Noonamah service station features mostly local traffic and few long distance travellers stop here. If you are going north that should not be a problem but if you are heading down the Stuart highway you might want to consider catchiing a lift north to Coololinga and look for a lift from there as it is more likely to get a long lift there if you ask in front of Woolworths.

Good luck if you are hitchhiking into Kakadu national Park from here! You will need it. And other then entering Kakdu via Arnhem highwayfrom the west this is probably your best bet. So be patient and wait. There is a traffic sign up the road that provides shade well into the late morning hours and some trees that provide shade in the late afternoon. During midday it can get very hot so take plenty of water (I ended up taking ten litres during my hitching trp in Kakadu). Traffic can be as scarse as one car per hour even during the daytime. It's mostly tourists passing buy and most cars are loaded to the rim. If you fail to get a lift it is a 10-15 minute walk to the shop in town or the pub for a drink and a talk to the locals. If you camp out bush get well away from the road otherwise drunk aboriginal people might wake you up at night.

Solstrand. Ok spot, better then all others probably. People can stop. A bus stops parallel to the E8 on Solstrandvegen - you just need to find a clever way to get woen from there to the street.

Cars are speeding along from both directions. But you should be well visible and chances are that cars would stop. On top of that there are cars pulling out of the road house. Had a great time watching a flock of cockatoos playing on the sprinklers here.

A lot of people from Konstanz and Switzerland are taking the ferry and the route via Friedrichshafen to go to Munich. My girlfriend an I were standing there in the morning with a sign "Munich". A guy on the  first ferry after ours took us from there to the gas station "Landsberg am Lech". So we waited about 15min.

Don't take this spot if you are trying to go toward South.
All the cars are going direction west-north west.
wait there 3hrs, gave up, got to rho-fiera station and got on a train.
good spot instead if u are going north-west and within 15-20mins walk from Rho-Milano fiera train station

Hitchhiked to Slovenia. It was about 5pm and little traffic was going through. At this spot the cars from both gas-stations have to go through. We made a sign with "slovenia" and got a lift after about 20min to Bovec in the Triglav National Park.

Direction Amsterdam: After waiting over 2 hours at the official HH spot, we moved here and got a ride in 10 minutes. Before the traffic light there is a large shoulder where cars can stop, and they slow down because of the traffic light. Only downside is that I'm not sure if it's a legal place, since it might be after the sign of the highway

Going South from Syracuse is difficult. The on-ramp before this one is in a bad neighbourhood which keeps cars from stopping, the one before that has no place to stop. 
This one worked quick for me. Take the green bus "Sy 10" until the last station which is "S. Salina & E. Conklin Ave" I think and then walk one mile to the South.

Good possibility to stop for cars, but many cars just passing by. Guess it's a Dubrovnik - rich city - tourist - thing. Waited there for an hour until one guy tookus at least to the airport. Maybe it's not the best idea to write "Montenegro" on the sign, cause Croatians don't like it, as the guy told us.

Fairly good place to get out of the city towards East. The cars have space to stop, including trucks. If you stand after the traffic lights, drivers can also have more time to consider picking you up. To get there, take the bus 15 and get off in the bus stop "Pagrieziens uz dārziņiem" - it's the last one before the bus takes a turn off the road A6.

No hard shoulder, not much stopping space, probably best to walk along your chosen road for a mile.
I came here for a 20 minute journey to the West, hitching without a sign and with a beard, thinking I would ride this rural idyll in an instant, but dumbly stood, sprayed with all the usual visages of negativity -(helpless patronising derision at the very concept, blunt affronted peerings of the low-intelligent, excusing gurnings communicating: 'I'm only going down the road that you want to go down fella, so I can't help ya see? otherwise I'd love to', wily grim-toothed grins indicating that: 'You something-for-nothing boys cannae fool me again, laddie', comic thumb-response gestures and the simple fragile drift to the furthest side of the road with an unaffected glance in the opposite direction) for 75 minutes until a ride going 5 minutes west decided to take me all the way. Another life for the Master (thankyou Master).

Started hitching South around 9am on a Sunday morning, had to take cover a few times due to rain. Got a lift around 10, but probably only spent about 20 minutes legitimately hitchhiking. Held a sign for I-75S, because the road splits. There's no good place to pull off, but there's a stop light, so it works out. Also noteworthy, I was passed by several cops who didn't bother me =)

good location across the street from the store.  drivers stop to go to the store and you can approach the driver and ask to go with him.  If you are going to Ukraine, I recommend waiting for a truck with Ukrainian numbers.  and then talk with the driver to get to the border;)

If you want to ride a really long distance in a short time, the eastern highway is ideal. Many cars and trucks go as far as the Stockholm area or further. With one driver you are able to drive almost the whole of Sweden.

Noce spot, car can stop and you can go in pretty much all directions from here. Beware   Bolognesi are not big fans of hitchhikers but  somebody will eventually stop; I wanted to go to venice/padua, wrote a sign with padova/ ferrara A13 and it helped.

Stood in the roundabout side with a sign saying bologna/padova A13; frendly greek truck driver stopped exiting the service are. Maybe it was luck but got straight to bologna beware of the drop off!!! I advise standing in the roundabout close to the exit of gas station cose you get seen by everybody. You can easily access the gas station from behind, just walk around it till you see an open gate ;)

I was going south to Germany. It was already dark and thumbing did not work, trucks were going directly to the car park. As it was raining, I sneaked past the ramp, luckily there were no guards watching me. Then I was going from truck to truck asking drivers who were going to the ticket booth to pay. The most lovely Belarusian truck driver took me to Lübeck. Good spot, but can be risky if the guards see you.

Important update since 2016 - there is a camera watching you.

I was trying to go south. After an hour of waiting with a sign on a ramp, a highway traffic vehicle stopped by and told me to leave, since it is already a highway. I had to move to the traffic lights junction, where it felt very desperate. Just when I gave up and started searching for buses, a car stopped and took me across the border to Belgium.

Try this spot at your own risk.

I don't know what to think about this spot. I arrived a bit late in the day, there was very little traffic on the highway and even less here at the gas station. I had a sign saying Montpellier. Car drivers didn't seem to bother to slow down or stop and all the truck drivers I have asked were going to sleep. Except of one. So after more than 2 hours of desperate waiting this legend in a truck approached me and offered me a ride all the way to Barcelona, which was my final destination.

