station where the tir parking guys do speak Turkish + Georgian so they can help you. Only 3 cars in a hour so better to ask truck drivers! Got a ride by a tractor carrying hay they took me to collect more hay uphill and showed me the first village, while a fourth car of dutch tourists filmed us from behind.

  REMINDER * if you go to Tbilisi, trucks drive the Akhaltsikhe-Borjomi-Kashuri way as the Tsalka route is not allowed to them. So you can first go to Ninontsminda and then hitch to Tbilisi or Armenia.

  Btw the view is priceless and makes you wanna stay for hours

  Insanely lucky, asked around at the gas station for a ride to Avesta, tested my luck at a busstop. First truck driver pulled over, drove me to the highway intersection with lots of traffik towards Västerås and Avesta. Although this (bus)stop isn't great for Avesta, I think it's quite promising with traffik going from Uppsala to other destinations.

  Ok spot to go to PARIS or RENNES
  This spot is quite special because people who take the toll can go east or west, there is a carpool area next to it to ask directly if you are in trouble.
  If you're going to Paris, it's best to persuade someone who opens their window at the toll to drop you off at the Aire de La Sarthe-Sargé Le Mans (10min motorway).
  Info: I'm a young man of 23.

  Kadjaran is a small town that everyone crosses on the way from Kapan to Meghri, Iran and opposite. If you are going north, find a car going to Kapan and take the bus number 5 to the eastern end of the city, where the road intersection goes left to Yerevan. I had a young guy offering me coffee, taking me to the next village, waiting with me for the Kadjaran-Kapan bus and then finding a friend of his to drive me there.

  Perhaps, it was my bad luck but I waited 30 minutes or more and then decided to walk to the ferry on foot. About at the half of the way I was eventually picked by a car going to ferry too. Tbh the traffic is pretty awful (about a car/2 mins) and most of them are full of people. P.S. perhaps someone will find this useful: the price for the ferry (09/23) is 4,3€ per person.

  You should NOT hitchhike here. First there is always heavy traffic on this road and the cars have very little space to stop so it is dangerous.

  Second: car at this spot goes to very different directions. Some will take the highway, some will go to north some to east.

  It is an extremely inpractial spot. You should go couple hundred meters to east either to the highway intersection (if you'll go towards Budapest or Debrecen) or to over the big roundabout under the bridge.

  Honestly I have no idea why people would use this spot.

  The best spot to go east to Ljubljana, Budapest or northeast towards Wien. Asking truck drivers directly is the best strategy for one person I think. The 5th driver I asked in person was going directly to Northern Hungary which is where I needed to go.

I did not remember meeting her before, but she was super cool, & works at a dispo. Many cars passed me on Ave C & Hickory before she walked up- sometimes the ride isn't even on wheels yet.

  Waited for a while, it's a nice spot for the direction koper or novo mesto, but sadly we didn't get a ride. probably because it was saturday and not much traffic, 2 cars stopt one was going in the wrong direction and the other didn't have enough space for 2 people, so we checked bus prises and gave up, good luck to the next ones who try the spot :)

  I really don't understand how this works... I was thumbing around different parking lots, asking different people, all unsuccessful. In the end I was asked to move and they told me I can only be around the ticket office. Most of the people already have tickets so they do not come by the office, but if they do come to buy the tickets - this is your time to ask if you could jump on (extra passengers do not cost extra, you pay per vehicle, but you do need to be signed on to be in the vehicle when you buy the tickets orsth). I waited for a long time until someone agreed to get me on their minibuss only to later ask me 50£! I told him I am not paying this since he never mentioned this and also I do not cause him any extra money or inconvenience, he got really crossed with me and in the end I had to pay the money - so be wary! Make sure they understand you will not pay for this little 'escort' service to the ferry!
  Unsuccessful for me, but definately doable. The ticket office is also open 24/7 so you can camp there when it has been an unsuccessful evening catching a ride.

I was trying to go towards Trier and got a ride from an Irish guy on British license plates who said he would take me there but when we started riding he said some story about being robbed and asked if I could take out money with my card for him and that he would transfer me the money, after I showed him I had just 20€ on my account he left me at central station in Luxembourg City and said he'll go to the bank and come back later. Waited half an hour, he never came back so I decided to move on.

There were a pot of people from Germany that went to Norimberk. After those 70 minutes we went infront of the benzina entrance and asked drivers personally. After 20 minutes we found a couple that went through Norimberk and they were kind enough to drop us off at the south of Norimberk. Lot of cars, good spot, Keep smilin!!

  The door was not open, but you can follow the wall/fence until it ends, climb down a small hill towards the autoroute and then jump the (second, smaller) fence. Sounds more complicated than it ended up being, the fence is even a little bent down and there's trees to help. Lots of local cars but I still found people going through Lille to Mons within 15 minutes. Would definitely recommend this spot to get out of Paris to the North.

  This is not the actual location of the border posts - the Chilean control is several kilometers west, and the Argentine one is about 15km east. I didn't actually hitchhike here (my ride from Rio Grande took me all the way through), but the border officials on both sides have no problem with you telling them you're hitchhiking. As of 2025 there's theoretically a hotel near each border post, in case you get stranded and have money.

  So we where headed to Montpellier (through Vitrolles) and we found out that is not the right spot for this direction. Unless you are very lucky. This guy took us and told that there was another roundabout at the opposite direction better for Montpellier. A lot of people go to Marseille from there tho.

  Not a great spot, mostly local traffic. Some hungarian plates but no one stopped. Some local driver as (3 guys) to the border. Try going by bus to Šebastovce and catch there.

