Took bus #304 to  Prokocim CPN and walked a bit. For Tarnow it's kind of hard, because a lot of people take the motorway instead. Try to get some short rides.

Take a bus to Галицьке перехрестя (Halitzke Perekhrestya) and walk out of the city. Behind the Ukrnafta gas station is a nice spot. Can take some time anyway.

Coming from Lviv, after the road from Radiviliv, it's possible to stop cars, even the driver told us, it's not allowed to stop there and better to look for a gas station to hitchhike behind.

To Kyiv, there are two gas stations after the big cross behind the zoo (get there via mashrutka #34, last station "Zoopark"). There is also a bus stop next to the first gas station, but drivers maybe won't see that there is space to stop. Better go to the second gas station (busier) and ask drivers there or hitchhike directly on the road in front of the second gas station.

To Kharkiv: Take metro to Boryspilska and walk out of the city. After the huge roundabout there is a bus stop. Many locals hitchhike here. Try to be different, stand a little bit behind them (close to the motorway sign), show your backpacks and make the thumb gesture.

From Kiev to Kharkiv you can take marshrutka #317a from Kharkivska district to Borispil. Stay on it until the last stop. Now you can walk about 2 kilometers and you will be at the cross P03 and M03. Behind it there is a gas station, you can hitchhike behind.

You arent allowed to cross the border by foot (only possible in Medyka). No trucks here. If you are stranded here, try to stop a car passing the queue of waiting vans and cars - they usually do not have to declare anything and will be much faster over the border. Careful, some of them are speeding quite high.

Quite busy rest area (going south) with petrol station, shop and restaurant. (Also parking and shop on the other side, northwards.) You can eiher walk around the parking talking to people directly or stand/sit here at the exit with a sign. There is nice space to stop and cars are slow. 

If your driver only goes to Luzern, but you are in a hurry to continue along the A2 or A8, this might be the spot to change at. 

Also, there are many nice spots for a tent in the forest below.

Mountain pass Col du Pillon (1546m) with cable lift up to a nearby peak at ~ 3000m.

This place is very exposed and pretty isolated with coldness and lots of wind most of the time, so the little cars passing by are likely to pick you up if you smile nicely.

This is better than the spots further to the east along the 11 in Le Sepey, but it's still a bad spot. (For going towards Aigle that is, cars going east will find it impossible to stop here.) Cars can't stop legally and the is really not a lot of space to stop at all. It is better to use the spot up north at the parking even if you miss most of the traffic.

First péage (for the whole motorway) when going west. It might be a good idea to try to hitchhike here if you're stuck in the (south)east laying valley / villages and want to go far - just write "Péage de Cluses". 

This péage is just as good as any péage: Lots of traffic and low speed. 

If you don't want to stand directly at the péage you have the option of standing right in front of the parking area that comes just after, here cars are still slow and you can catch more of the traffic.

The way back to the ring road, lot of local people who offer you to back inside Toulouse, but wait a bit with a sign and you will find a lift right to Bordeaux! Lot of people work around and sometimes they live far (Montauban), it's not a dead spot at all. Space for the car to stop on the emergency lane but cars drive a bit fast sometimes. Not the best spot, but still good in my opinion.

It's a small petrol station, the cars here go north towards Girona, Sabadell, Vic etc.
Unfortunately only few cars stop here so i had to wait for a while until a spanish girl, accompanied by two other hitchhikers took me to the toll booths (only a few kilometres further).
Additionally, the staff asked me to not ask people for a lift, i was only allowed to stand at the exit with my sign. But nevertheless they were really nice and told me that there is another petrol station 10-20 min of walking away where it would be better to try. Didn't go there though.

Was standing on the highway (after the toll booths). Wasn't such a good idea, the highway control picked me up after an hour. They took me to the next petrol station, so i didn't get in trouble, but if the police spots you here -that's likely to happen- you will.
Also i think you can only access that spot by car.

[A38 EASTBOUND]

It took a matter of seconds holding up a "DERBY :)" sign in order to get me a hitch there on a recent sunny weekday afternoon. This spot is a safe 1.9 mile walk from Lichfield Trent Valley Station, well connected to Birmingham and the West Coast Main Line. One thing to be wary of is that the layby is not long after the brow of a hill and traffic is moving quickly so it's advisable to stand closer to the exit of the layby so as to allow traffic the time to stop.

[M1 SOUTH]

I spent much time surveying the area around the services and there are not that many safe places to stop; The best place to hitch from seemed to be holding a sign out by the entrance to the services building and striking up conversations with people passing in and out. After about half an hour I found a hitch to Northampton Services, well on the way to London.

[M1 SOUTHBOUND]

Having surveyed the area I decided that the best place to hitch from was outside the main services building itself. 

Being relatively close to London you may be able to choose which part of London/direction along the M25 you wish to get to. 

It took about 35 minutes before I was offered a hitch to Brent Cross, a very useful strategic location at the interchange of the M1/A406 North Circular Road.

[THIS IS A SHELL GARAGE]
[A316 SW -> M3]

The garage attendant did not mind me waiting here with sign for M3 / A303. I had no clear defined plan other than to go South West. Within 30 minutes I was offered a hitch all the way to Cornwall but only went as far as Bruton, Somerset. Good spot as a large proportion of traffic will be heading down the M3 and it is the last petrol station before the motorway begins although it is worth bearing in mind that much of that traffic will be headed round the M25. 

A short walk to the East along the A316 you will find Apex Corner. The local 285 bus will take you from there to Heathrow or Kingston and there is also a large Sainsburys supermarket there.

[NORTHBOUND ENTRANCE LAYBY ON A40]
[A40 -> M40 NORTH]

This is a good strategic location, all the traffic from the A312 joins the A40 northbound here and there is a layby on the sliproad so traffic can stop. It took a matter of seconds to find a hitch going to Birmingham from here. 

There is a Texaco petrol station on this side of the roundabout and a McDonald's. The attendant in Texaco was happy for me to hitch from the petrol station itself.

Several buses connect the roundabout with Hounslow (120) and Heathrow Airport/Harrow (140,) It is also a 0.6 mile walk to Northolt Tube station which is on the Central Line.

Traffic lights, zebra crossing, bus stop makes it a good spot towards JAROSLAW and RZESZOW. We (2 boys) waited 35min to get a ride to RZESZOW in summer morning. But there was much more traffic in the late afternoon day before, though.

Of course, it's better to hitch on the northern end of the ringroad if you want to go towards RZESZOW, but we slept about 300m from this spot and decided to try here. It's also closer from the city center than the northern end.

