  I agree this is a strategic spot if someone takes you from Stepantsminda, a truck going to Yerevan took me after Ananuri where i continued east towards Sighnaghi

  Decent spot, a lot of people are locals, but I got a ride 50km south on the E4 relatively quickly. Standing on the side of the road works since cars are slow coming from the roundabout and they have some space to pull over, even if its not too much.

  When i was dropped off by the Mallorcans i was initially nervous, it didnt look like much, but this seemingly empty (albeit very pretty) view point is a surprisingly excellent spot!
  You can stand under one of palm trees, behind the barrier before the exit from the view point, be in perfect view of the drivers and in the shade; functionally hitching directly off of the road! I got a ride in under five minutes from a fantastic Catalan man called Juan-Ramon, who took me all the way to Barcelona! 
  My aim for the day was Tarragona, so being able to make it all the way to Barcelona was absolutely amazing!
  In Barcelona i would meet a Greek girl and we would take the train together to Montserrat for El Dia De San Joan..
  To Be Continued...

  Not an optimal spot if you are trying to go south. Good trafic but most of it local i guess. Aso right before a roundabout. Asked a driver with a swedish license plate who pulled in to get gas but he was going north.  I finally got picked up by a girl wo had some spare time and drove me to the border bc she wanted to, she was not going there . Otherwise i guess i would have stood there quite a bit longer. Maybe the on-ramp to the highway would have worked better.

  It's completely empty. There's almost no way to get here if you're not a driver(I had to cross the river with my shoes off and than climb over the protection fence with a huge backback). But I had no other choice as I was completely stuck in this area. Nobody is stopping there, but at least I could sleep on the bench there. After that some nice Ukrainian truck driver woke me up and asked where am I heading to. He gave me a direct ride to Wrocław, I just got really really lucky

  I rate it 5 stars, but the police that sent me away probably give it 0.
  Definitely not unsafe as they suggested. But I obeyed and moved to the bus stop at the  gas station. Crossing the roundabout was probably more dangerous than staying at the exit though...

  So just make the most of it until the police come.

  About crossing the Mongolian border: There is a long line of waiting cars. I went up to them and asked if I could join them. Got rejected by two kazakh cars. They often travel with the whole family to visit relatives in Mongolia, so they may have no space to take you. Better ask cars with russian plates. I found two belarussian travelers who would take me. Even as a westerner without speaking much russian it should be doable to find a lift, if you're lucky you may find travelers from western countries. At the border, no problem as a hitchhiker, you are allowed to travel in another car, just the usual checks and a bit of patience needed...

  After an all too brief visit to Barcelona, I decided to begin my journey north, back towards my home. The original plan was to follow the coast, but being right in the middle of one of Spain's worst heatwaves in years, I decided north to Andorra would be a wiser (and prettier) option. I took the train with a Greek girl I met to Montserrat, where she promised a cable car, a very scenic train, and a monastery, how could I say no! After arriving, she told me she was staying that night in the monastery, and I decided to accompany her to help translate since she didn't speak any Spanish. This lead to a fantastic lunch with the monks and priests amongst the Dia De San Joan celebrations!

  Upon leaving, the bridge seemed like the most logical place to try to stop traffic. However, after an hour of shouted remarks from the patrons of the café across the road, and plenty of middle fingers from passing cars, my patience was starting to ware thin… After a quick beer to recharge, a refill of my water bottle, and another half hour wait, I got a lift from a very loud Spanish man up the motorway a little ways. Despite my pleas to drop me at a service station, he insisted in dropping me in his terrible hometown, Sallent… 

  If you choose to hitch from here, I'd still say the bridge is the best option going, and the train to the monastery is probably one of the most scenic options for getting out of Barcelona. However for your own sanity, definitely do not leave the motorway, get yourself dropped at a service station!

  Avoid getting dropped in Weed if you can. This town doesn't live up to it's namesake. 
  The locals aren't likely to offer a ride and most through traffic is going up hwy 97. You're still in for a long wait, but this ramp is slightly more likely to see through traffic than the other one.

  Amazing spot, picked up immidiately by some Liechtensteiners. Unfortunately this great spot was wasted on a crappy ride, We wanted to go to Zug/Lucerne and they were headed to Zürich so they only drove us like 5 minutes down the highway before dropping us off at a worse spot. They were kinda hippies and I think they just wanted to pick us up cause they thought it would be fun. Word of advice: if it’s not the ride it’s not the ride, and don’t trust Liechtensteiners they’re a bit strange

To get there I walked from Dubrovnik old town, there is an old road between the sea and main road. Quite long uphill walk, but views are amazing and spot for hitchhiking is worth it also.

  Technically this is a perfect spot, enough space for cars to stop,  the direction is clear and they can easily see you. Maybe I was just unlucky or it was the wrong time of the day,  but I had to wait over 3 hours.. Got a lift to kielce in the end though

  It's a gas station, so you have to ask people. We tried hitchhiking for 1 hour and then we asked some czech people (we're also czech) to take us and they were also going to lake Balaton. We got beer and they eventually stayed in the same camp as we did so it was a lot of fun. I always hesitate to ask people but it's usually fruitful, so don't be afraid! the worst that can happen is that they say no and you will never see them again.

