It's an okayish spot: there's this place to stand and cars can stop (either close to where you are or quickly going inside the gas station). The roundabout exit to the highway gives way both to Perpignan and to Girona/Barcelona. We (M&F) couldn't get a ride after waiting for an hour in the early afternoon, holding a sign that said "Barcelona". We didn't ask in the gas station, though, but we saw many people stop there, including trucks.

There is a lot of cars some Spanish some from Netherlands but most of them are French so it’s best to know French. First day we could find no one to go with towards Spain so we slept under a trees close to gas station. Second day we asked for one hour and we met Spanish dudes and they took us close to Perpignan.

A lot of traffic. We stood behind the toll station with a Perpignan sign. After 10 minutes we had a ride. If you want to get on the a9 this is a really good option. I don’t know if it is reachable by foot

Me, my LOVE and our dog were here for quite a long time and were prepared to sleep in the Forrest for the night. However at the most unexpected time a car stopped and took us to La Junquera even though we had a sign with Perpignan. But since on the way and our destination is Portugal we took it! Lucky us since we are two with backpacks and a dog……:)

Good spot, waited a bit longer than expected, but worth it. A couple took us to Perpignan, directly in front of our accomodation. We (2) had a sign Perpi, because of space in our notebook.

A lot of traffic going around, but mainly locals, so we (2) made a sign Nîmes, to continue from town to town. There we continued through Montpellier and Perpignan.

Good spot to stop someone who goes to Arles or maybe further. With a sign Arles it was easy. There we continued through Nimes, Montpellier and Perpignan.

Direct way to Arles, but on national road, not highway. Young guy took us to nearest town, where we continued through Arles, Nimes, Montpellier and Perpignan.

Pretty fine place, lot of traffic. Two guys took us a bit further to the end of Marseille, where we continued through Arles, Nimes, Montpellier and Perpignan. Had a sign Arles.

I often use this spot, I wait between the lanes at the toll, which is forbidden but that's really far more efficient than waiting before the parking lot. Anyway, no workers at this entrance so they won't say anything. Just once (among the 30 times i hitchhiked) the police passed by and "asked" me to move. I usually do not use a sign because there are several options (gas stations) to stop between here and Montpellier or Narbonne/Perpignan/Toulouse.

A lot of the Cars go to Narbonne. Not ideal if you want too go to Perpignan.

We had to wait the next train coming in 50min so we decided to try hitchhiking ,and someone took us directly to Perpignan.

i was standing literally between two entrances of the toll, and with a sign to perpignan, in 5min, a car picked me up immediately they were going to spain, so im sure you can aim further a guy with hithhiking there just before me, he waited propably 10/15min, with out a sign, so i dunno where he was going great spot some cops pass by me and said nothing i was a bit paranoid

Asked the first French number plate I saw and they took me just above Perpignan where I got another lift within 5 mins to Toulouse. This location also has a 24h cafe so I slept in there overnight

Quite a long wait for a ride to Perpignan for that much cars. Asking around is probably better here.
