Absolute banger. Directions of Basel/Zürich. You just take your sign, sit on a fence and wait. Tons of space to stop, lots of cars and they are slow because of the traffic light.
Also it is a spectacular view from the bridge if you are going from the bus station (10-15 minutes away btw)

Really good spot to go to Schaffhausen or Zürich because there are a lot of cars going in this direction and the cars can pull over very easy. We were 2 men.

Really good spot to go to Winterthur or Zürich, the cars can pull over easily and they don't come too fast because of the traffic lights. I (male) was alone.

A car to Zürich stopped very soon. There was a little place to stop for a car but not the best place for that.

Many French cars or from Geneva but I got a ride to the big gas station north of Geneva (the guy was going to Vevey) after about 20-30 main. I had a sign for Zürich.

Lots of traffic. But i would recommend using a sign bc the street is going towards the highway heading north (Zürich) as well as to the highway heading south (Gotthard). Most cars going north

rating: 4/5

The most cars don‘t leave the bodensee area, so difficult to find ohne who is going further (e.g. zürich)

Got a ride with some turkish until a gas station (the name of the gas station is "your stop") just after Zürich. They were the second car that stopped after 3 min waiting. People from Kreuzlingen and from Konstanz pass through here.

Bad place, no space for cars to stop (it's not allowed there), we wanted to go to A3 but someone took us to different road (A4).

There is probably not better place in Zürich to hitchhike in this direction.
