Waited here for almost 2 hours than a guy took me to the highway. It's really better to get near the highway by bus or something

Looks like a superluck, but we got a direct ride to paris in 20 min, for two people with a "direction Paris" sign. Also, there is a "Netto" market there, wich is quiet cheap, if you need so. Also, you can pick them some cardboard :)

Good spot for going anywhere. You can ask on the petrol station. We were There around 6 pm,, so it was hard to catch. One man Just took us behind the border to Sweden. There is TIR park, so good spot for solo travellers, they dont take couples.

Cars are very slow since they just got out of the parking garage or waited to pick someone up from the airport. The spot is covered by a roof, so there's shadow. There's enough space for cars to take you in as well. You can get there by bus from the city.

We went to south with sign Göteborg. There is some place behind the roundabound. If you go opposite way, There is near another roundabound where it is possible, too.
Many people go home to Village around, so it is not easy to find someone going further. But better to get to some Gas station than nothing. 😊

From the begginig it looks a little bit bad, but There are Danish, German, Nietherlandern going, too and near by is McDonald's. So Yeah, we were lucky to catch two amazing Danish ladies and got a ride straight to Copenhagen. They used to hitchhike too, they were very kind and helpful.
Maybe this roundabound could be to go to Oslo, too.

Lots of cars coming by. Got a ride from someone living just a few kilometres from the spot. I was going to bourg en bresse, he left me at the first gas station on the highway and I got a ride directly from there to bourg en bresse after asking 2 persons. I don’t think a lot of people are going far from this spot but it is a good way to get on the highway.

Was dropped off by a truck driver who was heading towards Köln. There is a bus station but not too much traffic. But you an also take the bus to Würzburg so not a bad place to get dropped of when the driver is going further on the a3 and Würzburg is your destination.

It is hard to reach this place but it was worth it. The cars and trucks are driving slow because they have to stop to pay toll for the road. I had a sign for Subotica and found a truck in 15 minutes that brought me to the border with Hungary.

Arrived at 18 and left only the next day at 11. To avoid at all costs, only locals going to have a coffee or a fast food and people leaving the motorway. Insanely hard to leave the place as it’s not on the motorway. The only chance you can have slightly before turning crazy is to ask people having a coffee, they might have nothing to do and be good like my saviour was.

NOT as good of a spot as the reviews suggest. Last time we (2 girls) tried caching a ride to Poland from the other side - we waited for 5 or 6 hours - this time with the opposite direction it was way easier but still not ideal. The gas station is a ghost town, almost no one stops there. Got a ride to the south of Leipzig but had to ask many, many times.

I was dropped off here after asking for a short ride from somewhere around Mulhouse. A local guy advised me to ask on 2 nearby track parking places. There were some trucks, but I didn't see a driver so I randomly stood on this place (in front of hotel & restaurant house, just when you exit a small roundabout). I wanted to go towards Lyon. It was a middle of a hot summer day so one guy stopped in no time and took me all the way near to Avignon. Good luck!

They changed the bording rules. So people who booked early now have a time slot. So you can talk to them while the wait. A polish guy said he will get me on the ferry but he has to wait two hours before he can enter. I tried two hours to get a direct ride to Copenhagen but failed. So I crossed with him. Would have gotten another opportunity with a guy who had to wait but this would have been even later

Bus stop next to the highway, there is also a gas station here. Speed limit increases from 60 to 100 km/h immediately after the bus stop, so choosing one or two bus stops earlier might be nicer for the cars to be slower (speed limit is 60 all throughout Kuivaniemi and there is a camera at one of the bus stops so cars actually go slowly) . But there is plenty of space to pull over, I got super lucky and after about 30 minutes a truck stopped for me and took me to Oulu. (Female, summer, daytime)

Often going to France from Freiburg. 
I use bus/tram to get to the spot, then trying to catch a car. Most cars to the south, so finding a French car can take a long time. Stil the best option I found so far to travel Freiburg->France.

We were dropped at the service door. The driver told us that we could ring at the door, say that we were hitch-hiking and they would open the door.
We tried and were told it was forbidden to hitchhike on the highway.
So we walked a little past the toll to get to the end of the fence and walked back on the other side until we reached the toilet spot. There a truck driver saw us and offered a ride back to Rennes. So nice!

This is by far the best spot to go north. NEVER go on a ride that goes not as far as Lamia a so many people go farther away. I was standing here for 40 min, was lucky enough to get a 1,400 km ride to Austria. The spot of 509 bus stop 3 km from here is pure s**t compare to this stop. Just stand there and ask drivers to drop you here, it's so worth the effort.

Hitchhiking is Dominicana's capital Santo Domingo is possible, but makes little sense, since the public transportation is so cheap. It is definitelly the hardest place in DR to hitchhike. If you want to get out of the city, i'd reccomend you going to the last metro station Maria Sanchez and than walk a bit to the gas station on a highway. The vast majority of cars stopping there will go to Piedra Blanca, Santiago de Los Caballeros, Puerto Plata and so. The other directions heading to the east are a bit harder. I reccomend you going on the edge of the city with some minibus and than just standing on the side of the highway. Dominicans are very welcoming to stop you and take you with them, usually without asking for any money (in 95% cases)

There is space to pull over for the cars going off of the Tallink ferry. I got a ride to Riga quite quickly but I got the feeling that a lot of drivers going on the highway don't actually pass here. To get a ride it might be better to either choose the other spot that is marked on the map or to walk 200m further north to the junction there. (Female, daytime, summer)

I made the mistake of not asking for rides on the ferry. All traffic has to come through the ferry, meaning you have a shot at one boatload of cars every 45 mins. I got lucky and got a ride to Narvik, from the first ferry that came.

A few folks stopped, but they were pretty short rides. I got a few kick downs. Smokes and donuts. The ramp has a curb, but there is a wide shoulder on the highway. Although traffic is moving pretty quickly, and no one seemed to want to stop.

I left the spot because of construction. I agree, it seems like the other ramp in town may be better for both north and south bound traffic. Although if someone offers a ride out to Pleasant Valley (north), you could ask to get dropped off at the Manzanita rest stop, and try hitching from there. It's not far, but I wouldn't want to walk there.

Perhaps, it was my bad luck but I waited 30 minutes or more and then decided to walk to the ferry on foot. About at the half of the way I was eventually picked by a car going to ferry too. Tbh the traffic is pretty awful (about a car/2 mins) and most of them are full of people. P.S. perhaps someone will find this useful: the price for the ferry (09/23) is 4,3€ per person.

If you have crossed the sea by ferry you'd better try catch a car straight from the ferry. I didn't do that and walked all the way up on foot. When I came to the spot the ferry came back with new cars on board. So I had been waiting for about 10-15 minutes when one of the cars stopped. Then the driver lifted me to the Zagreb center. In conclusion, the spot really depends a lot on the timing when the ferry comes.

New favorite spot to leave Paris going to anywhere around Rouen, Caen, Mont Saint-Michel, Le Havre, etc... Red light just before the highway entrance with cars having to get passed Morainvilliers gas station on the highway. I tried twice and always got taken on the first try to the gas station. From here just follow gas stations on the highway on your path. Never had to wait more than 10 minutes usually making a stop at Bosgouet gas station right after Rouen to reach further in Normandie or even Saint Malo.
Really easy to reach by foot, take the train to Poissy then bus 12 and walk.