Good spot to hitch to Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht. (don't stand on the bridge -- I waited over 30 min up there and the traffic light didn't have a good timing to talk to drivers) av. wait - 10-15 min during afternoon

City bus no. 22 will get you here (to TRZCIANA) from RZESZOW. It stops by GALERIA RZESZOWSKA (Pilsudskiego/Cieplinskiego crossroads, there's a hitchpoint there too but it's senseless). Get off the bus right after it leaves the main road, walk under it (there's an underground passage) and go about 100m east past the church. You will find a bus stop there. Cars go quite slow and it's a good spot despite being located on the top of the hill.

2 boys waited 12min here with a sign 'KRAKOW' and got a direct ride to their destinaton. It was 12.26, friday 14.06.2013.

Bus stop nearby GALERIA RZESZOW shopping centre. We mistook that place for NOWY SWIAT shopping centre (2km westwards) and spent 45min hitching with a sign 'KRAKOW' with no result. Then we took bus no. 22 to the village of TRZCIANA and succeed there.

This is a good spot to hitchhike towards Maribor.
It's right before the entrance on the highway. The spot is after you pass Vransko. It's actually a small road that goes to the right, from the main road, to a house.
The spot is very good because the cars can see you from the distance and they have enough room to park and pick you up.

The best point for hiking to Saint-Petersburg from Moscow, IMHO, take free bus from Rechnoy vokzal metro station to "Kapitoliy" shopping mall, go under the Moscow ring road, it's from the right side of "Kapitoliy" and you'll on the bus stop Butakovo (Бутаково on Russian). Or another way: take suburban train (16,5 roubles) from Petrovsko-Razumovskaya station in Moscow to Khimki and just go to the left side from the station. Try to hike, but only with sigh with place where you would like to go.

The traffic is altough to speedy for this spot to be a good hitching-spot, try 1000m South along the road at the roundabout.
To get here, take city-bus 7 towards Hedvigsborg and leave at Storängen, walk South.

This is clearly one of the worst hitchhiking spots I've ever come across - the motorway entrance looks like a race lane, so that cars get a high speed and can't stop for a lift... moreover, there's no space actually. Don't even try this place and instead you need to walk all the city to get to the next junction on Salomon-Hirzel-Strasse - there you easily can find a lift towards Germany :)

If you don't want to walk the distance from the mall "Banginis to "Jakų žiedas" bus stop where there's ussually a lot of hitchhikers and not much space to stop cars you can choose to take a bus from the bus station direction "Gargždai" (about 1,5 - 2 lt) and ask the driver to drop you at the "Dauparai" turn from the highway, then  you just take your thumb out and wait not more than 15 min on the wide sideway. (maybe windy in the winter, then "jakų žiedas stop" is better cause it has the walls to protect the sound from the highway)

This is too easy! I hitch to Killarney almost every day just to buy some groceries, normaly it takes 3 minuts, but never stand there longer than 15 minuts, everybody goes to Killarney, 'cause it is still 5km. You stand at the bus stop, and the drivers can already see you from far away. The buses only pass 4 times daily, and walking to Killarney is not necessary although there is a path next to the road that leads you directly in there.

From the other spot near massy (under the bridge), keep walking on the lane (a bit dangerous), then another lane appears on your right, cross it when you see a gap in circulation (be carefull) and hitchike here with a sign (here, A10 and A11 traffic are mixed…).

Heading to SAVONA. After waiting 1,5h at the Reststop of the A4 before this turnoff I got bored and I wanted to try this toll station, somebody had told me about. I walked behind the guardrail along the highway - don't do this, dangerous! I had to cross a bridge that had a low traffic 3 lane highway beneath me. I couldn't walk on the inside, no emercency lane/shoulder. So I held onto the fence from the outside and walked on a 30cm wide path. In the middle of the bridge on of the flagstones was loose and tilted, a few crumbs fell down, no cars underneath - yet very scary. I made it safely to the toll station and had a sign SAVONA - a bit too small. After 10 min a car stopped but since they didn't go south and couldn't take me to the next southbound gas station I let them go. After a total of 25 min the police showed up and was super friendly with trying to speak english :) They said it was too dangerous for me to stand there so they took me to a bus stop to go to the city and take the train to Savona.
So as a car had stopped, if you can get there and have a sign probably not too bad. Just don't walk along the highway.

Имеет смысл стопить прям на лепестке, под указателем. Поскольку поворот, низкая скорость, имеется отрезок без ограждений, где просто выехать на обочину. Правда, ловится поток только из Томска.

The simplest option to go directly to Leipzig.
Stand with a sign a few meters before the bus stop.
The spot is excellent (cars go relatively slowly and have lots of space to stop) but few are going directly to Leipzig.
Be patient, we (boy+girl) waited 40 mins.

To Chemnitz or south on highway A72.
Stand in the "closed from traffic" area marked here facing the drivers that are preparing to turn onto this road. They have enough space to stop.
Thumbing is enough (most cars go in one direction) but alternatively you can use a sign with a letter "C".

UPDATE JULY 2013 ! 

Estimated VERY good spot towards Eindhoven, (Utrecht), Heerlen and Venlo, (Nijmegen). 

BEST SPOT! 

Crossing N2 with Professor Cobbenhagenstraat/Voltastraat. 

At this crossing there is an exit lane for the road works traffic. Here drivers can stop very easily. The whole flow of north-south traffic passes by. 

The spot exists since around 30 June 2013 (and can disappear in half a year).

The good old way to hitchhike. Talking with the truck drivers is always a gooid option. And this is the place to do this when leaving São Paulo this way, Lots of truckers stop here before hitting the long road. Just talk with them. Be friendly and everything  will be alright. 

To reach here, get down on ARMENIA metro station and take the bus GUARULHOS VIA DUTRA. Ask for the bus driver to tell you, get down on the Policia Rodoviária Federal and walk to the autostation.

CEASA: There's a train (CPTM - ESMERALDA LINE) that takes you here easily. You have to take the YELLOW LINE of the METRO and then do the combination. Get down in CEASA station. (In every station you can ask for a map of lines). Here is not the best option for those who want a fast ride. Take your time, be amazed with this huge (HUGE!!) space full of truckers, fruits, greens, fish, and lots of other foods and talk with EVERYONE. When I say everyone, i mean EVERYONE (not only truckers). Say them where you want to go, ask if they know where people who go that way, usually park their vehicles or in which tent inside CEASA they have their lunch. People who works here knows lots of people, and if they like you, chances are HIGHER for you to find a trucker going to RIO, CURITIBA, PORTO ALEGRE, CHILE, PARAGUAY, ARGENTINA, MANAUS, PORTO VELHO. EVERYWHERE! Truckers here can go everywhere!!!

When I tryed to hitch a ride from here, I was looking for Rio de Janeiro, I couldn't find anyone going there in that day (only in the next one) but I received offers of truckers who were going to LOTS of other places.

Direction Prague: If you want to continue to Prague and your driver goes East or into Brno this is the LAST Gas Station (=good spot) on Highway for him to drop you. I got lucky twice because drivers always took me to this one 49.161095,16.571971 . But they both drove about 6km detour to get there and 11km to get back on their way. If people don't have time and are not willing to drive you out of their way: get off here! If you miss it it'll be a ~5km walk to get to the next good spot (see coordinates above). It is an agip gas station + parking lot.

