My ride from the day before had invited me to stay the night and took me to the other side of Sofia to a great spot towards Plovdiv early in the morning.

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.

Most traffic is going to Burgas. Got stuck here all sunday afternoon + monday morning.
Cars are full, I asked to truck drivers but all declined until one drive me tl little before Svilengrad.
For Turkey better to wait longer to get a direct ride from Sofia/Plovdiv.

Traffic is slowing down because of the "vignette" toll and enough place for card to trucks to stop for a good 500m.
Off season better to accept rides only to Plovdiv/turkish border.

Direction Svilengrad, easy enough to get a ride past Plovdiv (30 minutes or so), the same would apply for Burgas.

Easy place to get to Plovdiv, not so much to get to Burgas directly, so probably better to first get to a gas station on the road to Plovdiv (and on to Burgas) and from there talk to people to get further.

Good place to hitchhike towards Sofia and other tows to the West of Plovdiv. A lot of drivers prefer this exit when going to Sofia

Coming from Turkey I got dropped here and had no problems at all to get another lift to Plovdiv. Enough space for cars to stop on the on-ramp and the side of the highway.