So this is the spot №1 from the "how to get out of Milan" guide. At least that's how I got here. The instructions were mostly clear and intuitive, though some things have already changed since the article was written. As such, for some reason the metro train wasn't going all the way to Cologno Nord station. Rather it stops at Cascina Gobba and from there you have to take a bus to the desired metro station. The ride was about 20 min long and I didn't even pay for it.
When I got to Cologno Nord I followed the instructions and walked for about half a mile in the northeast direction until I saw the big electricity pole. To get to it, I had to jump over a 2 meter wide trench (it's more convinient if you cross it at the car gate to your right). Then I had to make a jump over a yet another trench, this time just below the electricity pole. Though I found the doors to be closed with padlocks so I had to jump over the fence from where you can just casually walk downhill to the gas station.

Advice: watch out for the stingy bushes, wouldn't recommend going this way if you're wearing just shorts and a t-shirt (you're likely to scratch yourself badly due to the dense vegetation that stands in your way).

After I got to the station I got picked up pretty quickly. The driver gave me a lift all the way to Bergamo from where I went with another car to my destined city of Brescia.

I asked my ride to leave me here on my way from Milan to Brescia since I didn't want to enter Bergamo. I was surprised to see that many cars were passing through this gas station even on a Sunday night. 
Eventually got picked up all the way to Brescia relatively quickly. 

P.S. On this Autogrill I came upon a couple of foreign backpackers that were headed to Venezia. They were standing with a sign on the entrance to the gas station, which didn't bring them much success since I found actually asking the drivers in simple Italian way more profitable.

This looks to be the most obvious way to get out of Brescia and from here you can go to any direction you want. 
To get here you can just take a short walk from Volta metro. There will be a gas station and when you walk past it, you will come across a comfy side of the road that seems great for HH, at least in theory. In reality though, despite a decent amount of traffic, it can be extremely hard to stop anybody here (especially without a sign).
If you get frustrated after waiting for a long time, I can recommend checking out the two gas stations on either side of the roundabout for any cars that may potentially go in your desired direction.

I rate this spot 4/5 just because it is one of the very few ways to get out of Brescia.

P.S. I'm going to post other ways to HH out of the city after I've discovered them. Look for any recent updates

Most of the traffic after At Bashy is trucks heading to the Torugart pass.

Start your way early. There might be no cars at all afternoon, that was our case and we had to spent a night in Langar. 6-7am is a good time to start. Locals usually don't go to Murgab (super rare), but some of them go on 10-30-50km for a pasture. Most of the cars going to Murgab are tourists (probably a few per days). It's better to wait for a ride at least to Khargush, there is a military base and checkpoint. There is almost nothing else between and high opportunity to stuck in a middle of nowhere with no cars at all. However we relied on our luck, took a 10km ride out of Langar, walked a while and got a ride with a tourist directly to Murghab.

Very fast, but note: I was a girl, alone. 
Location seems nice. There is a gas station, but early in the morning it was mostly empty.
Next to it there is a bus stop and it turned out to be a perfect hitchhiking spot! 
2 minutes or less waiting

Went there at 16:00 on a Saturday, the traffic was decent, we got picked up by a taxi driver who was going to the airport to pick up somebody, that's also where we were dropped off. According to him, the spot isn't great, at this time of the day the only people headed towards Copenhagen are Danish people whose car is practically full.

Not many cars go by this gas station (probably every 50th car went here) but poeple were welcoming and at least said that they can't take us. We advise to write multiple cities, so you'd have a bigger chance to get picked up.

Tolls. Awful spot, don't even consider getting on autostrada out of here. There's not only a guard's booth directed on the tolls but also police pass by here regularly. I was trying my luck here in the evening with a sign to Modena but the police patrol car saw me from the other side of the road and I was lucky enough they didn't notice the sign that I threw in the shadow right away. I ended up telling them that I'm waiting for a friend to pick me up so they just told me to move away from the road and wait there

A pretty nice restaurant + gas station that's perfect if you're going in the Eastern direction (Verona, Padova, Venezia, Udine and also Slovenia). Way harder to find anyone who would be going North to Trento. Also I found it quite tricky to get to Modena from here. I waited for a couple of hours and got tired after asking more than 100 different cars so I decied to go set up my hammock behind the gas station, oh how naive I was. There's NOTHING behind the gas station. Just some persimmon plantation, private property all over and a road leading to a ghost town. Though there is a nice restaurant 500 m away from the station (I asked for some food but they refused to give me any. Then the most beautiful waitress offered to buy me a pizza with her money but I gently refused <3) and a big truck parking where I made friends with some Slavic drivers and they gave me their food too.
After some time I lowered my demands and ened up going just below Mantova.

Nice little gas station with a pastry shop. Has very good traffic, most of which are Germans headed to the South of Italy.
It was late at night (around 2 am) when I got here and there was still some traffic. Here I charged up my phone and the worker lady gave me some delicious pizza for free after I asked if I could have some food. Ended up making friends with a Turkish truck driver who also fed me and gave me the upper bed in his truck to sleep.
In the morning I easuly found a ride in the direction of Firenze.

An extremely busy Autogrill! So many German cars going both North and South. For some reason though quite difficult to get to Bologna from here and close to IMPOSSIBLE to go East towards Rimini.
You can ask people directly where they're going or stand with a sign at the exit of the gas station (less effective).
According to my calculations the peak traffic was reached at 1 pm with an average of 60 cars passing in the Southern direction and 40 in the Northern (yes I spent the whole day here, it was this comfy + nice view).

The grocery shops on both sides of the road are so busy you can easily get away with taking any food/drinks and going upstairs with it to the restaurant (Didn't want to risk too much and only got 1 pack of chocolates 4 euro worth). 
Tablediving is indeed extraordinary here! Mostly due to presence of many wasteful Americans XD
Can't vote for the free showers though, doubt it's still a thing.

Not sure if you can camp nearby this place but there are some pretty thick trees at the boot of the hill (some fences have to be jumped over to get there).

Even though this point is recommended on HitchWiki, I'm not sure if it's a good one or not. I was standing here for more the an hour with the biggest KL (stand for Klagenfurt) sign in history of signs, and only one driver stopped, going to Maribor. Went with him coz I thought it might be an interesting place to see. It wasn't.

I went to the 7eleven bought a pen to write my sign and then got picked up by a nice guy after nearly 10 min. He took me to Takasaki city and dropped me off at a supermarket where I could walk up easily to a road headed towards the highway. The 7eleven was on road 291 and the speed limit was around 50km/hour or 70km/hour but people drove slow enough to read and react to the sign. It was on a Sunday maybe it won't matter to you but I have a better track of getting rides on a Sunday.

Onramp from Regensburg to autobahn. We were going in direction Munich, got picked up in less than 5 minutes. Cars coming slowly as they have to turn; there's no real place to pull over but they stop anyway, everyone in this area is very friendly and willing to help. We tried hitchhiking in other spots and many people stopped but nobody was going the right way; finally we got to this place and got a direct ride immediately.