İ waited maybe 25 there, and İ spent 10 minutes eating melon with a young melon-selling lad who offered me some. Anywhere along this broad highway will do. There is place for cars to stop without worry (for them and you).
There is one problem; make sure to ask the driver if he goes to the EXACT place you are saying, and ask him if he is taking you FOR FREE.
My story goes like this: a guy stopped, picked me up and stopped at Viranşehir. He asked me for 10 lira. İ nearly fought with him to make him take his greasy dirty hands off my bag. Moral of the story; avoid weird moments by asking questions before riding.

15 - 20 mins wait on a Wednesday morning (10am) to go towards the first gas station on the Ring R0 going South. 

The spot is just next to the terminus of tram line 4 and cars have some space to stop in the roundabout itself as there is a parking entrance. Moreover, there are traffic lights to allow trams to arrive and leave the terminus (every 3 minutes). 

I had a big back pack with me and 3 card boards. One with a "next gas station symbol", and the other 2 with Mons and Paris.

A lot of trucks returning to the high way from the toll area but little place to stop. There is no hard shoulder but still the ramp is just wide enough for drivers to stop. If you get stuck in this huge toll area this is a possibility but it seems that the parking 500m higher on the high way might be a better option, though I didn't test it. You might also want to try it somewhere on the road from the toll area to this ramp. Though it's a rather bad place we got a ride almost immediately.

A decent spot to hitchhike south towards Hannover if you get dropped off at the nearby autohof. There's a luxury amount of space to stop at the side (though it's a highway ramp so it's already illegal).

Direction Paris or Toulouse

For some reason, it seems to be difficult to get a ride there.

Stand right after the roundabout at the beginning of the access road to the freeway. There is no need in going farther up the access road, as all the cars will pass by you anyway.  The traffic police has told me to go back pass the freeway entrance sign before but other than that no problem. If you stay right next to the sign, you're legal !

Direction TOULOUSE (south) : 

The autoroute is free starting a bit south of Brive and going North almost to Orléans. As a consequence, lots of local people take the freeway to go to small places south of the town, in the countryside, and they often get off before the next tollbooth, in the middle of nowhere where there aren't a lot of cars, so you don't want that :)

Going towards TOULOUSE you should either find :

-a ride that will leave you at the next Rest area (Aire de Pech Montat - 16 kms south), which has a gas station and a store.

- or a ride that will get you at or pass the tollbooth (Péage in French), which is 20 kms south from the hitchhiking point.

Going East, you can access here easily taking a local bus (n° 19, 2 or 3$) and walk a bit. There is not that much from this point, you're out of the short local traffic. Got picked up pretty easily, but not for a long ride.

No shoulder for on-ramp!  Too dangerous.  There is a petrol station down the street and maybe you'll have better luck there...

Entrance of the highway direction to France. Not very good, signs that forbid hh, weird autostrada entrance.
You can give it a try if you count to be picked up fast. Get here easily and cheaply with the regional train from Genova centre till Genova Voltri. I got caught by police but since Im Italian I managed to defend myself.

Simply amazing. perfect traffic, perfect speed. 
Get here walking from the centre (45min), there's also a bus which stops at the near roundabout.
I was very lucky and got a huge lift, but people stopped to propose rides. Most cars go to Merida and Madrid directly.

If you're planning to go westside, Mersin or even further, you can hitchhike from this point. This is the entrance of the highway near from the first class apartments. So it is safe to make hitchhike because they will try to understand you. But on other points they may not trust to you. So here is good!

This is an entrance for autostrada from 101 (or old 1) and also a small rest place. The traffic isn't so high, but there are a lot of foreign people (Austrians, Germans)
So if you want to go to Veinna, or Germany, it is an ideal place.

There's a toll station here for getting onto the A1. Great place for hitchhiking, although people will come to tell you that it's illegal to hitchhike on the highway, considering that "officially" you're on the highway when you're past the toll station, even though cars go really slowly and it's perfectly safe.
However, if you don't speak polish, it will take the person long enough to try to explain to you that you don't belong there that you'll get picked up by someone.

Around 20 minutes wait on a Thursday evening (15:00). 

I had a big back pack with me and 3 card boards. One with a "next gas station symbol", and the other 2 with Toulouse and Tarbes. 

The place is good as there is a lot of space for drivers to stop and pick you up, but on the other hand, people leaving the péage (toll) don't seem very focused on their driving as they are putting away their wallet, coins, ticket and what not... 

I was picked up by a driver who needed to go to the bathroom on the parking just after the péage. 

He dropped me at the péage of Toulouse where I could continue towards Bayonne.

Around 1h30 minutes wait on a Saturday morning (10:45).

Welcome in Spain! The moment I was dropped by my previous hitch, the police (Spanish) came out and said I was not allowed to hitch. 
After some discussion and explanation they agreed to let me hh... 

A lot of truckers signed me good luck without taking me as, as it seems, they don't want to stop in front of the police station and get in trouble with them. 

I had a big back pack with me and 3 card boards. One with a "next gas station symbol", and the other 2 with Donostia/San Sebastian and Burgos.

I was picked-up by an Ukrainian trucker driving with a Portugues license plate. 

HH in Spain already being difficult, you might prefer to hh from another spot than one located just in front of a police station ;-)

Just after the roundabout, the speed is very low and is a good point for hitchhiking to Costa Rei and Punta Molentis beaches. Waiting time about 20 minutes.

Justo pasando la rotonda, la velocidad es baja y los autos pueden parar fácilmente. Es un buen punto para ir a las playas de Costa Rei y Punta Molentis. Tiempo de espera 20 minutos aprox.

Dopo la rotonda, la velocità è bassa, quindi le macchine possono fermarsi facilmente. Un ottimo posto per chiedere un passaggio per le spiagge di Costa Rei e Punta Molentis. Tempo di attesa 20 minutti.

The spot to get a lift in the direction of Antwerp. Before the ramp there are traffic lights and enough space for cars to stop. Road is not very busy but if cars turn right they all go in the good direction. Recommended sign.

Three gas stations in the row. Cars mainly heading to Stettin (Szczecin) but some of them also Gdansk, Bydgoszcz or even further. Good idea is to wait with a sign at the beginning of the main road going through the stations. Spot recommended for people who hitchhike from Germany and don't want to go to Szczecin.

Right after the entrance to the gas station there's a place for HH and cars to stop. Almost each car going to the north, often as far as Gdansk. Cars don't speed and you can be easily noticed as you are in the middle of a long hill and cars come from its top. Local experienced hitchhiker pointed this place to be the best in the area to go to the north.