  Not a very good spot and very illegal but enough space for cars to pull over and take you. Take the bus to Mondeville and just jump the fence behind the Cinema. You can also sleep between the trees then just hitchhike in the morning, we had a tent and had no problems.

  It looks as good spot to try to hitchhike someone, but it is not. Everyone goes on vacation, so they have got full car or goes only to Maribor. We tried it there for like 6 hours with sign "Ljubljana", but nobody stopped. Good thing about it is a Field behind the gas station for a night in a tent. It is better to ask people then Wait. And maybe ask people with the same nationality. :)

  IMPORTANT:
  This is a good spot for hitchhiking towards Copenhagen, but not a good spot if you are going from Copenhagen. If you are be sure to get a ride from the ferry to the city - otherwise its an hour walk and not good for hitchhiking. to hitch towards Copenhagen, be sure to be there 45 min. before depature, and you are almost garanteed a ride.

  In no time I got ride to medyka border crossing however my driver told me that if I will wait for his wife to cross border I will be able to get to lviv with his wife's friend so I did it. However at the Ukrainian side I found out that she doesn't have a car and we ended up hitchhiking together to lviv itself or more exactly she ask someone near the border and he took us. If I knew that I would probably cross the border just after coming to medyka and then hitchhike to lviv by myself but in the end I got to lviv and it was something totally knew to me

  Hitchhiking in Jordan is in general super easy if you are a European tourist, everybody wants to help you and you never wait more than 10 minutes no matter where you are, carefull though because many times people expect you to give them money for the ride, so you have to make clear from the beginning that you are hitchhiking, we went directly from Aqaba to Wadi Rum which is a very popular destination

  There is a really nice camping spot 30 minutes from here. Walk across the bridge, and hop the fence at the gasstation on the other side of the highway.

  This seems like the best spot for going south out of Duluth. There are plenty of cars taking that ramp and there is space for them to pull over. I took the city bus from the north side of Duluth near Brighton Beach to about 3 blocks from here. I could imagine it taking a lot longer than 25 minutes to get a ride because in my experience, the hitchhiking between the Twin Cities and Duluth can be difficult at times.

  This is an amazing gas station for:
  Murcia, elche, alicante and almansa!

  There’s a big gas station and big parking area with a few restaurants.
  I got here and found a truck for elche in no time. There’s a considerable amount of people coming and leaving.

  The only trucks that will go to valencia from here are trucks that had to unload in a place nearby before so it’s less common.
  To get to valencia, this isn’t so good as you might think, because the main highway for valencia is up north.
  You can try your luck hitching from here to valencia, or you can hitch a ride from here to 12km AFTER almansa where you have the *most amazing* service station in which you can get a lot of rides to valencia and even to Barcelona.

  We had been waiting there for 3-4 hours. Lot of trucks stands there for a night. It should be easy to catch them,  but for 2 people its hard. Many morrocan drivers. We had a cardboard saying „hacia francia” and one employee told us that we are loco  xD. Then we changed it to „hącia Granada” and some crazy guys stopped on the highway without reading our paper. When you are solo - easy, comparing to other spanish stations. 


  Shop in the gas stations is quite expensive (like 2,5e for a 1,5l bottle of water) and tap water is not drinkable. Better to make supplies before.
  We heard also about free showers for drivers, maybe its possible to manage it for poor hitchhiker!

  After 5 minutes, police came by the other side of the road (toll exit), set up their checkpoint and waved me to leave, pointing at the roundabout. In fact, there's no parking here and stopping is forbidden. As I moved to its opposite side (yellow indications to Spain) a guy at the lower boulangerie parking invited me to join him to Hendaye. You can be luckier than me and wait longer at pinpoint to get a ride to Spain. However, don't come here if you're in Biarritz already. Go to Bayonne toll or next ones southwards.

  One male 40+, with a sign "VILNIUS" , one big and one small backpacks, dry but cloudy day. Going to Vilnius.
  A very good space. A bus stop, with enough space even for a truck, just after the entrance/exit to a petrol station. 8:45 in the morning. A perfect traffic, a car every 20-30 seconds. I barely started hitchhiking and a car stopped and took me to Bauska, where after 15 minutes I got another ride, all the way to Vilnius.
  The only problem with this place is getting there. Before, from Riga, there is a highway, plus it's 20 kms from the centre. So no chance to walk there. I got a ride from my friend. But I guess there must be a bus from Riga, stopping there.

  Technically good spot, because you stay in pedestrian zone, at bus stop. Drivers have a comfort place to stop. But drivers think it's not necessary to take you, bus will grab you, that's what they think. But drivers who really want to take you – definitely will. I didn't catch nobody, so I took a BOSS.

