I have hitchhiked at this spot many times. It is my prefered spot when hitching out from Lausanne to any direction. When going East or towards Fribourg or Bern, I usually stay a few meters below the south highway entrance (Dir. Bern), just when the road splits in 3. When hitching West or towards Neuchâtel, I usually stay at the north entrance, as well right when the road splits in 3 again. Usually wait times are around 20-40 minute.rating: 4/5, wait: 25 min 🪧, ride: 26 km ↘

Took me a while to find this spot and after some time I got a lift in the direction of Bern, to Gunzgen Nord service station, just after Oftringen.However, not many cars go to the highway from here, many continue straight in the roundabout, possibly going to the directions of Zurich and Basel, but I'm not so sure.

I'd say great spot, even when I waited 50 mins ... Over the time like 20 cars had the Bernese license plates, so not too many, but this is the best way how to get from Zurich to west, in my case Bern (with a sign)rating: 5/5, wait: 50 min 🪧, ride: 87 km ←

It's a pretty okay spot to get into the Jura (JU sign really helps), especially when work hours are ending. Not at all a good spot in direction Bern, very few people are going that way.rating: 3/5, wait: 10 min, ride: 30 km ↑

Eventually we thumbed at the road behind the toll station. For us asking around at the parking lot did not work for going towards Bern.rating: 2/5, wait: 90 min, ride: 71 km ↓

afternoon, trains weren't working anymore (accident) and there are no buses in direction to Bern, so I hitch hiked. I found a place were cars could stop right after and the second car stopped immediately. They left me at the first bus stop in Köniz, (the person wasn't going to Bern)rating: 5/5, wait: 3 min, ride: 5 km ↗

I hitchhiked 20m before the bridge as there is a bike track that makes it slightly more convenient for cars to stop. Was going toward Bern. Got picked inn 15 min.―Anonymous, August 2019
