I initially stood at the exit but as it was getting late I decided to ask drivers instead. The second guy I asked took me to Vilnius

One male 40+, with a sign "VILNIUS" , one big and one small backpacks, dry but cloudy day. Going to Vilnius.
A very good space. A bus stop, with enough space even for a truck to squeeze in. Just before 9 in the morning. A perfect traffic, a car every 20-30 seconds. A van stopped after 15-20 minutes of waiting and took me all the way to Vilnius.
I got to this spot walking from the centre of Bauska.

One male 40+, with a sign "VILNIUS" , one big and one small backpacks, dry but cloudy day. Going to Vilnius.
A very good space. A bus stop, with enough space even for a truck, just after the entrance/exit to a petrol station. 8:45 in the morning. A perfect traffic, a car every 20-30 seconds. I barely started hitchhiking and a car stopped and took me to Bauska, where after 15 minutes I got another ride, all the way to Vilnius.
The only problem with this place is getting there. Before, from Riga, there is a highway, plus it's 20 kms from the centre. So no chance to walk there. I got a ride from my friend. But I guess there must be a bus from Riga, stopping there.

Here is a good spot because drivers have space for stopping. I stayed there with the sign : PANEVEZYS that vice-versa was VILNIUS, after 20 minutes of waiting one truck driver stopped when I showed sign PANEVEZYS, after he saw another side of my paperboard, he said that he could move me to Vilnius, and we go nice.

There is a bus stop: "Neilandi", the bus 26 go there from city and across the road is the sign of RIGA.
Firstly I try to hitchhiking with the sign Vilnius but after 30 min with no result, I change the sing to Bauska. After this in 5 min one driver stopped and bring me to Bauska

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.

Better spot than the gas station on the roundabout. There is plenty of room for cars to stop. Most of the drivers were locals, traffic from the roundabout usually goes the other directions. Got a ride to Vilnius.

nobody took me to panevezys in 2 hours. if youre headed to Vilnius, dont make the same mistake as me just take the train to Panevezys, it costs 3€ for a student. hitchiking from Siauliai in this direction isnt worth it.

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.

Awesome Lithuanian truck driver picked me up immediately from the rain, was heading to Vilnius. I hopped off in Panėvežys. The man was very helpful and just generally epic, he offered me water-coffee grounds-mix and crystalized ginger. Had "Rīga" on a sign.

We did not hitchike from the gas station but walked closer to the roundabout as there is still plenty of space for cars to stop and a truck driver took us to outskirts to Vilnius.

We had 1 hour before the bus scheduled bus, so we randomly tried our luck and literally in 1 minute a local lady took us back to Vilnius.

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 Vilnius

Not too much traffic. I was trying to get to Lithuania with a sign Litwa (Lithuania in Polish). Noone wanted to pick me up even though some truck drivers I knew was going to Lithuania. But after 30 min I found a guy with Lithuanian number plates to get me to Vilnius. Probably helped a lot that I spoke lithuanian to him as I am lithuanian.

Great spot towards Moletai, lots of cars go actually to Vilnius, at night it has lights which is another bonus however no the most traffic by then anymore, wait time of 5-10 minutes
