Not so much traffic and mostly just to Gothenburg. There is a bus going every 10 minutes to GBG. We wanted to go past GBG, further south, and so after a lot of waiting we got a ride which moved us a bit closer - to Klareberg rastplats. The CircleK gas station is without much life.rating: 2/5, wait: 90 min 🪧, ride: 34 km ↓

2persons. We were aiming to go towards Norway. Everyone seemed to be only going to Gothenburg, eventually we found a girl that was going to Trollhättan and we decided to get dropped off in Bohus.rating: 5/5, wait: 70 min 💬, ride: 42 km ↑

Not the best spot, but at least cars drive slow and are able to stop. My ride was on his way to Kvissleby but was a big help by bringing me a little further on the E4 to Myre Diner. I had to wait for over an hour there (but would probably be faster if you had the guts to approach many people and ask for a ride) but then got a ride all the way to Gothenburg.rating: 3/5, wait: 30 min 👍, ride: 19 km ↓

Little space to pull over except a crappy bit of grass, but it worked! Hitching direct from the on ramp, ride in 15 mins north to Gothenburg. Boom. What was that about Sweden being crap for hitchhiking?rating: 5/5, wait: 15 min 👍, ride: 116 km ↑

Direction north to OsloEarly August, Saturday morning. 1030 Snapparp 30min for ride to Gothenburg. There are locals, Norwegian numberplates also. Medium, good frequency of new arrivals. Sign said "Norr pĂĄ E6".
But I walked around and approached people.

Senseless. Barely cars go this direction. Not many grounds for car to pull by as well cuz it's just an entrance to the highway. Stay here back and forth for 3 hours try to get a ride down south but no luck. Take a bus instead to Gothenburg with €5.Try to avoid it if you get a ride to Sarpsborg get off to gas station before driving up to the exit, it will help

It's normal gas station on the way towards Helsingborg, Gothenburg, Stockholm. I got a lift there in the late afternoon, waited about 10 mins because of rain, then tried the first people going out from the gas station and asked them. I was lucky - they were from Luxembourg and going towards Stockholm. Spent with them 2 days and next day in the afternoon arrived in Stockholm. It's worth trying it, maybe better than to get into Helsingborg.―Saaaky, September 2016

It's a great spot, but it seemed most drivers are local, so if you go far it might be preferable to write Helsingborg and get of at Glumslöv petrol station. Waited 1 hour to get a ride to Gothenburg in the afternoon.―Plettelr, September 2016

Difficult to get a car because there is no spot for them to pick you up, but you can try. I didn't get a ride to Gothenburg so I went to other spot―Anonymous, June 2016

Not overly busy, but easy to reach from Gothenburg. Some people going south. Everybody able to leave you at the next gas station ~10 km south is helping.―Santa klaus, January 2016

Good spot as cars are slowing down. 15 minutes to get a ride to Gothenburg with a guy going to Malmo!―Isskaa, November 2015

Great place. Was offered a ride to Gothenburg within minutes but needed to go south, which just took me a few more.―Pletter, September 2015

Seems like a perfect place for shorter rides like Lund or Helsingborg. Standing with a sign saying "Göteborg" didn't get me anywhere in two hours. Eventually I changed to "Helsingborg" and got a ride within 20 minutes (to Gothenburg..)―Pletter, September 2015
