Towards Germaniškis/LV, decent amount of traffic, city limits so slow speeds, wide shoulder of the road, wait times of 5-15 minutes

Towards Biržai, ideal spot, loads of low speed cars all going to there the least, wait times of 5-10 minutes, you could even go Biržai-Germaniškis/Skaistkalne-Riga if you want to go around the via baltica

Not very busy but every car passing you will most likely drive to Riga so that's nice. A long bus stop for cars to stop and they drive 60-80km/h. Good visibility.

Tough spot. Not a busy gas station but you can hitch the road from the gas station exit. Didn't have any luck to Latvia from here, only found a ride to the next village. If you wait long enough, getting to Riga shouldn't be a problem though.

Stood at the end of the gas station to catch the road + people leaving the station and quickly found a ride a bit forwards. Probably better to get a ride to Latvia from here though, than to get shorter ones.

Nice spot. Got a ride to Panevezys very very fast.

Fast speeds but a lot of traffic. Good for Klaipeda but also north towards Latvia. Have a big sign. I had "LV" written and it took me on the right road but not too far.

Good spot! I always waved to the incoming cars as well as those exiting the gas station. Took me one oil truck all the way to Riga. He was exiting the gas station.

Absolutely not safe, try to talk to the driver to drop you off somewhere safer. I had to walk around 2 kilometers and

I guess making a sign to a town close to the border would work better but I got a ride decently fast with my Sejny sign. Also the bus stop has space to pull over, works better than the gas station unless you’re asking people directly

Really quickly got a ride to Alytus

Had a sign saying Vilnius and got a direct ride reasonably fast.

Cars are going fast but there’s lots of space for them to stop and they can see you well

Got a ride to Merkinė with a sign saying Druskininkai. Definitely better to stand next to the gas station, lots of runoff for cars to stop.

I initially stood at the exit but as it was getting late I decided to ask drivers instead. The second guy I asked took me to Vilnius

was waiting for a lot of time but luckily got a guy who was going straight to my destination

Not a lot of traffic, but you can get pretty long ride, probably worth to ask riders.

I was waiting at this place with the sign: Suwalki, there is a good place for stopping because there is a stop for trucks with carwash, restaurant, gas station. It was in the morning Sunday and there was not so much cars but after 20 min, one driver saw me and my sign and he stopped, I said that I go to Poland, he said that he go to Warsaw and I said that I need only to the ELK city and we went well.

Small bus stop towards Latvian border, little traffic and the bus stop does get local busses, whose driver was nice enough to get me a bit closer to the border, generally doable, main factor is just little traffic and quite some lithuanian cars still go to the nearby villages, wait times of 10-40 minutes expected

Perfect place, just check the ferry arrival times, lots of trucks to Latvia and Estonia.

Busy service station. Was able to find a lift to Suwalki but should be very easy to find one to Lithuania.

It rained quite heavily, so I found shelter nearby Vynoteka. A lot of people going to Lithuania buy cheap alcohol in Poland's border, and I believe this is one of the last alcohol stores in the north.

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.

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.

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.

One of the better highway exits in Lithuania outside the big towns. Took a fairly short ride, would have waited for direct ride to kaunas hadnt it rained.

Good spot how to get to Lithuania. Infront of the gas station. After 25 mins guy called us from gas station and take us to Kaunas.

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.

wery good spot to get on the highway to lithuania

Okay place since cars go slowly. Possible to get a ride to Lithuania.

Two guys with backpacks, signaling with a sign LT. Most of drivers were local, but we got a ride to northern Lithuania in less than hour.

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).

Difficult with thumb up, nobody stopped until a man from Lithuania picked me up..

Most of the cars going to Bydgoszcz but you can find someone going east eventually. Nice spot to hang around in front of the gas station and talk to drivers, people are friendly. Got a ride to Warsaw with a person from Berlin going to Lithuania with their van.

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.

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 lights

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 road

had several offers towards augustow (which i declined), after 90mins someone took me to suwałki not 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

Declined some rides that only went 40 to 60 Kilometers and a ride to Białystok, after one hour got a ride straight to Vilnius (Lithuania) which is was hoping on. 10/10

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. There was not a lot of traffic when I was there, but I got a lift after 20 minutes to joniskis
