I was there afternoon at Monday. Tried around 40 minutes and just one car stopped, which was the wrong direction for me. I tried to reach Oslo. Then just a local worker was going home and gave me a lift. I Stayed before the bridge because of workers from parking didn’t allowed me to stay under the bridge or after. Couple of days after one friend of mine also tried spot for 30 minutes and didn’t have like. But another friend tried once and it was successful for him. To Oslo too. So looks like not bad place, but practically can take a lot of time, because not big traffic from the parking.rating: 3/5, wait: 40 min 👍

Maybe not the best spot, but drivers certainly have a lot of visibility and space to stop, even if they’re probably Norwegian and driving a bit too fast to notice - bring a big sign.rating: 4/5, wait: 10 min 👍, ride: 296 km ←

Still a great spot, got a ride with a guy transporting a boat to Telemark (?). Don’t mind my 50min wait time - I’m a scruffy looking guy so this place is as good as they come for me. I really recommend it for going Trondheim til Oslo.rating: 5/5, wait: 50 min 👍, ride: 457 km ↓

A guy and a girl on a Friday at noon with a sign. We waited not that long at the exit to go south as there is no other good place to stop around, and a lot of people passing there seemed to go south too. Nobody stopped though, so we gave up, went to eat and contemplated taking a bus, but a nice guy came to us and said he was going to Ålgård and could get us out of here. If possible, try not to get here for hitchhiking...rating: 2/5, wait: 60 min 🪧, ride: 20 km ↘

A guy and a girl on a Friday at noon, with a sign. This spot is good if you get stranded in the area : cars don't go fast and there is enough space to stop. But a lot of people only go to Stavanger. Two cars stopped and the last one took us to Forus, south of Stavanger, but we got stranded there so, if you can, try to have ride further, like Ålgård.rating: 4/5, wait: 20 min 🪧, ride: 13 km ↓

Here you have a bus stop with a roof if neededYou also have a K-market
But so it's sad cause half of the cars stops at this supermarket
I waited for a long time, this road is not easy to hitchhack, but an Estonian guy took me all the way to Norway's coast!

Male, Sunday evening in summer, going south to Sweden. Mostly local traffic, but this is a place where people pass from Norway/Finland driving down to Sweden. Also a gasstation and a store nearby. Didn't need to camp because an elderly couple took me late in the evening to Sweden, but I think there is plenty of opportunities to camp in the forest.rating: 4/5, wait: 60 min 🪧, ride: 186 km ↓

i think i just got unlucky - i was stuck here for almost 2 hours when in theory it should be a perfect spot. eventually i was saved and hitched a car to Norway. i reccomend a sign, because after a few kms the road splits in two.rating: 3/5, ride: 173 km ←

I went on the ferry thanks to a car coming from Maribo. Then on the ferry I was looking for people going directly to Hamburg. After 10 people, I found 2 dutch brothers coming from Norway and going to the Netherlands. They dropped me at Moorfleet Ikea Hamburg. I was alone and with a small bag.rating: 5/5, wait: 20 min, ride: 181 km ↙

I took a bus from city centre (50nok) to this spot. I was lucky, my last hitchhike in Norway!!! And picked up by a smiling Syrian man.. it was really hard to hitchhike in Norway compared with other European countries, but in the end, I made it! :) thanks to those who I met;)rating: 5/5, wait: 10 min 👍, ride: 37 km →

stranded here in the night (march 2025) tried for an hour but then decided to check in at the hostel, to try the next day. in the morning we asked people at the tankstation to bring us to Oslo. After three hours we found a ride not to Oslo but in Norway. theoretically this tankstation is perfect for hitchhiking but in our experience the people were not really keen on helping us.rating: 3/5, wait: 180 min, ride: 117 km ↑
