The only decent spot when headed north from Skriveri is here, long bus stop, there's a curve before tho so beware that drivers don't have longest of time to make decision, but speeds are slow, some cars use this road to get from a6 to p80, so you can still catch rides to Riga, wait time of 15 minutesrating: 4/5

Lots of traffic, but a lot of them still go to Riga or nearby, also very inconvenient for cars to stop, but the rides are coming pretty decently 10-30 minutesrating: 4/5

Don't get fooled by the name, but actually it's a mainhub with cars going both directions to Riga or to Estonia, more likely towards Estonia since all the locals from Pärnu county buy their alcohol from here, wait time 20 minutes, good til 10pmrating: 5/5

Thought I'll get a fast ride to Riga. Waited for 2 hours and no one stopped (maybe I wasn't visible enough because it was getting dark, but I've tried diffrent locations). Decided to take a bus.rating: 1/5, wait: 120 min 🪧

Traffic is crazy. Cars dont have much space to stop there but if they decide to they can handle it. It was worth walking this far. I took a bus from Riga to Ādaži. An Estonian truck driver gave me a ride.rating: 5/5, wait: 40 min 🪧, ride: 179 km ↑

Cars go VERY fast but can see you from a long distance. Wouldn’t recommend though - many locals and not many people going to Riga/Panevezys. Try to get to a nearby gas station and ask around - it worked for us and we got a ride to Panevezys very fast.rating: 2/5, wait: 45 min 🪧, ride: 2 km ↖

Great spot to Riga! We took 3g - 87 buses from the city and got off at the DEPO, from there its a short walk. Drivers can see the spot from the traffic light and can stop in the small bus stop. We only got a ride to Ukmergé but it was on a holiday with generally low traffic.rating: 5/5, wait: 20 min, ride: 80 km ↖