  Towards Keila-Joa, pretty uncomfy spot, but due to the build of the road drivers slow down here and since you are basically in the middle of nowhere, they are more likely to help, very low traffic, wait times of 20-60 minutes expected, try to aim the cars to the Rannasüdame bus stop

  A very good spot. I wasn't standing at the exit of petro station, but by the road joining the highway (close to the bridge). There was enough shoulder for cars to stop. If you moved passed the bridge, maybe the cars from the main highway could stop for you. I didn't do it, coz were I was standing it was illegal enough.
  Cars go slowly and you'd be visible nicely.
  In 15 minutes 3 cars stopped for me. The first two were going very short distances without good spots, so I thanked them. And I jumped into the 3rd one which was going far enough.

  If you find yourself in Franciacorta outlet this is gonna be one of the few stops to get out. From here it's easier to catch a ride to Brescia although still possibile to go to Iseo. Some people on the roundabout aren't taking the exit so no point in trying to signal them. There's a conad, a gym and a gas station nearby so it's possible to go asking around if someone's headed where you're going. Easier to get out with a sign.

  Good stop for going south. We were two people and waited 5- 10 min. Also there is enough space for parking, if the car is not to fast. Works a bit better for this direction there than at the péage (no payment - more cars )

  I waited there 5min on thursday and friday evening (6pm), I had a sign for the toll station (Péage St Arnoult) and got a lift for Limours-Janvry gas station. From there you can get everywhere West easily (Bordeaux, Le Mans, Rennes, Nantes etc). Everyone leaving Paris for west is going through this road.

  ended up here after walking i-70 for a little bit, concerned mom got us snacks and drove us what we were gonna walk. got on the onramp and waited a bit before an older man offered to take us to limon. trucker on a day off, seemed to be headed back home from an errand. truly just a day of dumb luck, onramp wasnt very busy, most people would have stopped in bennett for gas

  Tried a route to Oświęcim that isn't going through the highway. A huge amount of traffic, but most of them were locals. There is a wide roadside for cars to pull over and a store nearby. 

  We (two guys) waited here for over 1.5h until we got a ride that took us 1/3 of the way through, where we managed to get a direct ride pretty quickly.

  Doesn't seem like too good of a spot though.

  Hitchhiked the Pamir Highway. It's very possible but slow and cold (early october). It took me only 5 days from Sary-Tash to Dushanbe. I didn't do much sightseeing/detours etc. Some locals and some European overlanders. After Murghab plenty of trucks from China driving to Dushanbe but they drive ~20km/h because how bad the roads are. Don't expect to make much progress in a day. Plenty of guesthouses even in small villages, iOverlander offline map is handy for that^^

  Went to this on ramp late, hitching south, but still bright out. There is a TA and airport right next to it but not as much traffic as you'd expect. Plenty of room to pull over and time to see you, but I was at that spot for almost 2 hours and didn't have anyone stop. Tried again the next morning for an hour but experienced even less traffic. You'll have better luck flying directly at the TA's. The cops won't mess with you here though, had multiple drive past without saying anything, and one even ask where I was headed (presumable to give me a ride).

  not a lot of space for cars to stop but it should b! possible on the grass. we were two male passing ppl and didn't get a ride after 30 mins, tried a little bit further down the road where there's a better spot to pull over but the cars are going faster, but no luck either. gave up after one hour.

  I started earlier in the morning, but didn't get a ride until 10am. I was lucky to meet a couple with a van that took me really far, all the way to France. I was asking people in front of the gas station.

  Be aware that the store closes at night and opens at 7 or 8 in the morning.

  The spot is really bad for wild camping, in the fields nearby there are tons of rabbits.

  Run away. This spot sucks. We wanted to get to Fulda/Kassel or just Autobahn 7 but nobody stoped. People who definately went there, they were just pretending they dont and LKW drivers slept there, so they didnt give us ride. There are just locals, who are going there for Mc or just shopping. They were smiling but we felt just like bunnies. Dont let happen that you stuck there for hitchhiking. We went back to Schweinfurt with young german local, who was pitty about us.

  My heart wasn't really in this one. It was late enough to know I wasn't going to reach Andorra by nightfall, but I thought I'd give it a quick go before heading into the little restaurant for dinner, and setting up camp for the night.

  The spot is a big straight road with excellent visibility, featuring a big, long gravel car park that goes straight up to the road with no barriers, so it's incredibly easy to pull over.

  I set a fifteen-minute timer, that's all I wanted to wait. Lo and behold, as soon as my timer rang, a car pulled over. I was picked up by Martina, an older lady who was apparently a DJ back in the 90s, and now organises country music camper van meetups in the Pyrenees!
  She took me to La Seu D'Urgell; in retrospect, I shouldn't have taken this ride. I should have camped, as the only accommodation still open in town by the time we got there was way over what I was hoping to pay, for a truly awful, filthy room.
  Oh, well… you live and learn.

  I was told this was the best spot to try and get out of the town. Sounded kind of dumb and might have been. The trucks do not go through the down, but rather down and along a backroad and rejoin towards Kerinci (sus my later points) which is probably why I was dropped here. It might be smarter (if possible) to get to the east side of the city and hope for a car or ute to take you to Kerinci, then try and get a car from there. I found most people were just confused and wanted to take me to the bus station. Ended up getting moved down the road by a bike

  Arriving from Budapest, we got dropped off by a truck just before the border. The border police was not amused about our attempt to walk across the border and our following intention of hitching after the controls to get to Timisoara. They told us to ask the Flixbus that was parked there, and the Flixbus picked us up and took us to Timisoara. I think the border police would also have been okay for us to ask the cars queuing for the passport check. So it's a dodgy spot, but for us it turned out well.

  small petrol station outside Marbella. not the best spot for long distance, more local traffic. I'd recomend staying on the autopista if possible, but I slept here unbothered and found a ride to Malaga after a couple of hours in the morning.

