Petrol station next to Vranje. Cars on the highway are not going very fast for some reason, and they can see you for like 500 meters away. Also plenty of space to stop, even for trucks. Got a ride in a truck to the Macedonian border using a sign MK.

Peaje de Espil: Hay que llegar a Luján, con tren desde Once, combinando en Moreno hasta Luján. 
En Lujan, bus 276 hasta el peaje de Villa Espil.
Se demora 3/4 horas en llegar desde Buenos Aires, pero el lugar es muy bueno.
No mas de 20 min de espera.

Una gran cantidad de camiones salen del puerto para ir en todo el país.
Ir a discutir con los camioneros directamente en los diferentes semáforos.
El problema: están apurados y no hay muchos lugares para que se paran.

I was with my friend trying to hh from there in the direction to Sevilla through the A-3050. The thing is that this is the old road to Sevilla, all the people go by the motor road - A4 (straight!) and even so, most of people in this spot is going back to Cordoba (not leaving the city). Very bad place to hh.

Me and my friend also tried to hh from this spot in the direction to Sevilla. The problem is that everybody who is going to Sevilla goes straight through the motor road (A-4). This is the way to the old road in the direction to Sevilla, if you get lucky someone will rescue you from there. In this spot is possible for the cars stop and you also can try to talk with the drivers. A couple took us away from there to the motor road for pure pitty :)

To get here, take the metro to Helwan (1 EGP) and walk South for 15 minutes on Mansour until the traffic thins out. Then take any microbus (1 EGP) going further South until you reach the highway. There will probably be other people waiting for a bus or shared transport. Just walk a bit further and try to wave down cars. Best to take the highway El-Karimat El-Zafrana. This road is in  a very good condition and is being extended further and further towards Luxor.

O BR 099 vai de Salvador até Estância em Sergipe, perto de Aracajú (lá encontra com o BR101). De Salv até Conde a maioria dos carros estão indo pra praias e não estão indo muito longe.

If you are HHing from Izmir to Ankara (or vice versa), you may be dropped off here by a driver going towards Kutahya. If you're HHing in Ankara direction, it is better to avoid cars going only until Usak to avoid entering the centre of the city and walking outside. It is a good HHing spot, so you can wait until you find a car that is going further.

Afyon is in the crossroads of big cities. What's nice here is that the main road does not go through the city, so you don't have to walk a lot. There is a crossing and a bridge somewhere around here and many cars go to Ankara. There are also a lot of way stations in Afyon, so you can check the licence plates and ask the drivers personally.

It's not easy to HH here as most of the cars who stop for you will be cars. Try to explain them where you are going and that you are travelling without money/paying (there is no word for HHing in Iran and it's not a known concept).

Near the entrance of the sea port, there is a tiny cafe run by a woman named "Asia". It's the waiting place for all truck drivers coming from Azerbaijan by ferry and most of them are Turkish and Georgian, so speaking Turkish or Russian helps a lot. Ask these gentlemen nicely and you may find a direct ride all the way to Almaty. It will take you around 4 days however.

Use this point to hitchhike south to Macedonia/Greece.
Have in mind that not too many local cars that pass here continue all the way to Macedonia or Greece, and also not too many local cars even use motorway if you only want to get south to Leskovac. 
Maybe it is worth risking to continue walking and getting on the motorway, as there you get about all vehicles that go to the south, and definitely all foreign plates trucks and cars. However, be aware that actually standing on a motorway is not allowed in Serbia for "pedestrians".

An alternative hh place to hitch rides to the east (in direction to Bulgaria). Alternative as if you are somewhere in near, it might take you a long long time to get to the center of the city and catch local buses to Prosek village hh spot. Here, this is actually a parking lot and a petrol station. Access to this petrol station is through broken fence behind it, there are even some locals using this as shortcut to their properties from the other side of a motorway. Hitchhiking here is okay as this is a parking/petrol station so technically not an open motorway. Visibility is average/good for speeding vehicles, but excellent for those that stopped at the station.

Perfect location to the south and east. Loads of Romanians but Serbian and Hungarian cars as well. This was on a monday morning. Found my ride to Arad in 5 minutes but if you ask around you can totally go further as well. Last big petrol station before the road splits so you will find drivers to Romania via both Oradea and Arad. Remember 'fără bani (without money)'

Takes quite some time to get there; train to Inárcs-Kakucs and then walk to the gas station. The walk is about 40 minutes.

A lot of drivers stop here to change money and get a vignette. Found my ride to Sibiu here in 5 minutes (but it might have been luck). From the border this is the main road east (if going via Arad), so all drivers and trucks will pass here. Ask people or just make a nice sign. Remember: 'fără bani (without money)'.

Well.. I was in doubt between setting this spot as "Average" and "Bad". I hitchhiked in here a few times both with friends and alone, and all of them always took what would be long waiting time for Denmark (about 1 to 2 hours waiting). I did it with signs and also without (once was raining), and didn't see any difference. But still, I didn't find any other possible spot to hitchhike from Odense heading west if not in here or next to the crossing of Rismarksvej and Middelfartvej.
I don't wanna say this spot is "Bad" because there's place for the cars to pull over legally.