I was a single man with my bike, i spoke french s I was asking for rides but the station isn't super packed (sunday at 7pm, the highway was busy tho). I got lucky because I declined a ride to Arras and the driver came back to me 5min later saying he can drop me there and I remembered there is a huge toll on the highway there. If a guy drops you at exit 16 you can walk 10min to the big toll and it's a nice spot. Get yourself a huge piece of cardboard so that cars can read the sign as the toll is big

Many people going to Brussels, Amsterdam, Calais. Don't try to go at the toll further up because nobody is going to take it for Lille (as it is easy to go around). People think they won't pass by Lille but insist as they WILL for sure. You'll be drop somewhere where you can get a city bus. Not many cars at the station and I had to insist to convince people they can help me. i thought it would be easier for Lille

There are enough place for the cars to stop, you can hitchhike before the no autostop sign so its not illegal to do it here. The other entrance to the highway in Rimini is now under construction so probably its the best spot to hitchhike up to the highway for both direction.

Can be a good spot, you need to go up the ramp in front of the highway sign. Behind there is a place for cars to stop. Definitely use a sign with "Utrecht" otherwise local cars will stop. Don't stay at the corner by the traffic lights there is no place to stop. Stand there for like 50 minutes - only one local ride. After going further up the ramp got a ride after around 15 minutes. 
A lot of traffic even on Saturday afternoon.

Really nice spot even to wait for a long time. 3 people stopped, first one for the next town on the road, 2nd one to moutain village and 3rd one to Corfu and we where going to Igoumenitsa. Most Greek people don't stop, mostly tourists

Bus stop in downtown Kaznějov. I am writing this review in retrospectic, but I hitchike from here many times in my high school age. I stayd here almost only in morning, so in different time it can be different. Now I recomend more the second bus stop, which is at the end of Kaznějov behind the football pitch.

If you can find someone who goes to Croatia, go to the next gas station 8kms on the South. There is a mcdonalds there, more cars and higher chance to find someone to Ljubljana.

still possible to hitchhike there after the reconstruction work. good overview, but not so much place for stopping. we catch the car directly to prague thanks to the sign, but I can imagine that you can get a ride just to the highway and then hitchhike from there (there is lot of place under the highway bridge). it is fine that this spot is reachable by foot from the town. but if you don't mind paying for bus, maybe it can be better to start directly on the OMW petrol station on the highway

It seems a great spot to hitch to Mostar or Dubrovnik and it very likely is HOWEVER be very careful. I exited the car of my host and lit up a smoke and within 2 minutes an unmarked police car stopped me and demanded my papers, after asking for their ID they told me the only ID I needed to see was there gun before eventually showing something real. They got me to unload the entirety of my bag and found an empty weed grinder and then tried to charge me 500 euros, they then forcefully took my passport and because I wouldn't pay they took me to the station. They then lied to me for over an hour about not being allowed to contact the embassy or a lawyer and instead made jokes about how they were conning me and I'm lucky they don't send me to prison even after I had paid 450 euros for smoking a cigarette. Absolute joke. Be very careful the police force seems very corrupt as it was the chief who eventually charged me and denied me any of my rights. They are just stealing passports and holding travellers to ransom. Avoid the road if you can as many police cars come along here and all have tried to stop me since the first interaction.

Very good spot for short distance to go to Berchtesgaden, Bad reichenhall, Lofer, Zell am See or Kitzbühel.
Cheap fuel so even at nighttime a lot of cars stop and you can ask drivers

Hundreds of cars passing, yet it took over 30 min for a car to stop to finish the last 10 km of 110 km hitchhiking distance. 
Not the best, maybe because it‘s close to a school and people pay attention to the crosswalk

Extremely difficult spot, despite so many cars stopping for gas and food. Had to hitchhike 3x from here and once it was a nice truck driver who finally invited me after standing for 5h, the other times, after 3h+ it wad just someone who drove me to a better spot.

From a strategical perspective, an excellent spot. All the traffic coming from Zell am See going to Salzburg or Munich has to pass this gas station. Gas station staff is friendly and welcoming to hitchhikers.

However, keep in mind that the long-distance travellers from Zell am See are mostly wealthy people (ski tourists) reluctant to pick up a poor hitchhiker.
Local traffic won't pick you up.

Be patient though, the statistics are in your favor and this place is almost a safe bet. You can also approach drivers at the gas pumps and just ask.

80% of the cars are locals who are not going onto the highway.

I highly recommend using the BP gas station just 200m away instead for hitchhiking where people slow down and where you can ask people in person.

Going towards Pico do Arieiro. It was late in the afternoon, heavy fogging, very minimal traffic, maybe 40-50 cars in 15 minutes. The spot itself is in the corner next to the STOP sign so can hitchhike both roads and people have to slow down anyways (one road for STOP sign, the other for hairpin corner). I rate it 3 stars as the spot for cars to stop isn't the best. Thankfully traffic is very minimal so that's not really a danger. First couple who stopped also went to Pico do Arieiro so it was an easy hitchhike to the top.

Ranst is a huge gas station, if you're patient there's a good chance of getting a ride really far. However, I am not patient, but I've made it where I wanted to each time I've been here. Sign is probably useful.

Possible to take a bus from Antwerpen and walk from the nearby village (Ranst) to get here. No fence that needs to be climbed egen.

Bus stop - sign probably necessary. Possibility for the cars to stop without problems. I got a ride out to the first service station heading north fairly quick in January 2023. The motorway ahead goes both way so probably possible to get south as well.

Feb 23. There's a fence around the gas station if you're walking from Kortrijk.(!!) It's really tall and probably very difficult to climb. I wasn't prepared and nearly cried. It was possible to walk under the motorway bridge and into the station via a little forest/collection of trees, however. I was there in the evening and it was dark. It's even a little path.

Walkable from the nearby S-Bahn Station for fellow hitchhikers that prefer to start at a highway service station. 

Got a ride to the station before Aachen (first car I asked) right away, and easily made it to Ghent (my final destination) in Jan 23.

10 minutes with a "Praha" sign and a very kind lady took me to Teplice (one of the first cities in Czech Rep.)

It's a nice spot overall. Nice place to stay, easy to get there (it's 2023, just google map it beforehand), cars can stop very easy in the cobblestone area, etc.

