Very easy spot to leave Pesaro without going far away. I started hitchhiking here to play music in the streets of Rimini recently and got 5 rides in less than 10 minutes - especially in the mid-afternoon with less traffic. A lady even turned back at the roundabout to pick me up in the morning. They averagely dropped me in Cattolica or Misano as furthest.Compared to drivers in next towns, people here are more smiley, reactive and interested in conversation. Still, they'll go out of their way, like a girl who drove 30 more kms just to exchange ideas.
Come here by bus 30, 130, 14 (direct) or CS (10 minutes walk).

The review on the north side pin is really accurate! The gate on the south side was open when i came, showers are working either at the petrol station and downstairs the restaurant on this side.Δ° tried my first solo tablediving here thanks to a cute american family sitting next to me wasting a big rice mozzarella dish.
Nearly 10 drivers stopped but they all were going north, a truck driver polish lady came to offer me food, a man stopped just to show me his drum while i was playing mine :D i really didn't wish to leave this service station however after 5 hours waiting for a ride to east (Rimini) i gave up 7pm and accepted the next ride offer.

Got a ride to Bologna after 30 minutes of smiles.Invest 1,50β¬ by Roger app to get bus 9 from Rimini station to San Vito or train to Santarcangelo and walk from the last stop. Stand before the "no autostop". A young guy saw his wanderer friend in me and picked me up. Traffic is chilled but could be busy in rush hours.

Narrow toll entrance road, illegal to stop after the roundabout, carpooling happens on the exit side of the toll booth. If you stand at the roundabout, then you miss the cars coming from Urbino. I would recommend this spot only in case of low traffic. Go to other wider toll booths otherwise. Marotta, Riccione, Rimini North (Santarcangelo station). I'm heading to Rimini north by train, let's see how it goes :)rating: 3/5

I arrived from Fabriano and continued towards Rimini. Friendly people waving and smiling from cars and buses. There's lane enough to stop within the roundabout. A family picked me up.As long as it gathers drivers from Jesi and Fabriano free highway, this spot serves the south direction too. If not, Ancona south toll can be better.
See you in 5!

Direction Ancona and north. Recommended spot if you leave Camerino. Not sure about the new SS256 Pedemontana road - try it and let us know.I came here by direct bus from Camerino 3β¬ via Contram app. Don't follow GMaps, no one crosses Albacina. A lot of viewability + space to stop, no police. It's legal to hitch here. To Rome, Fabriano west works better.
The first 2 cars offered me 20km, so i waited. A woman entered the free highway and came back >10km to pick me up :D
A really easy day. Got 4 rides up to Rimini!

Direction--->everywhereSlow cars and vans from the ships/cruises are about to start their journey, most of them smiled or waved at me. Also those driving from "parking north" (opposite the ship i was in) pass by here. As less long-range drivers and tourists pass by there, I don't think the yellow northern spot on this hitch-map could be more strategic.
If the lane on the right is closed, you can stand and wait. Just be respectful of traffic and police will tell you nothing. Some tourists asked me for info and wished me good luck.
Nearby buses regularly connect the train station. 9:30am to Vatican and Rome.
A very young guy took me to Rome after 2h when i hid my sign to Rimini, however i could have waited longer for a further ride.

An extremely busy Autogrill! So many German cars going both North and South. For some reason though quite difficult to get to Bologna from here and close to IMPOSSIBLE to go East towards Rimini.You can ask people directly where they're going or stand with a sign at the exit of the gas station (less effective).
According to my calculations the peak traffic was reached at 1 pm with an average of 60 cars passing in the Southern direction and 40 in the Northern (yes I spent the whole day here, it was this comfy + nice view).
The grocery shops on both sides of the road are so busy you can easily get away with taking any food/drinks and going upstairs with it to the restaurant (Didn't want to risk too much and only got 1 pack of chocolates 4 euro worth).
Tablediving is indeed extraordinary here! Mostly due to presence of many wasteful Americans XD
Can't vote for the free showers though, doubt it's still a thing.
Not sure if you can camp nearby this place but there are some pretty thick trees at the boot of the hill (some fences have to be jumped over to get there).

I waited 90 minutes but i think i was just unlucky. Three cars stopped for me but all were going to South and i wanted to go to Bologna. There are enough place for the cars to stop, you can hitchhike before the no autostop sign so its not illegal to do it here. The other entrance to the highway in Rimini is now under construction so probably its the best spot to hitchhike up to the highway for both direction.rating: 5/5, wait: 90 min, ride: 126 km β

Enough place for the cars to stop but as everywhere in Italy, its difficult to get a lift. I tried with a sign to Rimini. After 30 minutes i got a lift.rating: 4/5, wait: 30 min, ride: 12 km β

a gas station just outside rimini and it's good for either north or south, however, you got to stay at the entrance, since the staff is very hostile towards hitchhikersβAnonymous, July 2016