  70 km/h area, headed towards Tallinn, it's decent but may take up to hour to get a ride, for a plus it has a hut in bus  stop so good for rainy days, as well as hitchhikable at dark (which cant be said that much about the stop on the other direction)

  Lots of traffic due to a 2cv citroen car festival. It meant a lot of the traffic was local but there were also cars going further. I was picked up by a smart car. My first time in a smart car - they're bigger than you think!

  This place worked for me both times I tried to exit Bordeaux. Not that much space to stop, but there's isn't much traffic and since it's after the roundabout cars are not that fast, and they can see you from afar and stop for you. Most likely all cars entering here will at least pass by the gas station just ahead to get further rides to Spain, so you can accept a ride at least until there

  Złapany koło godziny 12
  Lepiej stanąć koło cmentarza przy pasie do skrętu w prawo na stację, wtedy łatwiej kierowc y będą widzieć i będą moi zjechać na symtację

  12, o'click direct from Cracow to Wrocław.
  Better to stay close to cementary so that drivers will be able to See You and turn right to Pick You up

  Bus stop - sign probably necessary. Possibility for the cars to stop without problems. I got a ride out to the first service station heading north fairly quick in January 2023. The motorway ahead goes both way so probably possible to get south as well.

  We were walking this road because we had previously tried to catch a hitchhiking from the airport (it is very difficult to do it - no one wants to stop) so we wanted to walk to the entrance to the A4 road near the city of Fischamend when suddenly a lady stopped near us and asked if we were going towards Budapest and if we wanted to go with her because she was going to Gyor. He must see the box with the inscription "Budapest" that we had attached to the backpack. In general, it seems to us that when entering the A4 road, catching a hitchhiking should go smoothly - we were just very lucky

A polish guy said he will get me on the ferry but he has to wait two hours before he can enter. I tried two hours to get a direct ride to Copenhagen but failed. So I crossed with him.

  On-ramp that works okay enough, was little traffic at 10 am on a Wednesday, which probably was a benefit. There is a breakdown lane where the cars can stop, and it's decent enough for being an onramp.  Got a car to Königsforst Raststätte after fifteen minutes.

  Okay, so this one is a bit tricky. We took the train to Settebagni and tried to cross the bridge to the other side of the Highway, but there are currently construction works so we couldn’t go that way. 

  Our way:
  Go to the Southeast of Settebagni, to a street called „Via S. Quirico D‘Orcia“. From there you go onto the field and walk straight in the direction of the gas station. There is a stripe of trees but you can bypass it from the right. Now you should see a cellphone tower in front of you. If you go along the fence on the left side of the tower there should be a damaged part in the fence where you can jump over really easily. Behind that part of the fence is a small path that leads directly to the gas station. Its a bit steep and covered with blackberries so watch out for thorns. Arrived at the gas station there is a big gate on the left that leads to a tunnel which connects both gas station. You have to jump over it. Even though it is a big gate there a holes to put your feet in so it’s really easy. Follow the path under the tunnel and voila you reached the gas station which leads out of Rome.

  There is good amount of traffic at the gas station and after 20min we got a lift to Perugia.

  I arrived here by bus, because the highway were under construction at Hohenzollern and Berlin-Westend. As I said I want to Hamburg beforehand, a older man told me that this place would be better than those closer to the center of Berlin. After a while I had to realize that this wasn't the best choice, because the cars accelerace fast and have no real option to stop especcially due to the no-stopping-area coming after 500m. At first I just tried it by thumb but after some time I found a piece of paper laying in bush which I used as a sign. A young pair stopped after some time and took me to the Stolper rest stop even though they wanted to go to Berlin Spandau. We talked about the Youtube series called "The Race" which was the reason why they stopped.

  A good place if you want to go towards Italy, France and Germany or the Czech Republic. We were heading towards Budapest and we had some difficulties to find someone who was driving in that direction. But a lot can depend on what time you hitchhiking. On the plus side, a lot of trucks and quite a lot of passenger car traffic at the gas station. A good place to stop/accommodate. There is a shower, laundry, hostel.

  Got dropped off at the train station 10 min walk from here. This is a rather good place because it’s parallel to the big road leading south, so people driving there might stop here to eat first. Found a direct hitch to Hengchun even though it was 7-8 pm

  If you travel by approaching drivers at fuel stations, this is the place. If you're using only thumbs on the roadside and trying to go north (as I was), stand across the "circunvalacion" (bypass road) from the fuel station, where traffic from both southwest and northeast is funneled into the northward route. This was where I got the most reactions (and eventually a ride), even with the sun at my back. And if you're not using the fuel station to approach drivers, consider accepting a ride that just goes to the rotunda (roundabout) at the north end of town. If you're trying to get to Rio Gallegos, start in the morning - I spent a whole afternoon here and was only able to get to the other side of town. Most drivers start early because it's a long drive, especially in the winter when daylight is short and road conditions can be bad.

  Got a ride here after standing next to the highway for an hour. Just look for Norwegian licenseplates at the gasstation and McDonalds. I even asked everyone inside McDonalds because I saw 2 emtpy norwegian cars outside and was desperate ahaha. Happy to get out of Kungälv

  Close to the trainstation and next to a main road. It's a good frequented place but mainly commuters stopped here, why it was a bit difficult to find a ride.