I actually left a comment for the spot just north of here, but this is the location that I left from. I stood behind the road fences on the grass to avoid any encounters with the police. I stood with a sign that read 'Syd' and I was picked up within 10 minutes by a kayaker on his way to Wangaratta, which is where I was dropped.

I left here on a wet Saturday morning at 09:00 after catching a train out to Cragieburn. If I hitch north again, I'll leave from here, and if I ever leave Melbourne by car, I'll be sure to pass this spot for future hitchhikers!

This is a service station just past Glenrowan and before Wangaratta. I was dropped here on my way to Sydney.

It was really wet, so it was difficult to get around to people and ask for a lift, so I waited for people to walk through and pay for their fuel. The third person I asked gave me a lift to Albury. In hindsight I would wait for a lift to a farther destination, as I had trouble finding a lift from Albury. All in all, a good spot when you're already on the road.

I would go to the spot on the on-ramp in the future. Avoid here unless you want to get into Albury.

I left here on a Sunday morning with the intention to bypass Sydney. I stood with a sign that said 'Syd' on it just to get going. There is a turning lane just after this spot that cars can pull in to, but the traffic starts to speed up after the lights.

I waited here for over 30min until someone stopped. I'd suggest waiting before the lights, or asking people at the Caltex Service Station.

This looks like the place I was dropped at just before my driver turned off for Wollongong. I recommend anyone attempting to bypass Sydney from Melbourne to get dropped here and look for a lift. The third driver I asked was going to Newcastle, and eradicated the Sydney headache.

Traffic is going pretty quick, but I awkwardly camped here overnight. There is a horse training facility nearby. You can jump the fence and camp there for flatter ground, but you'll probably be spotted in the morning, as the riders are up at dawn. They called out hello to me!

In terms of leaving, someone pulled out of the service station to pick me up. I waited around 10-15 minutes. I didn't bother asking people at the service station, but that would have worked had it been later in the day with more traffic.

In theory this is a good spot since there is a service station, but for some reason it does not receive much of the traffic. I stood here for around an hour on the on-ramp, as I didn't think it was wise to hitch on the motorway. There looked to be a camping area around 500m up the road, but you can only get to it by walking on the motorway.

If you can avoid this spot I would. If you are coming from the south and your driver gets off here, then get dropped off at the earlier town: Coolongolook.

I'm from Iasi, and this is where I'd stop, if I were to pick a hitchhiker. Cars slow-down at the roundabout, and they have plenty of time to see you. This place is used sometimes by local hitchhikers, but I've never seen more than one. If you're looking for trucks, they circulate on the street which enters the tunnel just below.

You could probably walk to the on-ramp, but there wasn't a clear pathway there, so I opted for the service station.

When I arrived I was behind another hitchhiker. He left within 15min of me arriving. It took me another 45min to get a lift, but I said no to two lifts, as I wanted a longer distance ride. I ended up finding a ride all the way to Coffs Harbour for the night. Camped with my drivers and was dropped off at Ballina the following day. 

This service station services traffic in both directions, so it would make sense to have a sign that reads the direction you wish to travel. 

The roadside garbage collectors walked past me and told me they see hitchhikers here all the time, so it's a popular drop off point!

I was heading north to Byron Bay on the Pacific Highway when I decided that i'd make a detour for Nimbin. I decided to get out and walk here to wait for a ride to Lismore. 

Walk past the merging lanes so the drivers to freak out about colliding with other cars. Once I did that and had my sign with 'Lis' on it, I found a ride within 5 minutes.

I'd only stop here if you're coming up from the south and don't want to go into Ballina / Byron.

This was quite possibly the quickest ride I ever procured. As soon as a I set my bags down and reached for my sign after leaving my last driver, another car tooted their horn at me and once I showed him my sign he agreed to take me to Byron Bay. 

He said that it's real common for people to hitchhike around here. This was a good spot to get to Byron, but the road can be a little tricky, so do it in daytime or with a super chilled driver not in a rush!

Great place to depart from Gelendjik to the directions of Krasnodar and Sochi!

Road traffic here is mostly filtered from the local one. Staying right after the "Lukoil" oil station you have good chances to get a ride within several minutes.

In order to get there: take a bus from Centralny Rynok of Gelendjik in the arbitrary out-city direction (except for Divnomorsk and Kabardinka). Then ask a driver to drop you near the turn to Aderbievka ("povorot na Aderbievku") and walk forward 150m.

Compared to other towns on the rockies, it's a bad hitchiking town, I had to wait at least an hour, then I just decided to move towards the gas station and someone at the light picked me up. Plenty of room to pull over, but no cars stopping.

Take a bus to the new bus station.
There is a Soriana market out there.
On that big road (the hwy to the East), go left, crossing Av.Patria, still walking and you will see a Pemex gas station, where there are many cars, pick ups and trucks going East (Mexico DF, Morelia, Guanajuato, etc)

Tomas un bus hacia la nueva central camionera, a fuera hay un soriana, pues en esa carretera principal vas hacia la izquierda (como volviendo a Gdl), cruzarás Av.Patria, y en seguida llegarás a una gasolinera Pemex

There is a traffic bridge in front of the station you can take in order to change your direction. On the other side there is a spot on your left and a station on your right. Just keep walking along the road.

One of the few gas stations along the A1 that are actually within the highway itself. 
There is a relatively decent amount of space amount of space on the way out, under the sign.
There is also another spot if you walk along the road for 1/5 km, but traffic may drive trough fast.

For whoever wants to swap direction, there is also a traffic bridge not far from there walking north along the road. Right at the other side there is yet another gas station on the way towards Madrid.

Just after the entry of the petrol station there's much space for cars to stop and since the exit is on the other side they see you when they get in so they have some time to decide if they take you or not. First time we hitched thumbs up to Amsterdam we waited like 10 minutes, second time we hitched with a cardboard "to the south/naar het zuiden" and we waited for 15 minutes to get a car to Breda.

Ein wirklich guter Spot um aus der Stadt herauszutrampen, viele Leute fahren auf die Autobahn und dann weiter Richtung Gotha/Erfurt, einmal auf der Piste kommst du dann eh gut voran. Du kannst an der Tankstelle herumfragen oder genauso gut am Rand stehen und mit dem Daumen winken. Es ist nicht viel Platz zum Anhalten, aber klappt trotzdem.

Kurz hinter der Kreuzung von Eisenach-Mitte steht es sich super Richtung Mühlhausen/Eichsfeld weil im Grunde jeder zweite hier wenigstens bis Mihla oder Nazza fährt, so bist du einmal auf der Piste und kommst auch gut weiter - über die Woche sind aber auch viele Pendler aus MHL/UH/EIC unterwegs, die bei BOSCH oder Opel arbeiten und dich gern mitnehmen, bevorzugt zum Feierabend.

