Good gas station before the fork between Meishan/Leshan and Ya’an, seemingly more traffic to the formers but I got a ride fairly quickly after I added the mention 雅安 (Yǎ’ān) to my sign. There’s also a toll gate here so you could probably ask them if you can walk onto the gas station or just wait at the booth

Somewhat awkward to stand there because it’s huge and traffic is coming from three different directions, and there’s a truck weighing thing on the far side so it might create some congestion. I waited between that platform and the lanes regular cars use. Good for anything south-west of Chengdu

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. Not ideal, but basically all traffic to eastern Slovakia from this part of Poland goes through here. Ideally avoid getting dropped here and get a direct ride to Slovakia from further north.

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