My hike from Dresden took me here since we found a terrible traffic in the motorway.

I had a "Praga" sign and it took me around 7 min to get a hike straight to the Prague subway.
There is not much traffic there, but I can say that at least 90% of them are going to Prague. Nice car stop spot too!

Locals and tourists use this way to get to the coastal cities, in particular to Paralia. There is a speed limit and the road itself has a lot of small car parking lots for drivers to stop at. It is much better stop than any in the Katerini city and don’t even think of catching a ride from a train station because there are so many directions you can get from there.

Bus stop right before a stoplight. Tons of cars coming from Keukenhof Gardens. Can talk to drivers stopped in long lines from traffic light. Everyone I talked to was going opposite direction from Amsterdam even though all traffic to Amsterdam must pass that spot. Only one person actually pulled over and stopped for us, but she was going a different route.
After over an hour we looked at bus options. An unmarked bus stopped and said he was going to Amsterdam and that the bus was free, so we were lucky, but other people on the bus said they’d had to pay for it.

I was 30 min walking from this bus stop, once the van arrived I asked in Polish how much for a ride to Opatkowice and he probably said something like "nah I got you" because I didn't paid nothing. Maybe if you try to ask in the local language you can get one too ;)

Pretty sure this spot is illegal since it's already on the main road and it's a bus stop, but with a "Rabka" sign I got a ride to Myślenice in less than 5 min. 
If you stay there for a long time, just be careful

It's a dangerous place (cars are really fast and buses are coming to the bus stop), so you have to be careful. Visibility is not good - you have to stand very close to the road, on the edge of bus stop. One person stood before the bridge (pedestrian passage) and the other on the bus stop, after one hour somebody took us only to Pszczyna. Pros: there is a place for a car to stop.

If you want to go south (for example Bulgaria, Romania) it is better to stand with two signs with different directions (Brno, Zylina). In the evening (Saturday) there is not a lot of traffic. Drivers often stop there to buy highway ticket so you can always ask for a drive.

On-ramp that works okay enough, was little traffic at 10 am on a Wednesday, which probably was a benefit. There is a breakdown lane where the cars can stop, and it's decent enough for being an onramp.  Got a car to Königsforst Raststätte after fifteen minutes. 

Definitely better than having to climb the pointy fence at the gas station.

Quite a lot of traffic Wednesday around 10:15 in the morning. Got a ride to the gas station at the A3 before Frankfurt after around 20 minutes.

Went hiking through the woods (which is apparently a minefield, but got marked paths, signs saying you shouldn't stray off the paths. The fence around the gas station is around 2m, probably not too difficult to climb, but is pointy on the top, and it looks fairly difficult to climb over and look casual.

There's is a loose down corner on the fence right before the station, so if one happen to be a very small dog or a cat that could also work. I think the best place to climb over is on the side  before the station, it's a bit more hidden and clearly a lot of people have climbed over there before.

This is a good spot for hitchhiking towards Copenhagen, but not a good spot if you are going from Copenhagen. If you are be sure to get a ride from the ferry to the city - otherwise its an hour walk and not good for hitchhiking. to hitch towards Copenhagen, be sure to be there 45 min. before depature, and you are almost garanteed a ride.

Okay enough, highway service stations are always quite a good place. I was heading into Nürnberg, but I arrived in the middle of rush hour and the motorway was a standstill traffic jam. Had a break and then found a car going to München. I unfortunately don't speak much German and the driver asked if I had a boyfriend and wasn't too happy when I said yes, and let me off at the next Rasthof. Found a car taking me into Nürnberg there almost immediately though. 

But a lot of cars heading really far was passing, seems like most were going south.

It is possible to walk to the station, about 35 minutes from Feucht Ost S-Bahn Station.

Motorway service station, not possible to walk to/from.

Not too trafficed on a Sunday morning in January 2023. Extremely nice staff at the café  gave me a coffee for free and said I could just go inside if I needed to warm up.

Unfortunately Netflix launched a documentary about a hitchhiker and axmurderer right before I went on a hitchhiking trip, so a lot of people in England said they were to scared to pick me up.

Two middle-aged women wasn't going my direction but bought me a sandwich. 

Eventually some guys from Romania going to Leeds picked me up and dropped me off at the station outside Newark-On-Trent. 

Unfortunately neither of us was completely familiar with the left driving and I was headed towards Lincoln, so I ended up in an inconvenient spot and ended up finding a car into Newark-On-Trent from there, but that was mainly my fault.

Direction Hamburg/wherever that's not Denmark:
Try to get a ride before you enter the ferry from Rødby. It's a rush of cars each time the ferry arrives, but absolutely no opportunity for them to stop except the last cars,unless it's a nearly empty ferry. 

We just gave up, got a ride from the camping place to Oldenburg in Holstein the next morning but that was just sheer luck. 

It was also 3 other hitchhikers stuck with us. At least the weather was nice.

Puttgarden also don't have a grocery store, but the ferry terminal got a soup vending machine, so I strongly recommended bringing your own packed lunch if you plan on getting stuck here.

The spot to go to Galați, Brăila, the Danube Delta or Constanța. For Galați use a sign with the name of the city, for the other destinations just use a sign that says ”Brăila”, as the road towards these two cities splits at some point.

I use this spot a lot with mixed results. If it's to busy people don't stop because the entry isn't very wide. In this case don't be to picky and take the first ride you get to Isselburg (10km further). This entry is much wider, but with less trafic.

Stood at station and used sign; nobody speaks English.
To get here we took bus 133 from Wroclaw center. Dropped us off at a big shopping mall and we had to walk about 15 minutes. We had to cross a field and it looked like there was no way to get there walking, but there were big holes in the fences and a well-worn path leading right to the Orlan gas station.
Free bathrooms. Lots of cars, both from the gas station and from the onramp.

I was hitchhiking to Central London with a sign "London A40" people stop there at the traffic lights so they have enough time to see you. All traffic goes in the direction of Central London. So pretty good, 4/5 because for hitchhiker it's not the top spot but there is no better at this place. It's safe when you stay on the island on the road.

Almost perfect hitchhiking spot. On a Wednesday noon, it was a bit empty but quickly I found a ride to Vienna!

I suggest to stop or ask at the gas station rather than the restsurant, because it's rather wealthy people who go eat there and families.