To go direction Eskişehir, take the bus 121 from Kızılay direction Turkuaz-Toki (bus stop along Atatürk Bulvarı, around 100 m down from Güven Parki before a bridge above the main street). It's a long ride, at some point you'll see the signs direction Istanbul (highway), pass them and after that point you can get off anywhere. I always hitchhike at a Shell petrol station around 6 km down the road.

Huge gas station on the highway. Most cars going west, Parma-Milano, but also many north, Verona-Brennero. To get there take the bus from Modena autostazione and get off in "tre olmi" (on school holiday there are few buses and it might be preferable to walk or take another bus half the way). Go left in the roundabout down "strada tre olmi". There's a hotel next to the gas station, and from its parking lot there is a kind of always open swinging gate through the fence.

A good bet if you manage to get here and are heading north/west. There are quite a few cars and trucks stopping here for gas or just to have a coffee in the bar. The only minor flaw is that the station has two parallel roads (parking lot and petrol) and cars already start to accelerate where these two join, so you have to choose between one or another.

Got here in the middle of the night. This station is pretty small, and to make it worse the shop is being remodelled so the facilities are provisional. Mind you, the petrol station is NOT nonstop. There is a small park next to the parking place where some suspicious looking people were already sleeping by the time I installed my sleeping bag on one of the picnic tables. Had the worst sleep (well, lack of it) ever but got picked up the next morning by a nice old lady who stopped for a coffee.

Good to hitch towards Gebze/Izmit and the Yalova ferry (to go south towards Izmir and the southern coast). Just get off the metro stop, cross the big road on the bridge (make sure you're on the road with signs towards Gebze). There's a place that is good enough to stop just after the interchange. There's a lot of traffic though, so probably only cars going on the right lane will be able to stop.

Take the tram 50, 51, 52 from "Mainz Hauptbahnhof" to "Mainz-Hechtsheim, Kurmainz Kaserne". If you get out at "Kurmainz Kaserne" you can already see the motorway. Walk about 5 minutes along the main street. Directly before the drive-up there is a traffic light and a traffic island where you can stand and ask drivers to bring you to the A67 (close to Darmstadt there is a service station). To get on this traffic island you have to cross four lanes.

Huge service station, lot of traffic but expect long waiting if you want to get to Italy. Most of the people who stop by are going to Nice. Also, a lot of rich people who don't like to see tramps in their Audis.

If you get thrown out in Cannes (as I was) and despite the above still want to give this place a go, here is how you can get here - the legal way.

From Exit 42 you will need to find your way to Chemin du Belvedere which goes parallel to the highway. The roads are quite creepy especially by night so I wouldn't recommend it for girls. Once you reach the other end of the road, turn left, then turn left again. BE CAREFUL, there is no pavement and very scarce lighting, I almost got run over in the dark. Walk along the Chemin du Ferrandou until you reach the service station. The area is fenced but at the farther end there is a revolving door so you can enter without climbing the fence.

The good thing is that the shop manager lets people sleep inside after the restaurant is closed, so with a lattice and sleeping bag you can get a decent night's sleep in darkness and safety if you run out of rides.

Relatively big service area which in fact turns it very difficult to harness. Autogrill and petrol station are separated, meaning you cannot attack clients of both. At the highway entrance the cars are already going fast so they are not likely to stop there. The cardboard approach will definitely not work here, in my experience the best way is to camp in front of the autogrill and ask people returning to their cars, interleaved with a quick round at the truck parking lot behind.

Also, be careful with the highway police. They told me that it was forbidden to hitchhike on the highway, in vain I was trying to explain we were eventually OFF the highway... They didn't fine me though, but as a headsup, if you see them coming hide anything that would give you away.

Just pointing the exactly spot where you should come to hitchhike, as I see someone tried to point it here but put it in the other side of the road (which can take you to other directions if you don´t realize that). So you can click in that other spot to get more information now.
About my experience: exactly here just where the cars leave the roundabout they have a good space to pull over for you. They pass slowly in this roundabout as there are some traffic lights, so you might be lucky ;)

I was here hitchhiking with a friend (boy + girl) and it was a sunday about 5pm. Guess it took about 30minutes or a bit more to someone to pick us up. That was an irregular day because there was happening that Iron Man competition, so the nearby streets were full of people. Even the guy who picked us up had came to the city to watch this event. Anyways, there´s traffic lights here and there´s space for the cars to pull over, and you don´t have to walk too much if you´re in city center to get here.

If you want to go to Gijón, that spot is perfect. There is a traffic light a hundred meters in front of the on-ramp. You are allowed to go directly to the on-ramp, but I would recommend you to just wait at the side of the road with a side in your hands. Made the best experience I ever had at this point, however I was just lucky I guess.

Perfect place for hitching in both directions - Madrid and Barcelona. Big parking for autopista and national road, lot of cars and trucks. We hitched a lift to Barcelona in nearly 15 minutes.

Take 114 from by the Opera house (in front of hotel Lviv) and take it for 15min cca... Go left on the crossroad and best of luck!
We stood there (police on the other side), cars are quite slow just there and we got a ride to Polish border (Hrebenne) in 10-15min...

MOP WIREK (dir. Wrocław)
MOP HALEMBA (dir. Katowice/Kraków)
Service station in both directions, other side crossable. 

HOW TO GET THERE:
from Katowice Train Station (bus stop Mikołowska) by bus 177/130 to stop Kochłowice Kolonia (177) or Kochłowice Park Pamięci (130). After ca. 10 min walk you will see the highway and gas station. There's a hole in a fence somewhere.

Such a perfect spot. If you want to go to the north of Brittany/St-malo/St-brieg/Brest, every cars have to cross this small village where the motorway ends. For only 1km, there is no more motorway but only a single street ! Parking spot on both sides of the road, cars that drive slow (50km/h), what else? 

NB : if your driver you picked before is going to Rennes, you can ask him to take the N175 (St-Brieuc - Brest direction), he'll join this spot in only 4 minutes and be able to drive back to the 184 in the direction of Rennes. It's a small detour for the driver but such a perfect place for you ! Don't be shy, ask the driver

Ich kam von Süden, A71 und musste Richtung Westen, A4 und dachte es wäre der beste Punkt, um ein Auto zu erwischen, was über die A71 auf die A4 fährt weil mein Ride vorher nach Erfurt reingegangen wäre - totaler Fehlschlag; lieber nach Erfurt-West (A4) oder Erfurt-Bindersleben (A71) mitfahren - von da aus ist der Anschluss nach Westen (Gotha, Eisenach und weiter) besser.

to go down south towards sisteron and further to aix-en-provence and marseille. stand just after the Total gas station, cars arrive slowly and there is space to stop. i guess you can take bus 1 towards serviolan (gap buses are free !) and stop at les terrasses if you don't want to walk.

Even better than the one the wiki site is giving. Same way to get (local buses for 2-3$) there but keep walking over the bridge (there is a bike lane). Look on your left and that's it.
It's pretty easy to get there climbing the fence at the junction with the bridge (i've done this with my 20kg backpack)
Perfect spot and your should have more cars than the previous one.

