Exceptional spot for going to Bucharest. My girlfriend and I sat down on the gas station exit and ate a sandwich with our sign in front of us, and a guy picked us up before we finished the sandwich!

One guy that was heading to Bucharest airport gave me a ride. Very friendly and funny ride. You have the Carrefour parking lot exit there and an extra lane to the car stop.

Perfect spot to go both Bucharest and Craiova direction. Enough place for a truck to stop. Cars going slowly because of the round about. Some people might not be nice but the right ride will come!

Waited a bit over an hour, started near McDonald’s but got harassed so moved further. People were nice even though they couldn’t give us (2 girls) a ride. Got finally picked up by a nice truck driver and got to Bucharest!

There is a small town and it's just over de border crossing. There are cars that drive more into Romania, so I think it could be a good spot. But when we were there, there were not many cars. We almost wanted to give up for the day but got super lucky and could drive with someone to Bucharest. So if you are lucky there are people driving further into the country.

First car we asked gave us a ride to Brasov. The spot seemed great with lots of traffic both towards Brasov and Bucharest, if you can manege to get a ride here then it's probably the best spot in Sibiu.

If you can get a ride here then it's good for going in the direction of Timisoara or even Bucharest if you're lucky. We caught a ride to Lugoj from here. There's not a lot of room for the cars to stop, but the Romanian drivers don't seem to care.

Best place to hitchhike towards Bucharest, works best with a sign, as everywhere in Romania.

Got dropped by the border. While walking to the highway, a guy stopped and picked us up until Bucharest just by seeing our backpacks.

Got a great ride from Lukoil gas station by 2 Macedonian guys travelling Europe. Later randomly met them in Bucharest as well, so got a ride to Sibiu with them 2 days later.

Direction: South-Constanta: E87
South West- Slobozia- E87-22A(national road)-E60

there is it about 50 m length and 3 m width to stop.
me and a girl from Lituania.it started with a sign and it was between 12 and 2 pm in july 2014.
no more than 10 minutes and find a ride directly to Bucharest with TM car plates.