Where the BR 101 connects to what becomes the BR 99. There is a 24 hour gas station with nice employees, not too much movement in the gas station but you can hold a sign right outside to go North to Aracajú, Maceio, and Recife or South to Salvador and Feira de Santana). The only thing I didn't like about this place is that its still in the middle of the city so at night it might not be so fun as a girl alone. But got rides within 30 minutes north and south

Me and a friend got dropped off on the freeway and the cops caught us hitchhiking there (what is illegal) and drove us to here as it is a safer and legal place for hitchhiking. There's a gas station here, and we started to talk to the drivers. Many didn't even open the window to talk to us, many just ignored us as if we were invisible and no one was going (at least it is what the few who answered said) north to Helsinborg. I think this area is a residencial neighborhood, apparently not lots of people are going to travel from here. But at least the chances of been picked up in here might be higher than on the road where cars aren't allowed to pull over and you can barelly find places where they could do so. Cars go REALLY fast on the freeway. We gave up on hitchhiking after around 30min here because it was already 4pm and we were actually going to Oslo. We got a ride to the closest bus stop, caught a bus to Malmo central station and headed to Oslo by bus. I'll try it again in another opportunity but hitchhiking in Sweeden seemed to be very tricky. Avoid Malmo always you can!

Iligal to hitchhike here, but we didn't have option as we got dropped off in here. My friend and I were coming from CPH and heading north to Helsinborg to go to Oslo afterwards. Cars go really fast here also, you'll probably not be picked up by swedish people as they now that it is illigal. We were picked up by an english couple but they were heading south so they could just drop us off in the next roundabout to the E6 (like 500m farther). Later I thought we should had went with them somewhere south and tried from there to hitchhike north, because Malmo really seems to be a super tricky place for hitchhiking with highways to everywhere (cars going always fast) and almost no place for them to pull over even if they decide to be illigal to help you out.

Don't come to here if you have option. There's no lane for the cars to pull over even though they can make it going a bit off the road, and also the cars go really fast also here. But, admiting you get dropped off nearby here like my friend and I did, you better STAY here. Don't go down to the road because there they go even more faster. I'm not sure if in Sweeden it is legal to hitchhike on this kind of spots (on ramps) like in Denmark is. We walked down to the road and decided to walk to the next roundabout and after a longe walk a taxi driver thought we were singing for here and stopped. I told him we were hitchhikers and asked if he couldn't give us a ride to a next roundabout on his way and he kindly did so. But anyways no one stopped and the police showed up, catching us walking on the highway and after telling us that it is illigal (but luckily not giving us a fine) they drove us to a gas station a bit farther to north.

It is not possible to cross the border on foot, so there will be taxis and minibuses who will try to take you. They will tell you that you cannot hitchhike. Don't give up and ask other people who are crossing the border in their own vehicles. But also make it clear to them that you are not going to pay for the ride. You will need to write the licence plate number of the car on an immigration form when you enter Mongolia.

If you get dropped off further from the center in UB, you can always try hitchhiking first. It's not like other big cities where it's impossible and you have to either walk or take a bus.

More options if you want to head toward Daimiel, Ciudad Real or Córdoba, less if you want to head south on the A4. The attendant at the station was helpful (but didn't speak English). To head onto the freeway (southbound) you can also wait across the road with a sign to pick up traffic that's not stopping for food/petrol.

take a bus to "betalstationen", then climb up the hill to the highway and be sure to have a sign. we got a ride to germany after a few minutes. but make sure, that the driver parks his car near the paystation, so you can safely enter the car.

PROBLEM: There are a lot of illegal immegrants who want to get to the UK and the ferry don't like hitchhikers.
I was there in the early Morning (slept under the bridge of the roundabout) and when I got up there were lots of Trucks which wanted to enter the ferry but had to wait in a Line (traffic jam).
SOLUTION: I showed every single driver my passport and explained everyone that I'm not illigal and that everything is ok.
The 5. truck gave me a lift to London :)

All the Cars which come from Lake Constance and follow the B31 leave the highway at this junktion. Just wait for a direct-lift to Freiburg. It never took me more than 5-10 Minutes

Because of the roundabout the cars have to slow down and the possibility to stop is not too bad (last time even a truck stopped :) )

If you want to pass Tuttlingen just ask the drivers for a lift at least to the Aesculap-Kreisverkehr (Roundabout) or tell them that you need to get to the other side of the tunnel (Both are the same places). Don't accept a lift into the citycenter of Tuttlingen.

If you use a sign make sure to choose a couple places close to eachother and not just your end destination as far-bound traffic is rare (my sign said Erzurum and it took me 2 hours to find a ride, so write Zara and from there use Erzincan and then Erzurum).

Not the greatest place for hitchhiking, but doable... 
You won't be getting a long-distance ride, a short ride to a better HH-spot is more likely - the traffic is all 'local' here!

It's the freeway onramp, but there's enough space for standing without passing the 'freeway entrance' sign and therefore breaking the law.
The cars are coming around the bend with low speed so drivers have time to spot you despite the bend.
The road is wide enough for cars to pull over without obstructing the traffic. (But the emergency lane starts some 100metres further down the road...)

Weekday + 4pm + sign 'ANYWHERE BUT HERE' (+ being a girl) was the combination that got me a ride to the ringroad in 10 minutes.


PS. There's a much busier(traffic from the CBD) onramp across the street.
Might get a ride quicker, but it might not be so safe... Check the description about it!

A Shell petrol station with a restaurant, with many cars stopping on their way from Gdansk/Olsztyn to Warsaw. Please note, it is forbidden to hitch-hike on the express road: you must stand at the exit of the rest place and stop cars only leaving the petrol station/parking.

Statoil petrol station at the crossroads. You can try to find a ride there or (better) go 10 metres south to the Byłych Więźniów Twierdzy Zakroczymskiej street and hitch a ride towards Warsaw or any direction of 62 road. Do not stand directly at S7, it is forbidden, stand at the station or at the entrance ramp.

It is absolutely senseless to cross this border to/from Russia. Even if it makes your way longer, you are better off crossing the border at Kyakhta/Altanbulag. There are so few foreigners crossing this border, you will be the centre of attention and interrogation by the soldiers. It is quite easy to hitch once you cross to the Russian side as many drivers ride to the nearby town of Borzya, where you can move on to Chita.

