Waited for close to two hours there with and without a sign reading ‘Kutaisi’ in both languages. Not much room for cars to pull over but many do (to pick up their relatives etc) and buses as well. Not much traffic but Matshukas come every 30min or so in the worst case. Eventually got a dude to take me to Khashuri

Have to agree with the previous comment. Hard to HH out going North. Tried this stretch for like 15min before going at the next junction 1km or so father down the road. I’d advise doing the same but it’s really not perfect either. There’s less room for cars to stop at the junction but most cars coming from the city center didn’t continue through towards Khashuri and there you also get cars coming from Bakuriani.

Easy spot out of the roundabout for a ride towards Borjomi/Tbilissi. There was quite a lot of traffic when I was there, with place to pull over + as it’s slightly uphill cars don’t drive too fast. There’s a bus stop there so don’t be surprised to see ppl wait. They didn’t mind that I hhed from there.

As good a spot as any. I walked North with my thumb up and someone eventually stopped on their way to Akhakalaki. The road is NASTY (especially after it’s rained) so don’t be surprised if your driver takes a shortcut through the fields lol There’s also a bus stop along the way, you can wait there if you feel like it :)

Good spot going North or West. Going to Brookline I initially waited opposite the gas station so as to be seen by all drivers going North or West (the western route is longer but faster) but the worker there told me to focus on cars going West. Apparently the driver going North stop after a village or two. Anyway I found a ride 5 min after relocating, to Akhalsikhe.

Friendly people but there are very few cars going down the valley. You might have better link in the morning when workers go to the city

A nightmare on paper but eventually a great place because people here are great. A truck driver picked me up within minutes (it was dark already) all the way to Kars and offered to take me to Georgia/Azebaijan (which is eventually my destination but I wanted to visit Kars). Anyway, as good a spot as any and if you end up there you won’t have much choice <3

Some guy took me going towards Kars. It’s only once in the car that I understood he was completely nuts and he eventually left me in the middle of the highway lol Anyway the roundabout is a good option. Not a lot of visibility but cars don’t go too fast and there’s space to pull over. Have fun!

Tried to hitchhike at night. 9pm (the sun had set) in August. A truck driver took me to Pirot. Nice but there are no gas station on the highway between Nis and Pirot so then I had to spend the night there (completely doable). At night I’d advise on pushing farther than Pirot if going to Bulgaria. Ps : gas station accessible on foot from the city, you have to climb a fence coming from the west.

Good spot to get to Nis. I was going to Bulgaria so it wasn’t really adequate. Some random woman came up to me when I was packing to bring me to the other side of town. Thanks to her!

Had a “KY” sign and stood right before the entrance to the petrol station. Asked a KU-plate car that when to the car station for a ride to Kumanovo. On the road itself the cars are going quite fast so I think it’s easier to filter at the gas station directly. -> 1 man in August

Took me a long time to get onto a car. At first I had a “north Macedonia” sign but hard to read and the cars were driving pretty fast, signalling they didn’t go that far. After a while I ditched the sign and got picked up in 5 min to Librazhd. One man, 20s.

Waited right before the gas station so that cars could pull over easily. Had a sign reading “Elbasan/North Macedonia”. Took me a while (an hour and a half) to find a driver to Elbasan. I also tried the second roundabout right before the highway but turned back because the cars were driving too fast. Also, easily accessible from the airport so it’s possible to rest and use the restrooms.

Ideally placed to get out of Podgorica, towards Albania. I stood right after the roundabout, there was room for the cars to pull over and even some shade from the road sign. I had a sign reading “Albania”. Had to wait quite a bit but going to Tirane that was worth the wait.

Nice station going to Zagreb. Got there from the overpass west of there, then slipped under the bridge and after jumping the fence (1.5m high, pretty accessible) had to go along the rail for 100m or so. The station can host many trucks but there weren’t that many of them on an early summer Wednesday. In the end I approached mostly people at the gas station. Also, the toilets cost 1€ but easy to hide behind a truck.

Stood there going East. Not a single car entering the autostrada on a rather busy Monday morning (at least cars went out). Maybe it’s got to do with the time idk. I’d recommend ++ walking to the service station a hundred meters west (accessible by foot)

Found a ride going East that dropped me off at the San Bonifacio Autogrill. Many cars passing by but very few stopped. There’s a bit of space for them to stop by the station but limited visibility and they ride fast as well. Probably the best option to leave the city going East though.

Many people going through the station but many for Milano. I wanted to do past the city towards Verona. Got a ride quickly to Bergamo with the hope of going further east. No sign needed in my case, easy to talk to people at the pump or on their way out. Bathroom accessible for free and lots of shade.

I waited right after the roundabout. Seemed like a nice spot towards Milano, although you have to make a choice between the two routes people come from (Torino or Settimo). I chose Torino and got picked up almost to Milano with the hope of reaching Verona. I had a sing with Milano as this section serves many routes.

I waited on a sunny Thursday morning (July) right after the roundabout, aiming for Torino. The spot is just fine, although I believe I got lucky to be on board after only 10 minutes. The driver took me all the way to Torino. PS : I tried talking to people at the parking lot right before the roundabout but all vehicles seemed uninhabited.
