With a sign saying LT, got a ride to Kaunas within an hour. Definitely stand at the bus stop at the exit instead of the gas station parking, that way you’ll catch all the traffic.

Good spot to get a lift by lithuanian drivers - there is a roundabout before the spot so traffic is a bit slower. I stayed with sign Kaunas before "Taxi" road sign, as there is enough space to stop for drivers. Got direct ride to Kaunas within 10 minutes (but maybe I was a bit lucky). You can also try your luck by asking around at the gas station across the street.

A bus stop with enough space for cars to stop. Good spot if you want to get out of Augustów and go to Suwałki (which is eventually much better city to get a ride to Lithuania). Waited 25 minutes with sign Suwałki/Kaunas.

Bad spot for hitchhiking as speed is very fast, but drivers can see you from far away. After almost an hour of waiting got a ride to Kaunas

Long strip of gravel on the side of the road, even unsure drivers can take their time to think and stop (mines stopped a couple of hundred meters forward, almost didn't see them). Sign Kaunas, got ride to Kaunas. Solo female, Sunday morning.

Feels weird to hh long distance in the middle of the city and some drivers made annoyed gestures, but I got the ride and this should be the best space to go eastward with how the roads work here. Sign with kaunas (even though I wanted to go to Poland) would probably be very helpful here.

One of the better highway exits in Lithuania outside the big towns. Took a fairly short ride, would have waited for direct ride to kaunas hadnt it rained.

Good spot for Kaunas. Only thing that you have to use public transport to get here (bus 20)

After trying for 45 mins further on the Road we were lucky at the Traffic light and found someone who brought us to the Gasstation direction to kaunas

Good spot how to get to Lithuania. Infront of the gas station. After 25 mins guy called us from gas station and take us to Kaunas.

mostly local traffic. many lithuania cars but almost none stop. I declined 2 rides to marijampole in the hopes of getting a ride further but it was a mistake and i got stuck for 2 hours. its not a bad spot but i think i was just very unlucky. in the afternoon many lithuanians go back from shopping so in the end i got a ride to Kaunas.

a bit of traffic. haven't tried to go deeper, maybe it's better as people suggest. had a feeling that no one was going to kaunas/vilnius

less than 20 seconds. best spot for kaunas and klaipeda

You have to put in the work yourself, meaning if you (for example) want to get to Kaunas, then go up to the truck drivers that have allready stopped and just ask them if they want to take you, otherwise kind of hard to pull the cars off the highway into the gas station to pick you up

Tried here for 15min towards Kaunas in the evening. Didn't get a ride, though I would've gotten one to Vilnius after 10 min. Asking truck drivers and other people at the gas station hadn't worked for half an hour before changing to this spot.

Cars are driving slow and there was enough traffic. Also, enough room to stop. A van stopped and took me to Kaunas from here.

Not so many cars at the truck stop, had pretty quick luck with a PL sign. So this spot works and I do believe all the people saying its the best available in Kaunas, but I still dont like the 20min walk along the highway and how fast the cars are going here.

Good spot (visibility, car speed, stopping option), didnt have the best luck though, declined one lift to Iecava (30mins in) and took the bus to Bauska instead after an hour. If you want to go to Kaunas I'd expect the bus stop a bit further down the road (Cagas) to be better, as a lot of traffic (~75% on a Tue @ 3pm) is going to Baldone instead of going to the highway.

Probably the best spot to get out of Kaunas in this direction

Most cars were ignoring me but fortunately I found a ride to Kaunas
