got a ride to tartu in almost 15 min (july) totally recommend that spot : good visibility even if the car get a bit faster get a sign !!! good luck but it’s perfect to go south est 😀

I regularly get rides from here into Tartu. Very easy, sign or no sign.

Towards Aovere, (Tartu), if a car comes from Tammistu they'll have perfect speed to stop for you, however they are most likely headed to Tartu, if your goal is to go further, ask for Aovere (would be a 2km detour if they would take the shortcut road otherwise), not the best for the cars on the main road but still good enough of a visibility, wait times of 5-15 minutes expected

Ideal spot towards Tartu, long speeding lane in 70km/h area with a bus stop at the end of it and great visibility with just enough cars, what else to ask for? wait times of 5-10 minutes expected

Temporary 5 star spot towards Tartu, due to the roadworks at Mäo cross which has closed both the entries to Tallinn-Tartu highway, which means all the cars coming from Rakvere-Paide road have to use the Mäo old road means low speeds and wide area for cars to stop on the speeding lanes, which means fast pickups, wait times of 5-15 minutes right now, (roadworks have been going on since May)

Very visible and convinient for cars. Got a ride to Tartu.

Got a ride to Tartu immediately. A sign helps.

Usually a good spot but there were police there at the same time so people were wary of me. One of the best spots to get a ride towards Viljandi from Tartu, expect to wait 30-45 minutes.

Towards Tartu, amazing spot, probably won't catch a car coming from Saula, however now most cars head quite a distance on the highway and due to great visibility and the obscurity of this spot, you'll get a car within 5-10 minutes going long distance

Wide roadside, basically a gamblers spot as you can catch a car coing towards Lasnamäe, Maardu or to the Tallinn roundabout direction- Narva/Tartu/Pärnu, or even to Muuga (less likely due to the next turn being of the cars for that). Would recommend taking any car that takes you further. Seems like a spot where noone would stop and you will have loads of cars go by you, but never say never, as somehow I have managed to get always a car here before the rarely seen busses, if you feel lucky, definitely try this here, just make sure to be not too close to the bus stops as there's almost always someone waiting for a bus, ruining your chances of getting a car, wait times of 5-30 minutes expected

Towards Tartu, great visibility, very wide and long speeding ramp and loads of traffic, what else could you wish for? wait times of 5-15 minutes expected

Towards Tartu, only use during winter with loads of snow cuz the main Valga spot by then is covered by snow and for some reason they dont plow it well enough, however more towards the little river the sides are done wide and you can stop personal cars there way better, wait times of 10-30 minutes expected, low traffic as usual for Valga.

Towards Aovere, but a lot of the cars taking this exit actually usually go quite some long distance (Mustvee/Jõhvi/Jõgeva/Tallinn etc). The turn itself isn't the best, not the most amount of room but you will be able to stop anything due to the low speeds, don't be hesitated about most cars staying on Tartu-Räpina highway, try to aim cars coming from Räpina direction - those are the long distance ones, wait times of 15-45 minutes expected

Another very good bus stop towards Tartu, decent traffic, has street lights and wide enough, wait times of 20-40 minutes expected

Towards Tartu, great spot, low speeds due to roundabout, a lot of cars headed towards Tartu especially in the mornings, has street lights and the bus stop is huge, you can stop anything there, wait times of 5-30 minutes expected depending on the time of the day

Towards Tartu, quite uncomfy for the cars to stop but there's not much options around here, try to aim for those rare cars turning from Jõgeva, locals though usually go the other directions, good visibility and does have street lights as positives, wait times of 20-45 minutes expected

Towards Kõrveküla/Aovere, okay amount of traffic, has street lights and wide bus stop, a good way to skip Tartu and try to get a car further on the Jõhvi highway, wait times of 10-30 minutes

Either direction this dirt road barely gets any traffic til Uniküla-Vastse-Kuuste road or til Tartu-Räpina highway , had a single car pass on this section and they turned away to the villages before, about a car maximum in a hour, unless you get extremely lucky be prepared to walk all the way towards your destination, wait times of 100+ minutes

Towards Tartu, uncomfortable spot as its on the turn but cars on the highway don't speed as it still is 70km/h area or just about ended as well as some cars from Sangla would turn, with no speed, so all in all you'll get a car within 10-30 minutes, wouldn't recommend at night time

Excellent spot. Small roundabout, cars exit very slowly. Good shoulder to wait on for cars going East or South (Viljandi or Tartu).
