If you go towards Târgu Mureș, here is a wider spot after the MOL gas station. Often drivers avoid Târgu Mureș at Acățari (even better if you go farther), so make sure you ask :)

Good place to find someone to Gniezno/Poznań. Some space for cars. Take bus to Błonie - f.e. 69, but a lot of buses going to Błonie, and then you have to walk 500 meters

To Metz (Semecourt to be right, to go to Paris) ; 5min

For the story:
I'll remember all my life that I see this Audi get off and head towards me. I'm trying to avoid prejudice, but I said to myself: is he going to spit at me? Well no..he opens the window and smiling wonder where I am going. He takes me in his Audi R8 and takes me to another spot!
Few people believe me, too bad. Only the driver and me to find out: D
THANK YOU!

To Thionville ; 15min

You can got a ride near the church (bus stop) or, if you prefer, you can go directly to get a ride at intersections: 'rue de la gare' and 'rue de l'école'
This is the village of my childhood, so I never waited more than 15min before a knowledge takes me.
Feel free to take a break to listen to the birds and the stream :D

This is the next gas station out of bilbao direction zaragossa/madrid.
Its nearly impossible to reach this station without a driver. we walked from the center of bilbao to here. First idea: walk one kilometer on the highway. While the daylight, seems impossible, cause the police is waiting for you before the entrance of the highway. So we had no other option, than to cross the nature! Got to the BI-625 and cross the river using a bridge. Then climb and struggle throught the nature :D. It was a adventure for us! Maybe its better to go the one kilometer on the highway by night. hopefully there is no police there :)

But from this station we waited 2 hours to get a ride direction madrid

Very good and only possible spot for hitchhike, you just walk straight by the main road and when you see a big sign saying Čadca/ Český Těšín, just stand there, there is quite a lot of space for cars to stop because it is the secondary lane that connects to the main road from the right side.

It's a bus stop close to the city center but it's quite useless to go farther. You should make a stop sign and write "Mauges" : that's the name of the historical countryside. From there, you can easily go to Saint-Laurent-de-la-Plaine or Bourgneuf-en-Mauges. Have a nice trip !

C'est un arrêt de bus proche du centre-ville mais c'est presque inutile d'aller plus loin. Vous devriez faire une pancarte et écrire "Mauges" : c'est le nom de la région historique. Depuis là, vous pouvez facilement aller à Saint-Laurent-de-la-Plaine ou Bourgneuf-en-Mauges. Faîtes un bon voyage !

By this way, you'll go along the corniche Angevine to Rochefort-sur-Loire or Beaulieu-sur-Layon. If you want to take a train, the station is quite far so it's easier to do some hitch hiking while walking from this point.

Par cette route, vous longerez la corniche Angevine vers Rochefort-sur-Loire ou Beaulieu-sur-Layon. Si vous voulez prendre un train, la gare est plutôt loin donc c'est plus facile de faire de l'autostop en marchant de ce point.

As soon as you are on the Ferry you can go around and ask people where they are going. It takes quite a lot of energy but it's worth it, you have to find out which people are not on a Bus trip and ask them if they are going in your direction. I highly recommend to force yourself to do it, even if it's just the next Service station, it's probably  A LOT better than Calais right now (Sept. 2015)

Toll booth: personnaly I went there from Auxerre (which is quite easy if you're patient and not afraid to walk) by following the road signs "Paris" and "A6".
Sometimes I had to wait for the traffic to thin up a bit before I could keep going, also I walked in quite a bit of vegetation (especially Urticae) which isn't that big a problem if you wear shoes and long pants. 

Walking on the (right) side of the road might not be comfortable for everybody since once you're out of the town, cars and trucks drive quite fast, however it's not dangerous in the least from my experience if you stay out of the road. If you don't want to walk all the way there, you could probably ask drivers at Auxerre driving North if they can drop you at the toll, but that's not something I tried.

I was trying to get to Tonnerre (EAST), which is right between Auxerre and Dijon, and far from the big roads. I was initially waiting at the gas station in the "Avenue du Maréchal Juin", but a guy from Auxerre dropped me under this bridge because it would be easier according to him, and it is indeed the perfect spot for hitchhikers (it being practical doesn't mean many will stop...): plenty of space for cars to pull over, great visibility, the bridge offers protection from the sun and they all slow down to take that turn.
Easy to reach on foot too.

If you wish to go SOUTH (or NORTH) from Auxerre, I suggest you continue (either on foot or ask to be dropped) to the highway toll further down the road (5km/2.5mi) to the East. From there catch a lift to the nearest rest area in the direction you want to go, and wait for somebody to take you.

Probably the best Spot in the Rendsburg Area. Parking lot and perfect highway approach will get you fast north and south (A7 to DK or Hamburg). The rual road (B203) works fine too, it brings you to the baltic sea (Eckernförde) or Rendsburg. Negative is the fact, that its pretty far out, about 6k from Rendsburg.

Is easy to stop cars, but all of them will ask you for money  (welcome to Bali) and everyone will tell you that no one will pick you up for free - just keep smiling and continue to say "gratis"... I waited about 30 to 40 min for a free ride (which is a lot for a western in Indonesia)

A good spot but the worst place ever to hitchhicke on the 65 cultures I went, from asia to america. Only expats (whites, Pakistani, Indians). Most Malawite will try to take advantage of your situation to make you pay (even if they are richer than you), begging is the national sport. Be aware that they can agree to take you for free but will change their mind one you will have make a couple of km with them, and they sometime become quite violent (on guy threatened me with iron rod). It's sad, but you can't really trust people there, try you will see. It's still possible, I hitchhike several hundert km (from Mzuzu Malawi to Zambia Lundazi and back,  to solve a visa issue) that was the most horrible trip I ever did, a more than a 20 years of international hitchhicke. You need to Waite for at least few hours, people making fun at you, I even got stoned and insulted while crossing small villages on foot (to get a better spot). I have been helped by few malawite (2 on 24 people, the 22 where foreigner). several hundert Malawit stopped, but ask money. 6 of them promise me a free ride but change their mind after few minutes.