Direction Bern/Zurich:
Beginning of the entrance to the motorway. Drivers have plenty of time and a very good view to see you and your sign but unfortunately, there is no place for them to pull over except on the road going straight. However, the cars have to slow down at the point where you will be hitching to take the bend and so may stop on the road itself. There are two lanes so following traffic can always take the other lane. I got lucky and only waited 30 minutes on a slow sunday morning. Most of the traffic coming this way is taking the motorway, so it is worth to hitch from here.

this rating is for the Central de Abastos near Iztapalapa, SE of downtown.  It can be a good place to catch long rides with truckers if you speak good Spanish or maybe are a good looking gringa!  Check out the Pension (tractor trailer parking lot) to chat up drivers.  However, many of them stay here for days or weeks at a time.  So, while you might get lucky, it is much easier to catch rides out on the freeway.  take a bus to the Cuota if you're headed on 57 towards Queretaro.

little service station but perfect to go to rennes  !

ma manière (english follow):
si tu arrives du sud, arrête-toi au péage de l'autoroute du sud, et attend d'avoir une voiture qui peut passer à cette station (souvent ça leur fait peu de détour s'il vont dans le centre-nord). Puis attendez-ici en demandant aux gens qui s'y arrête: sois sûr qu'en 10minutes maxi tu trouveras ton bonheur à direction de rennes !

my tip: if you come from south, stop at the south hichway's "péage", and wate for a car who go to this station. Then stop here: be sure you'll find someone for rennes in 10min maximum.
Have a nice trip !

Direction Valencia
By Spanish standards, this is a very good hitching spot. Traffic coming from the roundabout is slow moving and there is a wide bus lay-by for a driver to pull over safely. If you are brave enough to turn down the short lifts, you will be rewarded with a direct lift to Valencia.

Direction Almeria or Granada
All autovia junction, right lane going to Granada and left lane going to Almeria. Although there is a hard shoulder, traffic is going way too fast for the drivers to see you AND stop safely on the hard shoulder before taking the bend. Also, it is totally illegal to hitch here, so try not to get dropped off here. I got extremely lucky and got a lift before the police came.

we hitch hike from here to the east and north to Hisar. Better hike near the red sign board (after the flyover) for better attention. We stood before that for 1 hour still got nothing and moved to the signboard and waited 15 minutes for a lift

Got dropped off here by a nice lady. Unfortunately I was headed for Munich, and previous advice from another hitcher the day before was that people going from Switzerland to Germany avoid using the autobahn since they have to buy a vignette. Instead, they cross the border through the towns and rejoin the autobahn there.

Might be OK if you're headed into Austria, though.

W kierunku Warszawy lub Łodzi to jedyne dobre miejsce. Obwodnica sprawia, że ruch omija miasto i trzeba się do niej dostać, żeby coś złapać. Dodatkowo w tym miejscu krzyżuje się wiele dróg tranzytu i nie tylko. Łatwiej się w tym miejscu łapie w stronę Warszawy/Łodzi niż z Wrocławia, ponieważ we Wrocławiu trudno wskazać jedno miejsce na obwodnicy, które łapie i tych co wyjeżdżają z miasta i tych co miasto omijają. Przez Oleśnicę już praktycznie nikt nie przejeżdża w kierunku Łodzi/Warszawy etc. więc w razie czego omijajcie wjazd do miasta, bo potem jest parę kilometrów dreptania!

W kierunku Wrocławia, albo i dalej doskonałe miejsce. Duży pas na którym mogą się zatrzymać samochody, relatywnie blisko do dwóch Orlenów, oraz dworca PKS'u. Tą trasą musi przejechać praktycznie każdy, kto chce udać się do Wrocławia. Wprawdzie ruch idzie teraz głównie obwodnicą S8, ale na obwodnicy w stronę Wrocławia jest bardzo źle skonstruowany dla autostopowicza pas wjazdowy. Więc nie opłaca się dreptać prawie 3 km, żeby mieć dużo gorsze miejsce. Tu samochody jadą zawsze wolno i przynajmniej co drugi jedzie do Wrocławia. Dużo też tranzytu z Kluczborka jedzie obwodnicą potem w stronę autostrady A4.

Od granicy Mongolsko-Chinskiej można spokojnie dostać się tu na piechotę, jest to dłuższy spacer, ale pierwsze doświadczenie Chin zapiera dech w piersiach. 
Na drodze nie ma zbyt dużego ruchu, kierowcy zazwyczaj bacznie się przyglądają i machają. 
Zaleta tego miejsca jest to, że nie ma tu ruchu lokalnego, a każdy wybiera się w dłuższa podróż. Dość łatwo można dojechać stad do Pekinu.

Przystanki linii PKS są świetnym punktami do łapania w stronę Siedlec bądź, Warszawy (odwrotny kierunek). 
Nieopodal znajduje się  przejście dla pierwszych co wymusza na kierowcach zwolnienie, a potencjalnym autostopowiczom daje większe szanse na załapanie podwózki. Jako, że jest to główna trasa  w stronę Terespola ruch jest  gęsty i ciągły.

Na koło przystanku w stronę Siedlec znajduje się sklep ‘Delikatesy’, gdzie po rozsądnych cenach można zaopatrzyć się w konserwy, zupki Chińskie, czy tez  napoje ‘orzeźwiające’  etc.

Przystanek linii PKS w stronę Warszawy. 

Około 40m od przystanku znajdują się światła dla pieszych skutecznie spowolniając ruch na tym odcinku i jedocześnie dając kierowcom przyjrzenia się autostopowiczom, oraz dłuższej chwili na podjęcie decyzji. 
Stojąc w tym miejscu można liczyć na szybka podwózkę do stolicy (5-25minut).

I was there for 30 mins and only saw a few full cars come into the station. I ended up just walking to Sveti Kriz Zacretje and taking the train (was 33.60 kn). 

If you were here during a more prime time (summer, earlier in the day) I think it'd be pretty easy to get a ride to Zagreb. It's only 46 km or so.

In order to pass the border you need to be in the car, usually is not that difficult to get one. If you experience difficulties security guys may help you to find someone who is willing to take you across the border or possibly even somewhere further away. There is not many people who can speak English so please be prepared to communicate in Russian or Mongolian.

It's the best spot to hitch hike to Prague. It's a bus stop so there is a lot of place for cars to stop. Moreover, its after a crossroad so ppl can see you from a distance. 
To get there you have to take a Auchan bus, and then go along the main road towards Kłodzko. After you cross the bridge and a crossroad you will see that bus stop.   
It took us 10 min to catch a stop :)

There is a parking place with a water fountain right in front, and a supermarket very close into town. In summer you'll have tons of hitchhikers! Put a big sign and go as close as possible to the toll.

