Towards Italy, mainly to Trieste/Barcola area, this is the road that the locals take, they come to Slovenia to fill up their cars, motorcycles etc and use the entrance road in about 500 meters to go to the highway, decent traffic, mostly Italians, wait times of 5-15 minutes expected, way better than anywhere else around Sežana

Honestly one of the best spots of my life. A lot of cars, you see them coming from far away, many tourists. A couple of Hungarians drove me to Ljubljana. I had a sign "LJ - Zagreb" and came there using a local bus from Trieste (check the number on Google maps, I do not remember).

Not a good spot if you are trying to get towards Slovenia or Trieste. Accessible by foot but most of the traffic seems to go the airport (some people drive by fast just to cut the congestion line to turn right onto the airport) had a sign saying Possiomo Autogrill (next gas station) and after 2-3hr we gave up, first time giving up a spot wouldn’t recommend and there’s accouple of cop car who stopped here but didn’t bother us thankfully.

Tried to go to Trieste. A local brought me on the highway. The spot is quiet okay. Not a lot of traffic but everybody can calmly see the sign after the roundabout. Sign is mandatory

Accessible by foot from the S D di Piave city (where I got dropped off the previous evening) + possible to pitch a tent in the woods nearby. Got a lift halfway through Trieste. Great spot and lots of people/trucks going through

Was hitchhiking here at the end of the gasstation trying to go towards Trieste. Italians don’t like hitchhikers and after 90 minutes i gave up (it was late). I spoke to a truckdriver earlier who said he was going to Ljubljana the next day (which is where i needed to go) and i asked if he could take me the next day. We agreed to meet at 5 in the moring, so i camped in the bush behind the gasstation. When i was there the next day at 4:45, he was gone.

Perfect spot to go to Trieste, I just asked around and found a Ukrainian family going to Rijeka that even dropped me in the city center. Too kind!

Good spot, lot of cars afternoon going to Venice or Trieste direction. We (couple) had a sign Venice/Verona and a young guy took us directly to Padova to the centre and bought us a drink afterwards.

Very small traffic here, just trucks and few cars and people are not so friendly. We were waiting for the car for almost 2 hours and finally one older couple took us (2) to Trieste train station, where we took a public transport to the Barcola part of city, where was a good traffic.

Not a lot of people came by, but the ones that did were mostly kind. And one of them gave us a ride back to Trento Sud to go south on our way to Trieste. If you stay there long enough you will probably get a ride east through Valsugana.

Tons of traffic in the right direction towards pula. Stand in front of the bus stop so drivers can pull in. I’m assuming it would be good for trieste as well

Not to much traffic leaving, lots of people not going to Trieste even though that is what was written on the sign. A police man stopped to talk to me but said it was ok to stay if I stayed at the rest stop and did not walk onto the highway.
