A guy and a girl on a Tuesday morning with an arrow sign pointing to Hamburg/Kiel and a "HH" sign. This spot is good in theory, but there was only local traffic or people that ignored us. We also tried the other side of the road, further north, but it was also bad, even though there were more cars going to Hamburg.

A guy and a girl on a Monday evening with an arrow sign (in the direction of Hamburg). There is place for cars to stop, and traffic is dense and slow. A lot of local traffic though, but enough people going far as well.

A guy and a girl on a Monday evening with an arrow sign to get in the direction of Kiel and Hamburg. This is not the best spot, but I think it's bad enough for people to help you if you get here. We got a ride to Schuby (west of Schlewig) quickly.

A guy and a girl on a Monday afternoon with a "HH" sign (for Hamburg). This spot must be quite good to go further south as there is a lot of traffic, not just local. Despite all this, the only car that stopped quickly only got us to the motorway entrance, further east...

A guy and a girl on a Monday at noon without a sign. This spot should be ok, but we only got local traffic to Kolding. We got dropped at an even worst place... Might be better to ask around or wait for cars to Hamburg (HH plates).

The spot is good but for some reason I was waiting for 3 hours until a guy took me to near Hamburg.

It wasn't that good for me. But I had a sign for Hannover, lots of people going to Hamburg or direction Bremen. Lots of full cars and old couples who don't want to atop. Asking around should work better though.

Lots of cars were full, but then I found a Romanian guy driving home. He was a bit sketchy, so I only went with him until Hamburg.

If you want to go to Hamburg, this is a good spot. Either stand by the road with a sign or ask people at one of the two gas stations.
For going to Hannover or just west, this is not a good spot.

Only people going in the northern direction. Very good spot for going there, but not so good for going to the south (Hannover or Bremen).
Waited 2 hours to get a ride to there, eventually got dropped of in centre of Hamburg.

Okay spot, but not very great.
Best to ask around, I stood at the end of both ways to catch all the cars leaving the spot. Got a ride that went to Hamburg but I got off before OsnabrΓΌck

Waited here to get a ride to Hannover but didn't work. Almost everyone goes to Hamburg so we took a ride to there instead.
Would recommend not to try to Hannover from here

Solo female, under heavy rain. Sign to Hamburg, asking around in the gas station, the parking lot and the McDonald's door. Was lucky to get a car this fast given the circumstances.

Asked around with sign Hamburg. Lots of cars, and trucks too, calm. Most people, specially trucks, going towards Hannover, but still possible to go direction Hamburg.

Spent almost three hours asking people for a ride with my 'Hamburg' sign. Eventually I got tired and moved to the exit of the station area β€” within 20 minutes, I caught a ride to RΓΈdby.

After waiting 4,5h in Peschiera, I was brought here. This service area is quite big and very good to go northwards. I asked truck drivers and others at the gas station, but went to the service shop after 5min. I met two Danes who were traveling from Milano to Kolding, so I got a long distance ride for over 1000km in 14h to Hamburg.

I got a sense that it wasn't the best spot, but I was extremely lucky to be picked up by a nice Spanish guy going to Hamburg Airport. For me, this spot worked better than the nearby Burger King.