Just to say: Mozambic, some part of Tanzania, South Sudan where very easy compare to Malawi.

It is an industrial area near the airport so, this bridge is mainly used by trucks and cars that come from the airport.

The road is relatively new so the traffic flow is not that much. But you can easily stop a car.

If you come from the airport it is about 15 to 20 min walking. If you come from Georgetown you can take a local bus (about 1usd) and get out right before the river and then walk 10 to 15 min.

Belanie...who doesn*t know? I was standing there for no more than 5 minutes to travel to Germany / Bautzen. But the petrol station is hard to find if you don*t know the area. You have to walk to the otherside of belanie-park (you see the motorway and you have to walk through the tunnel under the motorway) if you arrive by bus at the Belanie-Park. Then you have to walk right over the field for ca. 500 meters. Then you*ll see the "Orlen"-Petrol Station.

If you don't ask people on the ferry because you fell asleep (like me), this is your best shot of getting a ride. This is where the trans canada begins again, the shuttle bus can take you fairly close. Try not to miss it though (like me), cause that will decrease your chances. If you miss all the cars coming off the ferry you'll have to wait til the next one comes. You can stand anywhere in the curve, the shoulder is very wide. Got a ride within 20 minutes.

A lot of cars coming from the city center and from further from the 109. Good spot to go North (stand in the middle of both lanes, there's place to be there and safe at the same time) direction Moss or E-6.
Also good going direction Sweden (Stand on the right side). Also a petrol station where you can talk with the drivers. Got a ride direct to Oslo with a sign saying "Nord E6" in 15 minutes.

After the intersection. Cars go slowly and there is a lot of space to pull off. I stood there just thumbing and it took me less than 20 minutes to get a hitch close to Ibagué. Traffic comes from Bogotá, but there is also a lot of local traffic. Maybe I was just really lucky that day.

Detrás del crucero. Traffico desde Bogotá. Consigué un paseo hasta cerca de Ibagué en menos de veinte minutos sin letrero. Sin embargo hay también mucho traffico local. Tal vez sólo tuviese mucha suerte este día.

Bus stop outside Szajol, direction Debrecen-Oradea-Cluj, on the number 4 highway. I got here from Szolnok taking a bus to Torokszentmiklos (paid 370 forints, but if you pay for Szajol, must be less than that).

From the centre of Szolnok, I walked East and then South over Tisza river (road 442, Kertesz ut.), then turned left at the roundabout and took a bus to T-miklos from a bus stop.

A gas station in the direction of A2 motorway and Wrocław, but not the best choice. Few cars stop here, usually you will find the average of 2 trucks. Cars on the road are speeding 100+ km/h and don't want to lose the speed just for you. You can get here by bus to "Sanocka n/ż" stop and then walk +-1½ km. 
Better choice to hitchhike is probably Rondo Rataje earlier on the same road.

A lot of local traffic goes here. 
You can also try going by tram to the end of tracks and a bit further there is a gas station. 
Poor choice in the direction of Bydgoszcz, Toruń, in such case it's better to hitchhike on Gnieźnieńska Street, +- 2 km northeast.

I'm guessing at the hitch point somewhere along this road.  Traffic is fast but if you've got the patience you'll get a ride out of the city eventually.  Be aware most drivers will try to take you to the bus terminal or ask for money - which get's incredibly frustrating as it happens very frequently.

For PARIS follow the N7 to GIEN and take the highway on the hitchhiking spot.
For NEVERS or south try the N7 (could be long, it's a freeway, always longer on freeway, fucking locals)

Very good, but only as of November 13, 2015. The highway is being renovated here, so cars have to come to a complete stop before actually hitting the highway. There's a gas station 3 km down the highway, so I stood with a "3 KM" sign and a truck stopped, and actually drove me further than the gas station. I don't think such roadwork will last long, so think twice before hitchhiking here.

Good spot to go to Munich but also to A96 in direction of Lindau. There is a lot of space for cars to stop along the parking place. 

Best times to go to Munich are with the commuters in the morning and the returning weekend guests on Sunday evening. Many people can drop you at some S-Bahn or U-Bahn station in Munich so you can go to your final destination.

If you go in the direction of Lindau try to go at least a little further than Landsberg. (the gas station and Rastplatz "Lechwiesen" is shortly after Landsberg).

Try to avoid holidays or Sunday during the day as there might be no or little relevant traffic.

You can stuck here if your car from Tashkent goes to Namangan but you want to go further. There is one important detail about this place - there is a crossroad not far from there and drivers will show you their direction either to the right if he goes to Kokand or left if he goes to Fergana via circular road around Kokand.

Place after the peage. It would be good if not the row of the trucks just on the right side so it is hard for small cars to go to the right and stop. (some drivers were willing to stop but they didn't suceed..).
Spanish police came at the moment we went to the further (better) spot so we moved to the frech area. French police also came here but they let us hitchhike from the sidewalk there (what was not so bad).
It can be better to walk to the roundabout in the city (what we did).

Good visibility and place to stop. Traffic was low and it took us some time to find a ride to the nearest gas station.
It is forbiden to walk there but police was passing by a few times and they didn't mind.

If you're going towards Dresden, this is the best spot in my experience. I tried the other spots before this, and there is nowhere for people to stop. Here, 6 cars stopped for me in 15 mins. I didn't have a sign, and one of these took me to Dresden - the rest were just going to the next town. The trick is to put your bags against the second pole/stake from the motorway sign, then stand to the left and in front of your bags. It's non threatening and people can see you. I tried other positions (behind pole) and it didn't work.

