Good spot to get a direct ride to Riga, a lot of Latvians stop here. After asking around for 45 minutes it worked for me.rating: 4/5, wait: 45 min 💬+🪧, ride: 159 km ↑

After asking around for 30 minutes with sign Riga got a ride to Panevezys. There are a lot of truck drivers but it didn't help me to get a direct lift to Riga.rating: 4/5, wait: 30 min 💬+🪧, ride: 125 km ↑

Eventhough it was a quiet, dark, winter evening on a weekday and there wasn't much traffic around, a nice middle aged woman took me straight to Jelgava station, where I could catch a train to Rīga. It's well lit when it gets dark. I was a young single foreigner.rating: 4/5, wait: 30 min 🪧, ride: 100 km ↑

This is obviously very bad spot - cars are "flying" on a highway, and those ones which are getting out of petrol station, just focusing on speeding up and join the traffic. However, even here is possible to hitchhike. Draw a big sign and be very patient and eventually you can get a ride very far. After two hours of waiting I got a direct ride to Katowice (~670km)rating: 2/5, wait: 120 min 🪧, ride: 721 km ↙

Not a best spot for stopping a car, but cars go relatively slow and they are ok to stop even if there is no place for this. If you are dropped here, do not worry - you will get a ride pretty fast.rating: 3/5, wait: 5 min 👍, ride: 36 km ↓

A lot of local traffic. Make sense to get a lift for the next spot along A1. Sign doesn't help too much as a almost all the cars go short distance.rating: 4/5, wait: 30 min 👍, ride: 14 km →

Disagree with other review. Quite a lot of traffic in the gas station, people stopping to eat, and also going out from the stores behind. Possible to ask around and also just stand at the exit with a sign. Had sign PL, got a ride to my destination Suwałki.rating: 5/5, wait: 15 min 🪧, ride: 138 km ↙

Restaurant and 2 gas stations, but the traffic was very low on monday morning. Decided to hitchhike by the road just before the station. Cars ignored us, finally someone came and offered us a ride to Riga. I guess we were unlucky, spot looked decent.rating: 3/5, wait: 30 min 👍, ride: 174 km ↑

Better spot than the gas station on the roundabout. There is plenty of room for cars to stop. Most of the drivers were locals, traffic from the roundabout usually goes the other directions. Got a ride to Vilnius.rating: 4/5, wait: 10 min 👍, ride: 155 km ↗

Duo, m/fSunday morning
Fine spot for going west. Thumbed at the exit for 15 minutes, then we split and I decided to try with a sign next to the highway. Technically it's highway but theres an extra lane to pull over on, weird design but got us a ride straight to Warsaw (sign said warsaw)

Towards LV, very uncomfortable spot both for hitching and for cars to stop, just a small patch of gravel by the side of the road, speeds are decent, traffic density could be better but doable, wait times of 40-80 minutes to be expectedrating: 3/5

Very good spot for going further north, lots of cars, decent visibility, here the road goes from 2+2 to 1+1, enough room to stop a car comfortably, try to find a car going the least to LV, lots of locals, wait times of 5-15 minutes expectedrating: 5/5

The gravel road entrance after the traintracks is quite big, you'll get a car the least going to Skaudvile here, lots of lorries around here, the gravelside here is wide enough to stop them, low traffic, wait times of 10-40 minutes expectedrating: 4/5

A bus stop with enough space for cars to stop. Good spot if you want to get out of Augustów and go to Suwałki (which is eventually much better city to get a ride to Lithuania). Waited 25 minutes with sign Suwałki/Kaunas.rating: 4/5, wait: 25 min 🪧, ride: 38 km ↑

Small gas station. Going to Lithuania, the station is right after a curve so drivers dont see it that good. We were in pair, one hitchhiked on the entry to the station and the other at the exit. Sign "LT" - Lithuania. Got a ride past the border to the closest town.rating: 3/5, wait: 25 min 🪧, ride: 29 km ↗

Tried my luck here for 90min towards Lithuania. Although there are many cars passing and there is an unused bus stop to stop safely, no one took me. Seems like a good spot, and also quite a few Lithuanian cars. After 90min, I moved further to the other mentioned spots on this map, and waited 60min more to be picked up.rating: 2/5

mostly local traffic. many lithuania cars but almost none stop. I declined 2 rides to marijampole in the hopes of getting a ride further but it was a mistake and i got stuck for 2 hours. its not a bad spot but i think i was just very unlucky. in the afternoon many lithuanians go back from shopping so in the end i got a ride to Kaunas.rating: 3/5, wait: 180 min 👍, ride: 131 km ↗

When I arrived at this spot I felt very pessimistic - a very rare car coming through and mostly trucks stopping for sleep breaks.Once I approached a truck driver, he agreed to pick me up next morning after he had slept.
The next morning I got the longest distance ride I had ever gotten by hitchhiking - took me all the way to Paņevežis (Lithuania).

Not too much traffic. I was trying to get to Lithuania with a sign Litwa (Lithuania in Polish). Noone wanted to pick me up even though some truck drivers I knew was going to Lithuania. But after 30 min I found a guy with Lithuanian number plates to get me to Vilnius. Probably helped a lot that I spoke lithuanian to him as I am lithuanian.rating: 3/5, wait: 30 min, ride: 401 km ↗

Not sure if it's legal, but got here around 1am, and got a ride towards Lithuania at 1.30 am in deep winter, I'd say try this when in time where there's not many cars, good lightsrating: 3/5

Even though it doesn't look that promising the spot just keeps delivering, lots of traffic to Latvia and Lithuania and somehow they always stop here within 10-20 minutes, in itself it's just a bus stop and not many cars turning from Linnavere roadrating: 5/5

had several offers towards augustow (which i declined), after 90mins someone took me to suwałkinot many foreign license plates, so maybe not the best sport to ask for a ride all the way to lithuania (?)
very easy to reach by bus, very spacious

There was no petrol station when I was there, but there is still space to stop next to the road. The traffic is sorted out so that almost all the cars are going to Lithuania.
