Very good spot in direction of Vesoul/Besançon. Cars have a lot of space to stop so its easy. We didn't wait more than 5min, in the morning so a lot of people on the road also. Directly to Vesoulrating: 5/5, wait: 5 min, ride: 32 km ↙

if you stand right at the roundabout exit this can be a great spot. its before the lanes split going onto the autoroute, theres lots of cars going both east and west so bringing a sign is necessary. we got a lift with a sign for besançon very quickly, theres a mcdonalds across the road where you can ask for cardboard or use their bathroom.rating: 4/5, wait: 10 min 🪧, ride: 84 km ←

there is space to pull over after the sign but many drivers cant see it until they get off the roundabout. possible drivers to stop in the roundabout though, but theyd have to really want to because its a bit risky. we waited an hour with a sign for dijon, but got a lift when we switched to one saying A36. if you want to hitch from here bring a sign for Montbelliard or Besançon. traffic was good around mid day, you could probably get a lift really quickly during peak commuter hours.rating: 3/5, wait: 60 min 🪧, ride: 17 km ↓

In the evening (19:30) we could not find a new ride, so we pitched our tent on the field behind the gas station. In the morning, there was more traffic and we found a ride to Besançon quite fast by walking up to people and asking.rating: 3/5, ride: 129 km ↙

Plenty of place to stop after the peage, free toilets. Decent amount of traffic, but no one going to Mulhouse apparently. We waited 3h on a Saturday afternoon until someone took us to Besançon.rating: 3/5, wait: 170 min, ride: 82 km →

Didn't have the time to write on a cardboard that a family came to me asking my direction, and gave me a lift toward Besançon.―ChrisPnct, November 2015

J'ai testé ce spot plusieurs fois pour Paris et Besançon. Je trouve préférable de stopper au dernier feu tricolore de l'avenue des vosges qu'en face de la maison du bâtiment (là où il y a la piste cyclable). Temps d'attente très variable.―Xena, June 2015

Got a ride for the Beaune fork (north -> Paris/East) pretty easily as a lot of people are passing there. Couldn't get a direct trip heading for Besançon though.―Noosk, August 2013

Direction Besançon, Mulhouse, Basel, Germany (Freiburg)Good place at this Péage, if someone can get you there at least. If the driver don't go through the Péage onto the highway, you can access the Péage by a short walk on a path situated on the south side. Then there is a fence, but it is jumpable near the Péage as some people already got here this way