Great spot for short distances and small towns like Bad Abbach; terrible for longer distances or the autobahn.
People are super friendly and many cars stopped, but we were going to Munich and didnt want to get stuck in a small town 5km down the road. Finally after an hour crossed the road and hitchhiked further into Regensburg to another spot where we got a ride straight to Munich in 5 minutes.
Big bus stop, cars going slowly.

Other spots I think are outdated, There's no more spaces to stop a car on turn to highway, so didn't find a better option than getting directly on the highway.

We took the ferry from Istanbul (Yenikapi) to Yalova to HH our way south. There is a big bus stop at this spot, so perfect for cars to pull over. Lots of traffic, but we (couple, late 20s) still had to wait an hour for the first car to stop. They took us all the way to Kusadasi, which is even further than we planned for the day (originally we planned to get to Izmir). PS: We used a sign saying Bursa/Izmir and we can't really tell whether it's better to have one or not

Perfect place. Lots of cars. Opportunity to shower, charge, camp. Nevertheless I waited about 1.5h ob Saturday evening then I decided to camp and on Sunday I waited again for like 2,5h but I didn’t talked to people. I don’t know but when there are to much people I don’t really feel like asking around. Got a few offers 10-30 Kilometers and after 2.5h I decided to take the next offer and ended on a small station 20 minutes away

Also paid for the passenger ticket (but you can ask arriving people for there return ticket). I went south and asked two groups if they can get me to the first gasstation around 18 km (54°22'57.3"N 11°05'37.9"E) and the second group agreed after a little bit of talking it turned out they go all the way to Hamburg so that was nice ;). When we went past the gas station I saw a lot of people from the ferry getting gas so I think it’s a good spot and it should be easier to get there when asking around on the ferry because it’s just a few minutes away and a lot the people on the ferry will pass this station.

There is a shoulder where cats can pull over. At first we (couple, late 20s) waited about 100m before that spot (in front of the A101 supermarket), but the cars go really fast, so they didn't have enough time to turn into the parking of the supermarket. A car finally stopped at the shoulder and we realised that (a) they stopped for us and (b) that the shoulder/bus stop would have been a much better place to HH from the very beginning. The two young guys took us almost until the Bafa Gölü lake, then tried to ask for a "road fee" with google translate but didn't persist when we said no. PS: we tried to do to Bodrum

To get there from Ioannina take bus number 5 from the station "Πλατεία (Προς ανατολή)" [Plateia (Pros Anatoli)], get off at "Κώστα Λιας" [Kosta Lias] and walk a bit to the spot. The bus 1,10 Euro. Lot of traffic, but to several directions, because it's not yet on the highway. But it's a good and safe spot for cars to stop. Take a sign that says where you want to go. I went to Igoumenitsa, was taken by a really nice man, who even invited me for lunch and coffee and made a detour to drop me off at the port.

I took the advice above and held up a sign with "outra margem" and got a ride over the bridge quickly.
however, make sure the driver can actually drop you off at the next gas station (seixal) and isn't just going to a small city after the bridge, because it will be hard to find a ride there(happened to me)

I got dropped of here because the driver wasn't going to the gas station. I stood I the small pavement piece between the streets. I held up a sign with "próxima estação da serviço" - next gas station and got a ride eventually but I wouldn't recommend this spot. the cars are kind of driving too fast to have time to read the sign and there isn't so much time for them to stop too.

Well, we wanted to go to france from trier so we decided to go to berchem by train and start our journey here since the reviews and everything looked great. And it is a great stop. BUT what surprised us - the bridge across the autobahn got demolished but is still shown on google maps. We discovered this when we got there (lol) and luckily they already built another one in sight, but we still had to walk about an hour more than planned. When we got to the station we had to cross/ get through 3 fences. That was not so hard since two of these were construction site fences, aka not permanent and relatively easy to get through. The next one was already torn down. But the last fence we had to climb over to finally get to the station. We picked the spot where the trucks are parking at the end of the station, i would say it is the best option to get to berchem. I dont know why they built these fences but you have to be physically fit to enter berchem from the outside. Getting there by car is no problem. Once we where there it was around 12:00, we found a lovely couple in around 30 minutes that took us to metz. We were two people and we had a sign. 

 Final conlusion: it is a great spot but you have to overcome some challenges to get there :)

It is a big frequented road. 100m away from this spot is a farmer's road to a field where a car can stop. I was sitting between barriers, and cars could see me there from a long distance.

Puma Gas Station where a lot of trucks stop before their night drive. 
Arrived here already at night, tried to hitchhike the trucks but most of them were going south. Still there were some going North, but I was not lucky.
After more than one hour, a family going to Rockhampton picked me up and drove me all the way to there.

Must be a really good spot if you're trying to pick up a Truck to Brisbane

This is a shortcut to go west (ClermontF, Bordeaux), so you don't have to reach Lyon if you're in Villefranche already. Ask to get dropped at péage de Tarare and get into highway. Firstly, i waited at the bus stop next to the roundabout, there's a vending machine. As i was alone and drivers have few seconds to see you, only one stopped within a hour. So i walked 200m towards the trees to get some shadow and a kind couple picked me up after 5'.

You can come here by bus 4 or 10 from the station, Parc Expo drop-off bus stop. I came here by bus 10 from Saint Sylvain d'Anjou, jumped onto the empty road linking the service stations on the bridge, waited 1.5 hour sitting behind truck parking where cars depart, gave up, took a train to avoid being late in Nantes.
 Drivers smiled and showed interest at picking up, however no one really even stopped. Despite my unlucky experience, it looks like a good spot, easier to reach than the toll in the west nearby Saint-Jean de Linières.

Used it two times with success, not a lot of space, but people often go to the border of Spain. My recommendation is to ask to drop you to the next highway rest area (Posto de Abastecimiento Cepsa A22 OLHÃO) if they just go to the border or not to your destination. People often rest here before going further into Spain

Didn't really like this spot.. cars can only stop in the emergency lane of the bridge, and 3 lanes with a lot of traffic to different directions going quite fast. After more than one hour didn't get a ride, but luckily I saw someone who stopped the car in the emergency lane of other bridge, and managed to get a ride out of the town...
Next time will probably try the truckstop in the entrance of the town

This spot was cursed. We were going to Nantes and we (2 groups of 2 people on 2 slightly different spots, one group at the exit of the roundabout to Nantes and the other at the junction to Nantes judt before) waited 3h until someone stopped and took us 4 somewhere between Vannes and Nante. So since each waited 3 hour on their own, we could consider that we waited 6h.

Cars go extremely fast on this road it can be kinda scary, but they have enough place to slow down and stop. If it rains, you can abrite yourself under the bus shelter. Cars that stop may go to Nantes by 2 différents roads, either passing by Pontchateau or by Blain

Used this spot alone before without problems, often got rides to Reims easily and quickly.

Tried it again with a friend recently and we were stuck there for 2 hours, as no one seemed to be going east. Lot of locals cars. Guess we were just out of luck that day. Ended up finding a ride to Metz after a little more than a 2h wait.

The way to get there is long, crossing the grown corn maze was not the easiest but still doable.

This is the best spot for HH direction Bulgaria !!! It's not another spot better than this in my own opinion! But I hitchhiked on Sunday, very lonely gas station!!! No cars !!! No trucks !! The best way to HH is to have a sing with ***Pirot*** or ***Dimitrovdgra***
HH to the border can be difficult!!! Because people is afraid about immigrants!! So, better if you look White person hahahaha I am from Colombia and I look very árabe sometimes, but still I am lucky.