On that big road (the hwy to the East), go left, crossing Av.Patria, still walking and you will see a Pemex gas station, where there are many cars, pick ups and trucks going East (Mexico DF, Morelia, Guanajuato, etc)

Tomas un bus hacia la nueva central camionera, a fuera hay un soriana, pues en esa carretera principal vas hacia la izquierda (como volviendo a Gdl), cruzarás Av.Patria, y en seguida llegarás a una gasolinera Pemex

 Took me 30 mins to get a ride, but there were 2 people at the store corner, 2 girls on the stretch of road and then later a guy that went in front of me. My ride even picked up those same girls later.

I got there just walking since the industries buildings of loriguilla. It was at the end of the summer, maybe in winter it's not possible to cross the river. The advantage of that spot if you come from Barcelona in the highway you can ask to your driver to drop you here because it's posible to go back to A7 direction south or to the inside of valencia city. It will take just 5 minuts. Moreover if you come from madrid you can get of here to reaches Valencia if it's needed.

The best spot for going West out of North Bay.  There's a stop light and plenty of room to pull over.  If you go down the road to the hospital, there's another light but it only turns red when a car is turning in or out of the hospital and there's less room to pull over.  I hitched over a dozen times from this spot.  Unfortunately, North Bay is not a good hitching town and I averaged over an hour wait.

From our point of view this is a good spot not to hitchhike but to ask someone to get you to the better hitchhiking spot approximately 5 kilometers further (marked  also on this map, OMV gas station). From there we found a car in 10 minutes just by asking people.

pentling is a big resting station with a lot of traffic coming through towards the north (maybe the traffic to the south is always stopping here) you can take a bus to "Hohengebraching" from the central station (should take you about 15min) and then you have to walk for 10min til you are there. very easy to find a ride

Towards Helsinki. Most of the cars going to Helsinki from Kouvola should pass this place. A lot of space for cars to stop and good visibility but cars usually drive at high speed. Also good visibility for drivers, that enter the road from the cafe across the road and they drive slow enough to spot you. You can also try asking drivers at the parking space near that cafe across the road.

Impossible to get a ride north, I only got offered rides to Mühlheim (MH license Plate). You would want to have someone with a RE, BOT or HER or something further north License Plate to get on the A2.

The main problem of this spot seems to me to be that the kind of people driving by are doing short distance rides  and don't seem to want to stop for someone they don't know. But there are also nice and interesting persons willing to stop and, luckily, they'll get you directly to Lisbon! So it really depends on your luck. The road has many crosspoints, so be sure you're in the correct one, whether you want to go to Lisbon or the Cascais part.

there's a roundabout and a gas station near both the entrance and exit of the A8. i would reccommend standing with a sign at the roundabout, as the station doesn't enjoy much traffic and you will also be visible to cars coming from the town if you choose the roundabout.

in general, a good place to go to gijón, might be a little harder to get to avilés, which is where you need to be headed if you plan a longer trip, as the next service station is just before avilés.

The entrance to Santa Victoria do Palmar is a good spot to hitch hike, cars and trucks go slowly, mostly to Porto Alegre, Pelotas or Rio Grande. It's very easy to hitch hike from Chui to here, and from here to the rest of the cities.

The toll of Gravataí is a great spot to hitch hike. I did it in october 2013, on my way to Santa Catarina.

HOW TO GET THERE?
You go to the Terminal Rodoviaria do Camelao, in Porto Alegre, and take the bus to de "Pedagio Gravataí", it costed $7 reales when I did it. There you walk a few meters and stand on the road side. I waited for 10 minutes only!

There is a very famous gas station on the road previous to arrive to Biguacu. People think it's a good spot, but they had bad experiences so they don't allow hitch hiker to stay there. It's not longer a good point to hitch hike. If you happen to be there, the best option is going to Biguacu and walked down the road a few blocks, until you cross a bridge over a river. It's not the best option, but I hitch hiked there to Sao Paulo in 10 minutes.

Going to Sao Paulo, you can stand in the road where the Don Pedro II crossis a urban avenue. Many cars take the avenue, so in that point you meet directly with cars and trucks going to Sao Paulo. I got there by car, so don't know exactly how to do it by public transportation. It's further than the shopping.

Going from Montevideo to the east, this is the best spot to hitch hike.

HOW TO GET HERE:
In Montevideo, you go to the bus stop in the corner of Minas and Paysandú, near to the Plaza de los Bomberos. There you can take the bus 711 (wich costed 40 uruguayos on octobre 2013) until "Peaje de Remanso de Neptunia", you walk a few meters after the toll and rise your thomb!

Me and two other friends get off a car in this gas station in our trip from Budapest to Bratislava. It was dark and there wasn't many cars.
We started asking the people for a ride to Bratislava (most of the cars were heading vienna) and after begging a little bit we got it in 30 min. We were lucky how ever I wouldn't recommend this place.

If you get a lift to the train station in Amiens, you can follow the sign for Paris. After a littlle while you come to the street "Route de Paris". You follow this street, at a crossroad it changes to "Route d'Amiens" and you follow this one until you get to the first roundabout. You pass by this one and go left to the road which leads to another roundabout. There you can stand at the side, there is enough space for cars to stop and they have to slow down before the roundabout. If you are going to Paris it is perfect. I did this with a friend in this November and we got a lift after 20 minutes. I would say, this spot is good to very good! Good luck!

Two guys, obvious foreigners, with our backpacks:
This is basically the place which is in the description of Arequipa. Once you found the right bus to go to Uchumayo you have to hop off at the final stop. From the main square just go straight down to where the highway is, maybe not quite obvious from the first sight but you won't miss it. We put ourselves about a 100 metres after the toll collect, at the very end of all the little shops. It took as more than one hour until a veeeeery slow truck stopped for us. It works but you need patience.

Setting: We were two guys going to Cartagena. One guy looked Latin like, another one obvious foreigner.

Now: This is the place where the 2nd peaje (toll collect station) is where all the cars and trucks are passing. Don't try to walk there as it is mentioned in the description of Medellin, it would take you hours! Take a bus from the final metro stop Niquia to there and tell them to drop you off at this place. There is also a Esso gas station just after that. We found it general pretty hard to get a ride and we only found someone by talking to him while filling up. Hitchhiking in Colombia is not really fun I think. We didn't make very far and had to take a bus later. This is always a good option when you get stuck somewhere as they stop wherever you stand. So you need definitely time and patience.

On our way to Cartagena we had a really lucky shot here. After standing here for about an hour, seeing ourselves already stepping back to the centre of the village where buses are leaving towards north there was suddenly one of this big container trucks stopping for us. The driver assinged us to sit behind the container in the very back. One of the most amazing rides I ever had! The driver told us that in case that the police would stop us he had claimed that we would have jumped illegally on the back and he wouldn't know about us. So we feared every time when the police was standing at the verge of the road but seriously, they've seen us more than three times, a police car overtook us, military motorbikes passed by and no one was interesed in the fact that we sat there enjoying the panorama and the feeling of freedom. Thanks to the unknown driver for this great adventure!

