Technically illegal, I was behind the bollards with a sign to Karlsruhe in a deep rain with traffic jam making the speed there to be like max 20km/h, got a car with 5 minutes, but probably wiser to stay somewhere else( unless huge traffic jams would happen)

rating: 3/5

A lot of cars to the west. A car stopped for me right after I started to wait (?) with a sign saying Karlsruhe. I did not wait for a minute. I was lucky.
They drove me to Karlsruhe.
There is a good space for a car to stop for you.

I met an absolute gentlemen offering to take me to north-west Italy across a two-day journey. While I was heading in a different direction, I did manage to head down to Karlsruhe with him. Great spot! Thanks J.!

On a sunday evening with not a lot of traffic. Got a ride quickly. Stood on the end of the station with a sign. And a guy in a brand new Mercedes took us past Karlsruhe to a gas station. Good for going north.

Talked to the people there directly. Most people going towards Stuttgart with A6 but someone accepted to make a small détour (10 minutes) to take us to Karlsruhe !

We were trying to get towards Freiburg. Most cars were going towards Stuttgart so not the best stop for this direction but we got a ride after about an hour bringing us before Karlsruhe

A lot of people going to Karlsruhe, some were going to switzerland and after 35min we found our ride to Freiburg. It was already 5pm and I suppose earlier we would have been luckier.

Swung a sign with Nord A5 written on it. Waited quite some time, had a chat with friendly staff offering me food and drinks and was taken by a couple to Karlsruhe. Overall an okay experience. The spot is good tho, a lot of cars refilling at the gas station

Couple with a panel indicating Stuttgart/Karlsruhe. Not many cars stopping at the gas station. We changed place to go more in the city (before the bridge over the railways) and finally get caught after waiting more than one hour.

We got a ride for two hitchhikers going past Karlsruhe after standing by the road for about 40 min with a sign saying "Süden" and a smiling melon

This exact spot, in the curve when two exits meet, is only for North! South exit is at the other end of the station. Walk around and read the boards carefully first! Huge resting area, filling station plus restaurant, but few cars stopped for us. Nearly impossible to get to France with one ride from here, none of the French drivers gave us a lift. Accept offers to Karlsruhe!
2 persons (me & my girlfriend), Sunday, dir. France, 2 hours.

Towards Karlsruhe. One of the spots with the biggest chance towards West in Stuttgart, I think. Though, it is not easy to get here by public transport from the city centre. 2 persons (me and my girlfriend), Sunday morning, Karlsruhe, 15 mins.