The best advice is to HH from the entrance of the gas station, because also you can catch the cars who is passing on the highway, because if you stay inside the gas station! * without traffic* you can be there for hours !!! 

To arrive to this gas station you can take the bus Number 4 Ang get out 2 bus stops before the end. And then walk in the highway for 15 minutes and that is ! You will see, use Google maps ! Or just walk from the center if you are too backpacker. 

Remember that HH IS ABOUT LUCK!!!!

Waited a bit for this one, about an hour. Going north towards Takashima. I waited near the exit for cars going west but the Lawson is on the opposite side of the road so not many cars.

Not a review for a specific spot, but rather for the island of Zakynthos as a whole--easiest place to hitchhike I've ever been. We hitched all over the island for 4 days and never had to wait more than 5 minutes. Just start walking in the direction of your destination and when a car comes by, smile and put out your thumb, usually the first car would stop, especially on the small roads between villages. Don't wait at a spot, just start walking, as cars will stop anywhere, even on narrow curves. Good to know some Greek.

Avoid this place. I went there and waited few hours. After some time I realized it's a meeting place for gays.
That would explain why there were so many cars stopping for longer, no women in the car and no ride for me, as no one who goes further than Frankfurt stopped there. I was approached by several suspicious-looking people.

Don't get stuck here, its really rural and you have to hitchhike away from here. Don't be fooled by the bus stop, according to the guy who brought me there it is not operating anymore.

We were 2 people hitchiking from that spot, in general I think it's a good location. It's on the main ring road and there is a parking just in front  of the spot. I wouldn't recommend to anyone hitchhiking there in the winter because there is nothing near by , so if you end up waiting there for more than an hour it can be dangerous.

I came from Vienna and was on the way to Prague/Berlin. I had a driver who was going to Poland. Don't get dropped off here, either go to the gas station next to the highway in direction of Poland/Slovakia a few kilometers or try to convince your driver to bring you to the gas station on the highway towards Prague. If you end up here there is a tram to the city center, take that and change spots.

Update from Okt 2023: i didnt find it possible to hitch further into the port than this (the workers tell you to leave and there isnt an obvious spot). This worked for me though, even though it was evening and dark, standing with a sign right at the exit of the roundabout into the ferry port. Theres a little spot to pull over also. I had a sign with “ferry:)” got me a ride unto the ferry and then I found a truckdriver that went bear Brussels. The truckdrivers have a special section in the ferry, where I stood outside the door with a sign. It worked and seemed easy enough

Seemed like an awesome spot to get a ride across the channel. First car with a UK licence plate i asked agreed to take me with them on the euro train and half way to london. They have to add you on their ticket, but they can do that on their phone on the app where they have their ticket.

Stood with a sign for caen/rouen at the exit and it worked well! I tried walking around and asking but the place seemed to big and it was hard finding a central point to catch people. After 10 min with the sign i got a ride to the big gasstation after Caen

After 5 minutes, police came by the other side of the road (toll exit), set up their checkpoint and waved me to leave, pointing at the roundabout. In fact, there's no parking here and stopping is forbidden. As I moved to its opposite side (yellow indications to Spain) a guy at the lower boulangerie parking invited me to join him to Hendaye. You can be luckier than me and wait longer at pinpoint to get a ride to Spain. However, don't come here if you're in Biarritz already. Go to Bayonne toll or next ones southwards.
If you're in the highway, read green pins instead.

I've used this spot twice, both on a Saturday morning. You can very easily catch a ride to Burtonwood services from here, or all the way to Liverpool or Manchester. Recommend a sign saying M62, and either Liverpool or Manchester, but if you're going to Manchester and get offered a right to Burtonwood services take it, you can get to Manchester quite easily from there.

One car was full otherwise they would take us with them but after a while two Polish guys took us with them near Slovak borders.

We were three coloured and entertaining souls who met in Leon on the way to Chaves Portugal. We walked from the center, shopped at Lidl which opens 9am, waited almost 2 hours with a sign "Benavente".
Drivers smiled and waved a lot. Police came by the parallel street and warned "you can't stay here, walk back before the roundabout". After 3 minutes a young guy picked us up and drove us much much much out of his way to Puebla de Sanabria, where PB gas station and restaurant 24/7 is saving us from the rain. He said Benavente is not a place to be stuck in.

Hitchhiking in Jordan is in general super easy if you are a European tourist, everybody wants to help you and you never wait more than 10 minutes no matter where you are, carefull though because many times people expect you to give them money for the ride, so you have to make clear from the beginning that you are hitchhiking, we went directly from Aqaba to Wadi Rum which is a very popular destination

Lots of cars, but two directions so a sign would make it easier for people to gauge when to stop.

I waited here hoping to go in the direction of Bordeaux. I had a sign and most people signed to me that they were going in the opposite direction towards saint jean de luz. So if you aren’t going towards there don’t bother to try this spot to go north. Try the main peage nearby instead.

Perfect spot right next to the border. Fany french people come to this gas station cause it's cheaper than in France, so it's easy to find rides to France. Also there are mant cars heading towards Spain and I got rides to Valladomid and Soria from here just by talking to drivers

It was in the evening and despite a lot of cars, no one gave me a ride to Amsterdam. Lots of families and probably a lot of people tend to go in the other direction at night.
Usually it is very easy for me to get rides in the Netherlands, so this place is really bad somehow.
Luckily there is a train station right next to it (it does have gates)

The spot is a little outside of Vaasa, but you can reach it with a bus.

If you end up near paimo like me (the first lift couldn't take me further) this Petrol station is quite a good spot to get further. There was not a lot of traffic when I was there, but it's near the highway and a lot of the cars are going to Helsinki. You just have to ask the drivers directly, I think just standing there with a sign would take quite long since it's not a very bis petrol station. I got lucky and the first person I asked took me to Helsinki :)
I General not the best spot, but if a previous lift can't take you any further I would suggest asking them to let you out here

My last ride let me out at this petrol station since he couldn't take me any further. So I don't know if it's easy to reach by foot, but I just asked drivers here and the first person took me directly to the hill of crosses :) so if you end up here I would just recommend asking the drivers, I don't think just standing there with a sign is effective..
If you start hitchhiking from joniskis I don't think this spot is ideal (there are probably others that make way more sense) but if you get out here it's quite easy to find the next ride :)

The free bus to maxima isn't running anymore, I just took a regular bus to "Gariunai" station for 0,90€ and walked the rest of the way (which is a great option, there is a footpath next to the highway and you don't have to cross it, so it's really safe this way!). When I reached it I got a lift to Kaunas after just 5 minutes, so this is a really good spot, even though the cars are driving quite fast and there are already multiple lanes. But the cars can easily see you, and there is enough space to stop at the whole exit lane without bringing anyone in danger. If nothing else works you can always just ask the drivers that are doing a break here anyway. I can recommend this spot!

There was very little traffic when I was there, so I waited about 45 minutes until I got a ride to Krakow. The spot is not ideal, since it's directly at the entrance to the highway but I think this is the only spot that makes sense. Cars from both directions can see you, so you can catch really everybody that goes that way. There is no extra place for a car to stop, but since to the low amount of traffic this was no problem when I was here.