It's easy for both directions to hh

There is a park and ride, just past the end of the on ramp. If you're hitching in the winter don't accept a ride to the ski hill unless you're going up there. In the past, I did and I spent the night in the middle of nowhere.

They are upgrading the highway in this area. Hitching west out of Salmon Arm is next to impossible at this point. After I gave up, I notced that there is a city bus that takes you to the top of the hill and it looks like there is a hitchable spot up there, but I haven't tried it.

Hitching east out of Creston sucks. 99% of the traffic you'll see is local. This spot isn't great but it's kind of your best option.
There is a set of lights to slow traffic down, and a parking lot for cars to pull off the road. Local traffic usually turns off at this intersection.

Not so many cars, but pretty much everyone is going in the direction you want to go, so sooner or later someone will take you. We stood at the very end, where all the little roads joined the onramp. Two cars in one day asked for payment, like blablacar. After about 20 min a Polish man who didnt speak English picked us up to Konin.

Previous ride dropped us here from Warsaw; dont know how you would get here from Konin town as there is a big fence separating highway from the small road.
Cars dont have to stop because it’s an e-toll and there arent that many cars, but still someone going to Poznan picked us up in less than 10 minutes.

Good spot to hitchhike to Predjama Castle. Recommend walking past the caves so you won't get cars going there. Took a bus to Postojna from Ljubljana, they go pretty often.
 
Enough space for cars to stop on the bike lane. A lot of people don't go to the castle though but instead continue forward at the cafe Prepih, where it's a 4km walk to the castle or you could try getting another ride.

I didn't hitchhike from here, but it's a bus stop, and seems decent for getting a ride if you need to get off before the bridge and continue south.

We did not manage to find a spot where people actually go on the highway, so decided to hitchhike on the smaller road. BIG mistake...
We progressed about 5 km each hour. Literally from one village to the next.
I recommend to walk to any petrol station, and hitchhike from there.

The beginning of the ring road (which actually goes through town) is a terrible place to wave. Ask the driver to leave you in the town centre, which saves you 3/4 of a very long walk to the opposite end of the city.

We gave up after waiting for three hours, and were actually picked up while walking up the mountain road.
Locals don't stop because they assume you are for the border, and Bulgarians assume it's a local thing. Mornings there is huge amount of traffic to a mine (рудник) so put up a sign "5km" or something of the sort. From where the road of the mine goes off the main road it is just a few bends of the road to the top where the border is (and you can find path that cut those bends).

But generally if you coming from inside Macedonia towards Bulgaria, much better option is to use the spot at the Kumanovo toll station (patarina) and ask directly cars with BG numbers. They seem to be less willing to stop on foreign territory.

The best place for going to Bulgaria along a route which is not too frequented. I stayed at the barrier and simply asked drivers with Bulgarian numbers (not big letters BG, which is Belgrade) while they were paying their tickets. Toll workers don't pay attention, but be respectful of course. This way got direct drives to Sofia even in the evening!

Great place to ask people directly but thumbing at the exit with a sign saying "NORTH" also worked for me. Got a ride to Sillekrog at 9pm despite the low traffic. If you're not stopping at Stockholm, I think it might be better taking rides to Sillekrog and trying to continue past Stockholm from there rather than go in to the city itself and try from there. Not sure though.

Snusgrossen probably the most popular store but also King of Snus or even Ikea & Candy World should work.

Great spot, but hard to reach! The spot itself is super efficient to hitch hike north on road 151 (to Mendoza, and before to San Rafael). If you stay on road 51 it is really easy to go far, huge traffic and lot of trucks and lot of space for car to stops :)
To reach it : in 2023 take the colectivos línea 2 from Centro of Neuquén, and take one that goes to Centenario (not all buses of línea 2 are going there). Ask the driver to leave you at a stop where you can take another bus that will take you to Vista Alegre Norte. Then it is one of the last stops, and 20mns of walk. Count 1h30 at least.

The spot is just after a turn so be careful of the cars that can arrive fast in the corner. Maybe not the best hitchpoint on that road that offers plenty of other spots not far (gas sation and other bus stop) but for sure you will have cars that stop.

It looks like a great spot to find someone to Salzburg but it took me more than 3 hours to find someone who was going there. Most of the people I asked were going to Munich, not a lot of Austrian stop there, and we've been controled by the police after I was in the car cause it's next to the border. I think the oil is cheaper in Austria so you have probably more people who stop before crossing the border.

Hitching north out of DFW on US-75 is tough. This spot really isn't the greatest, but I got picked up surprisingly fast.

The issue is that there really isn't a good spot for vehicles to pull off. And well also, there is no transit in the area so it's a long walk to get to this spot.

The Costco near Parker rd. would probably be a better option. It's a substantialy shorter walk, and The truck entrance seems like it would offer a good place for vehicles to pull off.

I'm a swiss girl and I tried on a monday morning all spots around to roundabout. At the end I waited around 3 hours. Finally I had luck and a mother with her 20 years old child took me. I never waited so long before and I think it's because the roundabout is very stressfull and there is not a good place to stop. There was one guy who tried it too and it was the same.

Good place to hitchhike towards the north(west). Even before the driver who picked us up, multiple others also stopped but went in other directions. It's not on the actual highway so it's not a dangerous place nor (I think) likely to cause problems with police.

First stood at the Gasstation but missed many people going to the restaurant or Parking. Asked Truck drivers but most ejected me Immediately. In the end I went to the restaurant and just asked people there to take me. On a Friday Many Busses stop here so a bus driver took me he had to check with the shool class if they where fine taking me and they where. Even got offered a ride by somebody else from a Bus at the same time but smaller distance.

I tried hitching to the ruins of Segesta here. Waited for over a literal hour. A lot of cars, often with 3 empty seats, pass by - either as local traffic, or ignoring you, or looking at you as if the concept of hitchhiking is completely alien and anthropologically fascinating to them, something they never saw a mortal do before. I finally got picked up, but only taken to an intersection even more in the middle of nowhere.

Terrible place. Only 1 car every 5-10 minutes, and even though they can see you from far, they are somehow incapable to grasp it might be useful to pick you up as you are stuck in the middle of nowhere. They do honk at you. It's also a dangerous place to stand and the shadowy spots are pretty sparse. I finally got picked up and dropped off at another junction about 30min by foot from the Segesta site. All in all, it took me between 4 and 5 hours to get from Castellamare to the ruins of Segesta (a 20min drive). Don't be stupid like me and just take the Tarantola bus.