A Truck driver let us out there in the night, there ws no option to HH to Romania cause there is not that much traffic on daytime so in the night there was nothing and we (girl and boy) where like done with the day. it was cold (in end of april) The driver actually gave us money for the motel (20 dollars) and so we paid like 20 dollars and 10 euro for one night for a room (our last money at all). next day we just woke up got a shower and went on the street waited like 30 minutes for a ride direct to Bukarest.

Direction Transilvania, Sibiu, Arad, Serbia 
follow the describtion on hitchwiki, 
Get the metro to Pacii (note the metro is a bit crazy - if you're not careful the trains change lines without warning and you can end up at Gare Du Nord again!). From Pacii you have to find the main road going west, and go to the first bus stop. Get the first bus that says Carrefour and go all the way to Carrefour shopping centre, this is the start of the motorway.

just walk back a little bit to this bridge, its not that simple to climb up the wall but its makebale also with a heavy backpack. 
Then you stand direct on the highway there is enough space for cars and trucks to stopp over! got a lift after 3 minutes to alba Lulia so quite good space!!!

When you get a ride to Kriva Palanka and want to go further to Bulgaria, it's maybe smarter to get into the town, as it's not too big so you can walk to the exit of it. This place is in the begining of a town (coming from Skopje). Most drivers, except transit vehicles, go into the town, so you can experience high waiting times at this place.

From here you can ask to the police in the checkpoint for a ride, they call it "una cola". I did it and told him that I didn't have money and inmediatly he asked to a van that was passing by. He said yes ans that's it. Local poeple do that. I wasn't asked for money at all.
Another way is to take a moto-taxi to the regional bus station and from there take a bus to Maracaibo. It all cost aorund 200 bolivares instead of 500 bs, that costs the bus form the border.

Italian-slovenian border. Directly after the crossing point there is a quite long turnoff where you can safely stand. There is no motorway here (in case police stop you), speed limit is 50 kph and there are a lot of cars.

Highway rest area with only a toilet. No restaurant, no petrol station. This is just a warning. Try not to get dropped off here, as there is little to no traffic.
There is a restaurant/petrol station 20 kms west from this spot on M3. 
(so if you do get dropped off here on your way to Budapest from Ukraine, you could ask the occasional stopping drivers to only take you 20 kms westwards.)

Get off at Yangjae Ciziten's Forest Station and walk to the intersection. You can actually get on the highway (be careful) and if you walk for about 200 meters, there is a service station. Wait at the end of the service station where cars slowly drive to the highway. I don't think you will wait more than 10 minutes. It's a good spot for heading south to Daejeon, Daegu or Busan. You can use a sign if you are willing to wait a bit longer to get a direct ride.

There is a good number of people climbing the mountain (especially on weekends) and it's fairly easy to hitch back from the parking area near the temple back to Aso town. People will know you are a traveller without a car who just came here to climb the mountain, so they won't have any worries. A tip for climbing: follow the path going left and climb the rocky route to the top first (it is well marked with yellow arrows), make a circle clockwise and make your way down by following the paved route near the old cable car station.

A good spot to go north direction Brasilia. From Sao Paulo take the purple line metro from Estacao da Luz until the very end. There's a moment somewhere during the trip when you have to change the train, the one continuing all the way to Jundiai is on the same platform, on the track just next to the one with the train you came with. From the final station, walk along Avenida Marginal which continues into Av. Prefeito Luis Latorre. You'll see the signs for the highway.

I walked here from the Zhytomyrska metro.  Plenty of space to stop, but the traffic is very fast.  Keep your wits about you as drivers tend to undertake and will blaze by where you're standing.  Lots of traffic, but nobody biting.

Direction Goiania - take a metro to Sambaia and get off at the last station. From there it's a 15-min walk to the spot. When you reach the metro station, exit on the left side after the turnstiles (http://tinyurl.com/m6pykog), walk in the same direction that the train you came with is going until you reach Avenida 1 Norte. Follow it all the way until BR060.

Take a bus 100 (dir. Terminal Bingen) from the rodoviaria in the city center and go until the end of the line (2,80 reais). The highway is just in front of the terminal. It's not a very safe place, the road has many turnings and there's no point walking up the road because there are no safer spots anywhere nearby. Our driver pulled over just because nobody would probably stop in such a dangerous place.

Pointless hitchhiking there, it's still not any close to getting out of the city. Got there following the advice of a man who told us there's a big rmarket from where trucks go to all directions after unloading. There are many truck drivers but the place is too big and would probably take a lot of time to find a ride. We were lucky because a guy we asked for directions offered to take us to a spot down the road. Otherwise, don't waste your time there.

Süderschmedebyfeld (Altes Motel)

Von Süderschmedeby sind es ca. 1,5km. Von hier kommt man gut nach Flensburg. Falls jemand nicht ganz nach Flensburg fährt, dann lohnt es sich bis nach Sankelmark oder Oeversee zu fahren. Von Jarplund ist es aber schwer nach Flensburg zu trampen. Das Bushaltehäusschen wurde leider abgerissen. Man wird von weitem gesehen und die Autos können gut halten. Von "Balbek" kommen auch manchmal Autos, die man gut anquatschen kann.

Great place to start out from Sønderborg going anywhere. I have used this place with great success to go to either Germany, Copenhagen or Aarhus. One time i was even offered a ride all the way to Copenhagen. Great space for people to pull over.

Niewielka zatoczka tuż przy autostradzie, za stacją, przy Real-u - ostatnia miejscówka na trasie do łapania stopa na Kraków. Wbrew pozorom dobre miejsce, o dobrej widoczności - zatrzymują się  kierowcy podążający najbardziej zewnętrznym pasem, czyli tym, przy którym zatoczka jest położona.

