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 uprating: 3/5, wait: 60 min 💬+🪧

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.rating: 4/5, wait: 10 min 🪧

Cars are driving slow and there was enough traffic. Also, enough room to stop. A van stopped and took me to Kaunas from here.rating: 5/5, wait: 5 min 👍, ride: 210 km ↓

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.rating: 4/5, ride: 140 km ↙

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.rating: 4/5, wait: 65 min 👍

Direction north, if you got stuck around Akademija area and can't be bothered to take busses you can get way faster out around here, the side of the road is already wide and used for stopping cars, if you get a local car going somewhere in Kaunas, ask for Mega, it is very easy from Mega store to walk to a hitchhiking spots to out of Kaunas, give it a try, wait time of 5-20 minutesrating: 4/5

Towards Prienai, Kaunas, during daytime use this area where cars turn out from the petrol station, low speeds either way, good visibility and convenient for cars to stop, during nighttime, you have to stay around the entrance of the petrol station as about there the street lights end, wait time of 5-30 minutes to be expectedrating: 5/5

This is a very good spot to get out towards north from Kaunas, use thumb instead of a sign, at least I recommend doing so, lots of traffic, trick is to stay a bit further past bus stop so drivers can see you way earlier, never waited longer than 20 minutes hererating: 5/5

At first I was holding a sign for Kaunas, but then I decided to use my thumb. The first car that stopped was a Lithuanian who was going to Vilniusrating: 5/5, wait: 30 min, ride: 219 km ↗

Probably the best spot to go to Kaunas, got picked up in like 3 minutes (maybe got lucky). There are a lot of cars but already they are going pretty fast. It easy to get from bus top "Gariūnai".rating: 5/5, wait: 3 min, ride: 98 km ←