Lucky shot and got a ride to Paris from there. People have to stop on the traffic light and if the driver doesn´t bother he´ll let you in during waiting time. Its of course not the best spot but an opportunity to try, for curtain. Also, if the driver is nice enough he could turn right at the intersection and you could hop on as well. So, its not too bad

We stood there for 2 hrs on our way to Murcia and then a couple took us to Almansa, a town an hour from this godforsaken place. Dont be tempted to go to the gas station to hitch a hike, its pointless cause everybody's  going back to Xativa, even though the workers in it are really helpful.

N309 towards A50 (Apeldoorn or Zwolle). Not such a great spot, only some soft grass where cars can stop and they tend to come in batches because of the traffic lights. Roundabout one km further might be better, but also no hard shoulder there. On-ramps on the A50 are nice (hard shoulder/slow traffic), but is a 2km walk from this point.

East To Okongo
From Eenhana you can pick up a ride at the hike point across from the open market, near the Regional Education. Office Eenhana to Okongo is N$50. Eenhana to Oshikunde N$25. 

South to Ondangwa: 
This hike point is on the south end of town past the grocerery stores and the Shell station. There is a single tree in an open area. Many people will be standing around and there will be some vehicles parked on the side of the road. NOTE: This hike point travels the gravel road--though it is cheaper is is bumpier and more prone to stopping. 

West to Onuno (Transfer to Ondangwa, Oshikongo):

This route doesn't have a designated hike point. Rather, linger around the Shell station on the north side of town. Look for a sedan--they are much more likely to take the paved route. This is a longer and more expensive ride to Ondangwa and you will switch cars at Onuno but it can ultimately be faster than stopping along the gravel. Your driver will find you a car at Onuno.

Just landed in Izmir and need a ride south? You can start HHing at the airport. Even taxi drivers may help you and take you until the Izmir-Aydin road. There you can start HHing south; however solo woman travelers should beware as there are women waiting at the side of that road (Izmir-Aydin road heading south), you can be mistaken. You can also HH if you're going to the city centre but there is a metro station at the airport, which is a cheap option.

Make sure you go exactly on the edge of the roundabout heading out of town here. We stood a little way down on the slip road and waited for over 2 hours, then another dude came and stood on the roundabout and got a lift in a few minutes!

You can get to Mamonovo by bus from Kaliningrad. But be careful!!! It is some kind of a restricted border zone so you need some official permit for entering it (you would be informed by military men who stop you in the street. And they don't care that it is the first time you here about this rubbish). Still they allow hitchhiking just before the border crossing. A lot of Poles going across the border. But it can take some hours to cross. And be carefull!!! Russians can demand money at the border crossing

Waited maybe 20 minutes, denser part of the coast, less space, take the bus to cross Lincoln City rather than walking,  costs a dollar and saves 10 miles walking or trying to hitch through the strip malls.

This entire on/off ramp is great thanks to truck stops, gas stations and fast food.  You can either ask people as they pump gas or use the on ramps.  A sign helps, especially if you're headed north on interstate 15 or east on interstate 40.

HAVE A SIGN if you're hitching long distance here.  If you're here in the summer (I pity you if you're hitching here in the winter), there are FREE SHUTTLE buses from the Denali National Park area to here (look up the "McKinley Village Lodge), so you can get out of tourist hell and back on the road southbound.  This is great because it's out of the park, and just before a steep hill climb, which makes drivers drive slower than normal.

This isn't a "hitching spot," but it is a great spot to get a free bus ride outta the park.  If you're trying to hitchhike SOUTH, ask someone that looks official how to get to the "McKinley Village Lodge."  If you're hitching NORTH, ask them how to get to "GLITTER GULTCH," or the "PRINCESS LODGE."  This will seriously cut down on waiting time, plus you can laugh at the crazy tourists.  If you found this spot useful, could you email?  I'm curious :)

Tons of cars coming and going; it's best to hitch before noon.  Having a sign is a good idea but not necessary.  DON'T GET DISCOURAGED!  Lots of people are just going 10 miles and they don't realize that even 10 miles helps.  I've used a sign that's said, "14 Miles," and it's worked wonders!

From Usti to Dresden. It's on a slip-road, not much place to stop, only if the traffic isinfrequent ( which I'm believe it usually is - so no problem). I suggest to hitchhike first somewhere on Havířská street from Usti, and if somebody who doeasn't ride to the highway takes you, let him drop you off before the bridge over the highway - and this is your spot.

Take a bus to nearby shoppingpark (Tesco and Baumax), than cross a scrubby field (it's quite difficult, but walking by this roard is dangerous, because there is not enough space and cars a driving fast there).

Easy to get ride to Prague. But you will most probably get here when your driver isn't going to Prague, so let him stop at the highway and find your way through the crossroads. Or ask him to take you there, next exit to turn back is 2 km behind.

If you want to go through Prague it might be good to stand at the beginning of the station and wawe for the traffic from Prague's ring. Trucks are forced to use the ring, so lot of trucks towards Hradec Králové/Poland go around.

To arrive there you need to walk left in the first roundabout in the airport. giv-53331 iaguaviva, after some walking you should see a small turn to the left and a small little gate that will give you access to the station.
very good place with alot of trucks and people, the best destinations will be the industrial park in barcelona as well all the east cost of spain, you can even get in to marroco or argelia from here. not so good to madrid, lleida or zaragoza. you will need to ask to go to a one other pumb station called "portas de barcelona". better to ask a very experience truck driver.

Getaway to Bulgaria and Turkey. A lot of Turkish tranzit traffic passing through. If you cross the border on foot, walk to the end of the parking lot where you see the passage of the trucks reconnect to the road. Altough the very beginning of the road is a more tempting place for hitching, it is regularly checked by Serbian police. I got an enquiry and a kind request to move back to the end of the parking. From the edge you will be able to show your sign to both sides. (to the truck drivers and cars alike) From here I got a drive to Bulgaria, though the truck's final destination was Istanbul.

The spot is located beside a petrol station, but on the road. The road is wide at this point and there is a chance for the cars to stop. I hitched here during the winter and the staff of the petrol station gave a glass of hot tea for free in order to keep me warm.

I got a ride to Erzurum from here, but also perfect towards Gümüshane. It is a bus stop with plenty of space for the vehicles to stop.

Direction Dogubeyazit, Mount Ararat, Kagizman, Kars.
Plenty of room on the side of the whole road between the town and D052. There is even a petrol station.
Just before the junction of D052 and D100 there is a police checkpoint where I was asked to stop when I passed by and the policemen invited me for tea and found me a car. They did the hitch-hiking for me in the winter.