Very often you will stuck here on the way from Novosibirsk to Barnaul bacause you dont plan trip or driver didn't explain his destination. Generally bad place to stuck and waste an hour. Road here is perfect so drivers drive 100+ km/h. Finally you will be picked up by someone but best solution is to avoid lifts to ZATO Sibirsky

While hitching north there is high probability that you will hitchhike after Ucharal's police checkpoint as almost 90% of cars turn to Ucharal. I guess wait here is more comfortable than closer to that checkpoint. First, here is a river and you can fresh yourself anytime. Second, you can stay at night near the river. it's better that sleep on sand. Third, road on the bridge is in vary bad condition so cars cross bridge at 30-40km/h. Forth, police in Kazakhstan may ask you some stupid questions and finally bring you some thoubles.

P.S. Hitchhike at lest to Urzhar turn otherwise you will spend some time in the desert with no water around.

Já peguei muitas caronas neste ponto e também varias pessoas pegam, já é um ponto conhecido por caroneiros.

Tem um quebra mola e um ponto de ônibus no local, que facilita muito, pois tem uma área muito boa para os carros parar no acostamento.

Você pode pegar um ônibus no centro da cidade e chegar neste ponto. Se você perguntar onde é o ponto de caroneiro no bairro Grama certamente alguém vai consegui lhe explicar.

Mais a frente deste local tem outro ponto que bastante caroneiros costumam pedir, que é na frente do posto da policia rodoviária, onde é o ponto final da linha de ônibus.

Mas eu recomendo este ponto aqui, pois acho que o pessoal costuma parar com maior frequência.

Border-crossing with very low traffic. The border police might be bored and entertain you with questions, and eventually they will let you pass through without trouble. They might appreciate a little bribe, and they will let you know. If you give them the equivalent of one Euro, they will be happy with it.

You can cross on foot.

Cars come quite fast but they have space and see you from a distance.

If you are coming from the north and your driver is not going in your direction, it is a good option to get off here.

(alternatively you can get off at the roundabout few kilometers earlier)

Bus Stop "Sękocin Las". On this side you can check best conection from any place in Warsaw to here. (http://warszawa.jakdojade.pl)
Place is big enough even for a track driver and has traffic light. 
Good Advise: If you are going from Warsaw to Kraków, don't let the driver to left you in Kielce. There is no gas station nearby, what mean the driver will has to take to the city, where you will lose a lot of time. The best way on this route is to do it in one, maximum in to stops. First on "Sękocin Las" wait for a car to Radom, where there are two great Roundabout to hitchhike. First near the enter to Radom and other near the exit to Kraków. Most cars are just passing thought Radom so it's not a problem to caught a car near the enter. If car from Warsaw won't take you to Kraków you can easily cauth someone on one of the Roundabout. 
Good Luck :D

On this highway you can hitchhike basically everywhere. There's no traffic anyway, so cars can just stop on the road. Prepare for well over 500 km of gravel (as for 2014) to Happy Valley-Goose Bay.

The road is terribly empty (a car maybe every 15-30 minutes?) with an exception of the boat traffic passing around two times a day. A lot of people seems to be afraid of picking up people in the middle of nowhere, so I had to wait my time. Took me 5 rides until I got my long-awaited ride to Goose Bay. On average it should take a day to make it to there. I had a couple times of being stuck for over an hour in various places.

One of the best hitchhiking spots to go north to Thessaloniki, and easily to Istanbul. There are the thermal baths (for free), a really hot waterfall and a natural swimming pool. There are almost always turkish truck drivers who stop there for a hammam.

Lot of space to pull over and cars riding slowly make this a good spot. Locals use it too, there is a gas station before the roundabout.  Just the distances covered are not that long (most of the cars heading to Bielo Polje or Prijepolje).

73 South towards the bridge; trafic is good and the shoulder is large enough. But as there are many directions possible (20 East towards Rimouski, 20 West towards Montreal and 73 South towards St-Georges), it's better to have a sign.

The spot is easily accessible via the 400 bus line in summer, or the 25 year-round.

From São Paulo Tieté Terminal take a bus to Jacareí and tell the driver to stop at posto with restaurnat Frango Assado located near the exit to Jacareí. From there you can walk to the toll plaza. If you hitch to close to the booths you can be sent further by the security, so move yourself on the beginning.

About 200 metres before the ramp to the highway towards Amsterdam (A12, exit 17 Westraven) there are traffic lights. Cars stop here anyway :) I found this a much better (and safer) spot than near the ramp itself where cars already accelerate.

I was here during a world championship footbal match so there wasn't too much traffic. Still I got picked up within 20 minutes or so by a very friendly lady.

This location is next to tram stop Kanaleneiland Zuid (line 60 to Nieuwegein Zuid or 61 to IJsselstein Zuid)

Needing to get to Bogense, thought this spot may work. Ended up waiting an hour and a half friday evening, and taking the bus instead. Caveat: I'm a single dark-skinned foreigner, and the the traffic at that time of day was infrequent. 'Could' be possible to hitch at a better time of day. But better to stick to motorways if you want to head West to Fyn or Jylland.

Hitchhiked from here after spending after deciding the petrol stations further north were too empty. When you come from the Ramersdorf junction, follow the path on the right hand side through the park and you'll come to this place. No fence to climb, decent traffic, and good area for cars to stop. Was picked up in 2 minutes, although maybe that was because everyone was in high spirit after Germany winning the World Cup.

