Big gas station, lot of cars and trucks, but lot of cars were full or drove to their summer cottage. However it's possible to get a ride to Kuopio.

Bus stops on either side of road. North to Mikkeli / Varkaus / Kuopio. South to Kouvola.

I went to the first bus stop in direction of Kuopio. Just 50m from car park. 15min wait.

There are always nice bus stops on the road. Used this one to kuopio. So go on the road (if it's no highway) and use your thumb. It works better than cardboard. And don't wait on rest places

Towards Kuopio and Varkaus. There is good spot to hitch-hike after traffic lights. It is easy to get drive farther from the city. Really near by the spot is shopping center, and that's why there is lots of cars going by.

Quite good, tho it's a little harder to go to Lahti than Kuopio, because you'll either lose some trafic if you go on the bus stop (or have to take the 644 road which may become a trap), or put yourself on a spot a bit further the roundabout, where cars have a bit less space.

It is known that Finland isn't the best country for hitchhiking but in our case we had to wait about 20 min to get a ride all the way to Kuopio. Nice spot with room for drivers to pull over. And there is a nice little park to have a rest or chillout.

To Kuopio and Mikkeli. Very good point. You can take bus from centrum to get (only) near this spot.

To Kuopio, Mikkeli and Lahti. First you should take ride to the ABC in Vaajakoski. You can use sign "ABC" (people will understand). From ABC it's very easy to continue both (Lahti/Kuopio) directions.