  Nice spot by the historic railway bridge and the big carrot. Plenty of space, slow enough traffic. Found a lift heading south on Route 1 from here after about 15 minutes. "North" or "South" sign recommended here if you want to catch a lift going further on the 1.

  A random guy stopped for us even before we started hitchhiking, and took us to Beli Manastir. Not the best spot, since there is no really place to stop, but it will do the job. If you want to go from Osijek to HU, I recommend this road, insted of the highway, since there are toll gates, and for this short distance not worth for the locals to use that.

  It isn't the best spot for pulling over, but flying right under the No pedestrian sign, there is a parking lot people can pull into. Decent amount of traffic, though id say most people passing by are not headed east.

  Police don't let you HH where the cars and trucks lanes merge and ask you to go to the Shell petrol station where a lot of people wander around.
  Choose your lane regarding traffic and try to HH before the mosque so they don't see you, it should work better.
  In general a sign to Edirne to get out of the border asap is a good strategy.

  This spot is recomended on HitchWiki for rides south from Sundsvall. I´d say it is really bad spot. I got here only because my driver from Bräcke had his destination here. So I took a chance. Friday evening. Nobody going south stops here. No point for drivers heading south to turn to this gas station as it is located in opposite direction. So I thumbed with a sing next to the road where a crossroad is. Very dangerous spot! Speed limit 80km/h, almost no space for pulling over. Good visibility at least. However I got a ride to Gävle in just 5min :D crazy  girl took me. But never again.

  This isn't the perfect spot, but if you're stuck out here in Melissa, then it's probably your best bet. I find that the type of person that stops at Buccie's, isn't the type of person that stops for hitchhikers. 

  That said, people that live in Melissa are even less likely to stop for you. I got picked up by a California transplant, that does a lot of backpacking. He was a really cool guy. He was on his way out to Texoma lake to test out some new gear.

  If your driver goes to the city, if it's possible, ask him to drop you off here, big gas station and restaurant, you are visiable and there is a spot to pick you up. The only porblem is, al lot of people with are not going to give you a ride, will stop here. So my advice, make some hand signals to make sure, they stop here for you

  We decided to try here after trying the parking lot spot with little luck for a while. The idea was to be visible to all vehicles, even those not planning on stopping at the station, since the traffic was low. It worked; a couple saw us, felt bad, and actually entered the petrol station through the exit!! And we got really lucky and got a ride all the way to Innsbruck!

  The spot was ok. A little scary to be out near the lanes like this, and some people gave us dirty looks, but all in all pretty good. If traffic is higher, this spot might feel less safe, and the parking lot spot is probably preferable.

  We used a pretty big sign with "AU" on it. Since cars not planning to stop go pretty fast, using few, big letters is probably advisable, so they can read it from afar.

  This looks like the best spot heading west. There’s a crosswalk about 100 m up the road and this spot is at a bus stop so there’s a place for cars to pull over. The road is generally pretty narrow and I checked the other spots but there’s not really a place where cars can pull over. I had 2 cars stop in 20 minutes, one going north and the other west. There’s a good amount of traffic going through here (was here at 8am on a Monday). Got a ride to Medias.

I went south and asked two groups if they can get me to the first gasstation around 18 km (54°22'57.3"N 11°05'37.9"E) and the second group agreed after a little bit of talking it turned out they go all the way to Hamburg so that was nice ;). When we went past the gas station I saw a lot of people from the ferry getting gas so I think it’s a good spot and it should be easier to get there when asking around on the ferry because it’s just a few minutes away and a lot the people on the ferry will pass this station.

  From here you will certainly arrive (i did it a lot of times) in la Haye Fouassiere or Vallet, at the entry of the national road, witch are better spots than here but still it is not really good.
  If you are lucky you may arrive in Cholet, but sorry, Cholet is the worst city to hitchhack, i now few people who've got their worst record of time waiting there (me too before it was beaten in Portugal)

  If you want to go by the car train up the hill than you need to stop a car (no pedestrians allowed). The train rides between 20 minutes to an hour (google it). What is nice - you don’t have to pay for the passangers inside the car, just for the car itself (so it’s free for you) :)

  This is a great spot for hitchhiking! My original plan was to hitchhike to Kaiserslautern via Nuremberg. After just five minutes, a car stopped, but I turned it down since it was only a very short-distance ride. Twenty minutes later, I got lucky with an 80 km ride to Augsburg, which I gladly accepted and decided to adjust my route for the day.

  This spot is also excellent for night hitchhiking from Munich.

  Only one parking lot feeds into here as far as I can tell. That's fine if you wanna go to Oslo, since many cars go there. For going north this may be a problem. There is a speed bump, so cars have to go slower. And it is below a bridge, so you're safe from the rain. 
  I tried for 10min on a saturday evening in August, 1900. The norwegian public holidays ended this weekend. 
  I found the frequency somewhat low. So I only tried for ten minutes and then left.