There are good pullouts on either side of the road, but it is a slight bend so visibility is not the best. It might be the best way out of Quentar (why you are in Quentar in the first place is a mystery). Cars are speeding down the mountain, but I stood on the wrong side of the road so southbound traffic going around the bend had time to react to me. It's likely that most traffic south is going to Granada, so it's just a matter of willingness to pick up a hitch hiker. I wouldn't count on getting a long distance lift though. Got picked up by a cyclist going to Granada in 20 min.

I walked from where the road forks towards Pinos Genil while thumbing and got picked up from this spot in less than 20min. This area is small villages so the traffic is commuting villagers and vacationers to the Sierra Nevada mountains/nearby lake. Long rides probably aren't possible but rides east to the trailhead or west to Granada are likely. 

There is also an air conditioned bus that goes to Granada from this village (and also Guejar Sierra) approximately once an hour on non-weekends and holidays for no more than 1.7€

Toll Gate - excellent spot for rides north towards Quanzhou. From train station (Take RTB 1 from city center) it's a 25 minute walk along Xueyuan Rd and Haixiang Ave to get here. Toll gate and highway is fenced off, but there's a hole in the fence under the bridge Haixiang Ave / toll gate road.

Toll gate - staff was a bit nervous of having a foreigner around, but overall ok spot to get a ride north towards Fuzhou (waiting time 1 hour). Bus 13 goes along Chenghua Rd and bypasses the toll gate. Catch the bus from the city center (old tow) on West Street close to the clock tower (bus 13 goes along part of West St., then along East St. and Donghu St. and on to Chenghua Rd - get off when you see the highway and the toll gate - easy!).

To get here take the metro (Line 14) to Yuanboyuan station (Garden Expo Park - Exit C). From here it's around 1.5 kilometer walk to Dujiakan Roundabout and the ramp-on to the highway, where there are the toll gates. Alternatively take any bus which goes along Yuanbo Ave. to

I got dropped off in this exact location by a local guy who always uses this place for hitchhiking himself.
Not a perfect place - the side of the road didn't seem wide enough for car to pull over at first glance, but as I didn't see a more suitable spot I stayed in this place, and eventually got a ride to Dresden.

Nice spot for going south (Kristiansand).
This is a new (you won't find it on Google Street) roundabout exit towards Larvik (E18). We were 3 guys (!) and it took us only ~20min to catch a car.
I think it's better than the gas station if you're going south.
You can get to that spot going through the footbridge that you can find near the supermarket behind the gas station.

From Firenze to Antella you can go with the bus 31-32. From Antella you can get to the other side of the motorway through the Autogrill bridge-restaurant/shop. There is good traffic. In every minutes at least one car goes back to the motorway. It's good, because there is a patrol station and a restaurant too. But one problem that almost in every car sat old Italian people who don't trust in strangers. Though we are a couple dressed well, nobody stopped us, and when we went to people to ask them, sometimes they lokked at us like we were the Satan. And when we just stayed at the end with the table, almost nobody smiled at us like in other countries. So we gave up after 3-4 hours.

Most cars are locals (who will not take you very far) or truckers (who can´t take you anyway) I think a better way to go to Prague is to hitchhike to the petrol station "Oberpfälzer Alb South" (use sign "Amberg") from here and then from the petrol station to Prague.

Got here on a tuesday at about 2 pm. The gas station is off the high way close to an intersection. There are no other service areas in this area. Last one is in Affoltern.
When you get of the highway the gas station on the left seems better than the one on the right (More traffic). But none the less it's a quite bad spot. Waited there for over an hour. No one was going our direction. After a while some young fella agreed to take us a bit further on our way :)

Sunny saturday midday till 6pm. 6hrs! I had a sign for PARIS and SOUTH. No luck for ages. Some rude locals too... 

About 5 minutes before a big splash of rain, I got a lift from a local heading to Montreuil sur mer.

He said that roundabout was mostly for people going to Belgium and Dunquerke.  So I got lucky by the looks of things...

From Balintawak Station go down the clover intersection and walk pass the first road going right. Be careful as the traffic is dense and fast, also there are sometimes police under the bridge. Once you are there, people will stop for the crazy foreigner. Maybe you might have to wait long if the traffic is extra fast. In any case, be very very careful as the safety lane is narrow and there is a wall on the side of the road.

One of the better spots to hitchike North or South via A9 from Halle (I couldn't find a good spot....). Lots of cars in this spot, but it's not a good place to stop for cars and pick you up - you will have to wait for a driver who doesn't care that he basically blocks the freeway entrance ramp if he/she picks you up :) Anyways, it has always worked out!

Next day after 3 hours of waiting we found an excellent lift to Belgrade! But we were lucky, this station is terrible and avoid it! No buses, no villages near by, only way to get out is autostop which is not working well in this place.

Exit from roundabout, which leeds the direction to Germany. You will meet a lot a of people going only CZ and showing you thumb down, but if you are lucky, you can get to Svata Katerina, (which is the biggest petrol station + Mc Donalds on D5 before Germany) or even further to Germany. We got a car after 30 mins to Svata Katerina.

Busstop "Montörvägen". Busses which stop there are scarce, so you can take bus 2 (Direction Nacksta) to near there (get off after the big right curve) and just walk the few meters and stand somewhere along the road before the long road leads into a countryside - motorway kind of thing. Easy to get a lift, however long way from the E4 if you need to change. I only waited about 10mins there. Daytime, summer, female single traveller

This whole area is now (AUGUST 2014) under construction. For hitching to Östersund it will be a pain in the ass. What I did was: I asked to be taken to the centre and there I took bus 2 to Nacksta. See the other green point i marked there. Summertime, daytime, female single traveller ging from south to Östersund.

