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 3€ 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!

rating: 5/5, wait: 20 min 👍, ride: 54 km ↗

Direction--->everywhere
Slow 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.

Really hard place to get to by foot, but nice place to find a car going north, when you are there

You need to climb a couple fences to get here. When you arrive at Settebagni(possible to blackride bus from Rome), go north-east to the tip of the town, and cross through some allotments, to get to the little road leading to a bridge over the highway. On the other sode of the bridge there is a gate, but the fence is ripped open on the right. Go through there and turn right on to the field, and cross it, over to the fence alongside the road. Climb that and follow the highway for a hundred meters, and you’re there!
We wanted to go to Firenze, but i guy picked us up towards Terni, where we thought we could get a ride to Firenze, but found the truckstop there to be awful. If you’re going to Firenze or further north, wait for a car going there instead of a car going half the way!!

I got a ride to Rome after 20 minutes. In the meantime, another guy going to Avezzano stopped as well.
Not great for cars to pull over, but traffic is heavy and relatively slow.

Southward works perfectly. I thumbed at the end of the gas station, when the road feeds back into the highway. Three people that were walking around the area even spontaneously offered me a ride. The third one was right for me, DIRECTLY to Rome, Italy.

Got a ride out of rome within a few seconds. I went towards germany and got a ride to Firenze.

Just talk to the drivers that bring their family members of friends to the airport. They also might pick up their friends. It is a very good spot.

A really good starting place for your trip out of Rome. I've used this one in July 2014 and had no problem getting there - a few comments above some1 posted some very useful directions as to how to walk there from Settebagni. We didn't wait 15mins and caught a car straight to Firenze.

we found a car pretty fast and went to Siena. we were standing exactly on the main road with an exit to autostrada to rome. you can find a car to rome but dont stand under "no autostop" sign-we were there police came and asked us to move to different place.

hello therewe went trough the bushes and it was ok. but remember, if you need to go out of Rome you need to cross to another side of the A1 road just use the tunnel under it (the tunnel is just behind the petrol station) we were 2 girls and we stopped the car in 20 min and we were lucky enough cause we took just one car directly to perugia. Good luck! and thanks for the map

Last service station before Rome except city circle highway. Lot of traffic is going through this place. You can also cross by pedestrian tunnel to the northbound site. Good camping in the fields at the northbound site. Got a ride into Rome within an hour.

This is the best place to hitchhike from Pisa in direction of Firenze (but it works also to Rome, and Milan, north and south). It's a gas station on the highway. You can reach it with a public bus that you take in front of the Train Station in Pisa. You have to stop in Via Marcello Malpighi (Ospedaletto), and from there walk through the field. I put another point on the bus station. The 4th car picked us up, and all of them were very friendly, that is not very common in Italy. You might need to change several cars in the highway, because lots of people go to villages nearby.

We were two (boy and girl) and we got a ride Rome with an old couple, don't try to ask people in the middle of a day they are shy try to stand with a sign near by the exit. BTW, the way to theenterence of this gas station is passing inside a private property but no problem nobody is there anymore ;)

Got a ride all the way to Rome! Maybe it was lucky...most the traffic really is local.

Decent place if you're on the A14 going South, North or trying to get to Rome via the Adtriatic.
