I was there solo man. First I tried it with sign Tokyo (just joke) but didn’t go well… so I change it to Debrecen and in 5 minutes I get ride to Cluj. There is small bus stop where is enough space for cars and also is it right after traffic lights.

its a good spot to Debrecen, lots of cars are going there, but its not the best for Miskolc or Slovenia. Its better to ask a drivers.

I was waiting with Miskolc sign and got a ride really fast. There is planty space to stop and there is also traffic lights so people can see you and go slow. Best spot do Miskolc or Debrecen. (1 girl)

You should NOT hitchhike here. First there is always heavy traffic on this road and the cars have very little space to stop so it is dangerous.

Second: car at this spot goes to very different directions. Some will take the highway, some will go to north some to east.

It is an extremely inpractial spot. You should go couple hundred meters to east either to the highway intersection (if you'll go towards Budapest or Debrecen) or to over the big roundabout under the bridge.

Honestly I have no idea why people would use this spot.

Hometown of UTCABETYAR. Two main roads (33,34) converge. There is a lamp. This is a bus stop. I prefer to walk to the end of the city towards Hortobágy, Debrecen.

Still a great spot to catch ride to Hungary, but remember, that around 2020 they opened new highway few km north.
So over here there is less traffic, but still good.
We got ride to Debrecen, and were stuck for 2h because wanted to go to Slovakia

On Saturday morning it is not a busy gas station but I got a direct car to Debrecen after 30 minutes. Although it is diffucult place becasue you have to check the cars by the gas station, behind the gas station and at the door of the McDonalds. So you will run a lot between these 3 places, but you will catch a car to east (Miskolc, Debrecen, Nyíregyháza) and north (Salgótarján) really easy.

I got a car from here to the Parktiker by the border of Budapest after 20 minutes. This place is not the best for a car to east. A lof of car came around the streets nearby, so if you catch here a direct car to Miskolc or Debrecen you are really lucky. But as I said, you can get a car to the next two stations by the OMV by Kacsóh Pongrác or by the Praktiker near Gödöllő. From there you have a easy ride.

For those who are stuck at Szolnok and are trying to get a lift towards Debrecen or Romania, this bus stop is a good spot to take a bus to Szajol (direction Torokszentmiklos) and h-hike from there!

Bus stop outside Szajol, direction Debrecen-Oradea-Cluj, on the number 4 highway. I got here from Szolnok taking a bus to Torokszentmiklos (paid 370 forints, but if you pay for Szajol, must be less than that).

From the centre of Szolnok, I walked East and then South over Tisza river (road 442, Kertesz ut.), then turned left at the roundabout and took a bus to T-miklos from a bus stop.

Petrol station is behind the acoustic bars, so there is no place to hitchhike there. We moved back to the motorway, there is a piece of grass before the exit to petrol station. We catch a car to Debrecen in 10 minutes. However, not a very safe spot to stand.