The biggest "Rastplats" I have seen in Sweden so far. Only on one side. but all traffic goes in there. It has also a shop, and a restaurant and a nature patz plus the lake to have your picknick at. Don't swim, its very dirty. All is practically a single huge parking lot. Huge, but spread out very much. No villages around, so that is the only chance to stop. Many cars going south, fewer north. But i managed to get to Sundvall there within 30mins.

SUmer 2014, I hitched here from Storuman in only a few hours. Daytime, workday, female single traveller. Very easy. Plus the next day I hitched from Saxnäs to Klimpfjäll and back, even to Fatmomakke and back. No problem to get rides. The locals are kind and people know there are almost no busses going. Friendly folks in northern sweden countryside. On a sunday, I hitched back to VIlhelmina. Pretty difficult as not many cars and the ones which came were full. Normal on sunday when they do their family trips. In winter: I was told Klimpfjäll has  winter tourism so it might be possible. I don't think the area is big. Plus the houses around this area are mostly summerhouses. Keep that in mind.

This is a restaurant on the left of the E45 if you look at it going north. If you hitch north, its not a good place to stop. Along the road, there is no space. If hitching south: along the road, just before the crossroads north of it, is an information table, space to stop there. the restaurants quite busy.. If you are going West, AC1067 to Kultsjö.. difficult to stand along the road. I simply walked to the village of Lövliden and stood near the camping place. Waited ca 40mins for aloft. Is quite good considering the scarce traffic.

Going to Arvidsjaure: Got stranded there, female single traveler, good weather conditions on weekday, 14.AUG!! Be careful. The cars which pass, drive at over 100 speed or more often. (Speedcontrol is inexistent in the north). Many cars come to Jörn and turn left into the village here. If you want to hitch to Skeleftea its surely a good place. If you hitch to Arvidsjaure, its the worst thing you can do. Then walk to the last exit further north. Its very far. Asking a local in the village might help. There is a busstop in the village, busses come 2 or 3 times a DAY! there is also a train station. For hitching I would suggest you ask to get driven to the next exit.

The university is near so if you ask near university Mörkved its fine. Find a place near the road, there are many busstops along the road. But I advice you to get here first instead of wasting loads of time further into the centre. I got a lift to Löding pretty easily.

We waited there from 11pm to 2.30 am at the night in time of the Samba Festival in Coburg. It was cold and dark, all people went to the festival. It was a very bad place, because there is almost no traffic in the A73 motorway. Do NOT hitchhike to Coburg if you can!

There is many cars going slowly because they just passed a traffic light. Moreover there is a safe place to stop.

It's quite a walk from the center, but a good spot to hitchhike South. I'd recommend standing on the road and not the P+R.
 If you get here at night there is a field to the left of this road that is good for wildcamping. Just walk a bit further South till you get to the Fürstenweg, enter it and to the right there is the field. Quite a nice view too.

If you want to go to Rijeka you might want to consider taking a lift to the Postonja exit 2 km further, and then hitching on the 6. Most people go only to Postonja or further down the A1 to Koper. We waited a few hours at this gas station, and then decided to get to the exit, which took us a few minutes since we just asked people (literally everyone has to pass this exit). You might have more luck there (we did), though there is no shelter in case of bad weather.

Free Train ride to Montpellier.
apparantly there are some conductors who don't check for tickets and if you're lucky enough (like i was) they'll let you on for a few stops. I don't know if this way is reproducable, but it happened to me...
The situtation was - the guy at the counter told me the train was free, he either knew that the conductor was not strict or the fact the train had to change locomotives was the thing.

The road here is the old school of Polish civic engineering at its "finest" - which means that the road could be any narrower and the trenches on its sides are as deep as possible. No chance whatsoever of stopping anyone, even walking near the road is difficult and dangerous.

First decent spot after Suwalki IMO (South direction). There is a short onramp where I managed to get a ride within a few minutes.It is too short, however, for the trucks, especially having in mind that there is usually heavy traffic there. Alternatively, on the other side of the road there is a large truck stop where you might get long international rides.

This is where many truck drivers pass by, between town and the parking lot. Just hanging around here for a while, talking to the drivers (especially those who are alone) in some basic French should secure you a ride. However, many people only leave the following day or hours later, so this is the option for laid-back hitchhikers. If you are more in a hurry, follow the instructions for asking drivers in the terminal.

If you are traveling from Kiev to Chernigov or Belarus and you stopped in Brovary - you need to go to this place to go further. You need to get to the mall Terminal and pass it to the side out of town, there is a wide shoulder and is easy to catch the car. Also you can take the bus to this place from Kiev, so you will save time, since in Kiev is very difficult to catch the car. Just ask the bus drivers whether they should go to the shopping center Terminal.

Bus stop "Skansen" in Swarzędz just at the side of the busy 92 road leading to Września and further to Warsaw. Many people heading for Warsaw use this road as it leads straight from the centre and is toll-free. There is a frequent 401 bus going there from Śródka Dworzec in Poznań, costing just 2.60 PLN (9.2014). The spot is just after street lights, so cars regularly stop there and the speed limit is 50 km/h so they have enough time to react and stop.

By a service station and just after the lights. For hitching along the N2 or the Garden Route.

 Take the train to Strand, but get off the 2nd to last stop (Van Der Stel). You don't necessarily have to use this spot, as there's a few interesections with lights and shoulder to pull over onto. Locals will be all over them.

You can easily get here with a $3.5 bus from the centre of Ottawa. The spot after traffic lights, good place to pull over and cars are stopped/slow.

I was meaning to walk up to highway 7, but one of the first cars stopped and brought me west all the way to where the freeway ends, Carleton Place.

Stood just before the no pedestrians/bicycles sign at the beginning of the highway. Police passed by a couple times and they didn't seem to mind.

