Get here on foot from precious spot at Cirkle K gas station ~5km away.
Way much luckier here, here is bus stop, plenty place for cars to stop, and 50m further is small truck stop. It was end of September around 8pm so getting dark outside but basically almost immediately van stopped and with a night stop at campsite took me inside Poland, past Warsaw and all the bad spots along the way. Best spot to HH to Kaunas or even further west.
Great driver as well, spent the night at campsite and in the morning going further.
Drop me off at MOP Nowostawy near Lódz

Higt traffic high speeds. There is a gateway to highway in the ditch so you can pass the fence. Good place to stop but maybe i had bad luck. Then a truck stopped and i got 200km torwalds Warsaw.

High speed, high traffic. Not so many truck stop at the Hesburger/Neste. Maybe bad luck but it was still morning traffic. Got little closer to Kaunas with a truck.

Probably got quite lucky, but got ride to Riga in 30 minutes using a sign "LV". Mostly trucks ride here for some reason, personal car traffic is quite low and a lot of cars are locals Ithink (not many cars with foreign license plates).
There is a bus stop behond curve (the curve slow down cars, but they can still see you and cars go still quite fast there).
So you must be lucky, sign reccomended.

Late in the evening really wanted to go to klaipeda and the first car i asked gave me a ride there. The best gas station going from kaunas towards klaipeda or panevezys. You can find traffic going both directions.

Good spot. A bus stop wo a lot of soace to stop. And cars dont go too fast. Got a car coming back for me to pick up so that was nice. And the guy saw me at vilnius trying to hitchhike to here few days before and felt bad that he didnt pick me up and now picked a hitchhiker and it turned out to be a same person :DHDHDH

It was literal middle of night and i really wanted to go to vilnius so waited for anyone. But there was almost zero traffic but finally a circle k (this gas station) truck took me to vilnius. And i was there at 3 am but i was there so it was fine by me :))).

Towards Labunava/Kedainiai, very viable option for going towards north, especially good to catch the cars coming from highway, wide bus stop, slow speeds and quite some cars going all the way to Kedainiai, wait times of 5-15 minutes expected

Towards Alytus, great bus stop, good visibility, very wide and speeds are superslow due to roundabout, wait times of 5-15 minutes expected

Towards Alytus, Vilnius, great spot as a wide bus stop, loads of traffic though as mentioned most of it is headed towards Ratnycia part of Druskininkai, wait times of 15-30 minutes expected

Quite good spot to get ride towards Suwalki or Lithuania.
Bus stop, but lot of buses stop there, so a bit inconvenient.
Got ride to Suwalki in 20 minutes (with sign).

It was pretty late in the evening and i was very desperate to get a car going towards lomza. There is a gas station earbies but it was a bit dead there. So went to satnd at the exit but the shit part is that this exit is used both by lomza and warsaw people so you dont know how much traffic actually is going your way. But overall there is pretty nice place to stop. Some space but ofc have a sign. Alsoy desperation was so visible that i stoped a truck here. First time i got a truck not in the gas ststion so i wa svery happy because i really wanted to get to lithuania that day.

Insanely busy MOP. You can try probaly everything from here. As i am lithuanian I was trying to get a ride from lithuanians because really wanted to get drive past warsaw easily and not get stuck there. And i suceeded but sadly they were not driving all the way to lithuania that day :((( but still got past warsaw which i was more than happy with

Towards Lithuania, there's an alcohol store where Lithuanians buy cheaper alcohol but all of the cars are probably super full, medium to low traffic on the bigger road but a lot of drivers are quite cautious, you can basically hitch anywhere along the straight road here, wait times of 30-60 minutes expected

Amazing bus stop to go north towards LT, definitely try to get someone at least going to Lithuania, as you may struggle further up the road, low speeds, good bus stop, okay amount of traffic, wait times of 5-15 minutes expected

Pretty good spot. Started hitchhiking just before lunchtime and despite that i got a ride with a sign to Wyzskow in about half an hour. There is a lot of space to stop a car as it is a bus stop. There is not a lot of shade tho. Decided to get off at the well known mcdonalds instead of going to wyszkow as i wanted to go to lithuania.

Great place with room to stop towards Lithuania. I got a lot of waves and nods but eventually got a ride to Vilnius with an Estonian man who was hoping for a hitchhiker!

Heading towards Riga. Great place where even trucks stop although traffic was quite minimal. Keep an eye out ahead of you on the Latvian side as I missed a truck which stopped there since it was quite far ahead. Still got a ride with the second truck driver who stopped there to the edge of Riga (he was headed to Lithuania).

If youre trying to get to Lithuania or further, prioritise further license plates. Lots of local Polish cars, but lots of cars in general, so you simply cannot ask anyone, and there is decent international traffic. The gas station is compact, so you can see everyone that comes in. Only minus is that there aren’t any trucks.

Good spot, last place u can really HH if going to Lithuania aha. Like the 4th car took me, but it genuinely took about 15,20 mins for 4 cars to go past.

Good spot, just extremely empty, not many cars going to Lithuania anymore :/
Thankfully a nice Belarusian truck driver stood with me and flagged down another truck

Right after the roundabout there’s a little bit of space to pull over though its technically walkway, not enough for a truck but enough for a car. That way you can catch all the traffic going to Lithuania, as many people stop at the store across the street and there’s no where else to catch them. Only took me about 20-30 minutes to get a ride all the way to Kaunas. Nice couple.

we waited for fifteen minutes and got a ride directly to Kaunas, our first ride. Many cars on the road have Lithuania and Latvia plates, so definitely a good spot to get to the Baltics

Normally it work much better but today I was just unlucky. Still the best way to get on S8 towards Lithuania and Białystok

We were 2 males, very early morning so it took a while because traffic was low, but in theory a perfect spot for cars to stop going south towards Lithuania and Bauska. Got a ride with sign ”Lietuva” to Bauska

cars here go pretty fast, but you're visible from far. all in all a pretty good spot to go to lithuania.

Asking everyone around if they are going to Lithuania. But half of it was staying in Suwalki. Lithuanian cars were usually full of things. But eventually a estonian camper took us to Kaunas. But still probably its the best gas station to get to Lithuania