We first tried to hitchhike to go southwards from a gas station inside the city (Ancap) but almost all drivers were returning to the city or heading north. We got a ride from there to a point outside of the city (about 5km) where many trucks stop. There were dozens of them parked on the left side of the road when going south. We waited less than a minute until the first truck went out of that parking and picked us up!

To Paris. N266, Rue des Deux Gares/Tweestationsstraat. There's a gas station a few minutes' walk away from Gare du Midi. No need for public transportation to get there and plenty of space for cars to stop. The traffic depends on the time and day of the week, but always reasonable, and most are heading for the Ring. 
We waited for 20 minutes before getting a straight ride to Paris.

Small gas station but probably your only option if you're going towards Turkey. 

At this point (November 2015) hitchhiking to Turkey is next to impossible because of the newly opened road. The traffic density is VERY LOW (highway with 1 car every 5 minutes or so) and there are absolutely no gas stations or any hitchhiking spots along the road, and the average speed is way too high to hh directly from the highway. Effectively this means you'll have to get a direct ride to the border from here.

Good spot to hitch towards Mount Bogda, Mongolian border in Takeshiken or northern Xinjiang. Find your bus on http://map.baidu.com/ there are stop nearby.
Ask the drivers if they're going to Fuyun as most traffic will be heading off to the industrial districts just north of Urumqi. In Fuyun get off at the toll booths and you'll get a ride to your destination.
As many drivers in Xinjiang ask you to pay for the ride, use the magical phrase "mien fei" (lit. "avoid fee") before you hop in the car.

Done this spot several times (more than 10), highly recomended.

Half of the cars coming from Volos are passing this way because it's fast. (the other half take the south exit because it's short, although there are many villages in between)
But if you're coming from Volos, this spot is easier to reach than the south spot.

This is the official punto amarillo on the autopista nacional heading east, which means that you will find yourself in competition with lots of other (Cuban) hitchhikers. Cars are legally expected to stop, and you can raise your chances by waiving with 20 pesos bills (like most Cubans do). waiting time can vary between minutes and hours. to get to the punto amarillo, take the p7 from parque central, get out in san francisco de paula and either walk or take a ride along the primer anillo to the punto amarillo. when lost, ask cubans, everyone knows where the punto amarillo is.

Good place to go from Rio. Here are speed cameras, so cars go slowly. Went from here to Paraty and waited near 15-20 min.
To get here:
1. Take train from Central to Campo Grande
2. Then you need bus to Mangaratiba. Ask people, if possible. It goes not from Rodoviaria, but also near station. Yoou need go right and a bit forward from train station. Costs ~10$R

A good HHing spot if you are going to Veles and then to Greece, f.e. Thessaloniki. Good amount of cars, good visibility, lots of space for the people to stop and even a small market where drivers stop to shop for small things so you can go and talk straight to the drivers.
Take bus 65B from the Skopje central rail station and hop out somewhere close to this part of the city, after the gas station that you'll see on the left (it's marked as a HH spot 1km before this one).

January 2016: Although the B2 starts right next to Wittenberg's Old Town, it's nearly impossible to get a ride from there, as the driving speed starts already at 100km/h. There are not any crossings, roundabouts or bus stops where the drivers could possibly reduce the speed to pick you up. The first actual place where you could stand with your thumb up would be Eutzch, a little village 9km south from Wittenberg. You can walk there (it's a long walk and there's a sidewalk only in the first 5km) or take the bus 306, which runs from Wittenberg Hauptbahnhof once every hour.

I was probably very lucky, but of the two cars here when i arrived in the morning after sleeping in the comfortable airport, one was heading towards Villefranche and dropped me at the peage nearby which leads to paris or Strasborg (A6 or A432) .

There is space for cars to stop but they are very fast here. There is little shade so you might get fried on a hot day. If you run out of water your only option is to catch a lift back into Alice Springs.

Good spot to catch a ride west on the Tanami road but you'll have to get a lift to get here. There is not much traffic but vehicles will pull in slowly and are generally very likely to stop. Most cars will take you to Yuendumu. Best days are Sunday and early Monday as people drive back into communities from town. There is not much shade and a slight chance to get stranded for a night in the desert if you arrive too late. Take plenty of water.

Threeways roadhouse. This place gets traffic from Darwin, Alice and the Queensland coast. I found the staff friendly and it is a good place to ask stopping cars for a lift. In my eyes way better than trying to stop one down the road. But you still might need a bit of patience.

There is not an awfull lot of options if you want to catch a lift south on the highway. This place is good since there is lots of space for cars to stop and they come in not to fast and you'll be well visible. There is hardly any shade here but there is a tree about 150 m to the north that provides protection from the sun.

BP service station. You might find it hard to get a lift here but in my eyes asking people here is your best bet to get a lift north or south - especially on a hot day when it is hard to stand next to the road. Because there is a lot of local traffic that goes nowhere, it might be worthwhile to sit in front of the station and look out for cars coming down the highway from the north. There is a good chance that they continue south.

There is not a lot of trees that provide shade here. But there is one that makes this a good spot when you want to go east to Alice. You are really out alone in the desert here so cars are very likely to pick you up. Provided there are some. Traffic east can get scarse after 5pm. So go early and take plenty of water- just in case. Fridays are best.

On ramp to the ring around Bochum (which is about to be turned into a highway). Not ideal to stop but it is possible and it does happen. Most drivers don't go far but they might take you to some gas station, for example Beverbach at A40 on the way to Dortmund.