Not a hitching spot, but a great place to have a hike (around 2-3 hours, and beautiful).

As you walk down the tall metal stairs and keep heading south and south, finding your way through all of the paths, stick to the river banks, walk around the whirlpool, mind snakes on the way, then on the last stretch the path disappears, but if you keep walking south parallel to the river bank, making your way safe through the forest, you will shortly (maybe half a km after the end of the path, I don't remember that well now) arrive near a fence that surrounds a touristy boardwalk. After you climb over it (low fence and there's no one checking, just quite a lot of tourist), walk south on the boardwalk and you'll arrive at an elevator that can take you up to the city.

Pretty much the end of the town. A lot of tourists in RVs, but I don't have great experiences with them, it's harder to hitch a ride. After traffic lights cars are slow, drivers can see you and there's place to pull over.

However since tourists in RVs are not likely to pick you up, you can spend several hours here and I strongly recommend trying to talk to some people at gas stations, fast foods, etc. It's much easier.

It's a bit of a walk from the centre. Lots of room to stop and a steady amount of cars. Not many people pull over though, and those that did asked for money.

If you're willing to pay, R20 seemed to be the normal amount people were paying to George. I waited almost 2 hours for a free one.

Pour atteindre les direction des 2 autoroutes qui vous dirigeront vers l'Ouest A11 vers Le Mans ou vers le sud A10 direction Orléans, il y a juste après le rond point un peu de place pour tendre le pouce.
Lieux de circulation massive avec possibilité de s’arrêter sans déranger la voie.
Si vous préférez le porte à porte, il y a un grand centre commercial avec une grosse station essence à proximité. (péage les plus proche: 20km pour le sud et 30 pour l'ouest)

You can ask the people directly in the queue in front of the bordercontrol. People who go with DFDS Seaways pay by car and can take you for free - they just have to tell at the entrance. They probably don't know that, so tell them ;-)
We first asked for the ferry company (there are four different), that's maybe the easiest way.

Spot at the roadside shortly after the bus terminal (for direction North towards Saqqez and Bijar). To get here take a savari (700 Toman in October 2014) from Enqelab Square to the "Terminal" and walk for 100 meters or so. There's not that much space for cars to pull over, but as there's not too much traffic this is not an issue. Make sure the ride is for free, as taxi drivers from the nearby terminal might also stop for you.

Heading north to Trondheim. Road was quietening down as it was getting dark. So straight out of the car that dropped me off here, lifted the hand at the first car and a lady stopped. Waited seconds. Taken to Melhus.

Walking on the E39 for a while because traffic was very little and wanted to stretch the legs and enjoy the sun on my face. Pleasant walk along the road. After a while just held out the thumb to cars while walking and within 10 cars a nice man took us to his house in Vinjeøra where we stayed the night. Great experiencing, eating amazing home made jams with a traditional family. Teaching us more Norwegian. Lovely people.

Hitchhiked with a local man heading north to Taba on his pick up truck with his two sons in the back. We couldn't communicate in language and the two boys wanted to give me all sorts of possessions of theirs for me to take. I gave them little funky wire men in return. I wanted to give their father some spare cash in return when he fuelled the car and he graciously refused over and over. Extremely kind and generous people. Simple human to human connection.

Great spot to get to Amsterdam or to the A2. Onramp has lots of traffic and big emergency lane for people to pull over. Were there for 3 minutes when a woman spontaneously stopped and took us to the intersection with A2, where she dropped us off on the first exit in the direction east, tocontinue to Amsterdam.
Get here taking bus number 5 from Ede centre and getting off just after you pass the freeway. Bus 85 could work too but longer walk.

Hitching west to Keflavik Airport. Lots of cars and shoulders are wide to pull over without problems.

You can get close with bus 1 - gotta walk like 1 km from the bus stop. It goes right from the centre and costs 350 ISK, which is about 2 EUR.

Despite the constant flow of traffic and the ideal straight open road it was difficult to find a ride! After about an hour and a half I got a ride well beyond my destination (Kaikoura) to Lyttleton!!
I suspect the reason it took so long to get a ride may have been that the competition curekids was running saw 56 groups of hitchers make their way from Picton to Christchurch that morning!!

Good spot to start a way to Ecuador in the morning. There is a shadow from the road sign that helps to hide from the intensive sun. I walked there from the center of Mancora, but you can also take a taxi for few soles. The spot is in about 50 meters before the gas station and bridge.
There is a sleeping policeman before, so cars and trucks are passing by slowly. I get a ride to Tumbes after one hour (not bad as for the low morning traffic).

This is the only spot I've found where drivers go in the direction of Tavannes. It's not the perfect spot, but it should suffice in case there is not much people at McDonald's.

Make sure you stand just before the sign with the highway logo on it. Here is should be legal. Might be a bit tricky for people to pull over but they have the side track and some space. Also they should be driving slowly when they're approaching to take the turn.

The McDonald's parking lot is a good place to catch a ride towards Delémont or Tavannes. You can feel free to ask people when they go towards their vehicle.

Stand just before the gas station, in front of the bike repair shop. This is a pretty good spot.

You will be visible to the oncoming rides that will be driving slowly because they just took a turn.

The bus stop here is a perfect place to hitchhike. There is room for drivers to stop and they are driving fairly slow because it's an urban area. And the most important factor is that this is in the French part of Switzerland which is know for it's warm people.

In the half an hour's time that we stood there around a dozen cars stopped and offered us a ride.