It's hard to get there from Paris and I don't think it's quite worth it and when you are in Vémars it's really easy to get lost and not find the station. But once you're here it's quite good even though I didn't find so much cars going to belgium as I wanted lots of them where going to Lilles. I wanted to stop at the nearest station before the start of the A2 but the drivers were cool and let me go to the first station of the A2 (Harvincourt) where it's a lot easier to go to Belgium from there.

If you just approach people at this stop there is a really high chance of being picked up to head north.

Very good spot to leave Chaves towards south, you should come here by bus to Boticas and ask the driver to drop you at Autopista before Casas Novas (i departed from Boticas at 7:30am and he made an extra stop for me).
You should wait on the short lane where cars have just turned left and had time to see you. Most of drivers smiled. After 40 minutes a man in a modern pick-up took me to Vila Pouca de Aguiar and offered me 15€, this has been the first time within European continent :D
İn Vila Pouca, drop off at city centre highway entrance, easy to continue. Water spring available.
İn Vila Real, don't drop off at city centre entrance, or you'll need a city bus (5/31/51) from nearby bus station to continue towards Viseu and Coimbra.

Very good spot to continue the hitchhike to south. A water spring is available. Drivers smiled, 2 cars stopped within 40-50 minutes and the second one dropped me in Vila Real.
However, if you are going to Viseu/Coimbra, don't drop off on the western side of Vila Real where the bus station is, or you'll need a city bus to A24 entrance (5/31/51, cost 1,55€). Also if you wanna continue to Porto or the west, that highway entrance in Vila Real city centre looks steep and uncomfortable to wait at, so you'd better check the map for a better continuation.

Here might be good northward as well.

This is a good spot for patient hitchhikers who get rides city by city and not to their destination. I came here on the way from Chaves to Coimbra by bus 51, paid 1,55€. Buses 5 and 31 are also coming and do stop closer. Good traffic, most of them are workers going to other small towns, one offered me a 15km ride but had me refusing when he warned me very low traffic is leaving that village, so I should wait here for a longer ride.
After a hour I opted for a Rede Expresso bus to Coimbra for 10€ through the app.

I only took a look at this spot since the driver from Vila Pouca de Aguiar dropped me here by mistake on my way north-south. This spot can lead you west to Porto, but it's so steep so I'd recommend the one more south-west in Parada do Cuñhos. On the other hand, the bus station is 2 minutes walking :)

It's a good and calm spot, with no motorbikes, and few cars. We got our short ride towards Thái Bình immediately with the first car. Google Translate works pretty well now compared to 8 years ago. I found that showing a digital map to drivers is always confusing for them, so I prepared a simple hand-drawn map with a few nearest towns on the way. Showing this map to the driver works perfectly in combination with the phrase "Bạn đi đâu (Where are you going)?". Also "miễn phí (free)" is pretty helpful to let drivers know you are willing to get a free ride.

This is the spot you can use to get out of Turkey to Bulgaria. My experience in October 2021 was rewarding. I came to the border gate and the officials said "you can't walk" (it's been like that for years) and when I stood up few hundreds metres before, soldiers from Jandarma told me to get backwards and try asking at/inside restaurants. This doesn't work if you, like me, look Middle Eastern so the truck drivers will ignore you thinking you're irregular. So I took a dolmuş back to the pinned gas station and waited 2 hours (could be much less) until a Turkish man took me with him to casino in Svilengrad, offered me the entrance and a private hotel bedroom.

Perfect spot. You will find a huge mostly empty gas station with a lot of space for cars to stop and you will be visible to drivers. In the morning hours the traffic was low, almost no motorbikes at all, so it's easier for cars to stop here. As most cars pass slowly here, you can even hitch a truck. We got a direct truck ride to Huế in about 5 minutes.

To get to this spot from the city, you must get bus number 06 (Vinh – Hà Tĩnh). It starts from Chợ ga Vinh (near the train station, google it), and passes through the city so that you might catch it in a different place, we got it around the Bến Thuỷ area. It goes all the way to Hà Tĩnh, but I suggest you get off at this intersection or directly at the gas station, otherwise, that would be difficult to get away from Hà Tĩnh.

This place is infamous for getting stranded as there are no villages beyond here, just alpine desert. Que: no trucks or local cars except short distance farmers. There are tourist cars, but they're often full or not too Hitchhiker friendly, and there arn't loads of them. it's not impossible, but don't expect it to be easy, be prepared to wait a couple of days, don't miss opportunities to hitch, and be open to hitching back to khorog or willing to pay someone with a car at the hostel.

After some time i found a local grandpa who took me a bit further to a gas station on the ring.

Departure spot mainly to north (Fundao, Covilha) and you can also be offered Lisbon as destination, despite indications to it being on the entrance by the other side of the bridge and a more suitable way starts in Castelo Branco Sul (southern highway entrance). After 30 minutes they offered me Lisbon, then i had to wait one more hour to Alcains where a dutch expat dropped me towards the countryside. In case you get stuck in the afternoon you can opt for provincial buses to north by "Quinta da danca" stop 10 minutes away (walk Espanha direction then get down the bridge).

We were 3 peoples looking to go to Split, we wait around 40min before we found a car. You have to ask people directly to see where are they going. There was also toilets 👌

[FR] Lieu utilisé par la plupart des jeunes de Langouët qui n'ont pas de voiture pour avoir un lift jusqu'à Gévezé d'où un bus pour Rennes part au pire toute les heures au mieux 3 fois par heure. En général l'attente dure maximum 5-10 minutes.

I don’t how you people autostop from here. I’m sure it’s possible but just tell me the way. It’s a big road with a looot of cars that don’t have where to stop nor how to see you. On top of that when you go to Madrid the cars nearest to you are not going there so you won’t pick anyone near you. The only idea I had was to ask people on the red light, but as I said it would be people on the middle of the road and I didn’t want to risk being there when the light turns green. I’m disappointed I tried both ways out of Burgos to Madrid and both are bad, I’ll have to take a bus :(

The spot always works - there's traffic lights to slow cars down and bus stand for them to stop. I hitched couple of times from here, although need to ignore many grumpy city people passing through. Disadvantage that is far away from city center (I walked, but, of course, you can take a city bus)

 I hitch very often early in the morning going for  work. Usually takes one car to reach directly to Fort William, cos most locals which are very friendly, go there. That applies in the winter, but waiting time can take longer (5-30 min), cos not much traffic during this time per year. In a summer, traffic is very busy (takes less time to catch a car)

We stood just before the highway, behind the guard rail. Big sign saying no stopping / hitching. But... A car stopped before police we saw any police.
There are tunnels to get around the roundabout without playing Frogger in the road.
Hitch towards limmasol / larnaca / lefkosia (Nicosia)

The roundabout is hard for someone to stop in. They could, maybe, but it'd be dangerous and no one seemed to stop there. Also, not great luck at the gas station 6min walk from there.
If all else fails, there is a bus stop about 5min walk from the gas station with intercity busses going every hour or so. Between 4-8 euro, depending on which city.

The spot is a decent alternative when it's dark outside and no traffic at the gas station if someone is heading north. There is a lamp and a place where cars can easily pull over. The only issue is that cars go downhill so the driver doesn't have time to react after spotting you.