The A49 (eastbound) was closed so there was a fair amount of traffic heading for the A7. The spot is quite poor though. It’s in a right-hand bend, the entire street has stopping restrictions (not that anyone cares), and there are trees (i. e. it’s dark and thus difficult to see you).

Three-lane road and those on the left are having quite hard time seeing you. And the speed is high.

After bad previous experience we ( boy and girl) gave up after an hour and took a train instead. Wanted to go to Syracuse. The only car that stopped for us was a young man, who wanted us to pay 120 euros for the trip and didn't understand the concept of hitchhiking.

 Better to be there at 7h30, for the drivers check-in. I also tried to go talking with the drivers in the huge parking but it pretty difficult to find drivers who was going to leave soon (most of them didn't know when they would get their custom permission).

BAD plan to get there to cross. I almost did it with the truck on the side. But i dont think any car will stop in front of the ferry gate, there are focus on something else, and probably thinking about extra fee. If you want to cross here, the best Wat is probably to find a car more in the inerland. Like a gasstation in Lübeck would be perfect, there you can target danish plate until you find one that cross on the ferry. 
Otherwise it's 20 euros to cross as a pedestrian

This isn't the perfect spot, but if you're stuck out here in Melissa, then it's probably your best bet. I find that the type of person that stops at Buccie's, isn't the type of person that stops for hitchhikers. 

That said, people that live in Melissa are even less likely to stop for you. I got picked up by a California transplant, that does a lot of backpacking. He was a really cool guy. He was on his way out to Texoma lake to test out some new gear.

Perfect place for the south up to Marseille.
i use often this spot to go directly to Marseille. When going to Marseille I use a different method than usual : I writte a sign with Marseille and go only with drivers going up to there. From my experience a lot of cars are directly going to Marseille and finding one might take a little longer than taking the first car but ensure you to go directly there and not to get stuck on a random highway intersection on the way. It works always good for me like that
good luck

Arrived here with one friend at 8pm trying to get a ride to Zaragoza. There are a lot of truck drivers but almost all of them stay here for a while to sleep and visit the local strip club. This gas station shuts at 10pm so barely any traffic after that hour. Eventually had to spend a night sleeping in an abandoned house behind the station because the hostel was booked out. Luckily, next morning got a ride from a truck driver almost directly into Zaragoza. There are also people going to Barcelona and Madrid from here. You need to be friendly, pro-active and ask around. Otherwise you can be stuck here for a while.

Good place to catch a long distance ride with cars heading all the way to Madrid or Pamplona. There is quite a bit of truck traffic too. This area also has a very decent and cheap buffet (€8/person as of July 2023), so a lot of people driving from Barcelona stop here. This is a local spot and there aren’t many foreigners, so knowing Spanish or Catalan is important. The best strategy is to talk to people at the gas station but standing with a sign on a ramp leading to the highway works too.

We decided to try here after trying the parking lot spot with little luck for a while. The idea was to be visible to all vehicles, even those not planning on stopping at the station, since the traffic was low. It worked; a couple saw us, felt bad, and actually entered the petrol station through the exit!! And we got really lucky and got a ride all the way to Innsbruck!

The spot was ok. A little scary to be out near the lanes like this, and some people gave us dirty looks, but all in all pretty good. If traffic is higher, this spot might feel less safe, and the parking lot spot is probably preferable.

We used a pretty big sign with "AU" on it. Since cars not planning to stop go pretty fast, using few, big letters is probably advisable, so they can read it from afar.

Ask for a bus to Ikea to reach close to here (bus stop: Stångjärnsgatan). Felt like the cars are too fast but in the other hand the curb on the side is wide and we got a ride in 15 minutes. We were on the verge of moving to the beginning of the previous roundabout where I think I saw a busstop. Will happily leave an analysis of that spot for another time. :)

After 2h30 a albanese took me to the border, but there is not a lot of car, and few of it cross the border (at least, a saturday evening). Some young albanian told me that i will never get a ride cause greeks dont take hitchhikers.

Just after the border you have plenty of space to hitchhike, and border officers dont care. But not many cars, and the main difficulty is to make a greek car stop for a hitchhiker. I tried without cardboard and after that with a cardboard for Thessaloniki (Selaniku in Albanian, and Θεσσαλονίκη in greek (good luck to write it, plan enough space). Finally after 3hours an Albanian took me. (an other car stopped before and was going in Athens but that was not my goal)

The way to this big petrol station in direction Santander: Go to the bus stop Los heros, from there cross the bridge, turn right and walk aprox 300m until you reach the high waltage mast on your right side (it's visible on the map). Turn right to it thru the grass, on your left is a fence - if you follow the fence - there is trodden path through the bushes - you will reach the petrol station over the exit to the highway easily in 3 minutes (with a bit of scratch legs - but we are not sissies right:D). This is the fastest way. Then took me 30min to catch a car but its about luck. It's most convenient spot to hh out of Bilbao.

Spent about half an hour here, a bit before the bus stop before someone stopped and took us to Bregenz. We had cardboard from before, but as they said on the stop opposite, you can probably get it from the gas station if open. There is also a (as of july 2023) unlocked dumpster in the back of it, so you could probably find there as well.

We somehow ended up here after catching a ride from Dresden. There's a lot of local drivers, but also plenty of drivers turning on to the motorway towards Prague. I wouldn't go out of my way to end up here, but if you do then it shouldn't be too hard to catch a ride. We ended up with a ride to Brno after about 15 minutes, which I would assume to be a little faster than average at this spot.

I've waited here quite a few times. The "Blaffestoppested" (Hitchiking stop) is a new initiative but don't know many people who've actually hitched from here with success. I got a lift to Ringsted once after 80 minutes roughly (was going to Germany so not an ideal ride)
Usually I give up and go to the gas station, Danes in the city seem to be too polite to refuse a friendly request but also unaccustomed to pulling over for hitchikers.