There is a gas station. It is not very big, but you can definitely get a ride till the next bigger one.
It is easy to get there with a bus, it takes, however, a lot of time (around an hour ride).
Bus 1783-10 you can take from the metro L1 Santana station, it departs every 20 minutes. Bus 2023-10 departs from the same metro line L1, but three stations further north, Tucuruvi. Check google maps to be sure where to take the bus, and if the route still exists. Ask the driver for Rodoviaria Fernão Dias_ it is the motorway going direction Belo Horizonte. The busses bring you very close to the motorway, and then you have 3 minutes walk till the gas station. You will have to cross the motorway over the bridge.

There you can ask drivers. There are very few cars going to Minas Gerais, but a lot of those driving at least till Atibaia. Before the cross with rodoviaria Dom Pedro I there comes a Petrobras gas station with "Frango Asado" restaurant. There is more traffic, and lots of people travelling to Minas Gerais stop to eat there.

PETROL STATION on both sides of A8 (connected by pedestrian tunnel) - BADLY PINNED! it's
2km from Gazzada-Schianno train station (5 min from Varese, about 1 hour 10 from Milano Porta Garibaldi station, 5.30€). 
From Gazzada station, make your way to via Roma (it's 200m, ask locals) and then walk it heading south = downhill! after few roundabouts, when houses and warehouses are finished, 500m after the BRUNELLO village sign, you'll find the entrance to the petrol station on your right - and you'll be on the side headed to Varese and Switzerland.
Decent amount of cars stop here but Varese people are quite suspitious - took me more than one hour both the times I started from there, both times I was directed south O_O
good luck! :-)

Good spot to visit the Canal of Korinth. Lot of traffic going to Athens and Patras .Seems as if a lot of cars/trucks leave the motorway (which is just a few hundred meters south of here) to avoid the toll gates.The Goody's restaurant has free WiFi and is open till midnight.

The guy dropped me off directly just on the highway. Pedestrians arent allowed on highways in turkey, but no matter got a ride wquite fast after 10 min waiting with a sig saying 'Bafa'. Hithchiking in Turkey is really easy, most of them are really helpful and friendly. This guy even gave me 15 turkish lira to buy me some food.

Just put out your thumb or  sign saying bodrum - waited for no more than 15min. Good spot to get an the peinsula / going west. easy to reach afoot from the citycenter. Literally you can just stand anywhere beside the road and put your thumb out - somebody will pick you up. Keep the small metrobusses in mind, they do stop frequently right in front of you - just deny getting on to it.

Tried to ge a ride in front of the mall to Munich because i missed the busstop "Dölzig, B 181/Südstr.". Bad attempt, people were really mocking about me. At least after 30min of waiting a guy felt pity about me and dropped me off at the next roadhouse.

This is a Turkish military area, soldiers won't allow you to continue walking to St. Hilarion (because of "security reasons") so they will force you to hitchhike, and they will probably help you by stopping cars that go to the castle to ask if they can take you to the top.

I took the bus to Vogosca (leaves from downtown.) From the old town walk west along the main road until you come to a little mosque on the left hand side of the road. Turn right and walk a kilometer or so (past the park) until you see a big bus pullup with several cigarette shops. Take bus to end and walk along the road until the toll booths. Hitch from there. It took 10 minutes and I got a ride directly to Zagreb. Very big shoulder and slow cars.

Bus nach Vogosca von der west-seite von der stadt.. mit dem bus bis zur letzen haltestelle fahren, aussteigen und der strasse bis zur autobahn entlanglaufen. An der bruecke sieht man die autobahngebuehr, weniger als 1km entfernt. dahin laufen und trampen nach norden.. innerhalb von 10 minuten kriegte ich ein auto direkt noerdlich nach zagreb in kroatian. sehr groesse anhaltstelle, langsame autos

Pretty good spot if you were on your way from Halifax to New Brunswick etc. or towards Cape Breton, and the driver was not going the same way. The intersection itself, between highways 102 and 104, is very busy and cars are going quite fast, so it might be better to stay here. There's a traffic circle in the junction, so cars are going fairly slow, and there's a good place to stop. There's also a gas station with toilets and a convenience store, and a Tim Horton's for free wifi.

At the border crossing, the border guards didn't allow me to try to hitch into the US on the interstate, or to walk on it. They insisted (nicely and politely, I should say) that I had to take a taxi to the Irving fuel station that is about 5km further, which is a pretty good hitching spot. The taxi was 7$, and it turns out that crossing on a land border costs 6$ (as of October 2014).

To get onto I-66W. If you take the 640 bus from Vienna metro stop it drops you close to here, and it's the only spot that makes sense. But it's pretty terrible - tiny amount of time for drivers to see you and very little space to stop. I did get a ride, but it was pure luck. Hitching just outside of Vienna metro seems like a better idea, plus you don't have to pay or wait for the bus.

Seemed like a good spot to get on the I-40W. There's a big truck stop, plenty of cars, a not-too-bad on-ramp right after a traffic light, so cars are not going by too fast. But I got stuck here for a long time. Now I checked and I see there's a prison in Marion. Maybe that's why nobody stopped...
Standing in the on-ramp didn't work for me, as it's a bit hard for trucks to stop over there. After a few hours I moved to the exit of the truck stop with a sign, and that worked after 25 minutes or so.

Many different options to try here, but not very quick (direction Münster). You can try talking to people at the Aral service station, but many of them will be local traffic. Also, the Dutch cars all seemed pretty senseless, as the only reason for them to go there was for cheap gas, after which they would drive back to The Netherlands.

I eventually got a ride to Münster after about 1,5 hours standing next to the B67 close to the traffic lights (not at the exit/onramp, but the crossing of Bocholter Strasse/Im Geer). People are driving slowly because of the lights and there is a reasonably sized hard shoulder for them to stop on. All in all a pretty decent spot, but with a lot of local traffic.
