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.

I have been here twice, both times with a great experience. Once I got a lift all the way to southern France, but recently I got a ride to Bern.

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.

It's a nice place inside the city. I got there by walking. There is a nice hitchhiking monument. I got a direct lift to Bern quite quick

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)

Waited 15 mins and got a ride directly to Bern... Even though there's not much traffic through the petrol station, everyone goes Bern direction

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.

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.

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)

We tried to get a direct to Bern or Zurich from here, but struggled a lot. Then we wrote Lausanne on our sign and found a driver within 20 to 30 minutes

Kinda awkward/fun with the slow traffic speed, but very effective. Got a ride towards Bern (got out earlier to head towards Biel)

Got picked while eating my sandwich with my sign saying Bern next to me. Didn't have the time to finish my sandwich.

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.