We thought this roundabout exit would be perfect for all traffic, but there was no place to stop. I believe the part coming from Lomza could be good for stopping cars, but might as well do it closer to Lomza where you are less in the middle of nowhere (if you get the choice from your previous driver) our drivers continue to Szczuczyn, so we'll take the guess and follow them there to see if we can get to Elk

Stood on the opposite side of petrol station entry as the point shows. Lots of cars going both north and south, so you get a lot of smiles, shrugs, and pointing in opposite direction, but shade and close to petrol station so hitchability is good. Got a ride in the wrong direction (people walked up to us from behind, not having read the sign) after about 15 minutes, and then one in the right direction 15 minutes later. This was mid july, during high tourist season, so waiting times are probably longer when the city isn't swamped with campers.

There's no place for the cars to stop without hindering traffic. Walk a hundred meters or so up the road to get access to the same cars, but with a pocket they can stop in.

Not a great spot for me. I started before the toll booth trying to get a ride to Berlin or Leipzig, and a service guy came out and escorted to the parking lot after the toll booth. This was very quiet, with only a few trucks around. Pretty frustrating, but I finally got a ride to a station near the border.

Waited 25min on a Thursday morning at 9AM. There is only one lane - stopping requires putting the car on the lawn, there is very little space. It's very understandable drivers are hesitant. It's not the safest spot. Mostly drivers are reasonably slow. My sign just said "A14"

My rating is for Prague - Wanted to go to Prague - was surprised by how little traffic there was at 11AM on a thursday. There were maybe 12 cars, maybe a new one every 5min. Became a bit quicker later. I tried for 90 minutes and then called a BlaBlacar. 
I could have gone with a czech trucker, but I was worried about the language barrier, and was not desperate enough yet. If I did it again, I'd go for truckers immediately and try to get to the rest stop Varvazov behind the czech border. 
More traffic to poland - but so often fully filled cars with either families or lots of stuff.

Gave it a try for 30min on a Thursday morning from 8 to 8:30 with a sign saying " A14 R. Dresd"  First I tried behind the crossing. I don't think it's such a good spot. Two columns come from the traffic light, only the ones on the right can really stop on the right side, left column is "stuck": there are cars to the right and behind. Not a relaxing position to pull over. I'd say about 40% non-local car plates. Visibility is there, but only for the first two rows of the cars waiting. Then I tried the bus stop. Green phases are mostly long enough to make eye contact with all the drivers - and enough time to make it in if you hurry. I got an offer to the highway by a man who'd then go straight ahead. Overall I didn't get a good feeling so I went to the highway onramp - took 23min for a ride from there.

On a Monday at 1200 I wanted to go north on A7 and waited 1h22 for a ride.There's hardly anyone going north, everybody is going to NRW or The Netherlands or Belgium. 
If it looks bad, you can also accept offers going south on A7 - and go 30min/50km to the next Serways, 'Ohrenbach West' and walk 2km from the west side of the serways to the east side, 'Ohrenbach Ost'. That would increase your travelling time by 1h20min.
I recommend being aggressive from the very beginning and having a backup option. With a little less luck this might have taken much longer.
If there is a smart way that utilises drivers continuing on A3 but eventually gets you north, that would be great. 
Or,  when coming from the southwest and wanting to go to Hanover/Hamburg, maybe consider the route via Leipzig and Magdeburg

After 10 minutes i got a ride offered to Brno (which i didnt take in the end), after another 20 mins I got a direct lift to Budapest!

Still a great spot to catch ride to Hungary, but remember, that around 2020 they opened new highway few km north. 
So over here there is less traffic, but still good.

It felt like a decent spot, even if it’s in the city centre. There’s a little used bus stop and a parking area in front of the sports centre for cars to pull to the side. Lots of traffic, but most of it is local. I got no luck (was trying to get to Santiago with a sign). In the end I decided to move and got a lift much faster from my second spot.

The roundabouts leading to the autovia and the nacionale feel a bit sketchy so I decided to come by this secondary roundabout. Cars pass very slowly and quite a few get on the motorway. There’s space to pull to the side. Someone stopped after 10min for me (was probably lucky) and took me for about 15min on the nacionale to the edge of Ourense but I didn’t have any luck at that second spot.

Got there from the city centre of Firenze. Took the Regionale 18664 and got off at Pratignone. Didn't buy a ticket although it's not much, 3-4 euros. Then it's a 20min walk from the train stop to the gas station. Italians are really sceptical and most don't speak english as it is the case in most of Italy. Fortunately we got a ride from a Czech family to Brno. Hitching back to Estonia.

I got dropped off here on my way to Poland. It was definitely not my preferred spot to hitchhike but after making a big sign and standing a few meters infront of the busstop a car took me straight to Poland. The cars do drive very fast there because its downhill, but there is a traffic light which sometimes slows them down.

Its a little bit difficult to reach this place, I take the metro B and in "Ramonville" I start walking in this direction. I saw one spot first, in the roundabout, but didnt like it, so i continue walking next to the road (its seems "dangerous" but is not). When ir reach the Peage, I ask there and they told me to wait on the right. I was with a sign to "Andorra" but if you go to Andorra you can try to use a sign to "foix" (The girls who catch me up didnt know where it was Andorra, they just stop and ask me). I wait for 45 minutes, lot of cars going, the peage make them stop a little bit. Good luck!

THREE SOLUTIONS:
1. Go at the entrance  of the highway and do classic hitchike
2 wait at the gasstation and ask everyone for lift. But there is not a lot of people.
3 go to the bus stop on the E4.  Nice long area for cars to stop but they ride very fast.
--> my solution: wait for a cars at the entrance 
of the highway. If a car leave the E4 from the opposite direction to go straight to the gasstation walk to them while they filling their cars, then ask for a ride, you have good chance that ther will go back on the E4 on your direction.

One guy from Switzerland saved us after 6 hours, he took us out of this Saami shithole back to Finland. However some people were offering us to ride with them to the north (Nordkapp) or Alta.

- One of the worst experience. At least stuff members on the gas station were nice and helpful. More than half of the cars were German Caravans or Norwegian in Teslas riding alone and no one stops, even during heavy rain, the evening in 8°C and same in the morning.

However we didn't wait too long and one car wanted to stop but continues to drive and then came back for us in 10 minutes.

Trying to go to Kiruna. First plan was going North on this crossroad. But not enough people (almost no one). So the easier was hitchiking all cars going North or east (back to E4).
A Guy from Luleo stop quick :)
--> then hé drop me in a gasstation a bit back south... Wish was a better plan than trying to hitchike in Ranea. No gas station... People does not stop there.

