Exellent spot to Mulhouse. With a sign it took me 3 minutes

It’s a quite good spot. I waited on the on-ramp of the highway. Many cars coming, enough space to stop. In the first 10 minutes 3 or 4 cars stopped, but they didn’t went my direction. I wanted to go to Geneva/switzerland. In the end I got offered a ride to Mulhouse or be dropped off at a rest area towards Geneva. I took the ride to Mulhouse and the guy even drove me to Basel (bale) to the train station. I even met someone else hitchhiking there at the same time, so cool!

I stood on a pedestrian walk/curb thing and got a nice look at every single car passing by into Switzerland. In my eyes the perfect spot as everybody has enough time to decide and to read your sign. Initially I wanted to get to Mulhouse from the other side, but there was no traffic so I switched for a ride towards Switzerland.

Easy to get a ride because the cars slow down for the roundabout. Easy to get to Basel/mulhouse, not far destinations.

got picked up quickly while looking for a lift to strasbourg
the driver offered to take me to mulhouse and I kind of regret accepting because it took 2 hours to get onto the a34 again from the entrance he dropped me off at, and later on when trying to leave strasbourg I had to wait 3 hours at the a4 entrance
service stations along the motorways had more normal pickup times though, I'd excercise caution on where you accept lifts to because of this, if you're only being offered a lift partway make sure you can get dropped off at one rather than a random slip road

We (2 Persons) wanted to go to the west, but people also take this road to move to the south or to Germany. After 1,5h from 19:30 to 21:00 and not many cars we camped in the forest nearby (beautiful place) and tried the day after. Got a ride to Mulhouse finally - better than nothing.

Big area where people stop to eat and take gaz. I was trying to go to Strasbourg, but lot of people were going south, and the one going around Mulhouse/Strasbourg were already full of people&package.
I tried both sides of the area, on the left asking trucks conductors but they weren't allowed to take hitchhiker's ; and I also went on the right side near the gas station and shop, to ask directly people. I waited 2 hours and eventually found a nice couple that took me to Toul, near Nancy. Not really my way but I took the train from Toul to Strasbourg!

I was already in a car going to Mulhouse, but I had to get to Strasbourg. It was already late so the guy offered to stop at this station so I can quickly ask the few cars that were there. Sadly no one went to Strasbourg so I joined the man to Mulhouse train station

I was there twice on my way to France. It´s very easy to get a ride in the right direction, so great Spot.
Hitchhiking further into France I always got stuck up in Mulhouse, so maybe it´s worth trying over Basel or waiting fore someone who brings you to a gas station, not some roundabout near Mullhouse.

While on a pit stop on my way to Basel, scared of not being able to cross to France, decided to ask the two (french) cars next to me if they would give me a ride. One did to Mulhouse. This gas station did seem to have more French cars than others, so probably good for that (also lots of Swiss). Solo female.

Got here by accident. Absolutely terrible spot, I left it cause some nice lady told me nobody is driving from this spot to Mulhouse (just local traffic to do groceries in Intermarche).

Mostly Basel (those usually wouldn't stop) or Strasbourg. We had to refuse multiple cars, as we were trying to get to France near Mulhouse

was getting desperate so just asked for rides into mulhouse from people here. better than at the on slip to the motorway if going west, but mostly drivers going to germany or locals from the shoping centre.

great alternative to hitching from the border. we were a while standing on the on slip directly, but eventually we moved onto the road a little bit and one of the first french cars to pass stopped for us. theres good visibility and cars are already slowing down about to turn. at mid day on a weekday there was a decent amount of traffic, a lot of people in mulhouse commute to switzerland for work so you could catch a lot of french drivers going home after work around 5 or 6 potentially.