  We crossed from Georgia to Russia on a Monday morning in July 2024, then back on a Sunday afternoon. Some things for hitchhikers to note:
  -It can be cold and rainy even in summer, be prepared.
  -Line of cars were backed up on both sides all the way to the borders. It's very far from one border to another, but the traffic was so bad that it was faster to walk. For the love of all that's holy, if the traffic is backed up all the way to customs, WALK!!!! You are SO lucky, you're the only person who is not tied to waiting for a car. On the return trip we stupidly decided to stay with our ride and we spent over 9 hours in the line. Just get out and walk, please.
  -We'd heard you couldn't cross the border walking, but nobody stopped us on the Georgian side. You just need a car to cross customs on the Russian side, after that, say thanks to your ride, and get out and walk.. 
  -There are two tunnels. At the first tunnel we got in a car going to Vladikavkaz, but ended up sitting in line for hours, we should have walked.
  -We ended up getting out and walking after a while, but were stopped within sight of the Russian checkpoint, so we got in another car at the front of the line. Probably saved an hour or two by just getting out and walking ten minutes.
  -If you choose to walk the tunnels, wear a facemask, the pollution inside is quite heavy, but you can cross in 15 minutes or so, so it's doable. Ideally have a flashlight too, as tunnels are quite dim, and there are a lot of broken bottles on the ground. Make sure to walk on the right of traffic against tunnel wall,NOT in the middle, as cheaters cut the line and zoom around very recklessly.
  -Go to the bathroom BEFORE you cross. There are portapoties on the bridge, but they have poop piled up since the time of the tsars.
  -Exchange any money you need before crossing. In Russia, foreign bank cards don't work, and you can only exchange money at banks for very bad rates.

  Despite the wait time we felt this was a good spot and we were just unlucky. We had a good number of offers but all were heading anti-clockwise on M25, we wanted to go clockwise. Best bet here is to just wait at the entrance to the petrol and ask everyone as they fill up. Lots of van drivers going round the M25. Eventually got a lift over the dartford crossing.

  I was feeling tired at the end of a long day on the road, and this spot was exactly what I needed! It was getting late, I arrived around 19:20, but the cool mountain air gave me a new boost of energy to push for Andorra before nightfall.

  This turned into one of my favourite hitchhiking spots of all time. Thanks to an incredibly lucky combination of attributes, you get to thumb a busy road, and a busy supermarket car park exit at the same time, all with ample space to do it.
  In the end, I got a ride from Maria, a Spanish lady picking up supermarket sushi to take home to her husband. She left me at a roadside restaurant, which would be a lovely place to camp…

  Luckily I just passed through with a ride I already had, but it could be a bad place to get stuck overnight in the winter, with sub-freezing temperatures and no public facilities (there are a few houses nearby, in an emergency). Remember that if you're headed south, both the ferry and the later border crossings close later at night (9 or 10).

  Very good spot for getting out of Dunedin to Queenstown. Take a local bus to Caversham shops. From there walk south along South St, just before you get to the motorway lights cross the road and walk on the right hand side of Caversham Place (a small dead end street with residental houses on one side). Just before the end of the street walk accross the grass to the right to get to the motorway and walk a little way up the motorway about 20m to where there is an extra lane. The extra lane 30 metres further is for cars to turn into Burnett st a little further up but it is hardly ever used

  Two guys hitchhiking south to Italy. Most cars stop to eat or get fuel, but many are cars already full (travellers heading south or north. It took (probably more than) 2 hours to get a lift and we had been running around asking people and used a sign. In the end we got lucky though, but most travellers were already full cars (although they were mostly long-distance-travellers).

  Got picked up on the third round of traffic lights on Oak. Not a perfect spot, but like many local rides near UNT, there are many students willing to pick you up on the way home or to school. I got a ride from an Indian couple from Telangana and they offered to take me all the way past the interstate, where they were headed home. There's a little area for a car to pull in near where I hitched, but they just stayed in the street.

  No maybe once good. Now basically impossible and highly risky. 
  1. Illegal. After zone of highway start. Police is fully legible to disturb you.
  2. Two lanes but the most used lane where 90% of traffic come is right lane, and exactly in this position they change to the right, signalling, and not have time to see you or pull to the side. 
  3. Just local traffic. Sign to Brno, for hour, saw only around 4-5 cars with B registration plates. 95% traffic Praha+suburban. No international 

  Overall bad spot, now not recommended, maybe quick way to get to small neighbourhood if dropped on station. Would suggest going further

  Big wide bus stop right in front of hospital, great for cars to pull over. Two cars stopped in the first 10 minutes, but were only going a few hundred meters, so may be a good place to get out of the city at least. A few cars slowed down to stare at us, then sped back up again. After almost an hour someone took us to our destination 20 min down the road.
  Apparently Ballymena has a bad reputation and people dont like people from there, so do your best to look as foreign and exotic as possible.

  On a Saturday afternoon, this gas station was rather empty. Weekend travellers are mostly families taking long breaks, so you might find yourself standing for quite a while. 
  Cars towards Linz, Salzburg, Germany and Belgium.

  Consider taking a car that takes you to a bigger raststation such as St. Pölten.

  But I felt invisible there, like people were ignoring me standing here and also sunset hits drivers eyes hard so it's double hard for them to see you. I stood there for some time and then went to a gas station near high way which was a lot more better

  Ha ha ha, what should I say, guys? Last time I wrote that this spot is not convenient, and the next time after 20 mins wait (around 7.45 pm) a car from the main road pulled over. The car was going to Trondheim, my final destination. 
  Maybe I was lucky that day. But as an experienced hitch-hiker I would technically avoid this spot. I suggest Elverum roundabout which is more convenient and all the traffic is the same.

  A good looking spot. A bus stop, cars going downhill.
  I was standing there for over 1,5 hours. 3 cars stopped offering me a ride to the next town (5 kms). But it looks there was not a good spot so I skipped the rides. 
  In the end I moved to the next bus stop, a few hundred metres west. And there I had more luck.

  Not so many cars, but pretty much everyone is going in the direction you want to go, so sooner or later someone will take you. We stood at the very end, where all the little roads joined the onramp. Two cars in one day asked for payment, like blablacar. After about 20 min a Polish man who didnt speak English picked us up to Konin.