Kind of place where you can be a bit demanding on the destination. After 20 min i refuse 3 cars for overkalix and morjarv . After 30... Finally someone that was going to Kiruna ! I couldn't hope for more. You can also durectly ask at the gasstation but and find a car event faster, but for long distance like this i prefer someone that's really choose to take me.

Try not to get dropped here, there's nowhere to stand on the road, so you'd have to wait at the gas station and ask everyone that pulls in, also i walked about an hour north on a local road to find somewhere to pitch a tent, only giving it two stars because there's a coop here aswell.

Rest stop off the e6, toilets and shelter, also a bus stop in case you get very unlucky. I got lucky and the first people I asked gave me a ride to bognes ferry terminal. Not really anywhere to stand on E6 so only hope is to ask people who pull in.

Great spot if you want to get to Venice or in direction of Slovakia/Austria. Likewise for Milan, Trident. 
Incredibly bad spot if you want to get to Bologna and further - we had to spend the night. In terms of sleeping: I recommend going through a gate and turning left, there’s some bush - we set up a tent and spent a night there without any problem, and we used the toilet at the gas station during the morning. Station’s staff was nice and they didn’t cause any problem.

But if you’re going to Bologna etc, I recommend catching any hike in direction of Milano / Padua and getting into the next autogrill (gas station) between Venice and Padua - Ristop |Arino Ovest. Amazing spot to catch a long ride and it’s not that far!

It’s probably a great place if you're being left there by a car, at the gas station.
If you’re trying to get to it from outside, it is  NOT a safe place. Drivers are pretty much crazy here and the visibility is limited. The places mentioned before were repaired, probably, cause we decided that it’s too dangerous to try climbing that little wall on the left.

Quite good spot just before the tunnel leading to E40 towards Liège. Right side of the road was full of parked cars which made pulling over a bit more challenging. There's a traffic light just before and good visibility so drivers can see you from a far and can consider longer if light is red. Had a sign saying 'Liège' and got a ride from a business man heading back home on a Friday afternoon.

Big wide bus stop right in front of hospital, great for cars to pull over. Two cars stopped in the first 10 minutes, but were only going a few hundred meters, so may be a good place to get out of the city at least. A few cars slowed down to stare at us, then sped back up again. After almost an hour someone took us to our destination 20 min down the road.

After 3 hours of waiting one car finaly stopped and took me all the way to Bjerkvik. Good spot overwise, plenty of space to stop. Near the Museum its a bit confusing because there is a turn to a museum and then the bus stop is made so a bus can turn around, so its quite tricky stopping there.

The ferry is free for walking passagers. 
You can also ask the drivers, there are many tourists returning to Europe from here, so you can catch some long rides. Payment is per car as of now (i think something like 600 NOK per car) doesnt matter how many passagers.

As most of the people go North.

I sir in front of the gasstation on the rocky pillars. There you can see the car comming from the right and then comming to you for gas. If there have place, i Ask for a ride, and i was sure there where going south, because thé one going North arrive in the gasstation straight and not by thé right).

If you go to Trondheim, try to get a ride at least past Elverum, since there are no good spots before. 
There is much less traffic in winter. 
I waited 1min in July 2021, 27min in july 2023, 102 minutes in December 2022.

11AM-1250PM on a Friday in August 2023. Tried to get to the ferry on Fehmarn. 
 
More Danes and Swedes than I could talk to. even two Norwegians. But 50-80% have either children in the back or are literally full with baggage. It seems so great with so many Scandinavians, but the baggage situation reduces the relevant options dramatically. 
Dutchies also present. Some traffic to Schwerin. Germans always say they're about to switch highways or get off at the next option, local traffic. Sooo many cars with bicycles and camping trailers. The frequency of cars arriving was very high. Obvs a good rest stop. 

I got a ride with a family going to Burg on Fehmarn after 110 minutes, from there there's a bus to the ferry, either X85 or 591. 

Hard to say whether to recommend this spot for the Fehmarn ferry. Had mixed results as a German asking Danish, some insisted theyd've taken me if the car wasn't full, others were not open at all. 

For strategy, keep in mind that people continuing on A1 can drop you off 10min from Lübeck train station. As of July 2023, there is a bus (X85) hourly from Lübeck to Puttgarden. so car rides to train stations in between are acceptable maybe, like Haffkrug, Großenbrode, Oldenburg, Fehmarn Burg.

I was here in August on a Friday at about 4PM. 10min for a ride to Glumslov rest stop north of Helsingborg. Austrian guy was visiting his girlfriend in Båsten. 
I think standing after the gas station is maybe better. I tried standing before, and it's mildly dangerous. Also, if a car goes to the gas station, you can't tell whether it's for you. Walking there and asking means you loose some cars.  The cars come out over the space of 5-10min, a constant stream. After the gas station, halting is not perfectly easy but doable.

 Arrived here in early August, on a Friday 20.00. tried for two hours then. No luck, low but reliable frequency. Mostly Swedes, and danish plus Germans. Went camping and tried in the morning. I hiked 2km away because of the highway noise, on the east side. Asking a farmer for a bed or barn crossed my mind. Crossing west is possible, there's an underpass if you go a little north.

Glumslöv 9AM Saturday.
30min for offer to Snapparp. in the meantime I got 2x Stockholm and 1 offer to Helsingborg. I talked to people at the gas station, but carried a sign saying "Norr på E6". Toilets are free and accessible until midnight I was told.

Tried for 12min on a saturday evening, 1930 in August. For direction south the waiting time is probably 2min. I was trying to go north. The frequency was 24 cars in 10minutes. I thought this spot would make more sense, since more parking lots feed into it than the one slightly more north on Tårnvegen at the onramp. I was there too and the frequency was noticeably less. 
It would be interesting if someone tried to get a ride north from here. A friend says from Espa (50km further north) you get rides to Trondheim. Maybe already also from here. 
The spot is decent, since cars just took a turn, they go slow and stopping is possible at the little path just behind the spot. Not good that you cannot talk to people. 
I wish I had tried more - i quit and took a ride to Skedsmokorset to try going north from there. Should have considered the Jessheim McDonalds maybe, that is closer.

