Even though this was a quick ride for me, you can likely find a better spot. There is a large truck parking lot and a McDonald's drive-through; many people use it, so that might be a good opportunity. Also, there is free Wi-Fi at the nearby McDonald's.

Ok, this is not your typical gas station/spot, but I changed cars here and thought it might help somebody. If you do not need to go here, do not go here, but if you are here in the middle of nowhere, this might be helpful. Here are quite a few trucks going in almost all directions.

Not a bad spot. A truck leaving the parking lot across the road from Lidl waved at me and got me to a gas station, where I switched cars with one of his friends. I think you might be able to get a ride to Augustów from here relatively quickly.

To be honest, from my experience, Szczuczyn is not a great place for a hitchhiker. Multiple roads go in the same direction from here, and cars split. I wanted to reach Suwałki, so it might have been better to take the highway rather than a local ride to Grajewo. If going from the south and able to do so, avoid Szczuczyn and Grajewo at all.

This is a good spot, but you have a dilemma here when going north. You can take either the highway exit or the local one; they are right next to each other. I chose the local route, and it might have been a mistake. Both of them have plenty of space to stop.

Not a bad spot, if you are going north, just take a short hitch to Stawiski and continue from there.

Ok, I might be a little bit biased, but this is one of those spots in my heart. The whole Wojska Polskiego Road is nice; there are places to stop every couple of meters, and I think there is a bus stop as well. I got lucky here and got a ride all the way to Kołno, even though I thought this would just be a short last ride of the day. They took me 100 km north, and it was a great ride.

Perfect spot towards Ciechanów, there is a bus stop just after the roundabout, good visibility, and slow traffic.

Good spot, somewhere around here is a bus station. I would advise you to stay on that. Many cars go to Sochocin and Ciechanów.

Not a bad place towards Płońsk, cars go slowly and stop even though there isn't a great place to stop.

Not the greatest spot for the Sochaczew and Wyszogrod directions; most drivers go to Warsaw, but I wanted to avoid it on my way north. The place to stop is not a big one, and quite a lot of traffic, but it worked.

This is a perfect spot towards Warsaw, and I wanted to avoid Warsaw, so I went to Lowicz. Guy stopped here almost immediately and got me a bag full of groceries.

Maybe I just got lucky, but this is a great spot towards Łódź and presumably Poznań. Cars go slowly, stop for the traffic lights, can clearly see you, and there is a good place to stop. But I would really advise having a sign, because people go in many directions.

If you want to Jelenia Gora, than this is a nice spot.

Best spot if you want to go to bigger city (Rzeszów, Lublin) or just want to ride to the nearest expressway (S19)

The enter to the gas station is better than exit. There is more space. but it's still not the best place.

you are visible here, nothing special

you stand on horizon so that's kinda bad, but still good place

More than 3 hours of waiting. Cars going by every seconde. Nobody stopping. After 3 hours we saw car with czech licence plate. So we asked them.

I was standing closer to Moya gas station. good place for Gdansk.

I wanted to go to Heidelberg. It was already dark and it was Saturday... A group of several polish truck drivers were sleeping there until Monday, going back to Poland. Asked around for about 1.5 hours, almost no traffic, so I decided to settle for a ride to Karlsruhe and catching a train to Heidelberg. The spot should be good, but my timing and luck were bad.

Decent spot, I don't think you can do much better in the Poland direction.

I needed to get out of Liberec in the direction of Jablonec / Poland. I asked around here, and one guy brought me to a much better spot near Jablonec.

While heading to Ireland, a family heading home from Poland took me with them for a night in their van and even offered me a night in their guest room.

perfect spot to take a ride to east Poland, good place to stop for drivers

for anywhere in czechia or poland, this is a spot for ambition!

no one wanted to take us towards Poland, when we switched sign to "Žilina" we got a ride in 30 minutes

Great spot for reaching Poland. I only got a ride to the border but to Krakow should be very possible.

The service station was reasonably busy at 10am on a Thursday. I stood at the exit. Was trying to go to Warsaw from Kosice. Not sure if the highway route is better than taking the regional roads through Lublin but I decided to see. Quite quickly found a ride to Ruzomberok and onto the E77 into Poland.

Not a bad spot towards Poland.

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 lot of cars (most of them to Bauska and riga) and trucks (frequently to Tallin and poland). I caught a nice man who went to Ukraine, and left me in warsaw. One of the best spot Nearby riga

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.

I hitchhiked there in the morning, there wasnt a lot of traffic, I guess its better to get onto the bigger gas station further on the highway, but it is easy to get there from Frankfurt (you have to jump over the fence tho) and there are some cars going to Berlin/Poland

Great spot on the bus stop. Enough place for truck to stop. Perfect place to go north to Banska Bystrica or Poland.

Traffic mostly local. Held up a sign to Poland and all drivers shrugged that they're not going there. But at 5PM on a wednesday it didn't take long until I got a car towards the border. Gas station employees gave me a piece of cardboard for the sign and were very nice. :)

Pretty nice restaurant, and lot of cars going to Poland.

In theory, it was a great place – a hostel, a gas station, and a place to buy vignettes for TIRs (entry and exit from the same side), but we came across a little traffic. It was getting late, so after almost an hour, we decided we'd be done in 10 minutes and were going to sleep here at the hostel. We were about to head back when a couple from Poland on their way to Montenegro stopped by. We got to Zvolen SK with them.

Perfect spot, every car from Hel and nearby have to go through this round. After few minutes I got a catch exactly where I wanted, straight to Wrocław, but there was a lot of cars from all over poland, specially in the summer season.

Asked around to find someone going to Szczecin, Poland. A bit quiet but most people are going to the east of Germany
