Nice view from the road. I got dropped off at the ABC nearby so I had to walk a bit. Used both thumb and a sign saying "Hki" (short for Helsinki)

Most cars seem to go to Helsinki, so if you want to go west, it's not perfect. But people were very friendly and smiled at us at least :-) And if you want to go to Helsinki, this spot is probably really nice.

Probably a great spot if you want to go to helsinki (two cars stopped within one hour and offered to take me there, and many slowed down to read my sign that said "Jyväskylä" and shook their heads).
no one stopped for jyväskylä, but the bus stop in the other direction is convenient for getting to stop'n go grill (see there for further comments).

A lot of traffic heading both ways, got a ride to Helsinki with a sign and thumb. Took relatively long considering the amount of traffic.

Relatively silent gas station but got a ride with a sign and a thumb (Saying Helsinki on one side, Salo on the other one) after 10 minutes to Salo. The driver who took me to the gas station recommended to try to get to Salo for a straight ride to Helsinki.

Not a great spot for getting to Helsinki. Waited close to two hours without anyone stopping, and another hitchhiker that I met said they waited there for 3 hours! Most people do not turn onto the highway from here and most of the cars had a whole family inside anyway. Would recommend waiting at the bus stop along the highway slightly north.

If you end up near paimo like me (the first lift couldn't take me further) this Petrol station is quite a good spot to get further. There was not a lot of traffic when I was there, but it's near the highway and a lot of the cars are going to Helsinki. You just have to ask the drivers directly, I think just standing there with a sign would take quite long since it's not a very bis petrol station. I got lucky and the first person I asked took me to Helsinki :)
I General not the best spot, but if a previous lift can't take you any further I would suggest asking them to let you out here

Took us a while to get a ride to Helsinki, but we got one after being patient. Te traffic lights are a good place to position yourself. Cars can stop at the busstop after the crossing.

Good spot to get a ride to Helsinki as there is high traffic, but not a lot of space for car to stop. However we didn't wait too long and one car wanted to stop but continues to drive and then came back for us in 10 minutes. So it's better to stay closer to the crossroad as cars have much more time to see you and then stop the car where there is still a space.

Good for getting a ride to Helsinki. Cars get to see you when they stop at the traffic lights and there's plenty of space for them to pick you up.
