spot right after traffic light makes people go slow and gives them time to consider taking you. traffic is good and that's basically the only way out of suceava towards radauti.

One male 40+, no sign, one big backpack, an autumn like day, chilly with on-and-off rain. On my way from Suceava to Reghin (successful). The place is pretty good. Really big tarmac bay where even lorries can stop. The visibility could be better coz it's not long after the curve, but isn't not too bad. Good amount of traffic. That day it was going really slowly. It took me nearly 5 hours and 6 rides to go the first 100 kms. I thought that I'd not reach my destination that day. But after the miserable morning and afternoon the evening was totally different. Not only the weather improved and it finally stopped raining, I also got one of the best rides in my life. After 25 minutes a woman stopped and took me all the way to Reghin. And she also offered me a place to stay there. It's the 3rd case in my my entire life. I also got a dinner and a breakfast. That ride saved my, otherwise miserable, day.

It took me nearly 5 hours and 6 rides to go the first 100 kms. The place is no good. It's a wider joining road, so not much space to stop. A road sign is obstructing visibility. It was raining. After 30 minutes I moved west and just after the turn I found a way better place. So, don't waste your time here as I did.

It took me nearly 5 hours and 6 rides to go the first 100 kms. After about 15 minuts walk from the village centre I've found this place. It's a resting area, so plenty of space to pull over, a bit limited visibility due to a curve, raining. Again a short waiting (1 minute), and again a short ride to the next village.

It took me nearly 5 hours and 6 rides to go the first 100 kms. After nearly half an hour walk I've found this place. In front of a car wash, some space to pull over, decent visibility, raining. Again a short waiting (4 minutes), and again a short ride to the next village.

It took me nearly 5 hours and 6 rides to go the first 100 kms. To avoid another long walk to an end of a town, I got off the main road and I came with my previous driver here. It was a good decision. Not only I visited the monastey, but also after a few minutes walk I was at the edge of the village hitchhiking. It took me only 2 minutes to get a ride, despite the fact it was raining and there was no space to stop (but the traffic was very quiet). I also got a bottle of wine (the driver belonged to non drinking church and he got it as a present). But once again it was a short ride to the next village 🙄

One male 40+, no sign, one big backpack, an autumn like day, chilly with on-and-off rain. On my way from Suceava to Reghin (successful). I was walking to the end the village and hitchhike. In 5 minuts I got a ride. Of course only to the next village. Again 🙄 (That day it took me nearly 5 hours and 6 rides to go 100 kms). In the end, to avoid the walk in Vama and most likely in Campulung, I decided to by bypass those places and I went with the driver to Vatra Moldoviței. Which was a very good decision. Plus I visited the monaster.

One male 40+, no sign, one big backpack, an autumn like day, chilly with on-and-off rain. On my way from Suceava to Reghin (successful). I walked to the end the village. I've found this spot which wasn't too good. Very little space to stop, quite busy traffic and rain. To my surprise after one minute a car stopped and I got a ride to the next village. Again 🙄 And the whole day was painful like that. Not only because of rain. But it seems that nobody goes long distances here. It took me nearly 5 hours and 6 rides to go the first 100 kms. A short ride, dropped in the centre of the next village, walk to the end of village, hitchhike, ride to the next village....

One male 40+, no sign, one big backpack, an autumn like day, chilly with on-and-off rain. On my way from Suceava to Reghin (successful). It's my second time using this spot, check the description in the previous review. This time I waited 20 minutes. But the whole day was a painful. Not only because of rain. But it seems that nobody goes long distances here. It took me nearly 5 hours and 6 rides to go the first 100 kms. A short ride, dropped in the centre of the next village, walk to the end of village, hitchhike, ride to the next village....

One male 40+, no sign, one small shoulder bag, a cloudy day (about to rain). On my way from Nowy Sołoniec to Suceava (successful). I got a short ride to this village and I started to walk to the end of it to hitchhike there. But then I thought I can put a thumb while I'm walking. A superb good decision it was indeed. The first car, within a minute, stopped and he gave me a ride all the way to Suceava, to the district I was heading to. It was a bolt driver (without the signs on a car). The ride was free.

