Good spot to get a lift by lithuanian drivers - there is a roundabout before the spot so traffic is a bit slower. I stayed with sign Kaunas before "Taxi" road sign, as there is enough space to stop for drivers. Got direct ride to Kaunas within 10 minutes (but maybe I was a bit lucky).You can also try your luck by asking around at the gas station across the street.

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 ↑

Very local traffic. Being on the S8 is a better bet. But most people going to bialystok from the town will pass through here. Got offered a ride to bialystok but the car got a flat tire about halfway there :')rating: 3/5, wait: 25 min 🪧, ride: 159 km ↗

Busy spot but very easy for a car to stop. I got a short ride to a very inconvenient village - Troyan. I feel like I should have waited longer for someone going a longer distance. Ended up having to stitch my journey from multiple 5-10km rides from bad spots in small places.rating: 4/5, wait: 30 min 🪧, ride: 30 km ↗

Had luck, but if you are in a direction of Warsaw and you ask around, people will take you at least to the first gas station on the highway (10 km). Which is a good one with McDonald's.rating: 4/5, wait: 15 min, ride: 298 km ↙

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/Polandrating: 4/5, wait: 30 min, ride: 668 km ↗

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. :)rating: 4/5, wait: 39 min 🪧, ride: 74 km →

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.rating: 3/5, wait: 60 min 🪧, ride: 128 km ↙

very specific situation bc i got here at 11PM, stayed the night and asked truckers in the morning. this area on the A20 is a little bit of a black hole, so this was the best option for long distance rides to PL. only a rest stop and a toilet so mainly truckers and some people stopping for a piss but a LOT of people going to poland compared to the big orlen a few km back. i got a ride from the third trucker i asked, 4 hours directly to poznan but most polish truckers don't take hitchhikers anymore. good luck if you're ever stranded here!rating: 3/5, ride: 366 km ↘

Not too much traffic and cars coming from the main road are going quite fast, try to stand somewhere where road signs won’t hide you from them. Not ideal, but basically all traffic to eastern Slovakia from this part of Poland goes through here. Ideally avoid getting dropped here and get a direct ride to Slovakia from further north.rating: 4/5, wait: 20 min 🪧, ride: 30 km ↓

Feels weird to hh long distance in the middle of the city and some drivers made annoyed gestures, but I got the ride and this should be the best space to go eastward with how the roads work here. Sign with kaunas (even though I wanted to go to Poland) would probably be very helpful here.rating: 5/5, wait: 30 min 👍, ride: 122 km →