  New favorite spot to leave Paris going to anywhere around Rouen, Caen, Mont Saint-Michel, Le Havre, etc... Red light just before the highway entrance with cars having to get passed Morainvilliers gas station on the highway. I tried twice and always got taken on the first try to the gas station. From here just follow gas stations on the highway on your path. Never had to wait more than 10 minutes usually making a stop at Bosgouet gas station right after Rouen to reach further in Normandie or even Saint Malo.
  Really easy to reach by foot, take the train to Poissy then bus 12 and walk.

  While there is (decent) room for cars to stop, terrible spot to go towards Bordeaux or Bayonne. While it clearly allowed to go toward these cities, no one was actually using this exit to go there so there was very little traffic for us to get a lift. Little did we know that we would probably have been luckier on the previous exit closer to Tonnay (33). Don't get dropped that far and prefer highway entrances closer to Tonnay/Rochefort ;)

  Departure spot mainly to north (Fundao, Covilha) and you can also be offered Lisbon as destination, despite indications to it being on the entrance by the other side of the bridge and a more suitable way starts in Castelo Branco Sul (southern highway entrance). After 30 minutes they offered me Lisbon, then i had to wait one more hour to Alcains where a dutch expat dropped me towards the countryside. In case you get stuck in the afternoon you can opt for provincial buses to north by "Quinta da danca" stop 10 minutes away (walk Espanha direction then get down the bridge).

  This is a surprisingly nice spot for something before the border. An open road with ample space to pull into the roadside car park. Lots of French traffic too since a lot of people go to El Pas De La Casa to for cigarettes and alcohol, then turn round and go home.
  The bus here from Andorra la Vella is deceptively long, and surprisingly more expensive than the other routes; so in my case, getting here from La Massana was a proper headache. Andorra's public transport really is nothing to write home about!

  After a short walk and a talk with a very confused supermarket security guard, I was picked up by a mother and daughter from Ukraine, who took me to L'Hospitalet. Sadly, I never got their names…

  This time i entered Iran from Esendere the first time was in Gürbulak. We were two and snow was on the roadsides. We stopped some taxis and that's totally normal. They don't want you to stand in the cold. One of them passed 3 times within 20 minutes, so he finally decided to give us a free ride to the police checkpoint and intersection to Urmia. From there, after a minute a man took us to Urmia and gave us 3$ in toman to pay for 2 bus tickets to Tabriz, he didn't accept anything in change. We had a stunning sunset over Urmia lake, which takes 30 minutes to cross 🌅

  There is an ok place to pullover here and decent traffic, but it was very frustrating. I tried signs saying Tokyo, mt Fuji and gotemba, but people often gave the bs hand gestures saying they where going short distance, even though all cars where going in a useful direction and a short ride would have taken me out of the middle of knowhere and back to civilisation. They don't seem to understand the concept of a partial ride. Fujiyoshida would probably be a better thing to write on your sign, from there there is a good hitch spot to Tokyo.

  Eventually got a ride to fujiyoshida with a nice elderly gentleman who was cool. He didn't entirely understand what Google translate was which made conversation a Challenge.

  The road is actually paved til here nowadays, but very uncomfy for cars to stop here, if you have any cars, I'd say there was a car in every 15-30 minutes, but just keep walking along the road, no good spots anywhere here

  There’s a gas station where you can get car rides with luck. On ramp to motorway there isn’t any places for cars to stop so this better place. For truck rides you have to go other side of motorway.

  It seemed like most people were from the area and not going very far. I waited by the exit with a sign and didn't directly approach people so maybe that was why. However it's good as people in cars can see your sign in time and have space to park.

  Pokazywali z jadą na miejsce tutaj. Ostatecznie złapaliśmy (f i m) podwózkę na stację benzynową/McDonald koło Trzebnicy.
  Tam przez otwartą furtkę na teren MOP

  Mainly local résidents are driving here and are less likely to pick some hitchhikers.

  We were given a ride to closes pertol station not through S5 Road but some local Road. Then we entered the terrain of MOP Using opened gate for pedestrians.

  Cars going to Caen, Rennes, Nantes but quite fast because either they come out from a short underpass or they speed out of a roundabout. There is some space for them to stop, but since the ones coming out of the underpass would have to cross the other cars I find it a bit risky for them. I got taken by a hitchhiker after 30 minutes wait and hilding a sign to Rennes, because he said it's an unconvenient spot and he was going to Nantes.

  Plenty of Truck and Car Traffic. There is another station across the road. The station is marked as 24/7 however the interior closes around 10. At the end of the Parkingspace there is a small hill where one could camp. Otherwise there are benches outside of the station as well but they are very small, uncomfortable and cannot be moved. Staff also doesn't speak any English and doesn't like to communicate via translator so don't expect any help here.

  We haven’t even finished writing our sign, just randomly waved to some guys. They took us directly to La Jonquera. Seems to be fantastic spot. It is very easy to get there, just use public transportation. We took n23 bus and paid 2,65e for a single ticket. Don’t listen to google maps, you can get to the station by crossing under the bridge. Use satellite from your google maps. Signs saying that camping is forbidden there, but we pitched our tent without any problems. Police even saw us in the morning with a tent. But be careful, maybe we were lucky. We don’t know if it’s safe place or not.

  This is a difficult spot to hitchike from: 

  1) the traffic is moving very fast. 
  2) for cars to see you, you have to stand on the highway and try to signal for them to enter the service area. 
  3) when we were there, very few cars came into the service area. 
  4) it isn't easy to leave the service area. It's an easy place to get stuck with nowhere to go. The nearest alternative spots on the highway are 15-20km away. 

  Me and my hitchhiking friend decided to walk across the fields to the small towns nearby. From there we hitchiked to Ston and took a bus to Dubrovnik for e6.60. 