It was 6 am, during winter, dark outside and traffic was very low. Got a ride after 15 minutes of waiting to Berkåk although the driver had to turn back for me as he didn't have time to react in time.

There is a little shop. The lady in the shop seemed to have met hitchhikers here before, as she approached us with chairs, question in google translate "do you want to travel with no payment?", and also offered us a cardboard to make a sign. Just because it's right after the turn from Skun it makes it more difficult for cars that are going from Phnom Penh direction to stop. Anyway, you can chill there, get some cold drink, and wait for your ride to Siem Reap.

We experienced a fairly long wait time here. There was a fair amount of traffic, for a relatively quiet road, as well as space to pull over (albeit a bit short). We were here at 8AM and it was raining pretty heavily. We went to the petrol station to put some extra layers on and without even attempting to hitch we were told by the staff there that we were not allowed to solicit rides on their property. Found a lift to Ohakune after 90 minutes or so, as we decided our best bet to get to Wellington would be back on Route 1.

It is possible to hitch this road to St Arnaud, but most cars are only travelling to local vineyards.

Heading south on the 6, we thought we'd try our luck for a while hitching from outside the church. There wasn't really much traffic at all and most signalled to us that they were turning left up to the glacier. Better off walking to the other side of the bridge and hitching after the glacier junction. 2/5 as it is definitely still possible to catch a ride going further south.

Maybe about 10-15 minutes wait for us for a ride to Fox Glacier. Better than waiting in the village as there you will miss the traffic leaving the glacier road and heading south. Little bit of room to pull over but fairly slow traffic.

We walked here from Fox Glacier village. Careful crossing the bridge (single file and no footpath). Not the best spot and fair walk to get there. Driver ended up pulling over on the other side of the road. Better than hitching in town as you miss a lot of the glacier traffic, much like in Franz Josef. Lift was going to Wanaka, however.

Typically longer waiting time anywhere along this road. Not too much traffic, and very full cars/2-seat vans. We hitched from here after camping at the Parangi DOC ground and we found a ride towards Wanaka after 45 minutes. 3/5 because the 6 is fairly quiet but you should find a lift and there is lots of room to stop on either side.

Got a lift super quick in the direction of Cromwell, but only as far as Luggate. Driver explained that maybe 30% of traffic from here was going to Cromwell/Alexandra, but from Luggate about 90% of traffic is going that way. The spot itself is ok with a little road entrance for drivers to pull over. We walked to this spot as there was roadworks at the 84/6 junction.

It was the 30th december at 18:30 (dark already). Maybe it was too late? or eating hours... Seeing that there werent almost cars at some point we gave up and took a train (first time i fail hitchhiking in my life).
Maybe earlier it works better

One of the worst spots of my hitchhiking life. The precedent lift left us here assuring me and my friend that is was a good spot but it wasn't AT ALL. I can't remember how long we waited but I think we only saw like 7 cars pass : it was desert (it was on a Saturday afternoon, maybe it's different other days ?). Plus, it was raining and there was literally nowhere to hide from rain there. (Apparently, it rains very frequently around this spot, so be careful and check the weather before accepting to be left there)

I was going to Lisbon and came here from Castelo Branco northern district by Linha Azul bus (1€). You should drop off before this road intersection, you'll have to walk back longer otherwise.
I waited on the western side of this previously pinned point, facing Schreiber (look at the map).
After 20 minutes a spanish expat living in Coimbra picked me up. He's one of the many drivers avoiding the nearby highway. He dropped me near Vila Velha de Rodao where the road to Coimbra begins northwards. It was hard to leave that mentioned place, as no car enters the highway to Lisbon. So if you're here in Castelo Branco, make sure your driver doesn't take you to a village. Or choose a highway entrance.

And no one really drove through my lane, so i walked back to Abrantes direction national road till a man picked me up for some km.

A man took me here from Castelo Branco, he was very kind but this is not a very logical waiting spot towards Lisbon.
Foggy day, 2 hours of daylight left, i waited on this narrow provincial road to Gavião/Abrantes with curious cows staring at me, then realized the nearby bigger road goes also to Abrantes, tried to walk but darkness and cars driving fast made it unsafe. So after a total of 3 hours, i came back to this spot and walked in the dark, intermittent torch on my hand. The third car stopped and took me to Abrantes train station (7:30pm last one).
Thank you torch.

If you're going to the west coast this road looks like an enticing shortcut vs going via Nelson. Indeed, someone used the exact words, "enticing shortcut" and took me from the perfect hitch spot outside the supermarket to here. 


5 hours later:
 
There was tons of traffic, they could see me, there was space to pull over. Nobody stopped. Nobody was going to the west coast this way, everyone is just going to work in the vineyards and farms a few miles down the road, and they won't help A hitchiker.

I was told this by a guy who saw me waiting there 4 hous ago, and felt bad enough to drive me back to the Nelson road during his lunchbreak, the spot i was at in the first place, where I caught a ride in 5 minutes. 

This road has AIDS, its quicker via Nelson. Don't bother unless you are genuinely happy to wait around for hours on end for nothing, and at best get dropped in the middle of knowhere.

I'm not the only person who's had issues with this road, it's not a shortcut, its a trap.

Really the best spot in front of former car wash, as cars do stop and as a local I used it tons of time to go to Međugorje and beyond. Cars are not going fast and will see you from intersection when on red light as well and make their call wether to stop or not. Although it seems odd trust me it's a good spot. From Međugorje, major crossing that goes to town and to other places you can get another ride for further. Loads of trucks as well. People are totally cool in this region

If you can get there, it is a truck-drivers resting area, ideal spot for hitchhiking. They all go to Medellin or to Cartagena in the other way, they drive super slow, you have a lot of space and you can go ask directly to drivers having a break.The exact point is behind "Restaurant La Patrona, Planeta Rica, cordoba" on maps.
Took me 10mn to get a ride to Medellin.

It's a good spot if you want to get a ride into Berlin, a little harder to go west but possible. You can get into the gas station on the west side from the fields behind it (there are holes in the fence). There are toilets and showers that you have to pay for.

The best spot to get out of Zurich, I used it twice, once to get to Basel, once to get to Avignon(France) both succesfull, you're very visible there and there is a pocket for cars to stop, there's not always a lot of traffic there but still got rides under 30minutes. To get there you have to go like a 100m back towards the city from the Sportsweg tram stop and then get thru the tram tracks closer to the road, the pole with stickers is your spot!

Really easy at friday's afternoon.

Talk to the drivers and ask if they can take you to the next service area. Once in the highway really easy to go to Porto.

Not a good place, at least on Sunday. The restaurant is closed, gas station looks oldschool, 99% local traffic. In the end i got rescued by germans with big old trucks who were searching everywhere for strong air pump for their wheels. If you have a chance to go to next station near Massalaves, go there, it looked much more promissing.

We needed to get to Germany. Most of the cars were Italians, a few Switz cars as well. After 2 hours, we changed our "Germany" sign for "Como" (the town just before the Switz borders) and got a ride in 20 minutes to a petrol station in front of Como.

That's my experience. However, two friends who started hitchhiking right after we got the ride and used the same signs got stuck at the petrol station for 7 hours with no lift anywhere north towards the A9 highway. 

