I was dropped off here by a local, but had to wait here quite some while before someone picked me up. Spot itself isn’t bad, people can see you and your sign and have a place where to stop before and after the toll. I had a sign Split/Zagreb. Eventually an American couple stopped and they were driving to Ljubljana!!!rating: 3/5, wait: 120 min 🪧, ride: 325 km ↑

Takes some time to get a ride. Probably because of the no Autostop sign. People only go in the direction of Zagreb m. If you wanna go south, you should take a ride to dobra gas station. You can get to the other side of the highway via a tunnel.rating: 3/5, wait: 90 min, ride: 11 km ↑

2 guys with backpacks, we tried the hitchhike spot from the guy from 2013 and it still kinda works. High traffic, drivers have nice place to stop, but very very low success rate. Waited 135 minutes until we got a ride to Zagreb. Got 2 signs: "Zagreb" and "highway".Got there by bus from Zadar from the main bus station. It was bus number 4 but these things change over time. Just get to the main bus station and I strongly believe you will manage.
Long wait but got all the way to Zagreb

It’s a very good spot! The ferry goes every 30 min and you can get on for free as a passenger. You can try ask cars before they go on the ferry, but it’s quite busy and people might not be in the headspace for it, since they are focused on following instructions to get on. Rather go on the ferry and ask people there or make a sign and stand there while people get on. I personally looked for german license plates first and asked them (my final goal was germany), but when they didn’t take me in, I pulled out my sign. One of the cars that I asked took me in after all, when they saw that zagreb would be ok as well, they weren’t sure if they’d drive all the way to germany because of their kid. I hitchhiked in the morning around 10 am and a they took me all the way to Zagreb, which is great.rating: 5/5, wait: 5 min, ride: 538 km ↖

Mostly all local plates and some to Zagreb. Most people didn’t look at me, tough crowd. Little shade place to protect yourself from the sun. After two hours I just walked to the station and got a bus.rating: 1/5, wait: 120 min 👍

We got dropped off here at around 10pm and said "fuck it we ball", stood in the middle of the road with thumbs up once every 5mins when a car passed. Somehow we scored a ride to Gyor, which was our direction, but if you're going to Hungary and by some miracle end up here, best of luck. most drivers are either going to Zagreb or alomg the border towards Serbia. the hungarian cars thend to be families of 4. Also, illegal. Have fun ;)rating: 4/5, wait: 40 min 👍, ride: 360 km ↑

Bus stop doesn’t exist anymore, trying to get to Zagreb in the late afternoon. Got a lift after a long time in the sun by the roundavout to the middle of the highway near krsko by a nice old lady who says she will come back in two hours if no one picks me up.rating: 1/5, wait: 90 min 🪧, ride: 30 km ↗

This probably used to be a good spot but the McDonald's is not here anymore and there is only a Shell gas station. The station is basically empty and there are almost no cars or trucks. We got lucky and got a ride to Zagreb with a romanian guy who was taking a nap in his parked car. I would highly suggest to not hitchike in this place. Only luck got us out.rating: 2/5, wait: 80 min 💬, ride: 186 km ↙