  Avoid hitchhiking near the checkpoint. Another guy and I were kicked out, and they even called the police. Even though we were standing at the end of the motorway—which technically wasn’t a motorway—they forced us to buy ferry tickets.
  Don’t accept a ride to Rødby unless the car is actually going to Germany.
  I recently sent a complaint to Scandlines, but it didn’t help. From now on, I’ll either avoid their ferries or hitchhike more strategically.

  We hitch-hiked here because somebody was going to Saulkrasti from Riga and offered to drop us there. I was a bit sceptical at first but we ended up finding a ride pretty quickly after asking around for about 10 minutes.
  The next driver drove us (2 w/ big bag packs) straight to Tallinn.
  I think we got lucky but there seems to be at least some traffic on weekdays.

  The best spot at this juncture is where the road turns and there is a large place to pull off to narrow road. The woman we rode with went out of her way to help us, saying she saw us before, and was happy to see us a second time when she was able. She drove us further because she thought our chances were not good to catch another ride through this beautiful, sparsely populated countryside.

  If you are going to the south of France, better catch a ride straight to the south of Valence, we were dropped at the north side (Bourg lès Valence) which is not really good to continue the way.

  If you can get there, it is a truck-drivers resting area, ideal spot for hitchhiking. They all go to Medellin or to Cartagena in the other way, they drive super slow, you have a lot of space and you can go ask directly to drivers having a break.The exact point is behind "Restaurant La Patrona, Planeta Rica, cordoba" on maps.

  Maybe it was because I didn’t knew how to catch a truck, but I had hard time hitching for a ride in the morning aswell, and at the end I stood with a sign and thumb at the exit to catch cars that have filled their tanks and cars that only pass here to cut the line off the main road.

  Awesome Lithuanian truck driver picked me up immediately from the rain, was heading to Vilnius. I hopped off in Panėvežys. The man was very helpful and just generally epic, he offered me water-coffee grounds-mix and crystalized ginger. Had "Rīga" on a sign.

  mostly local traffic. many lithuania cars but almost none stop. I declined 2 rides to marijampole in the hopes of getting a ride further but it was a mistake and i got stuck for 2 hours. its not a bad spot but i think i was just very unlucky. in the afternoon many lithuanians go back from shopping so in the end i got a ride to Kaunas.

  Empty, very well paved highway. We walked on some sandy paths up to the highway and pretty much the first truck stopped, going all the way to Kashmir. Very friendly guys, delighted to have hitchhikers, they kept making instagram reels. After a while they asked a few uncomfortable sexual questions, but as we were a married couple we didn't feel unsafe. Might be different for solo females. Otherwise, surprisingly good hitchhiking experiences in India, always picked up in less than 5 minutes, nobody asks for money, everyone genuinely curious and delighted to meet you and taking endless pictures.

  If you are alone, and you can sneak past without anyone seeing you, might be a good option, I managed once to then ask truck drivers.

We also got busted by the security when hitchhiking before the ramp, saying he does not want to see us anywhere near.

  Big station, many cars standing on the parking lot, few cars going. People going either to Berlin or North, truck drivers either somewhere local or in pairs (so no place for another person). After two hours of standing with a sign at the exit I went back to talk to people in front of the restaurant. One person who earlier said is not going my direction approached me saying they used to hitchhike and it's good if I move to am Fichtenplan, so I went with them (they were going to the airport to pick someone up)

  The issue is that there are not many cars and most drive only very short distance. Maybe this spot is better in the evening, when people return home from work.

  These cities in the southeast see their population growing very fast so a lot of more people driving and sometimes longer waits. If you have money in a prepaid card take bus B7 from Otogar or Meydanbaşı to Ortaköy (14tl) then hitchhike to Dara or Nusaybın. Full bus route to Dara is bus B2 from Devlet Hastanesi at 12 only, 45tl, comes back at 3pm and 7am. You can use it to get closer to Nusaybın road.

  A pretty nice restaurant + gas station that's perfect if you're going in the Eastern direction (Verona, Padova, Venezia, Udine and also Slovenia). Way harder to find anyone who would be going North to Trento. Also I found it quite tricky to get to Modena from here. I waited for a couple of hours and got tired after asking more than 100 different cars so I decied to go set up my hammock behind the gas station, oh how naive I was. There's NOTHING behind the gas station. Just some persimmon plantation, private property all over and a road leading to a ghost town. Though there is a nice restaurant 500 m away from the station (I asked for some food but they refused to give me any. Then the most beautiful waitress offered to buy me a pizza with her money but I gently refused <3) and a big truck parking where I made friends with some Slavic drivers and they gave me their food too.
  After some time I lowered my demands and ened up going just below Mantova.

  General advice for all of Chuysky trakt: Best is to thumb at bus stops, every village has one. Even inside of town, cars have very high speeds, but visibility is often very good. Takes some time to find cars (average 30min), but you will always find rides. Many locals and other travelers also do hitchhiking, you may not be the only one at a spot.

  The people here suck too. There wasn't as much hostility, but there were a bunch of hotrods that rolled past revving their engines. On top of that there isn't a lot of traffic on the ramp and most of it was teslas and BMWs.