Very busy ramp, gas stations and restaurants all around. Apparently this ramp has been used by a lot of hitchhikers and tramps, as the guardrail is covered in signatures and hitchhiking tips by people who have tried there before. One even says that if you're hungry, you can walk to Waffle House and get a whole menu for free. 
I got a ride after 1 hour, and the driver even took me out for lunch.

If you're hitching out west out of Nashville, consider investing your time walking to this spot rather than thumbing on entries closer to the city center.

I'm From Brazil, got a ride from here in 10 minutes with a trucker to cuzco.
The only thing that i think is good to point is that, while i was there, an old man was by my side. He was desperated because i was hitchhiking, saying that it wasn't safe.
On the other hand, trucker said that that it was common for him to take hitchhickers there.
Take your on conclusions.
Mine is, i would do that again

To get in this place i asked a man on the street where was the road to cuzco and he indicated me a mini van that would take me here. it costs 0,60 cents.

If you want to hitchhike to Cuzco, first you need to go to Juliaca. It's unlikely that you'll get a ride direct to Cusco in Puno. Good news is, is not dificult to get to Juliaca. I got in this place by foot, it was a long way, if you can catch a mini van, i recommend, they only cost about 60 centimos (cents in peruvian money).
I got a ride to Juliaca in about 30 minutes in this place.

There's a gas station here, it isn't a very goo place to hitchhike but when i'm going from Rio de Janeiro to São Paulo this is where I hitchhike.
To get here you can take the train that goes to Japeri in the central station in Rio de Janeiro, it costs less than 4 reais.
You'll leave the train in queimados, after that you can walk for 30 minutes to this place or catch a bus. I prefer to walk.
Theres a gas station 5 Km ahead that is a great place to get rides with truckers, if someone ofers you a ride until there, acept it.
Other option is to go there by bus.

On the other hand, this is a police station, so the cars pass slowly and it's safe.
Luckly got a ride to the 381 road in 1hour.

IF YOU CAN, use a sign with the name of the place you intend to go, it may make easier to get a ride

may be a good place to go to Formiga, just walk a few meters to BR 0-50

I've heard it is tricky to get to El Chalten. Other directions should work. To the north there will be a 100 km of gravel - so not everyone goes there.

Easy - at least to Gregores and coast-bound (Puerto Santa Cruz, Rio Gallegos) - El Chalten and El Calafate will be tough due to the gravel road.

Alright. We need to talk about this place, because you will eventually end up here, if you are heading North to South on the 40. One thing first: Most cars will head to the coast since they try to bypass the 100 km gravel road towards Tres Lagos. When I arrived I met another hitchhiker who already waited two days to get to Chalten and then decided to take the bus. I waited here from 12 pm til 8 pm, then headed to the free Municipal Camping. Next day from 5 am til 2pm no ride to Tres Lagos: Many cars stopped and told me they only went up to the estancia, but no way would continue on the 40. Eventually I gave up El Chalten and took a ride to Gallegos. It's a 400 km way, but you can get dropped of at the police post there and take the 5 towards El Calafate (another 300 km). That went incredibly quick. In Rio Gallegos I immediately got a car to Rio Turbio where I headed instead (El Calafate should be similarly easy). I know...it's 700 km, but better to drive for 6 or 7 hours than spending two days at this spot. If someone of you get's to this place...can you send me a picture of my nice poetry work on the Tres Lagos sign (obviously I almost went insane there :DDDD)

Take a Collectivo 15 to Tres Puentes (any cab with Tres Puentes or Zona Franca), the port (it costs 450 Pesos, less than a USD or Euro).

Then walk on the Ruta 9. It's by far not the best spot, but after a while you will manage to get a car to the police post or even to the bigger West/East road split. 

You might pay the Collectivo Taxi driver a bit more (like 1000 Pesos) to get you further. Tres Puentes is the last stop of the taxi, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

There's plenty of place to stop, but cars are quick, why I wouldn't necessarily walk further (unlikely to reach a calmer spot on foot).

Bus stop direction Stockach / Bodensee or Ulm. Many cars were passing here on Friday 13:00. I recommend you to walk a bit in the opposit direction of the roundabout, just before the bus stop so cars can see you from afar (there is a turn right before the bus station and the cars can't see you very well)

It's easy to hitchhike North or West from anywhere along this stretch of road. Bus 14 (from Rustaeli metro) and marshrutkas 32 and 41 stop here, among many others. You need to be careful to get off the bus here (tell the driver!!) because if you miss the stop the bus turns around and, you'll have to cross the busy highway or walk 10 minutes north to an underpass. If you're going north towards Gudauri/Kazbegi and a car going West stops for you, it will be really helpful to ride about with them to the turnoff where the road splits towards Gudauri/Russian border. Many cars will drive away when you tell them you're going to Gudauri because they think they can't help you, so if you're not good at Russian, try to sign language that you want to go to the turnoff to Gudauri and have them take you there.

If you get a marshrutka to Carrefour, it's very easy to hitchhike north or east from just after the mall. There are a few spots with space for a car to pull over. This spot is often crowded with hitchhikers, but is still incredibly easy to get a ride. Last time I was there, a guy took 6 hitchhikers in his car and another car pulled over just behind him to take the other 2.

From here you can get to Siematycze, where goes a main road between Białystok and Lublin. But if you leave on a crossing a few kilometers earlier, you will be just 4 km away from Holy Mountain of Grabarka, where you can walk or hitchhike as well.

For Trucks to Morocco.
If you check google maps, you'll see this is just in front of a roundabout where trucks are slow, some are stopping there for a while. The ones that are driving though go strait on the ferry (based on one experience).

Weird place. There are a couple of truck stops, but this entrance is just not busy at all. I find asking drivers directly in truck stops not very efficient in America (unlike Europe), but still hang out there for a while and then hit the on-ramp and thumb. It has happened a few times to me that people picked me up off the ramp cause they saw me hanging out at the truck stop.