Overall, I would say it's a good place theoretically, but Italians simply won't take you. If you need to go north, hitch towards Como and stop at the petrol station just in front of Como. There all the cars go north and it's easier to catch a ride there. There's way more Switz. French and German cars there.

We were hitchiking with a "Germany" sign for like 15 minutes and got a ride to Zurich. The driver was going all the way to Strasbourg though. It was a French car. Overall, there's a lot of Switz cars, some French and German. Everyone's going north. 

Side note: Be careful, in Switzerland the EU phone tariffs don't apply and the prices for phone services skyrocket. Make sure to make your plans before you enter.

Going from north direction Tinghit. Up until this point it the road was very empty but still hitchhikable, taking small distances and a lot of time. From here it seemed like basically no cars going that way. But you can sit in local cafe, talk to locals (this village is not touristy, has very authentic vibes) and try to hitchhike from your chair, maybe you'll be lucky. If not, there is a minibus to Tinghir for 50 DH stopping right on the spot.

Cars are quite fast here and mostly don't stop at the traffic light. But I eventually managed to get a car to the border. It can be difficult to stop since cars going to France use the 2 lanes on the left and the lane on the right is for very local traffic. You definitely need a sign. Good luck!

February 14, 2023. Not exactly high season for hitchhiking, and we started from Budapest late in the afternoon. So for us (2), this spot was a bit risky, we were afraid that we would have to spend the night there. Eventually we went up to a person and asked if he could take us and he said yes. I imagine this station has more traffic in the summer during the day.

I walk out of town as far as this garage as it is an easy place for cars to see form far away and have room to pull in... 
also I stand at the exit of garage cause often drivers pulling out pick up, they have had time to think about it and get a good look at me/have a relaxed chat before deciding...
If I were heading to Glendelough I would take lift as far as Hollywood as a lot of traffic passing through going all the way to Glendelough...

Many competitors and I've waited here the longest in my entire trip. Trucks usually go to the mine and wouldn't pick you up. Eventually a really nice guy picked me up and the ride to Zagora is very scenic where we stopped to enjoy the view and he invited me to his home twice to eat together!

Saturday 11am, no sign.

We stood there with a Lisbon sign starting around 14:15 and also asked people. It’s a fairly small gasstation and it was a Sunday so even less cars were coming through but on busy days I would say it’s worth a shot. We gave up after maybe two hours and are now taking a Blabla car to badajoz.

If you want to go to the direction of Tours, you can ask the cars if they can leave you at the péage 13 km further. There the highway splits in two directions (Paris and Tours) and you can easily switch from the Paris péage to the Tours péage.

There is enough space to stop 50 meters after the péage where you can stand without being illegal (the gendarmerie is very close to the péage). Cars using 4 lanes of the péage can stop here. Use a big sign because the highway splits (Lyon or Montpellier). Good luck!

I recommend, but also I was very lucky. The doors were open and I've found a driver in less than 30 minutes. At the beginning I've tried to ask drivers at the station, but finally changed my tactcis. IMHO is better to stay with a cardboard by the road leading to the station (but leave it only a little, so as not to enter the highway!). Statistically you then have a better chance of finding a crossing

Waited in the shade of a wooden patio. After one hour someone stopped but drove off after some miscommunication of where we wanted to go. We waited another hour before moving 500m up the road and got a lift within a few minutes.

There is a lot traffic passing through here, as well as some songthaewa to Ao Luek and some other longer distance buses you can stop. There were a few other people waiting here, so I think it may be a bus stop and that makes it confusing to hitchhike from here.

The spot was very good. It can be accessed very easily through a passage behind the convenience store and you won't be walking where cars drive.
The station has everything, toilets, wifi, electrical plugs for charging your devices, Food etc.
I got picked up after one hour waiting time on a Monday. I started at 10am and got a lift at 11am.
It took me a total of 4 rides to get to Nagoya station and the drivers were always very respectful and curious why I'm hitchhiking in japan.
Tomorrow I'll continue hitchhiking to Osaka and after that to kumamoto, just to see how far I can go.
On this trip I never had any worries about unsafe road conditions, people being rude, not having food or a toilet. Everything was available all the time and it was a very good experience.

This place seems to be a good spot, because there is a place to stop, so I stood here with a cardboard "DIRECCIÓN GRANADA." Although the distance was short, unfortunately it was not my lucky day. I waited a total of 4 hours (four times an hour each) and was unable to find a ride to my destination. If you hitchhike here, arm yourself with a lot of patience. I also recommend catching a hitchhike a little lower down, where cars are not going so fast yet. One driver stopped there before, but he only drove 17 km. In addition, a family stopped and wanted to take me for money. Maybe you guys will have more luck.

The spot is relatively difficult to reach as there is no pedestrian path. So you have to walk behind the crash barrier for about 1 km. But it's worth it. The highway access road is single-lane, but without a crash barrier and with enough green space next to the road for cars to stop. I didn't wait a minute with a "Dresden" sign. I just took the sign out of my rucksack and a car stopped. Can only recommend the spot. But be prepared to walk a short distance across the field.

Its good place, because there is big traffic and also cars have to stop at traffic lights, so it is easy to interact with them and they have also time to decide. There is a space behind the light to stop, so i think it is not dangerous or risky for drivers to stop. Also people from Nuremberg told us that this spot is good and kind of “famous” for hitchhiking. I recommend you to write a sign and be funny, use your hands and smile. Impress drivers, it really works.
 Finally we drive to Bamberg instead Wurzburg, because we just wanted to go away from Nuremberg, but it is possible to catch something this way.

Run away. This spot sucks. We wanted to get to Fulda/Kassel or just Autobahn 7 but nobody stoped. People who definately went there, they were just pretending they dont and LKW drivers slept there, so they didnt give us ride. There are just locals, who are going there for Mc or just shopping. They were smiling but we felt just like bunnies. Dont let happen that you stuck there for hitchhiking. We went back to Schweinfurt with young german local, who was pitty about us.

Before we write a sign to Kassel, one old man stopped us, but it was more luck then advantage of the spot. And he took us only to some weirdly big gas station out of the city, where we stucked for cca 3 hours. But maybe, i think it is good spot, traffic is strong there to A70 and A7. But big problem is Schweinfurt at all, because locals do not stop, it is a deaf place. Hitchhikers in Wurzburg told us the same. So it is better to run away from Schweinfurt.

At first I was worried that the spot was gonna be bad because it really doesn't seem like cars could stop anywhere. BUT: after only 2 minutes I got a ride to himeji with a very kind family.
They stopped their car in a road parallel to the onramp, so if you attract cars from the main road, they will have a chance to stop there and reenter onto the highway, so don't worry.
I even got help from the local firefighters at their building just down the road, one of them walked me all the way to the point and explained me where to go and what to write on my sign.
If you need the bathroom, further down the road there is a gas station with a clean bathroom, so your needs should be covered.
I recommend this spot, even though it seemed sketchy at first.
Edit: on my sign I wrote 姫路方面 which means "towards himeji"
You can ask your ride to drop you of at the next SA, or service area (サービスエリア)

Très bon endroit ! Attendu 30 secondes. Beaucoup de trafic. Les gens ne conduisent pas trop vite, pas trop de place pour se garer mais il y a plusieurs voies donc ça ne bloque pas le trafic. 
Pour s'y rendre depuis le centre ville de Nantes,  prendre le tram 1, descendre à Schoelcher (à la descente du tram, prendre tout droit) et traverser la zone commerciale pour rejoindre le rond-point atantis.