One male 40+, no sign, one small shoulder bag, a cloudy day (about to rain). On my way from Nowy Sołoniec to Suceava (successful). I started walking from the village centre and hitchhiking when a car was passing (there weren't many of them). After a few hundreds meters and in less than 10 minutes I got a ride to the next village.

One male 40+, no sign, one small shoulder bag, a cloudy day (about to rain). On my way from Suceava to Cacica (successful). I was dropped at the nearby junction and starter hitchhiking while walking up north. After a couple of minutes I got a ride to Cacica. The guy wasn't going exactly to that village but he did a couple of extra kilometres and dropped me there.

One male 40+, no sign, one small shoulder bag, a cloudy day (about to rain). On my way from Suceava to Cacica (successful). A very good spot for those heading west. There are two extra tarmac lanes (an entry and an exit of some industrial company). Very rarely used. A few lorries can stop there. No shade. Decent visibility. There is no a payment for the last few hundreds meters, but the shoulder of the road is wide enough to walk there. I got a lift to Păltinoasa after 3 minutes.

One male 40+, no sign, one big backpack, a sunny afternoon. On my way from Iaşi to Suceava (successful). That road between Târgu Frumos and Botoșani is going slowly. People seem to go only to the next village and the traffic isn't very busy. Maybe the road through Fălticeni is faster. I was dropped in this village after another short ride. I was walking to the end of it to find a spot. It was getting late, so I decided to hitchhike while walking. And it was a very good decision. Whitin 10 minutes I got a ride at this spot all the way to Suceava.

People seem to go only to the next village and the traffic isn't very busy. Maybe the road through Fălticeni is faster. I was standing by the end of a village sign. There was only a very small bay, but the traffic was so quiet that there was no problem too pull over. Good visibility. No shade. The first car stopped after 7 minutes. The second after 40 and that one took me, of course, only to the next town (17 kms).

Quiet traffic, and cars go a bit fast. No shade. The first car stopped after 10 minutes. The second after 25 and he took me to Hârlău. He was kind enough to drop me at the end of that village.

One male 40+, no sign, one big backpack, a bit cloudy. On my way from Iaşi to Suceava (successful). I was hitchhiking a few hundreds meters farther from the centre for one hour. Then I moved to this spot. It was too urban for me, but I was proved wrong, coz after 20 minutes I got a lift to Târgu Frumos. The place is after a bus stop. There is a small parking with enough space to stop. Good visibility. Double lane. The cars go a bit slower than in my previous place.

One male 40+, no sign, one big backpack, a cloudy day. On my way from Iaşi to Suceava. In the end successful, but not this spot. The city didn't want to finish. Before I saw a couple of places, but there were too urban for me, so I kept walking until here. It's a wide entry into a field road, enough space to stop. A bit of bushes before, but not blocking visibility. The cars go fast. The traffic is busy. The road a few hundred metres before goes from double lane into a single one. This place was a proof for me that picking a spot has a crucial meaning if you get a ride or not. After one hour when nobody stopped I moved a few hundred metres back towards the Iaşi to a spot which before I considered too urban and there I got a ride after 20 minutes. You can go as well a bit more west. When in a car I saw a good spot after a roundabout. But this spot is NO use. To be avoided. I don't know what is wrong with this spot, but it doesn't work.

(2 people, f, 26 + m, 49) We split up. One of us approached drivers at the gas station while the other tried hitching from the side of the road. One car stopped and asked for money. Shorty after got a lift us to Suceava from the side of the road. The driver was very kind and took a huge detour. He brought us to the station just in time to hop on our train.

(2 people, f, 26 + m, 49) Tried our luck on Monday morning in the opposite direction. We decided that it's to hard to hitch to Putna from here and wanted to take the train from Suceava instead. Got a lift after ten minutes which took us half the way. There is a bakery and a convenience store on that corner. Traffic is slow and cars have plenty of space to stop.
