Huge place to stop (with a no-way street) and people are going really slow at the exit of the roundabout. We got a ride to the petrol station on the A10 towards Lisbon.rating: 5/5, wait: 80 min

We stood there with a Lisbon sign starting around 14:15 and also asked people. It’s a fairly small gasstation and it was a Sunday so even less cars were coming through but on busy days I would say it’s worth a shot. We gave up after maybe two hours and are now taking a Blabla car to badajoz.rating: 2/5, wait: 120 min

A man took me here from Castelo Branco, he was very kind but this is not a very logical waiting spot towards Lisbon.Foggy day, 2 hours of daylight left, i waited on this narrow provincial road to Gavião/Abrantes with curious cows staring at me, then realized the nearby bigger road goes also to Abrantes, tried to walk but darkness and cars driving fast made it unsafe. So after a total of 3 hours, i came back to this spot and walked in the dark, intermittent torch on my hand. The third car stopped and took me to Abrantes train station (7:30pm last one).
Thank you torch.

Direction Coimbra. I was not going there (to Lisbon instead) however a young Spanish couple in a van stopped on that lane to offer me help, despite i was waiting on the lane to the highway. They were driving the very first vehicle who passed by and after i declined, no one else stopped. And no one really drove through my lane, so i walked back to Abrantes direction national road till a man picked me up for some km.rating: 5/5, wait: 1 min, ride: 105 km ↖

I was going to Lisbon and came here from Castelo Branco northern district by Linha Azul bus (1€). You should drop off before this road intersection, you'll have to walk back longer otherwise.I waited on the western side of this previously pinned point, facing Schreiber (look at the map).
After 20 minutes a spanish expat living in Coimbra picked me up. He's one of the many drivers avoiding the nearby highway. He dropped me near Vila Velha de Rodao where the road to Coimbra begins northwards. It was hard to leave that mentioned place, as no car enters the highway to Lisbon. So if you're here in Castelo Branco, make sure your driver doesn't take you to a village. Or choose a highway entrance.

Departure spot mainly to north (Fundao, Covilha) and you can also be offered Lisbon as destination, despite indications to it being on the entrance by the other side of the bridge and a more suitable way starts in Castelo Branco Sul (southern highway entrance). After 30 minutes they offered me Lisbon, then i had to wait one more hour to Alcains where a dutch expat dropped me towards the countryside. In case you get stuck in the afternoon you can opt for provincial buses to north by "Quinta da danca" stop 10 minutes away (walk Espanha direction then get down the bridge).rating: 5/5, wait: 90 min, ride: 27 km ↑

This may be useful if you're going to Lisbon at work days. Otherwise AVOID. I was unlucky to be lifted there while going to Madrid on Saturday. Absolutely pointless: gave up asking (after unsuccessfuly asking everyone at the spot), went to highway exit (nice point, much place to stop and slow traffic), find out that the traffic is extremely rare (one car/10-15 mins, lorries being very few of them). Luck sent me Portuguese guys with a direct ride to Madrid suburbs at the moment I was considering taking a bus (they say there is a stop nearby). Little bit less than 3h of waiting under the burning sun.―Anonymous, June 2019

we were two (boy and girl) and hitchhiked almost on the roundabout. After 15 minutes we got a ride direct to Lisbon. (Monday afternoon after Easter). We had 2 signs (one with the name of our destination and the second sign with "Por favor"). A lot of drivers responded to it.―Anonymous, April 2018

Arrived 20.12.2017. Basically all local traffic towards Setubal or south. Not a lot traffic on a Wednesday afternoon. Senseless to go East towards Spain. Better stay at previous one closer to Lisbon if heading Spain. In my opinion if you're heading south you might get a chance here, although most of the traffic just head to Setabul or around.―Anonymous, December 2017