I tried asking around at the BP gas station just up the road for an hour and a half and most people were locals. I highly recommend this spot as it gives driver's time to see you and your sign, also there is some space for them to stop if they wanna pick you up, highly recommended! 👍

  Feb 23. There's a fence around the gas station if you're walking from Kortrijk.(!!) It's really tall and probably very difficult to climb. I wasn't prepared and nearly cried. It was possible to walk under the motorway bridge and into the station via a little forest/collection of trees, however. I was there in the evening and it was dark. It's even a little path.

  Super spot. 4 colourful wanderers, we camped in Areni floodgate and came here at 11am brought by a friend's car to find a direct ride to Iran. After 5 minutes playing music and singing by smiley food vendors, two armenian trucks stopped for us and drove all the way to Agarak, which border i really missed since 2 years ago.
  We had signs to Meghri but they were really useless, as everyone would understand we're going as much south as possible. I'm in Samuel Hostel in Agarak, Iran will see me again in winter, going back to Georgia tomorrow!

  Horrible spot. You have to stay next to a bus stop and only traffic from a certain part if town goes there because the main road, which is only a few feet away but highway with nowhere to stand and fast cars is going through a short tunnel kind of. Stood there for 4 hours without result and made me use buses for 3 weeks afterwards because I thought Turkey doesnt work. Was wrong if course and later it was so easy but it traumatized me.

  Do NOT stop there hoping for a ride to Lyon, the highway splits at the same level so traffic goes elsewhere. If stranded there, a sign saying "Vénissieux" or "Villeurbane" would help. Someone took me to a bus stop there and I could reach Lyon eventually but it was a mistake to stop there, almost no traffic.
  If you are coming from Chambéry and your driver doesn't go inside Lyon, stopping at "Relais l'Isle d'Abeau Nord" 20km before is best.

  Bad spot. Traffic here is fast and drivers have just few secons between a momement when they emerges from the road turn and a moment when a side lane turning markup is ending

  Here are two options: (1) asking for gas station clents for pucking you up, (2) use a buss stop next to the station and try your luck in another spot (transport tickets a zonal by which you can reach out of the city and filter out the local traffic)

  There is a bus stop: "Neilandi", the bus 26 go there from city and across the road is the sign of RIGA.
  Firstly I try to hitchhiking with the sign Vilnius but after 30 min with no result, I change the sing to Bauska. After this in 5 min one driver stopped and bring me to Bauska

  A local dropped me off here because he thought a lot of people would go shopping and then go back onto the highway from there. in the end, I waited for more than 180 minutes only to find somebody who only wanted to do some skiing nearby. Luckily he had offered to bring me back to Lulea if I wouldn't find anybody on the off-ramp, so I ended up taking a train to my destination.

  The way to this big petrol station in direction Santander: Go to the bus stop Los heros, from there cross the bridge, turn right and walk aprox 300m until you reach the high waltage mast on your right side (it's visible on the map). Turn right to it thru the grass, on your left is a fence - if you follow the fence - there is trodden path through the bushes - you will reach the petrol station over the exit to the highway easily in 3 minutes (with a bit of scratch legs - but we are not sissies right:D). This is the fastest way. Then took me 30min to catch a car but its about luck. It's most convenient spot to hh out of Bilbao.

  Perfect place for the south up to Marseille.
  i use often this spot to go directly to Marseille. When going to Marseille I use a different method than usual : I writte a sign with Marseille and go only with drivers going up to there. From my experience a lot of cars are directly going to Marseille and finding one might take a little longer than taking the first car but ensure you to go directly there and not to get stuck on a random highway intersection on the way. It works always good for me like that
  good luck

There's a huge queue of trucks there, don't use sign there, because just near the Montenegro border there will be another huge line of trucks.

  Area to stop near the E6, not the greatest place, because cars are going fast, but they can see you from far away. Saw a lot of Swedish cars while waiting. There is a gas station north from this road for north and south traffic. I was going south and decided to hitch here, waited 25 minutes before got a lift to Mo I Rana.

  This is usually empty. Especially in weekend (so does the staff says).
  I had luck with an exceptionally nice man who took me to a great CESPA gas station located on the c16 which has traffic that goes to Andorra.

  If you’re headed to Andorra and found a hitch to Manresa you’d better ask the driver to stop in the gas station I described - area de servicio monserat.
  There’s usually multiple cars a day going straight to Andorra. (Especially after 9-10)

  A guy and a girl on a Friday at noon with a sign. We waited not that long at the exit to go south as there is no other good place to stop around, and a lot of people passing there seemed to go south too. Nobody stopped though, so we gave up, went to eat and contemplated taking a bus, but a nice guy came to us and said he was going to Ålgård and could get us out of here. If possible, try not to get here for hitchhiking...

  very bad spot, the highway sign is placed so that all the good spots for hitchhiking are blocked off and you will be risking a fine if you pass it, also be careful, it turns out there are 2 signs marking the start of the highway, where one of them is just for show i guess cuz we got police kicking us out behind the first one, which we didnt notice at first. If you are heading towards Firenze it should be okay since we got like 5 cars stopping, but noone is heading towards Bologna. If u end up  here going towards Bologna, I recommend making a sign and standing at the road marked by the map, where most cars pass through and try finding a place with the most space at this road, its not ideal, but its better than nothing.

