Towards Rezekne, even though the sideroad seems to be used just by locals, the cars turning will most likely due to 0 speed just stop for you and take you further, so far the only good spot near Daugavpils, here you'd get a car within 30 minutes

First decent spot going towards Rezekne from Daugavpils, but still no luck, even if there is a speed camera, 50km/h zone and a very good bus stop for stopping, it just didnt work out, ended up going for the Mazie Stropi side road, where I got a direct ride immediately, hitching out from anywhere in Daugavpils is quite difficult, wait times of 60+ minutes to be expected for sure, good luck out here

Towards LV, Daugavpils, the border is amazing. Due to the current events most of the lorries are headed on A13 to one of the Russian border points, which means that every lorry gets inspected by the border guards. Due to that all the normal cars that do use this crossing drive super slow, get stuck behind manouvering lorries etc, therefore they have super good visibility on you when u stand on the border, wait times of 5-20 minutes expected, most likely first personal car with any space will give you a lift to Daugavpils the least

Direction Daugavpils. Cars all ~2 minutes but the road is more straight to the direction of vilnius so i assume some cars will go. My ride only takes me a few kilometers ahead. But stop is right bevore a turn so some cars even slow down a bit but there is no roof at the bus station.

Right after traffic lights there is plenty of space to stop the car and the speed there is quite low. Direction of Ogre, Daugavpils, Rzekne. With a sign you can even get a ride in direction of Tallin.

On way to Ogre, Aizkraukle, Daugavpils, Russian border. It's a busstop. After the bus stop is a parking place, but sometimes it is full - then better to hh before busstop and after traffic lights.
The cars have to slow down before either because of traffic lights or because of tram rails which cross the street before. Tram 7 or 9 can take you here from city centre. You can go further by bus, but many people think that starting this place and ending just in next town Salaspils is a place for prostitutes. So, don't forget your sign!
