This is the Big Stop, lots of truckers and a diner to eat with wife. It was sheer luck I got a ride as the dude that saw me missed his exit and circled back, and when he saw I was still waiting, he gave me a ride. Better luck with a trucker

I didn't actually hitch this spot. I was in a pitch so I booked a poparide instead. However, I walked past this spot and it's the perfect place for northbound rides. Visibility is perfect, open, plenty of space to pull over, and the vehicles won't be going too fast when they see you.

Not a lot of traffic, can stand on the on-ramp and highway. Got a ride to fredricton though, seems like most are going long distances

great spot for hitching a ride west got picked up by a trucker coming out of the truck stop

no space to pull over anymore gotta go about 2km down the road for a spot that vehicles can pull over

got stuck for the day and night good spot nonetheless better than just outside of thunder bay

horrible spot don't use is a spot for cars to pull over but vehicles going to fast

Waited about an hour. Not a lot of traffic. Might get lucky though

Decent amount of traffic got a 30 minute ride out of town and the stood on the highway thumbing

good spot right here lots of room to pull over next to the comfort inn

good spot just as other reviews say

good spot to hitch a ride has lights so people are going by slow

Cars can see you from the bridge here, I was hoping they would stay slow and come off to the side road. No luck at all, spent a whole day here. Plenty of traffic, just nobody willing to stop.

Not great. Was lucky to get a ride late in the evening, probably thanks to the street lights being there. Did not get very far though.

Good spot, lots of traffic, high visibility and frequent traffic light changes. Most of the traffic isnt going far, so only got a short stop to Strathmore. Definitely follow other reviewers advice about the side of the road to stand on.

Good spot overall. Took a while, but it was getting into the evening. Found a long ride all the way into Saskatchewan.

Not a great place to stop. Fair bit of traffic along the highway, but most don't slow or stop at Indian head. Spent 4+ hours for a short ride not even to the next town.

Got exceptionally lucky here. Lady saw me at the tims with my bags, thought I might be a hitchhiker and when leaving stopped for me. Had barely pulled out my sign.

not alot of traffic coming through here, ended up getting lucky and being driven down to grandfalls for a more popular spot

cars are going fast, room to stop though, quick pick up got a ride past edmondston

If you don't ask people on the ferry because you fell asleep (like me), this is your best shot of getting a ride. This is where the trans canada begins again, the shuttle bus can take you fairly close. Try not to miss it though (like me), cause that will decrease your chances. If you miss all the cars coming off the ferry you'll have to wait til the next one comes. You can stand anywhere in the curve, the shoulder is very wide. Got a ride within 20 minutes.

I started my cross-Canada hitchhike out of this spot. As soon as I stood out on the road with my thumb I got a ride.

shittiest place in all of canada for hitching. it had a bad reputation. almost better to walk down the highway a couple ks until you are on a flatter, straighter section. you will get a ride but it will take a couple days. bring warm clothes

No idea about hitching from here into Canada, though...

Hitching west towards Vancouver. All the traffic going Trans Canada has to stop there at traffic lights, so it's a good spot. Also wide shoulders to pull over. And there's a lot of gas stations and dining places around, you can go there and ask people.

Got a ride to Alberta, Canada through Dawson City after half an hour :D

Gas station here where a lot of cars stop. Hitching to Anchorage, Fairbanks, Canada possible.

After 15 minutes got a ride to North Pole. Then it got much harder and longer waits - going to Canada.

Hitching south-east to North Pole, Delta Junction, Tok, Valdez, Canada. A lot of traffic, mostly locals, but some go out of Fairbanks. Good place to pull over, cars are slow after traffic lights and can see you.

Quite a neat spot, though I had to wait a bit over an hour, which is longer than Quebec average for me. Maybe beacuse I started on the morning of Canada Day. Easy to get to, $3 bus ride from the centre of Montreal. Great place to pull over, long straight stretch to get noticed from far, as though it was meant for hitching. Not so much traffic though.

I got stuck here for really long (around 3 hours), trying to hitch west to Trans Canada Highway. Empty road, especially in the evening (had luck next morning), most people going from Port Rexton turn to Trinity.

2 of us waited about 45 minutes. Cars are fast, there's no much place to stop, but still after enough time someone will pull over. Whole Trans-Canada traffic goes here.

A fair bit of long-distance traffic stops at this Petro-Canada.

With a sign for "CANADA", plenty of friendly cars stopped, though most were only going as far as Kingston. After under an hour got a ride to just south of Albany.

If going to Abbotsford Canada, unlikely you'll get a ride over the boarder, but having a sign saying you're Canadian, may help

Stand here with a sign "T.C.H." to go west. Make sure that your driver drops you ON the Trans-Canada Highway (there's a gas station just after Pitts Memorial Hwy joins TCH)

Stood here 1.5 days. Its called "Highway of Tears" because some 15 girls have been gone missing in the last few years while Hitchhiking. Finaly got taken by an American who had no idea. Worst spot in Canada to HH!

I wanted to rich Canada and it seemed to be quite good place to go out of the town. I just had to take the subway 1 until the end and walk 5 minutes. I waited there on hour.

This is very close to Canada's Wonderland. At the gates to the park they throw out insane amounts of food from anyone trying to enter the park gates with their own food. Shameful practice, but possibly a goldmine for dumpster diving? Anyone know? Leave a comment. I will check it out myself in August.

All over Atlantic Canada, Irving/Circle-K Big Stop truck stops are great places to hitch, as they are frequented by drivers going a long way. Amenities typically include public showers, free wifi, and a covered area outside the door where you can stand with a sign while staying out of the rain. Staff never bothered me even if I had not bought anything. At this particular Irving I waited over an hour but then got a ride all the way to Charlottetown, PEI (my destination).