  Waited in the shade of a wooden patio. After one hour someone stopped but drove off after some miscommunication of where we wanted to go. We waited another hour before moving 500m up the road and got a lift within a few minutes.

  There is a lot traffic passing through here, as well as some songthaewa to Ao Luek and some other longer distance buses you can stop. There were a few other people waiting here, so I think it may be a bus stop and that makes it confusing to hitchhike from here.

  An extremely busy Autogrill! So many German cars going both North and South. For some reason though quite difficult to get to Bologna from here and close to IMPOSSIBLE to go East towards Rimini.
  You can ask people directly where they're going or stand with a sign at the exit of the gas station (less effective).
  According to my calculations the peak traffic was reached at 1 pm with an average of 60 cars passing in the Southern direction and 40 in the Northern (yes I spent the whole day here, it was this comfy + nice view).

  The grocery shops on both sides of the road are so busy you can easily get away with taking any food/drinks and going upstairs with it to the restaurant (Didn't want to risk too much and only got 1 pack of chocolates 4 euro worth). 
  Tablediving is indeed extraordinary here! Mostly due to presence of many wasteful Americans XD
  Can't vote for the free showers though, doubt it's still a thing.

  Not sure if you can camp nearby this place but there are some pretty thick trees at the boot of the hill (some fences have to be jumped over to get there).

  Good spot by the poll station to get a ride to Sofia/Bulgaria. There were a few policemen doing controls but they weren’t interested in us and didn’t stop us. You can even reach this spot by foot (that’s what we did) from Dimitrovgrad by hitchhiking to a spot on the local road nearby and then there’s a path to the toll station. (check out the map) 
  There was a fence around the station but it had big holes you could claim through and toll station employees and police didn’t mind.

  Towards LV, Daugavpils, the border is amazing. Due to the current events most of the lorries are headed on A13 to one of the Russian border points, which means that every lorry gets inspected by the border guards. Due to that all the normal cars that do use this crossing drive super slow, get stuck behind manouvering lorries etc, therefore they have super good visibility on you when u stand on the border, wait times of 5-20 minutes expected, most likely first personal car with any space will give you a lift to Daugavpils the least

If you're going to Bratislava you might be able to get a ride but if you're trying to get back onto the highway like us, it wont work. Slovaks don't take the highway to Bratislava.

  The road between Ilmatsalu and Rõhu gets very little traffic, and most of it is agricultural lorries or gasoline trucks, which do not really pick you up. So your only bet is trying to catch some smaller cars, which there are very little of, it's one of these roads where u can hitch anywhere along the road no matter which direction you are headed, usually you'll end up walking quite some distance (hence why the marker's here) before someone stops, wait times of 40-80 minutes expected

  Not too much traffic and cars coming from the main road are going quite fast, try to stand somewhere where road signs won’t hide you from them.

  Honestly very good spot, and I think on this road it would be pretty much good anywhere. Stand on the piece of grass between the fast lanes and the side lane. That will make you seen from far away and you’ll be safe too. In the best case, try to have a truck of some sort of works on the lane next to where you stand, that way cars driving on that lane will be driving slower 😎

  Despite the fact, that is seems to be a pretty good place to cross the border, there is no traffic on this road. We got a ride to a border (1 km, two guys), but the police on the border did not allow us, since we were on foot and not in the car. So they sent us away, with the premission to walk on the highway. 
  After 30 minutes we got a ride to Brod, where we were able to cross the border.

  Easy spot to go towards cassis or la Ciotat, good visibility from the roundabout and a place to stop. From cassis to la Ciotat, I recommend the road along the cliffs, it is spectacular. Either search a new car in cassis, which should not be too difficult or ask your driver to take the little detour. Our driver agreed and showed us a bit around, probably just a lucky experience.

  In my experience, the best spot for hitchhiking south (Hamburg) and also better than at Aral in Husumer Straße. Here is the direct highway access via the B200. The nearest bus stop is called “Friedenshügel”. Drivers coming from the direction of McDonalds and wanting to get onto the highway often stop here for 2-3 minutes at a traffic light. There are also three supermarkets (Aldi, Rewe, Lidl) in the immediate vicinity of McDonalds. Aral is also on a highway ramp, but in my experience you are hardly noticed by passing cars. The filling station is not only frequented by highway drivers, but also by those staying in the city or driving into the surrounding countryside.

  You can get there from Kielce by bus no. 19 (get off at Szewce wiadukt bus stop). Go to the right, upstairs and through the door. If the door is locked, you can jump over the fence or try the gate a little bit further the small road.
  Most of the people go to Kraków or Katowice from here.