Four massive truck stops at the four corners of this entrance and plenty of cars flowing, and yet no one stops. I got stuck here for a day and a half, until someone finally stopped and took me miles east of the city. 
Besides, my tent got blown away by a thunderstorm during the night. If the weather doesn't look good, just spend the night inside the Pilot truck stop, as the employees are friendly there. Just chill in the TV room. Weather can be pretty hazardous in Oklahoma.

I waited here at this gas station for about 5 minutes until someone stopped to pick me up. They had to pull over in the "no entry" gap of the gas station because by the time he noticed me there was nowhere else to stop. Luckily, there were no vehicles exiting the gas station at that time so there was space for him to stop there briefly. I would recommend standing further down the road from the gas station to hitchhike so that drivers have the time to see you and then make a decision to stop for you before they reach the point of no return! Cars are going by quite fast on this road so they have little time to make quit stopping decisions.

Actually a horrible spot, but the stoplight gives you enough time to let a decent length of cars see and consider stipping on the very short stretch of shoulder that's wide enough to stop.

Most drivers here don't go to CZ, but after 30 mins of asking a truck driver gave me a ride to Brno. It's a very good spot for Wien, Germany and East Slovakia (Nitra), but only a good spot for CZ. But still much better than going to the city and looking for a spot there

You're standing a good bit before the sign saying 'No Autostop', and there's plenty stopping space. Tried for a few minutes going towards Livorno without luck (but someone going to Southern Italy stopped) and then due to nightfall arising hitched into Grosseto which only took about three minutes.

Actually a very good hitchhiking spot towards Austria, the value of this place is spoiled by the fact that you're standing a few meters behind the highway sign. I've been sent away from here by the police before.

I was trying to get a lift east direction Carcassone / Narbonne. Waited around 40 minutes until I decided to take a bus to another spot (Ramonville) where I got a lift to the peage. Maybe it's more likely to get a ride if one just asks to get a lift to the peage.

At the traffic light in the ground level for the cars who turn left to the highway. The traffic light stays for a long time red, so one has enough time to speak to the drivers. However, most of the cars there didn't go to the peage in the direction lyon, where I was heading to.

Great place to go north. A gas station at the road leading to the highway. You can easily reach it by taking the tram untill the station "Bensheimer Straße". Most of the cars are leaving the station towards the north in the direction of Frankfurt or Darmstadt. Just ask for that direction. There are highway gas stations on the A67 and the A5 just 20 km away.

There's a service station and a Bob's in here. This is a good spot as it is already common among students from the Rural University of Rio de Janeiro to come and hitchhike in here towards Sao Paulo. You know, where people are used to see students hitchhiking is always a place with higher chances to get a ride.
To get here you can take the bus 193c from the central station in Rio de Janeiro and ask to get off at Bob's (if he/she doesn't know where it is, just say it's the next gas station after the toll booth in the exit of the city).

We decided to stop after the toll, the police station and the gas station to show that we were going to Pelotas. We waited for 40 min, and a truck stopped. The best day is saturday cause many people are going back to their home after a work week.

To get to this point, we took a bus to near Guaíba (R$ 7 - 2016) and they left us after the police station, in front of the gas station, where there is a bus stop.

As of May 2016 there's construction work going on at the roundabout. If you're heading towards Kraków or Czech Republic and don't want to enter the city, a good spot to get a ride to Bielany Wrocławskie is just where the lanes for the traffic from the roundabout and from the north merge. Not a lot of space, that's why I rate in only average, but due to the roadworks the cars drive slower. A police car passing didn't mind our presence there (we were wearing our reflective vests, might have helped). 10 minutes and we got a ride to Bielany.

It may be a good spot to go to Morlaix or Lorient. But be careful of the hour. On sunday morning, there is only old people back from church and they won't drive you.

This is very good spot for long ride. Here are a lot of trucks and if you stay on this corner some body will pick you up. But don't go for short ride. It is better to stay longer here. I  in one hour catch bus for free to Dallas, but declined two short offer before it.

Кажется, как будто отличное место, чтобы ехать - в Мисьонес: до аэропорта ходит городской автобус, прямая дорога на север  (Рута Досе). Но на практике меня никто не брал часов 6. Плюс-минус 500 метров не в счёт. Дело было в выходной день в январе, орды народа ехали со всеми детями и до ближайшего пляжа, наверное, дело в этом. Ещё здесь на меня напали какие-то чудовищные жёлтые гусеницы. Бойтесь жёлтых гусениц - они организованы и оставляют болезненные ожоги!

There is very little traffic at this border crossing, and it's difficult to get here. Most of the traffic into Romania is from Hungary to Arad, so unless you have a specific reason to enter from here, you better avoid. Hitchhiking after the border towards timisoara wasn't easy because of very little traffic. I was lucky the border police helped me and put me on a truck

It is a good place to reach south toll gates. Cars drives quite slow and they have a lot of space to stop. There was a little renovation there so it can a bit change. From toll gates you can easily have a ride to Melaka or Singapore.

Using bus 400 you can get off on leisure mall or one bus stop earlier (should be even better).

However Shell in Buin is inside the town so you get mostly local cars.  Yellow line you see is a shoulder road separated from autopista by fence and is a bit senseless. Driver point that they entering the town and very few leaves it to further south.

This is a great place for heading both east (Toulouse) and west (Bayonne). It's between two roundabouts and there's a bus stop, so the cars are very slow and have a place to stop. I didn't wait for more than a minute.

Came from the mountains down to this spot and we here going to Lillehammer. We stood here in 1,5 hours and 5 cars drove past us our way. Say yes to every ride you get. 7km down there road is there a tourist spot called helvete. When we got here, it was much easier getting a hike.

