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.

Great spot lots of traffic east. Got picked up right away. Trying to go to Trieste and I got a ride about half way to a gas station just past portoguaro

Do not catch in this spot if you want to go to Trieste! We made this mistake and waited for an hour and a half until some friendly driver took us to a different spot. Many cars heading there actually go through Conegliano. Most people here go to Venice or Padua. Some people told us that it would be better for us to try to catch a ride on the other side of the road, but the pedestrian tunnel connecting the 2 stations was closed.

We stood here without a sign and got picked immediately towards Trieste. There is a lot of traffic and people notice you. The lady who took us told that in the past this spot was very known for hitchhiking.

Not much cars, at least on Sunday. The driver who had helped me here from Ljubljana came back to me to drive me to Trieste <3

Even though this spot was very praised, and there's nice markings by fellow hitchhikers on a traffic sign, I had to wait 1,5 h to get a ride towards Trieste. Even got middle-finger'd once. Gave up with using a sign in half an hour. After 1h 15min the first car stopped for me, but was going to Novo mesto. A while after that, a super nice and helpful Slovenian mother picked me eventually up and took me to the halfway and donated me some mixed nuts and drove home. And then she came back to me in order to drive me to Trieste!!! <3 so the wait was deffo rewarded

Cars did not stop for us, tried on 2 different days. We looked like casual backpackers, 2 people m and f. Signs written with Verona and Trieste.
We took a flixbus to Trieste in the rnd (it was cheaper than blablacar).

We were catching ride to Trieste, mostly locals stopped and offered ride to other cities in Croatia, but finally 2 Italians took us directly to Trieste

Not the best spot but it worked. Make a sign because cars can go to Zagreb/Trieste/Slovenia.
I get a ride to Pula with a sign

I waited like 6hours
90% we’re renting cars and were going back to the airport. People weren’t nice, very few smile. However no problem from employees.
Also all the trucks were going off the highway in the nexts exits or many to Austria but no towards Trieste.
I finally booked a BlaBlaCar to Trieste

Wrong spot if you want to go direction Trieste. Most of the car go opposite way.

Waited for almost 3 hours. I mean it’s Italy so was prepared to wait, but Italians really ignored me 100%, even though I had a sign (Trieste and Slovenia). After some reflection walked to a nearby auto grill, the one that is recommended here on the map.

It’s Italy, so always more difficult then elsewhere.. wanted to go (trieste) to Slovenia. After 3 hours a guy drove me 30 minutes in the right direction. Was in October, so no tourist season, so more difficult to find people. But it’s the best place out of Padova I think

I think is a good place to go South or to Trieste, we found a ride directly to Bologna that was our destination. Medium traffic but not a lot

After 1 hour waiting with a Trieste sign I decided to go to Rijeka. 30 mins later I got a ride there.