  Generally a lot of traffic and easy to ask cars by the petrol station or the restaurant. Started asking people at 5.30pm and only got a ride at 9.30pm. 
  Maybe we were not lucky because the highway to Toulouse was closed off because of the wildfires.
  Eventually this very sweet couple took us and actually gave us a ride to the doorstep of our friend's house, so that was amazing!

  A guy and a girl on a Friday at noon, with a sign. This spot is good if you get stranded in the area : cars don't go fast and there is enough space to stop. But a lot of people only go to Stavanger. Two cars stopped and the last one took us to Forus, south of Stavanger, but we got stranded there so, if you can, try to have ride further, like Ålgård.

  This is a great spot. Everyone going on the highway and lots of place to see you and stop. Also feels safe because you can stand on a platform separated from the road. Saw some comments about police stopping hitchhikers, but several police passed me and just smiled and waved. Try this place to get out of Liege if you can. If going to paris ”E42” on a sign is great, so you can get to a gas station on the highway.

  Arguably one of the best spots in Poland. Great to catch a ride towards Wrocław or Katowice. With some luck you can also find a driver going to Kielce, Lublin, Rzeszów or even Ukraine or Czech Republic.

  I believe there was a hole in the fence, close to the exit in the bushes. Just go along the fence and you'll find it.

  I flew right in front of the truck exit and didn't get a ride after over 4 hours. Most truckers here are either going west, or can't pick up hitch hikers because of their insurance/company policy. Got cash kick downs, but no ride offers. Another hitcher was flying at the i80 east on-ramp and was there as long as I was with no luck. In the future I'd just forgo this spot entirely.

  Towards Lihula, Pärnu. During the ferry times (when cars come off from the Hiiumaa ferry), you can try to catch cars going to Pärnu direction on this road, as they all take the Valgevälja road to skip Haapsalu, during that time it is perfect, you can stand anywhere on the road, but outside of that the road has no real usage so quite useless outside of the "golden rush". Wait times of 5-minutes when ferry cars come, otherwise I'd recommend walking to the bus stop a bit further

  A guy and a girl without a sign. We arrived on a Thursday evening and hitchhiked for about an hour without anyone taking us. We slept a bit north in the small village and got a ride to Götenborg in the morning. Not the best spot as cars go quite fast, but there is an emergency lane for cars to stop.

  It's not great, but it was the best place for me to stop from other ride. Also I took a break and visited a beach just below this parking and it was quite nice. To get more cars I was standing on the exit ramp from main road to parking, it is illegal in this road, but whatever, it worked. Cars are going really fast downhill, but it's manageable. I think in summer season the best way would be to just ask people who stopped on a break, it looks like quite popular viewpoint.

  This spot is pretty fast. But the visibility is ok, and there is room to pull off the road.

  There is a trail system that runs along the highway, follow it until you find the maintenance access. Dont jump or vandalize the fence. There is a gate, jump it or you can wade through the bramble... and you'll be on the highway. Hitching is fairly common in this area so you shouldn't have to wait too long.

  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

  Very good spot. I always leave Montpellier from there. You can go to the west (Béziers, Narbonne, Toulouse, Perpignan...)  or the east and north (Nîmes, Marseilles, Lyon ...)This time I had a sign "Toulouse" and got a ride directly to Frouzins (south west of Toulouse). A guy solo with just one place.  This day I hitchiked with a French girl going from Marseilles to Toulouse. We had to separate since the guy had just one place. If you read this message, I hope you got a lift and could manage to reach Toulouse on time ;)

  Gas station on the highway, hitched here two times, both times in the morning. Most of the people are going to Trondheim, sometimes there are tourists going more south. Both times got a lift to Klett (intersection with E39) and hitched south from there. Very friendly staff even suggested a trucker to take me along, and so he did towards Klett.

  There is almost no traffic, maybe if you are alone, there were few trucks drivers.
   We stood there realy long time, with a sign to Madrid, then without a sign and then we started to ask people on the gas station. First person was a Czech guy (we are also from Czechia), he told us that he is going to Madrid, but unfortunately he does not take hitchhikers. After that we asked another guy and he took us to Madrid and in Madrid he bought us train tickets to Salamanca, so we were realy lucky. But it is a terrible spot. Boy and girl, afternoon, weekday

  Traffik very low due to day after Midsommar, roughly one car every two minutes. Was plenty of space to stop, but most (interesting) traffik went north. Don't think it's worthwhile, because even on busy days, this place might become too dangerously crowded. Also, sadly there ain't a point where just Stockholm traffik passes, so many cars aren't even in your interest anyways.

  Was impossible for me to hitch a ride in the city of Alta (bus stops) or then at the Museum bus stop. So i decided to walk here. After 3 hours of waiting one car finaly stopped and took me all the way to Bjerkvik. Good spot overwise, plenty of space to stop. Near the Museum its a bit confusing because there is a turn to a museum and then the bus stop is made so a bus can turn around, so its quite tricky stopping there.