Large sidewalk, in front of a gas station. DIrections Lisbon and Guarda.
It has an hardware and gardening store really close, so the drivers can pull over at the shops entrance to pick you up.
We were going to Nisa wich is a small village and we waited for 40 minutes max.
I noticed it also serves the people who live in the outskirts of Castelo Branco, so probably lots of people will tell you they're staying in town.

Got dropped here after hitching from zagreb - made a sign "niš" and was thumbing for around 10 mins before a massive storm errupted out of nowhere, the staff were amazing, making me comfortable inside giving n free food until the storm passed. When it did, I stood at the entrance with my sign for 20 mins before a guy stopped and took me 100km further. It's not the best spot and especially after school ends, it seemed to be all family's with full cars, didn't see a single truck come through.

Try not to get here!!!
The station prohibits hitchhiking on their area, not only on the station but also on their parking space. Stay naive and try to keep unnoticed by staff. It's not possible to leave by walk so that might be a good arguing point.

A nice spot to wait for getting north here. You can from Piura get a ride here (or to Suillana) and then continue from here - for instance to Mancora. The Panamericana does not have a lot of traffic from here to the north at the coast, because there's another Panamericana more in the east - which is shorter if you directly want to get to ecuador.

Were travelling to Poland with "PL" sign in couple boy-girl, in a minute got a ride for 70 km until gas station. Very good place to HH as cars that go to Poland slow down before joining the highway, plus there is a pocket on the road where drivers can stop safely and easily. Take metro until last station Cerny Most and walk 10 min to this spot (close to huge shopping mall Cerny Most Centrum).

Perfect spot to HH to Krakow. Were travelling in a couple boy-girl with a sign KRK. Stand next to the barrier as there is a little pocket for drivers to stop safely. There is not too many cars, yet all of them go to your direction, so chances are very high. Due to the turn, cars have to go slowly, so they can easily spot you and have enough time to decide. Got a ride in 5 min.

Great spot for going to Germany (Plzeň - Rozvadov - Nurnberg/Munich/..). We waited about 20 minutes, very frequented gas station, easy to get a ride. If you want to get there from Prague. Take a bus number 380 to Rudná Hořelice and than take the first street to the right and walk about 5 minutes straight ahead before turning right again (maybe ask for the exact street) and than walk through bushes. And you are there

The spot is a bit behind the highway sign, but there's enough place to stop (there's no other good place). Two guys were hitchhiking and a car stopped after 5 mins taking to Salzburg. But I have to say that when the car stopped, my friend went to look for a shadow, so practically the Serbian driver stopped only for one guy..

Probably the best place to leave Istanbul towards the east. You won't catch all the traffic like at the toll gate but you also don't risk being sent away by police. Use a sign for Bolu and people will also offer you shorter rides, make sure you get one at least to Gebze as just before that is the first gas station on this road.

I luckily found a ride about 15 KM's north of Sarande into the city, otherwise I would have been stranded.

Aqui é um ponto bom para conseguir carona, sentido BH. Fica bem na entrada do AABB. 
É um lugar um pouco mais distante do centro de Barbacena, então infelizmente não vou saber dizer como chegar aqui de ônibus.

Most cars come from Helmstedt to go on the A2 westwards and you can see it by which line they choose. They are also slow enough and the beginning of the ramp is wide enough for a normal car to pick you up next to the "island", while others could still pass. Waited about 25 minutes.

Good place for hitchhikers , region passing vehicles to the northeast, south and southeast. The good place is the output of the gas station and direct approach to drivers stopped at the station . The vehicles do not pass many slowly , so eye contact is impaired.

To reach the site should take any bus in Carapina terminal passing through the CONTOURNO and jump in Serramar post.

A decent spot to hitch a ride towards Vila Real/Mirandela. A short walk from the train station; when we arrived there, a friendly man from the café nearby told us how to get to the station - just before the main gate there's a path to the left between the bushes. Take it and you'll get to a brick wall after around 5m. Climb it (easy with the help of the fence) and you're there! The 3rd driver we asked too us directly to MIrandela.

South-bound hitch spot on the highway.  THis spot is just south of the traffic lights with Boundary street, and has lots of room for cars to pull over.  Traffic is slow here on its way out of Macksville, so its easy for cars to stop.

Its a good spot to stop and dumpster dive the nearby Woolies supermarket on your way south.

Only downside to this spot is that it is popular with truckies to stop and rest here.  If the trucks wont take you you might have to wait for them to leave so that there is enough room for cars to see you and stop.

Good place to HH to Poznań. 2016 - The place is under construction which gives even better opportunities. The cars don't speed because there is a roundabout. There's also a bus stop so cars have a place to stop. Stand as close to the roundabout as you can to give drivers time to make decision whether to stop on the bus stop. POZNAŃ sign is helpful.

Tu laisse les gens regarder tes pancartes ton sac lorsqu'ils rentrent dans la boutique, toi t'es pas tres loin mais pas collé a ton sac... ils font le lien, rapidement.. ils ont le temps de reflechir a l'interieur du magasin s'ils veulent ou non prendre qqun en stop...
et quand ils sortent tu leur demande gentillement ou est ce qu'ils vont.

Sinon tu vas directement demander aux gens qui sont en train de faire le plein, et tu fais toutes les voitures !

Good place to catch something to Amsterdam. It's the best to stay on the bridge, before the lights, cars have to stop or go slower anyway, there is some space in wayside to stop.

Not too far to get to here by foot from city center. I've spoken to a local girl who told me she has seen hitchhikers standing here a few times, so I came here to give it a try. Hitchhiking to Stockholm, I got a direct ride in around 15min. I'd recommend to only accept rides going direct to Stockholm from here, there should be many drivers doing this route and this seems to be always really a good spot. You should stand right at the corner so that people coming from both your left and right side can see you. There's a good space for them to pull over right at this corner, just make sure you don't block it with your backpack and make sure you stand right at the corner so that they have time enough to think and pull over for you safely!

