Heading towards Geneva with a sign. Got a ride with an Afghan man going to Geneva in 15 minutes standing at the exit. Lots of people going long distances and got a lot of smiles and waves. Would recommend to get out of Basel towards Geneva, Lausanne, Zurich etc.

Not a lot of traffic on sunday afternoon. No space for cars to stop and bad visibility. Due to construction work in summer 2026, there is no real way to get away from there on foot. Most people are just moving inside of Geneva.

5 stars if you want to go into Geneva. Four cars stopped but noone wanted to go further. Kind of stuck in a parking lot without good ways of getting out on foot

Fastest ride ever. Wanted to go to Geneva, so I asked a car with F number plate. He took me.

It is not realy good spot but it gets a job done + its not that dangerous and it is okey if you stop cars going from down to you.
Lot of people also starts here going to Geneva (not only Lausanna)

Great spot, a lot of traffic. I stayed at the exit from the gas station with a sign (Geneva) and my friend was asking people in front of the restaurant. We hitched a nice army lady, she took us to the exact place we wanted to visit near Geneva.

Left the car with a sign saying "Geneva," and a guy approached us immediately. He took us all the way to the centre of Geneva.

It’s a quite good spot. I waited on the on-ramp of the highway. Many cars coming, enough space to stop. In the first 10 minutes 3 or 4 cars stopped, but they didn’t went my direction. I wanted to go to Geneva/switzerland. In the end I got offered a ride to Mulhouse or be dropped off at a rest area towards Geneva. I took the ride to Mulhouse and the guy even drove me to Basel (bale) to the train station. I even met someone else hitchhiking there at the same time, so cool!

Having hitchhiked a lot out of geneva, it is so much better to just go straight to the bardonnex douane than trying from here. Either just take transit, or like me rent a donkey bike, which can be returned in the small towns close to the douane. To get into the douane there is just a small gate to the west, out of sight, that can be jumped easily

I always take this spot to go to Yverdon/Lausanne or further (Geneva or France). There is not as many cars as you would imagine, but at some point people stop, and there is plenty of room for them to stop :)

Not a lot of place to stop but best spot to leave Sallachances toward Lyon. Many people will go to Geneva, i recommend to stop at a gas station or a toll on the way

Good spot to Geneva and french alps. Ask people directly (the same as in any gas station)

Traveling alone. Tried both sign and thumb+sign.
Came all the way here from Lyon center. It was NOT worth it.
Tons of traffic, but very few cars going towards Geneva (or they simply did not want to take me)
Early in the morning it probably works better because many people work near Geneva and live in Lyon

I just landed in Geneva Airport and tried to get BlaBlaBus to Grenoble, but it got canceled :/
So I just found this spot on Google maps and decided to give it a try. There's enough space for cars to pull over, but not for trucks. And the road turns directly to the highway.
A lot of French drivers, who work in Geneva and live in France go this way. Took some time but got a great company on the way and it was easier once in France.