Direction Béchar and anywhere north. All people in Taghit (very touristic city) know about this gas station as a place where many cars stop before leaving. So you can walk here and wait from the gas station side under trees shadow. If it doesn't work, take a minibus back to the city and move into a departing one. Cost 150da (60cent).
This was my first hitchhike try within 2 months around Algeria.

The 3rd car that came across took me right until Arles ! Very nice spot if you want to go back to the direction of Arles. You will have to reach the spot by taking the Via Rhona (bike and walking way along the river) from Aigues Mortes until you reach the industrial zone. Continue on the via rhona after the parking of the SUPER U and turn on the first path you see on your left. There's plenty of space for the cars to stop. Perfect for a saturday afternoon !

Besides, this spot is just at the city's hostel gate "Maison de Jeunes Tabarka". 10 tnd for locals, 12 for algerians, 18 for other souls.
I came here the day before with a 2 rides from El Kala, Algeria. Feel free to ask for advice about that huge country 🌄

Waited for just over 2 hours for a lift on a Friday morning, trying two different signs - M11s / SOUTH. 2 cars stopped before but were heading the wrong way. Good flow of traffic but very few heading onto the M11 southbound, only 1 car every 30s took the junction. People tend to use J12 higher up to leave Cambridge, although harder to find somewhere to stand.

Despite the wait time we felt this was a good spot and we were just unlucky. We had a good number of offers but all were heading anti-clockwise on M25, we wanted to go clockwise.

Got a ride in less than 5 minutes but felt we got very lucky. This is very small lay-by on the side of the roundabout intended for police vehicles. Have to target traffic coming round the roundabout as those from the close exit would have used the slip road (from M25 N). Drivers are held at traffic lights so gives them a good chance to see you.

Got to make the most of the crossing if your ride isn't taking you in the direction you'd like and you really want to avoid being left in Calais if possible, not good options from there. You only have half an hour so as soon as the train sets off start along all the carriages. Everyone's asked to put their windows down so extremely easy to chat to people. We got a ride all the way to Barcelona over two days so couldn't have worked better.

This seems like the best spot for going south out of Duluth. There are plenty of cars taking that ramp and there is space for them to pull over. I took the city bus from the north side of Duluth near Brighton Beach to about 3 blocks from here. I could imagine it taking a lot longer than 25 minutes to get a ride because in my experience, the hitchhiking between the Twin Cities and Duluth can be difficult at times.

Headed north. Not the best spot in the world, but far from the worst. Drivers slow down for the bend and have good enough time to see you and there's enough room to safely pull over on either side of the road. Majority of people going north take this route out of town. 

Waited 4 hours, for a total of 10 hours over 2 days trying to get out of this town. By some miracle the coolest Dutch woman ever came by and stopped for us and drove us all the way to Perpignan, saving us from this hitchhiking hell they call Spain. We got very very lucky. Save your sanity and take a bus or rideshare with BlaBlaCar or fly out of the country. Hitchhiking Spain is a nightmare. If you want to make more than 50km a day and not wait 3+ hours every time, you gotta hit it lucky with a non-spaniard.

It was the first time when we waited more than 10 minutes in Sumatra. Probably the spot wasn't good enough, cars were passing by too fast to break, so we had to change a few spots until we finally made it. To get to this junction from Padang Pajang you can simply take the small local minibus for 5000 rupiah (the one with an open door). We got a direct ride to Alahan Panjang (Danau Diatas), and the driver invited us to stay at his place.

Great spot to get south down A63. Waited 20 mins a bit further down as there were other hitchhikers at the bus stop. As soon as we saw them get a lift we went to bus stop and got a lift before we even got our signs out again

There is a big place to pull over in front of the snack shop and the traffic is slowed by a roundabout, seemed like a very good spot, but cars kept parking in the pullover and blocking it, then staring at me like I'm doing somthing insane. One guy came out and sat there watching me for half an hour :/

 I counted over 400 cars driving past. Eventually got picked up by an old greek dude who spoke nothing but greek and refused my attempts to use google translate. Admittedly I'm a lone male with a giant beard which probably didn't help things, but it still felt more hitchiker unfriendly than most places despite the perfect road conditions. But hey, did get out of there!

the first car that drove past pricked me up, both up and down. Met a couple who had also hitchiked up. Seems like on this little mountain road people become more hitchiker friendly. One car was greek, the other Austrians. There where very few cars so You can hitchiker in the middle of the road.

There was space, but all the truck drivers seemed to hate me. eventually a bus driver slowed a little and rubbed his fingers, implying money. it was getting dark, and 10 euros was enough to get to thesaloniki. With paitiance I'm sure you could do it, but the vibe was not great. bus driver only spoke bulgarian. Knowing the word for how much (kolku) was all that was needed. woman on the bus quickly came forward to be a translator to english.

Arriving from Budapest, we got dropped off by a truck just before the border. The border police was not amused about our attempt to walk across the border and our following intention of hitching after the controls to get to Timisoara. They told us to ask the Flixbus that was parked there, and the Flixbus picked us up and took us to Timisoara. I think the border police would also have been okay for us to ask the cars queuing for the passport check. So it's a dodgy spot, but for us it turned out well.

Excellent spot for entering the countryside, but not necessarily worth the risk of going through this area of France, pretty much exclusively local traffic who will only be going very short distances, and very few cars at that. I live in this area and have seen many hitchhikers end up stranded from the lack of vehicles.
I'd only recommend getting in a car going at minimum to Villefranche de Rouergue if hitching west from here.
Personally found a man heading to cahoots very quickly however. 
Would all prove a great spot for heading south to Albi or Toulouse via the opposite junction roundabout at the exit of Baraqueville.

2nd day of Easter (April 2024), a 70 minutes wait and a 422km ride to Kløfta (close to Oslo).
To get there take a local train to Lundamo stasjon, this is the last station to which you use a single ticket (46 NOK) valid in transportation zone A. At that point you are well visible and right by the E6 motorway, cars go 50 km/h and there is a large shoulder for drivers to pull over. I used a sign and my thumb.
This spot is perfect because all the town and very local Trondheim-traffic is already filtered out.

The least worst place to get to PARIS/LE MANS
Getting to Paris from Rennes is a real challenge because there's no good place to hitchhike. I put up a "PEAGE LA GRAVELLE" sign and someone picked me up after 1 hour. 
Position yourself on the roundabout before the exit to the ring road, there's plenty of room to stop.

Ok spot to go to PARIS or RENNES
This spot is quite special because people who take the toll can go east or west, there is a carpool area next to it to ask directly if you are in trouble.
If you're going to Paris, it's best to persuade someone who opens their window at the toll to drop you off at the Aire de La Sarthe-Sargé Le Mans (10min motorway).

Presques toutes les voitures vont à Paris mais j'ai trouvé un militaire qui allait à Clermont; Bon courage si vous allez vers la Bretagne !
Info : Je suis un jeune homme de 23 ans.