There's a long bus stop here nowadays but Google Street View is out of dated for the city of Trelleborg so you won't see it here if you check it today (July 2016). Anyways, I'd recommend you to don't stand by this bus stop, people really seem to not stop there! I heard from locals that it might be even forbidden for them to pull over there. This street really sucks to find a place to hitchhike, but also by speaking to locals I heard that they've seen people standing and hitchhiking just after this long bus stop. Go there and you sou should see a traffic sign prohibiting people to walk farther in that road, and that's exactly where you should stand - just by that sign. There's some space just after this sign where the cars can pull over for you. It really sucks to hitchhike in this central part of this road (I haven't tried others) but this seems like maybe the least bad spot over here + people have seen hitchhikers here before. I didn't get any car to pull over for me anyways, but instead a whole bus stopped. Going to Ystad, the driver said "just come in, just come in!" and that was how I hitchhiked a bus that day.

Milos is great for hitchhiking like the rest of the islands. I wanted to hike up to the highest point. Caught several rides from the edge of Adamas up until the roads become an adventurers paradise. Luckily found a dutch couple touring the island by car and dropped me off at the bottom of the mountain. After finishing my hike, caught a ride from that end of the island straight back to Adamas town. Incredible.

Bus stop for hitching south. A bit too much traffic for my taste, though. This might be your spot if you want to hitch from Stavanger or Sandnes southwards. If you're leaving Stavanger you may need to take a bus or train Sandnes and then walk to here (5 km from the centre. Fares are expensive but you can often get away without a ticket especially by bus.

this is the road to the Greek border, so it has very low traffic as only people are using it who want to enter Greece. we were very lucky because got picked up by the 10th car, but for this we waited 30min. there are no trees, and the space is in a valley, so it was very-very hot and the sun was crazy strong. have water with you, and cover yourself (or use umbrella), because the sun can harm you badly, and there is no place to hide.

Might be a decent starting point to get on the A7. This spot is close to the terminal stop "Anderten" of tram #5. To get to the southern gas station follow the narrow path coming from the bridge across the Mittelland Canal.
Not much traffic though. If it takes to long you can still walk to the Wülferode Service Area (A7) in the south, which might take another half an hour.
I got a lucky ride to Berlin (via A2) after waiting there 30 min.

This sercice area "Demminer Land" opend in July 2016 and is the only gas station at the A20 between Rostock an Prenzlau. It is only located at the western lane but traffic going north can excess it via a bridge. There are not many reasons why you should end up here but if you do, you can choose between going to Berlin or Rostock.
For going to Greifswald find soneone going directly there or let them drop you either at exit 27 (Gützkow) or exit 25 (Greifswald).

While it's a little hard to hitchhike in Italy here a lot of cars arrive with a ferry coming from greece, Mostly in holiday seasons a lot of cars heading France and germany. A little hard to ask because everyone is so upset with all the traffic but possible to ask when they come out from the ferrys.

The ride was fine but I hated having to wait so long.  The girl that picked me up said that the people of Watervliet don't tend to think well of strangers and so I was lucky that I got a ride.  If you can help it I would advise not hitching here.

I was going to try hitchhiking here but there were 2 problems.  First, the traffic is ridiculous and it is super hard to cross the street without getting hit.  Second, even if you are on the correct side of the road to hitch west they don't cut down any of the grass or plants so you would have to walk through tons of brush right on the side of the highway in order to get to the on-ramp.  I wouldn't even try it here.

This is the location of the largest truck stop in the world!  People that don't hitchhike think that getting rides from truckers is super easy because they go so far, but the truth is that many of them have insurance reasons that they can't pick people up.  I got fooled 3 times at this location from truckers that were pulling over on the shoulder of the on-ramp, but they were not pulling over for me.  After about 2 hours in the hot sun, I got a woman to give me a ride for about a half an hour down the road.  Lots of traffic here, but most of it is semi trucks that won't pull over.  Still a decent hitching spot.

I have mixed feelings about this spot.  I was hitching late in the day for about 2 hours with no luck.  The next morning I was hitching for about a half hour when a girl pulled over headed all the way to Rapid City, SD!  This was the best ride I have ever gotten, but I got it in a really crappy place for hitchhiking.  Very few cars to begin with, and if she had been an Iowa resident she probably wouldn't have pulled over.

There's a bus stop where a car can easily pull over. Otherwise, the road is too narrow with no space for a car to stop! So, be careful.

There's enough space for a car to pull over. As of summer 2016, there was some road construction underway there (a dotted line on the map), which is why cars went quite slow. The situation will surely change soon, but still it's a quite a good spot.

Peça pra descer no ultimo ponto da av.13 de maio e caminhe com direção a rua vila ormuz. Referencias: posto 555 e motel clarks. Existe uma saida para Rodovia onde o fluxo de carros é grande e você também pode ser vistx por quem já está na rodovia..

They also have a short fuse, and will kick you out after a day, meaning they don't want you sitting on their property period. Nice camping and a good bridge by the tracks, at least.

A place to catch a ride into A-49 autovia to Sevilla.

There's a gas station, and further along the road some space for cars to pull off. A few traffic lights slow down the cars.

It's not by any means a great spot, but... possible.

I waited with a sign a little longer than an hour (it was a bad time of the day, too... siesta time), and finally got a ride.

Once you get into the highway, there'll be an "area de servicio" (the first one soon, after maybe 15km), where you can find cars to other destinations, like Madrid, or Jerez, etc.

A place to get a ride direction north  (Santander). There's a gas station nearby, too.