Although this, the place kinda sucks. Just a lot of internal traffic close to a mall. We waited for a long time till someone told us that it wasn’t a great idea to hitchhike there and brought us back to the city. We waited both with the thumb and with a sign.

  Never hitchhiked before but picked this spot at the autobahn on ramp trying to head to Berlin,
   took us (two 20 year old guys, one who is German one not) 10-20 minutes to get a ride to Brandenburg very close to Berlin. The shoulder of the road has a decent place for cars to stop once you climb the stairs to the top of the loop. Only complaint is no shade and maybe you don't want to stand on the shoulder like this.

  Ask at the petrol station about the people filling up.

  Not a review for a specific spot, but rather for the island of Zakynthos as a whole--easiest place to hitchhike I've ever been. We hitched all over the island for 4 days and never had to wait more than 5 minutes. Just start walking in the direction of your destination and when a car comes by, smile and put out your thumb, usually the first car would stop, especially on the small roads between villages. Don't wait at a spot, just start walking, as cars will stop anywhere, even on narrow curves. Good to know some Greek.

  Very bad spot, dropped here at the "aire de covoiturage" by a car, we wanted to go to Paris, but didn't got any ride (we had to walk to the next village asking cars to drop us somewhere else)
  All the cars that we saw were exiting the highway, or going to the villages around.
  We should've ask the previous car to drop us at the highway gas station "Limoges Est" (aire d'autoroute/station service).

  Très mauvais spot, on a été déposées à l'aire de covoiturage par une voiture, pendant qu'on allait vers Paris (on a dû marcher jusqu'à Razès en demandant à des voitures de nous déposer ailleurs)
  Toutes les voitures qui passent ici soit sortent de l'autoroute donc n'y rerentrent pas, soit vont d'un village à l'autre.
  On aurait dû demander à la voiture précédente de nous laisser à l'aire d'autoroute Limoges Est.

  Neortodoksa metodaro por severaj situacioj, Tuj post la trafikcirklo estas malpermesite halti, sed iuj eble ankoraŭ haltos. Antaŭ la trafikcirklo kaj interne ĝi ankaŭ estas opcio. Neniu konkuradas, ĉiuj pasas malrapide. Alia ebleco estas peti kamionojn ene de la benzinstacio, ne en la parko ĉar ĝi estas malpermesita. Sed proksime aŭ ĉe la ekstero de kamionoj. Ili ankaŭ povas helpi.

  To north, spot is good since you can catch both ways of cars coming from A6, poorly maintained during winter and not doable at night, during daytime wait time of 20-30 minutes

  Lots of people going east and west so you can even  change your kind if you want.
  Plus point for the small mostly empty barn in Nérondet that saved me from the rain at night. Technically that is trespassing but if you get up early and have no light at night it should be okay, its just a barn with haybales and an old trailer

  Took a while, would recommend standing further up the road (away from the toll) so drivers can actually see you as lots of people signalling as if they didn’t have time to stop. Got a lift to Montpellier eventually

  A local person told me that this is the best place to stand to get a ride (in either direction) because local people will stop here. Wait on the small local road next to the red house (not on the main road).

  Very difficult to get towards hradec kralove or Wroclaw. I think I had bad luck, but still there are not many cars with Kralove licence plates and even less with polish ones. Some polish trucks, but no one wanted to take me. Maybe that was just bad luck

  Almost perfect hitchhiking spot. On a Wednesday noon, it was a bit empty but quickly I found a ride to Vienna!

  I suggest to stop or ask at the gas station rather than the restsurant, because it's rather wealthy people who go eat there and families.

  It's easy for both directions to hh

  I think it's a good spot, better than the one nearby (though the other is a bit safer) because you get traffic even from south. I'd recommend having a sign bc there are more directions cars go (i didn't have one🙃 ) but got a ride to Mulhouse!

  doesn't work. old comments advise to stand right infront of the tunnel, but the cars are going 100km/p/h on a 70km road. it's a dangerous spot. 
  we got lucky when we moved a little back and just almost jumped at every car passing, because we were so fed up with this road. 
  eventually worked with a A6 sign and we got to Villafranche, where it was so much easier

  Parking bay on the N18. May feel dodgy but people see you from a good distance. Be aware that after Haaksbergen there or no more good hitchhiking places on the N18 so it might make sense to wait a bit longer to find the perfect ride for you direction.

  Spot on front of the servo. Be sure to hitch early, the check out time from the campground is 10AM after that you’ll be getting roasted in the sun waiting for car. After two hours of nothing coming I went onto small bus that connects to the Melbourne-Batemans route going to Genoa. Got a ride for free, bus goes at 14:25.

  There's a space next to the road where people can stop safely and it's on a straight road so the cars have  plenty of time to spot you and think about it.

  I first tried to take the road south of Sofia towards Plovdiv, but people to Plovdiv are actually using the highway north of Sofia. Not very good place, seems like only local people stop. I got invited to spend the night in the Apartment of a couple as it was getting late. In the morning the woman took me to the other side of Sofia to a much better spot towards Plovdiv.