  Maybe on a busier day with more cars in the service area you will have better luck!

  I waited like 6hours
  90% we’re renting cars and were going back to the airport. People weren’t nice, very few smile. However no problem from employees.
  Also all the trucks were going off the highway in the nexts exits or many to Austria but no towards Trieste.
  I finally booked a BlaBlaCar to Trieste

  We were three coloured and entertaining souls who met in Leon on the way to Chaves Portugal. We walked from the center, shopped at Lidl which opens 9am, waited almost 2 hours with a sign "Benavente".
  Drivers smiled and waved a lot. Police came by the parallel street and warned "you can't stay here, walk back before the roundabout". After 3 minutes a young guy picked us up and drove us much much much out of his way to Puebla de Sanabria, where PB gas station and restaurant 24/7 is saving us from the rain. He said Benavente is not a place to be stuck in.

  This place is probably your best chance to leave Zagreb in direction of Hungary. We waited for  1 hour, but eventually one guy stopped and took us to Varaždin. That's where you should aim with your sign - there is a gas station there to try from.
  The stickers from hitchhikers are not there anymore. But it's funny because you're hitchiking directly from under the no autostop sign. Croatians are mostly picking up hitchhikers, but it all depends on the time of day and your direction.

  help pls. spot in direction of Hail. The only good about it is that there's a bridge where you can hide from sun and where some truck drivers hide to cool their vehicles.

  Most of the cars are local traffic, delivering hay to local farms. Truck drivers go to Hail, but all of them are afraid to pick you up, because they think:
  a) You're illegally in country
  b) You have drugs with you
  c) That you don't speak Arabic

  I waited almost two hours for at least someone to stop and then had to prove to driver that my meds are not drugs, my camera has no illegal recordings and show my passport and visas, because they were paranoid about spontaneous police control.

  After that I had 4 hours of sex talks, it was uncomfortable, but as they mentioned, it is normal in Arab culture to talk about sex and porn, and they were just curious about how it is in Europe.

  But hey, at least I got to Hail, right?

  The mood in Osoyoos felt pretty hostile. This place is definitely not what it used to be. I ended up taking the bus to Penticton

  They've installed a curb along this section of the road, so there isn't a great place for folks to pull off until the next intersection.

  If you're going north from here you might be better off taking the bus. BC Transit runs from here to Penticton a few times a day during week days.

  It's a highway and there's a whole unused line for cars to stop. Traffic is going surprisingly slow and drivers can easily see you. Got a ride to Montenegro direction in less than 10 minutes.

  Technically hitchhiking on the highway is illegal, but come on, who cares about rules in Serbia?

  Nous arrivons depuis Split et allons à Mostar
  Deux personnes (homme et femme)
  Désposés à la station de bus par notre ride depuis la frontière. Avons marché jusqu'ici pour trouver ce spot. Malgré le peu de temps attendu, on est pas sûrs que ce soit un bon spot. Quartier plutôt résidentiel. On a eu de la chance.

  the station in good, a decent amount of cars
  quite a lot of locals...i was going in direction of caceres and on thursday afternoon (from 3PM ) it took me 3h to find a loft to xanadu, a big shopping centre near by (the guy told me was better from there, and after 3h i just took it)
  there, in my opinion, was worse, cus being on the other side of the A5, everyone was going towards madrid
  i also tried at the roundabout but with no luck
  so i went back here, slept on a tent behind the station (its pretty chill), and next morning, after 1h (10-11AM), i found a lift to the station at the 88km, with a restaurant that seems better
  lets see

  We got a lift to Prague an hour after being dropped here on a Sunday. Talking to drivers or truckers is necessary, there was at least 11 when we passed through. Traffic driving by  is going too fast so unless they're already pulling over to the truck stop you wont have luck signing them to slow. Would avoid getting dropped here in future though, felt like we got lucky after an hour and could have been there all night.

  A wide shoulder for standing but not too much space for cars to stop, for the cars turning south to S19. I was here at the evening and asked for Krasnik, however even though a car stopped like every 10 minutes they always went off at the next exit (Strzeszkowice Duze), after like 7 offers to there but no cars going any long distance i just called it a quits for the evening, might be better luck or for short rides seems like an ideal spot, for longer rides you might need to wait 90+ minutes, otherwise 10 minutes for a short ride

  Tried to get from here to Belgium as I've heard of people being stranded further down at Folkestone/Dover. Am aware that channel crossings are challenging so I won't let my ambitious targets hurt the rating of this spot.

  Was offered a ride once every hour but none of them were to Belgium or even across the channel.

  5 hours in I decided any car that could take me further along the M20 would work, and got a ride to Dover 5 minutes later.

  I put an extra pin here as this spot worked much better than the spot near the gas station. Cars are forced to slow down, they have time to access you, and you can sit on the rocks to put yourself on the same eye level as them.

  got a 45 mins walk and found this spot looking at my MapsMe map. During 20 minutes 2 cars stopped - the 1st one was going to Linkoping, the next one to Angelholm, my direction south.
  The spot is alright, possible to stay there, enough space to pull over, but some cars are going fast, but still alright in my opinion.

  A small gas station with not a lot of traffic and many people don't go far. Nonetheless, there are some tourists on this route and we (2) ended up finding a ride within 30 minutes or so to Murcia (could have gone further to Cartagena and continued the next day with them to Málaga).
  In the end we decided to visit Málaga and take a BlaBlaCar from there.
  The A7 is challenging to hitch-hike, because there are very very few service stations. If there are any, they are often off the highway. Had we not found a ride straight to Murcia, I think we might have been stuck there.
  However, if you want to go further (Granada, Málaga), try to find a ride that takes you at least to Granada. This will be hard to find, but probably worth it.