Only one parking lot feeds into here as far as I can tell. That's fine if you wanna go to Oslo, since many cars go there. For going north this may be a problem. There is a speed bump, so cars have to go slower. And it is below a bridge, so you're safe from the rain. 
I tried for 10min on a saturday evening in August, 1900. The norwegian public holidays ended this weekend.

I only tried this spot for ten minutes because it was raining and people were hectic. Getting a ride to Oslo should be a guarantee, so many people go there.
Going north - not sure. I'm not sure how people behave that have parked their car here long-term and go home north. That's why I went to Roald Amundsens veg a bit south, where many people theoretically ought to come by when leaving the parking lot to go on E6. 
Not sure if people being picked up from friends/family that go north would get in here.

There are a lot of cars passing by.  A few stopped. The majority went to Zadar / Zagreb. 2 asked for money (10 and 20€).  In the 33rd minute, it was the good one :)
.... For free of course ;)

We waited for 60 mins (8 p.m., Thursday) and we got a lift directly to Poland. We were in a group of 2 and a lot or cars were either full or going to Brno. One guy stopped after 20 mins of waiting and offered a ride to Rousinov but we didn’t take it. Luckily, we got a better ride 40 mins later.

We waited here for 2 hours (2 other groups of hitchhikers waited for similar time) and didn’t get a ride so we changed the spot to one closer roundabout, definitely better.
A lot better of cars going to Poland and Czech Republic, but drivers not always so eager to take hitchhikers.

We waited for one hour here and few Polish people approached us but they were either full or going South, not in the direction of Poland. We got a lift to Brno in one hour, but I think, if you are lucky, you can get a ride a lot of quicker to Czech Republic or Poland.

If you’re going to Balaton, do not stop here. It’s an awful spot in this direction. We waited for more than three hours and we didn’t get a ride. Luckily a car carrier trailer stopped and the driver gave us a lift to a better stop in direction of Balaton (5 mins by car further South). Almost everyone stopping at this petrol station is going to Budapest, so this direction is probably better.

This is the place where they form the train towards to Nouadhibou. We came here around 12pm. Some people are gathering around passenger wagon. If you want to ride on the top of iron ore watching all the desert landscapes just move further and find a car that suits you. Train moved to Fedrick in 1,5h or so and also stopped there for around 30min, so we could change the car closer to the train head. The time might be different, so it's better to get here earlier. Make sure you bring warm clothes and something to cover yourself during the night since it might be cold, also take something to protect your eyes (we had a goggles), enough water and some snacks. The whole ride takes around 20h.

This is the beginning of the city. There is a lamp. Many motorists show that they only come to the city. I used it many times when I didn't feel like walking to the other end of town. Towards BUDAPEST,EGER, M3.

The guy who picked us with his old alfa romeo told us, that it's one of the worst stops we could choose to hitchhike cause it's almost in the city centre....but he took us to Moll petrol station near Żary. I rate this pickup spot 3 stars out of 5.

It isn't the best spot- people weren't so happy to see us asking for a ride - but it's a MOP near main road that can take you near Ostrava, then to Olomouc and than to Brno. We met a cute, polish couple who took us because their destination was Czech Republic. There are clean toalets for free and a huge parking.

Very bad place, There is no bus stop anymore because of a new connection line to high way from Kaunas, so There are 3 lines and cars go pretty Fast. We moved 150 meteres away from this place in direct from Kaunas. There are barriers and a side line, which is free and good to stop for cars. We Made it with a guy right to Vilnius and He even took us around Trakai. But it was a big luck.

Getting here from the ferry is a hassle. Most people are local or driving north, I got a ride to Rostock central after half an hour by asking people at the gas station. If you want to hitchhike by sign/thumb its also possible, but you're probably better off just asking here, as there isn't that much traffic, and pulling over can be stressful here imo.

This (the bus stop in Muijala) is not a bad spot, but the traffic is low in the evening so after going Down the highway, we gave up and went to the bus station Back. From here it goes at least every Hour like 16.30,17.30,.. For like 19 e/person. Maybe it is more frequented in the morning.
Maybe i suggest staying here a little longer and wait for the one who goes to Turku directly. Don't Give up, it is like 1 out of 50 cars will stop.

Really hard place to get to by foot, but nice place to find a car going north, when you are there

You need to climb a couple fences to get here. When you arrive at Settebagni(possible to blackride bus from Rome), go north-east to the tip of the town, and cross through some allotments, to get to the little road leading to a bridge over the highway. On the other sode of the bridge there is a gate, but the fence is ripped open on the right. Go through there and turn right on to the field, and cross it, over to the fence alongside the road. Climb that and follow the highway for a hundred meters, and you’re there!
We wanted to go to Firenze, but i guy picked us up towards Terni, where we thought we could get a ride to Firenze, but found the truckstop there to be awful. If you’re going to Firenze or further north, wait for a car going there instead of a car going half the way!!

I got a ride very quickly, there isnt too much space for the cars to pull over unfortunately, and its also technically illegal for cars to stop here, but it works fine if its not too busy. All in all I really like this spot, the apple trees are a big bonus

We were 2 and we waited a very long time until we got a short ride, but we were so tired that we accepted to get to another shitty spot.

Not a really good spot because cars don't have space to pull out. There was not much traffic so it was okay. We got a ride to Kløfta, very close but in a better spot. 2 guys with a Trondheim sign.

Nice place but not so busy. A friend who was going north picked us up after a hour waiting so that was not hitchhiking :)

Nice spot but... no one is going that way. We walked south-west on the road to go to the gas station near the bridge. It's a way much better spot.

Not a good spot. A lot of cars but too quick, there's not enough place to pull out. We walked 1,5km north to the rest area.

We were walking to the next rest area (north) with our Bodø sign in sight. We were at the left of the road. Suddenly, a car stopped in the space a little bit further on the road, so we ran and the guy was going to Mo i Rana. That was just luck.

Good spot to go east. We wanted to go to the free ferry at Stokkvågen and it worked ! With a Stokkvågen sign we waited 30min to get a ride to the harbour and then we took the free boat to Lovund, I really recommend this island if you like birds or hiking!

Good spot to continue north on the road. We wanted to go to Brønnøysund, and old man took us to Høylandet but he was going near Brønnøysund, we didn't manage to understand well each other. Carefull, a lot of old local people that don't speak English very well...