There are two roads going up to Santander, following slightly different routes... both from this spot, and perhaps from the gas station, you'll find cars going up.

On a Sunday morning there was plenty of cars passing this spot, I had a sign to Santander, and in 10min got the first ride that took me some 30km up.

Can't say though if it's a good spot at anytime... it looks ok, not great but ok.

It's a warehouse and fields kind of area... not much there, but easy to reach walking out from Burgos. 

I came walking from little roads behind the castle hills, if you come along the main road, maybe there's other good spots before that.

Very good spot direction ZAGREB or even for south [Split]. You can walk here from Rijeka - it will be around 2 hours of trip but it worths because the small Croatian villages are really nice looking! Or you can take bus number 12 from Rijeka bus station Delta until the village Cevla. Then follow direction East and find the highpass which takes you to this petrol station! A Croatian truck driver took me to Zagreb after 30 minutes waiting time!

The place is good. We were standing beneath the bridge for a shade, the cars were slow and there was a place to stop.  But it depends where you are going. We wanted to go to south (Troyes), and waited 2 hours without any result. Meanwhile there were 3 cars which stopped and all of them were going to either Strasbourg or Metz, so if you wanna go eastwards, it is really good spot.

Ein guter Startpunkt, um von Victoria zum Juan de Fuca Trail zu kommen. Downtown in den Bus 50 einsteigen. Am Langford Exchange in die Linie 61 wechseln (meist bleibt es der selbe Bus) und bis zur Haltestelle Grant Road W at West Coast Road fahren. Dank BC Transit kostet das alles nur 2,50$. Da die Ansagen im Bus schlecht zu verstehen sind, lohnt es sich, dem Busfahrer zu sagen, dass man da hin will. Er wird euch dann direkt an der Ecke aussteigrn lassen, wodurch ihr euch ein paar Meter Fußmarsch spart.. Am Highway 14 sind die Fahrzeuge zwar schnell untrwegs und ihr steht in einer langen Kurve, aber es gibt genug Platz, um zu halten. Außerdem habt ihr ne tolle Aussicht.

Nice spot right before the gas station. Cars leave from Paderborn towards Münster passing Delbrück and Rheda-Wiedenbrück.

If you catch the morning traffic many cars drive to work and can putt you out at the petrol station Karlslunde. From there you can easily find someone going further!

Decided to get the train from nearby Pontypool & New Inn station to Newport, but thence found it difficult to get out of that city going East. However as a stance it is fairly good; you are visible to those at the traffic lights who can also pull in to the service station/McD complex.

Not most safe, but not most dangerous neither. Cars go quite slowly (speed limit there 50 km) and are careful to enter the highway. Not enough space for any truck, enough for passenger cars. It is as I know illegaly to stope there any car, but... ;-)

Slip road onto the A52 shortly before Breitscheid.
Cars drive from both directions on the highway, and on a Sunday afternoon it is a lot. 
There is enough space for a short stop to pick you up. 
This spot is good because you can choose between different directions: Frankfurt / Main, Dusseldorf, Essen, Duisburg and direction Netherlands and Belgium.

Very good spot for wild camping although there are a few passerbys every morning and evening (we didn't get any trouble in 3 days though). Also there is drinking water and showers at the lake. Check out the whole lake when staying here, it's definatly worth it. Especially the far side where there's less people and attractions!

I'm not exactly sure it was that spot, but this mark supposed to be for the place where you can go to walk to the salt. there are many people passing by, also for the lake, so it took 10 minute to get picked up. there is no shadow tho, and if it happens that you have to sleep around, better to go up to the hills, because by the side of the lake there were many-many big streetdogs appearing after sunset.

Last stop before the exit to Antwerp. Worthless spot. Nothing here so mostly trucks stopping to rest. Most cars were going North so it may be ok if you want to go that way. Almost nobody was going South however. Tried standing on the acces road with my sign but the cars can't really see you there. Tried asking and eventually found a car going to Antwerp. Had to wait, and ask, about 2 hours for this ride. Was lucky though, this was at about 9am so there was quite a lot of traffic.

We arrived in the late evening with 3 people and stood in a tent on a field behind a sound wall. Was nice to sleep. We might have got another lift but not all three at the time so we decided to start the next morning... So we did and we needed to wait around 15 minutes for a ride for all 3 of us.

I asked people that came from IKEA if they head to the city centre of Hannover. But most IKEA visitors are from around the area (e.g. Celle) and not directly from Hannover. (There is another bigger and more modern IKEA at Hannover-Messe where Hannover people would rather go to.)

Good place for catching a car on a bus station. There is a place for car to stop and upcoming drivers are not driving fast. It took me 15-20 minutes to get out of this village,

There is a little place for a car to stop but bigger problem is with the Greeks. Only one person stopped and has taken us to Florina after 2,5h of waiting in scorching sun. Bring plenty of water with yourself.

It's quite risky place for getting a ride but still it's worth it - especially if you are going to Macedonia. We took a ride to Bitola after 10 minutes of waiting. But be aware there is really small place for a car to pull over.

Possible to hick-hike up on the highway with cars comming from the roundabout. Not a lot of traffic and there's room for a car to stop.

Control stop for police, it has a gate but it was open so I got dropped of here and continued to hitch-hike from here. Cars are going fast, 100km/h, but they see you from far away.

This is a good spot for going south if you are not shy to ask drivers for a lift. Many long distance travellers stop here before leaving Darwin and a lot of them are easily dinstinguishable from local traffic. Also check the service station nearby. Try to go for a long ride (Katherine or further) if you want to cover some distance. Try to not get stuck in Katherine though - it is hard to get out. Noonamah service station is 20 km down the road but a lot worse then this spot so refuse lifts to there and try to find someone going further south. There is bus service from Palmerston to Coololinga but check the timetable well in advance.