  It is possible to reach the Vashlovani protected areas near the border if you ask or catch some tourists' cars, they receive authorization at the Reserve's head office here in Dedoplis Tskaro - you can also ask for a ride and cook a meal there. So if you plan to go into the natural reserve you should register, while Kasritskali, El Dar, Kvemo Kedi, Sabatlo do not require registration.
  Actually, i only hitchhiked locals to Kvemo Kedi and Kasritskali, where a lady hosting travellers took me home.

  Much better spot than the one further to the East. Unlike the other spot, the parking lots are never blocked due to a zone of "absolutes Halteverbot". That makes it much easier for drivers to stop.
  Also, drivers are less likely to be blocked by truck traffic on the right lane, and the can change lanes more easily and safely.
  Sign is highly recommended, as traffic can go north and south on the A5.
  Look for a ride that takes you at least to the next service station on the highway.

  Little rest stop with bathrooms. Not many cars stopping, so we chose to stay in the entrance with an Oslo sign. Pretty soon a truck driver stopped and took us past Oslo. Four stars because they do go quite fast, and almost nobody stope in the rest stop. But even with rain and bad weather we got lucky.

  Tough place, cars drive too fast and it is not pleasant to stay here. Since there are traffic lights, this is no highway and you are allowed to hitch hike here, but police doesnt like it and you dont want the discussion. 
  At the end it always works to go from here to Nijmegen. 
  If you walk 500 meters direction Nijmegen (direction Arnhem soccer stadium) you do something that is not dangerous but illegale. Here you may find a place to repair your car or whatever, Some kind of refuge, easier to stop and safe to stop. I do prefer this over the roundabout…. On the other hand, the bridge on the roundabout is great for hitch hiking in the train

  The spot is similar at the one after but is under the bridge(better in

I wanted to take a bus(501) for the plaza big stores center(best spot so far for madrid) but it never pass, I also think is not cheap. I was ready to leave this spot and walk 2 hours for Plaza but a pakistan pick me up and dropped me there. Very lucky. Maybe you are luckier than me and go Madrid directly or can wait a lot.

There are enough place for the cars to stop, you can hitchhike before the no autostop sign so its not illegal to do it here. The other entrance to the highway in Rimini is now under construction so probably its the best spot to hitchhike up to the highway for both direction.

  Pretty much the same as what people mentioned at the spot in the centre of Kęty. The road leading out of town towards Kraków seems like a good place to hitch, with plenty of space to stop and a decent traffic flow. Reality check: I waited around 40 minutes to finally hitch a truck (by showing the begging hands) going a bit closer to Kraków. Seems strange! The truck driver 'Don Mateusz' was awesome, even though he couldn't speak English.

  Tough one if going towards Macedonia. After 5min had a ride offer to Thessaloniki, unfortunately declined, just to wait almost 4 hours (started 5:55 AM) for the next car to stop that went along the ring road of Thessaloniki, where there was a better spot towards Macedonia. Some tourists, but very low traffic in the early morning hours. Great sleep on the restaurant sofas though.

  Ok, this was not great spot south, if you are heading south I would discourage you from going here, but it was kinda nice spot towards Belgium. Be aware a lot of migrants are lurking around after dark, we had two of them jump on top of our truck and drove them to Belgium (they were not happy about that and banged on our roof).  It was definitely one of my crazier stories, but it was kinda fun. Just to be aware of that. (Normally I would sleep around here, but I would never sleep in this place, it was not safe, therefore I went back north to Belgium)

  Bus stop. Big pull over area but just around corner from roundabout. Not perfect but after 20 mins someone pulled over (but going wrong way), 15 later another one did who took me west to the sandy lighthouse thing!. There is a sign saying no pedestrians just beyond the bus stop, so you can't hitch further along the road. Busstop was quiet do no audience. Denmark, so of course everyone speaks english

  We stood just before the highway, behind the guard rail. Big sign saying no stopping / hitching. But... A car stopped before police we saw any police.
  There are tunnels to get around the roundabout without playing Frogger in the road.
  Hitch towards limmasol / larnaca / lefkosia (Nicosia)

  The roundabout is hard for someone to stop in. They could, maybe, but it'd be dangerous and no one seemed to stop there. Also, not great luck at the gas station 6min walk from there.
  If all else fails, there is a bus stop about 5min walk from the gas station with intercity busses going every hour or so. Between 4-8 euro, depending on which city.

  We needed to get to Germany. Most of the cars were Italians, a few Switz cars as well. After 2 hours, we changed our "Germany" sign for "Como" (the town just before the Switz borders) and got a ride in 20 minutes to a petrol station in front of Como.

  That's my experience. However, two friends who started hitchhiking right after we got the ride and used the same signs got stuck at the petrol station for 7 hours with no lift anywhere north towards the A9 highway. 

  Overall, I would say it's a good place theoretically, but Italians simply won't take you. If you need to go north, hitch towards Como and stop at the petrol station just in front of Como. There all the cars go north and it's easier to catch a ride there. There's way more Switz. French and German cars there.

So we decided to ask Truckdrivers and the second one could take as almost until Girona after his break from 9hours so we waited there inside the autogrill and tried to sleep and watched Netflix. Before 3am we started driving. But normally the Trucks aren't allowed to take people because they only have 2 seats most of the time.

  Ĉi tiu loko estas absolute mirinda. Mi alvenis ĉi tien ĉirkaŭ la oka vespere. Jam estis mallume. Tie estas lampfosto, kiu ne funkcias. Eĉ sen ia lumo, aŭtoj pasas tiel malrapide, ke ili havas sufiĉe da tempo por vidi vin. Mi metis min super la finon de la triangulo, meze de la vojo, fronte al tiu, kiun mi volis, kaj metis malgrandan lanternon por igi min iom pli videbla, krom uzi la reflektajn ŝtofojn, kiujn mi ricevis en "tramprennen" por mi kaj Daniela Loti.

