Got an incredible ride with an old super nice Romanian guy. Once we arrived in Arad he took me to the town hall for a tour, then he showed me around the city, brought me home for lunch and gave me 200 lei

Towards Puhja/Viljandi, a very nice turning lane for cars coming from Rõhu as well as very good visibility for the cars already on the main road, a lot of space and good amount of traffic, wait times of 5-15 minutes expected

Very good spot towards Risti/Haapsalu/Tallinn. Not a lot of traffic and loads of cars turn the other directions, but the odds of a car picking you up here are pretty good, as well as loads of long distance cars, every time i have been here the driver has been going to Tallinn, which is very nice, as well as two good options on the way for Haapsalu, so all in all a really nice wide stop with good visibility, wait times of 5-25 minutes to be expected

Short ride to Johnston city nice shoulder

Not a lot of traffic and most cars don’t go to Istanbul. Gas Station personnel was nice and gave me tea and advice. Look for cars with 34 on the numberplate as this is the city code for Istanbul. Stand near the highway so you’re not limited to the gas station traffic.

7-11 good spot to hang and ask for rides. Locals are chill and nice

Nice spot to go to Munich but bad spot to go east and to Czech Republic. Not so many cars here

Ok, this was not great spot south, if you are heading south I would discourage you from going here, but it was kinda nice spot towards Belgium. Be aware a lot of migrants are lurking around after dark, we had two of them jump on top of our truck and drove them to Belgium (they were not happy about that and banged on our roof). It was definitely one of my crazier stories, but it was kinda fun. Just to be aware of that. (Normally I would sleep around here, but I would never sleep in this place, it was not safe, therefore I went back north to Belgium)

Avoid it, highway security came for us just after they saw us on camera even though they were super nice. We had to walk for almost an hour to go to the entry of the highway.

I hopelessly thumbed while walking from highway pay tolls and some nice guy stopped for me and took to San Severo. This is not a place to stand, but conclusion is that it's better to stay on SS16 than A14

Nice gas station+parking lot, most traffic was moving towards wallis for holidays so had to wait for a bit to get to lausanne

This is not good at all, probably other intersections in Cerignola are better, but I ended here. Luckily great guy stopped and took me to the station on entrance to A14 highway, also asked me for a coffee and croissant. Nice experience for me, but I wouldn't recommend a place.

Probably there is no chance for a long ride, but I got really quickly to Barletta, people are nice.

I was at this station in the evening and traffic was low so I tried but also I was already planning to stay in a tent somewhere behind the parking and start again in the morning. After 30min police showed up and asked me to leave the station outside this big fence. Probably the owner really don't like hitchhikers and called a police. I found some quiet nice spot outside the highway, but I was spotted in the morning and some "forest police" came, but the guy was really nice and okay with me when I explained him my story. Then I walked to SS16, because if you will be spotted twice on the same autogrill station you probably will get a fine for trespassing, just sad italian highway experience.

nice elderly albanian couple who took me there. the spot is very good cause youre right in the middle of the road very visible and you can jump in the car quickly when theres not much traffic

nice if you stand before the roundabout so people can read your sign while driving slowly and have time to pull over at the gas station

Nice spot to Tirana, probably worth to have a sign in this place.

Really good spot. You can be clearly seen by drivers, and there is a lot of space to stop. I got a ride with a really nice guy all the way to Tallinn.

Absolutely the best spot towards Prague. Slow cars, good spot to stop, could be seen easily by drivers. Hitched from here a lot of times times and never waited here for more than 10 minutes. Only problem is getting here, but if you can convince your driver to drop you off here, you are guaranteed to get nice ride.

A guy drove me from Belgrade to IKEA, there is a nice gas station where you can hitch further south. Its unlikely you'll end up here, but if you do its a great spot