  Tri ciganaj fratoj prenis min duonvoje kaj lasis min ĉe la fervoja stacio en Ĉerven Brjag por atingi la lastan trajnon, supozeble je la 11a vespere. Sed tio estis la 3:30a matene. Mi iris al la benzinstacio malantaŭe, faris multajn amikojn, kaj ili prenis min dormi ĉe la monumento de la Soveta Virino. Perfekta loko por pasigi nokton.

  We wanted to get a ride to Germany and it was Sunday morning. There is some place for the cars to stop. However it’s not so clear how many passing by there go to Germany or mainly to some places close by (as the cars going towards Germany may be already on the highway). Still, it worked for us and was all in all probably faster than going to the gas station towards Germany ( see hitchwiki).

  Ĉi tio estis la plej amuza. La teamo Maljunulino kaj la Kato (la gajninto) haltis al ni en aŭto, kiun ili jam petveturis, kaj poste, kiam ni estis vundeblaj metante niajn dorsosakojn en la aŭton, la TBA-teamo ankaŭ haltis tre rapide kaj atakis nian flagon, kiel veraj piratoj, bedaŭrinde por ni.

  Came here to go south, waited 30 min. A woman came bye walking and said thats nonsense, no one is going south. "Look in google where it leads you if you want to go south." Yeah she was right. Pointed me to a gas station south of the main train station, good spot.

  Apart from that probably a good spot for other directions, plenty of space to stop. You have to stand on the bicycle lane though.

  The ferry itself. Be extra freindly and respectful after you climb over the railing to ask cars as they drive onto the ferry. Lots of local traffic, so be prepared for short rides.

  Very little traffic, tried to hitchhike in Ladeplads but feels like cars didn't want to stop inside the town limits, but as I got here got a car to Vindbyholt, expected wait time of 20-60 minutes

  Would be a good spot as the cars are slowed down by traffic lights and can see you from enough distance. But nobody stopped for me. I swung a sign with A94. 
  Maybe going to other direction is better but it didn't work out for me. I relocated further down the road and had success after some time.

  There is a little shop. The lady in the shop seemed to have met hitchhikers here before, as she approached us with chairs, question in google translate "do you want to travel with no payment?", and also offered us a cardboard to make a sign. Just because it's right after the turn from Skun it makes it more difficult for cars that are going from Phnom Penh direction to stop. Anyway, you can chill there, get some cold drink, and wait for your ride to Siem Reap.

  Je marchais le long des platanes napoléonien sur  cette belle route, et fus pris par un couple de kanaks, lui militaire, qui se dévièrent pour m'emmener jusqu'à ma destination au village de Saint Mont. 

  I was walking along the Napoleonian Plane trees, on the beautiful gascon road, was picked up by neo-caledonians of kanak origin, him a paratrooper. They made a detour to take me to my destination village of Saint Mont. There I went up to the castle thohrough the back door and met this nice guy working in the kitchen

  Easy spot to Tsalejikha and other towns direction Martvili, but you will get asked for money, even by cars who are not showing their taxi badge. There's a cheap blue city bus n.4 going 10km away, check schedule on Yandex Maps. So after 30 minutes i realized i was looking too elegant, started acting funny i got a ride in 5 minutes. Again i had to put boundaries when these 2 young guys invited me to stay for the night then tried to invite themselves to the restaurant where i was about to use the money that the previous 2 hitchdrivers gave me (10+10, what a coincidence). After them, 3 more people invited me home, ended up drinkin wine in Mikava and sleeping in Didi Tchkoni

  The third car took me
  The space to stop is the wrong side of the road but, makes it funny, and there is a lot of space, moreover cars are going slowly .
  I was taken not far, but where i wanted to, and there, there is a petrol station to hichhack further if you want

  Direction Tallinn, even tho the speeds ain't that fast here, it's very uncomfortable for cars to stop here, try to just walk a bit further along the road, here you'd wait for 2 hours for a car

  Got a ride in 5 minutes, we were really lucky. Spot is not ideal, not really any room for the car to pull over near you but the intersection of cars makes them go slower.

  So, I got dropped right in front of this bridge. I would say that the best tactic here is to cross border on feet and have a sign of where you want to go(In my case it was Beograd) and approach every car, as the line on the border gets pretty long.

  In my case no one agreed, so I stood with the sign right after the border control and was feeling desperate because it was already dark, when the guys from the border saved me. They told me they were just hesitating to take me right before the border control, but after it they pick me up and took all the way to Belgrade. Total legends. One of them, named Igor even hosted me for a night at his place! Very good experience

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

  We stood there longer than what I expected, considering the great visibility, enough place for cars to stop, next to a 7/11. Me and my friend eventually got picked up by this car that was already way too full

  Waited here for 60 minutes around noon on a workday and only found a very short ride (15 km or so) with a delivery driver. Very few people go onto the highway from here.
  I'd recommend going straight to Ii with the bus (zones A-C) and hitchhiking from there.

  Cannot recommend. Almost no cars coming. 4 cars in one hour. Also very difficult to get here by foot. 

  Had to ask multiple  driver, if someone could drive me to the closest Lidl for getting to Burgas, before it got dark.

  Stood there with a sign, it seems like a good place to get on the motorway.
  A lot traffic, not too fast and space to pull over at the gas station.
  Still took us a lot time to get a ride and then only to get stuck at the next spot a few km further.

  Direction of west, bit of an awkward spot, bus station on top of a hill, speeds are high, mostly locals on the roads south and north, gas station had only local cars. Got a car within 30 minutes, but I feel like I was a bit lucky
