it was a good spot - within the conditions of Spain - we got picked up in 3 hours, what was our average anyway. although found also a sign left behind an other hitchhiker saying that the spot is fucked up, so you decide.

I agree coming off the M3 towards is a bad idea here, although there is a train station with no barriers and is hardly ever checked. good advice if stuck is heading to sunningdale and hopping the train at a late peak time. if towards reading there are no barriers at Early station, if towards london there are barriers at Clapham junction but at peak times these are almost always open.

I targeted this petrol station following advice from a Portuguese truck driver who picked me up in Italy. My goal was to skip hitchhiking through Spain altogether and get to Portugal from here. Above the petrol station there is a big truck parking with a lot of trucks going both directions. If you ask around, you could get lucky. Also, my advice would be to be friendly and accepting of their hospitality. It might take some effort to work up to it. They offered me drinks and food and I didn't say no to drinks (I wasn't hungry). I ended up with an arrangement to have a ride the next day all the way to Aveiro, Portugal. I took that as plan B and went down to the petrol station with a "Portugal" sign (and a beer in the other hand) and got a ride within 5 minutes to Castelo Branco, Portugal.

Good place to hitch from - generally a high flow of traffic, lots of driveways which people can pull off into (though all the lifts I've got, people just stop on the street!). I've hitched from here 3 times, and all three times they have been short lifts going to either the  roundabout before Ballachulish or to Glencoe village.

Around 3 minutes wait on a Saturday morning (10:00). 

Not the safest spot (still safe though), but very effective! 
As there already was a hh waiting to be picked up, I waited a bit further to not confuse the drivers with the different signs. 
She was picked up after 3 minutes. 
A guy directly came and posted himself on her spot... and was taken after 2 minutes. Then it was my turn :-) 

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

I was dropped at the toll just before the Spanish custom. I had to wait a long time there to continue my journey... You might prefer to be dropped at the gas station 2 km further.

I didn't find this spot very attractive for the "adventurous" hitchhiker. At all hours of the day, there exists a multitude of local hitchhikers trying to get a lift any (some 5km, some 50km) distance, and they all have money ready for the driver.  Most of these people are locals coming or going to work or women with shopping bags.  No cars stopped for me when I had a sign out .... and it seems that there are "organized" rides in some sketchy manner to get a few extra bucks for illegal "taxis."  I'd avoid this spot.  It's better to take a bus to the farthest "Metro Cash and Carry" market and hitch from there.

I share the opinion of Incogitatus. Tried it there with a sign, met there a romanian student, who wanted to go in the same direction. At least one big car stopped, but he wanted to have nearly the same money as a bus would had cost. So, there are some so called "sharks" who want to make money. But at least, 20 Lei for Oradea -> Cluj is still payable.

I must disagree with the former comments. We stood at this place, right in the city centre, at 9 PM in the evening, two guys with big backpacks. At least it's cool to see many people hitch-hiking, even for money. One driver didn't take us because he wanted money, another one was the "shark" that offered a ride to a festival by Cluj for 150 lei (boy, was that hilarious). And, after 15-20 minutes wait, a sportsy BMW stopped, the driver was a tatoo artist who spoke English and bought us dinner in the roadside restaurant. It might be just wild luck, but the spot is definitely not too bad, if you don't mind laughing at some "sharks" :)

Tried it again this year, already in the dark, in 2 mins got a direct ride to Cluj in a van that was going from Germany – the most important thing is just to explain you won't pay ("nu am bani") at the very beginning of the contact. The driver was, like "yeah, duh, of course you won't pay" :)

Definitely the best spot in Halle to hitchike East via A38, even though the spot is not perfect because you miss all cars comming from the North.

i wanted to go from west to east on a monday afternoon in summer. even though the rasthof and fuel station is accessible from both directions of the A4 most of the cars stopping there went from east to west - it's on the "wrong" side. some car-owners, who seemed to go east, spoke only polish and russian. this place is out in the sticks and it depressed me basically because i waited there for 1:30 hours. depressing was the decay of the former hotel there, now a fitness centre, the lonely old prostitute waiting for a job, the weathered former sex-shop, the fucked up local guys sitting there all day long on their plastic chairs. never again!

Roads have changed. This marker is now near a nice spot on the upper level at the end of the departure gates. There is a spot on the road just after this where people can stop or they often just stop right in the road as everyone is doing it to drop people off anyway. I have used successfully several times and often use Frankfurt Airport as a stopover point to get a new ride. No problems getting rides to Wiesbaden, Mainz, or east on the A3 during the day with 10minutes wating. Had trouble getting to Giessen at night.

Got a ride to Giessen on a Friday late morning with a sign for "Giessen - A5 nord". I think a sign is important here as traffic goes in many directions from here. If you have multiple people one of them can also ask people in person as they come and go from the gate.

The spot looked nice. Drivers can see you and they have the possiibility to stop. I had a sign saying K for Cologne. However after 2 hours waiting I got no ride and went by train. I guess most traffic was local or to the south

people can take you on the ferry "for free" as they pay per car and not per passenger. the danish and swedish cars are usually packed with beer and therefore don't have much space. make sure the people see you, as most of them are focusing on which terminal they should drive throu. be patient and wait, you'll get a ride :)

Got there in the morning and waited directly in front of the terminal with a sign for 'Copenhagen'. Not a single car stopped in three hours and the customs cops were making fun of me for around two hours. Not very funny actually. Then a truck driver convinced me that the cars would have to pay extra for me (which is NOT true!) So I bought a ticket and went to Denmark. There I found a driver after 1 h.

TIP: ask arriving passengers for the return-ticket, because ticket machine sells only two-ways tickets (have no idea why). If you'll not be successful you can by a ticket for children for redused price, nobody cares about it.

So, we were waiting here for an hour and a half without any result. We stood at the begging of the road to gates, i guess drivers at these moment only thought about what gate they have to choose, therefore they didn't stop. Maybe it's better to go futher right to the gates or conversely go back deeper to the island. Anyway good luck!

To reach this spot through the forest is a big experience itself! :] It was a f*cking big thunderstorm while I tried to get here, then when I managed to find it a I deeply cut my thumb with a sharp can so everything was in blood, the storm was still terrible... then I was just walking with a HH (Hamburg) sign in this big empty parking lot when the HEAVY RAIN started to "sing" again... and I was almost full wet in 10 seconds, then a miracle happened... and a car with a great palestin guy stopped and took me halfway to Hamburg...

I also waited for Ulm - 4 hours. In the end I should have taken Innsbruck, Salzburg or München, since I wanted to hitch to Berlin. Yes, I think the problem is the direction signs - it really confuses the drivers so they don't pay attention to you as much as they could somewhere else. My suggestion: ask them directly, if you end up here.

The direction signs shouldn't be a problem because as always the best way is to just ask people at the gas station or restaurant. For that it works reasonably well for direction Innsbruck, but of course it's difficult to filter cars going south/east from those going north.

Seems possible, but not that easy to find a ride here. For me it worked out after 1h when I got a sign by the help of the friendly gas station workers and placed myself a little before of the gas station where the cars pass which go on the motorway directly. Cars can not really stop there very well, but many more people will see where you want to go and may want to help out.

Sometimes all of us got a ride in the same car, and even when splitting in couples we arrived at the same time since the road network is limited (but excellent) and distances are short.

best deal in Nancy to head south or to Paris. Did it a hundred times. There are plenty of places to stop and people see you from far away because it's a straight line. From the city center, take the bus n°4 to reach Laxou

Take a bus to Wojanowo via jakdojade.pl 
Then don't reach toll station, just stay 30m before it. Cars are going slow already, and the toll-staff wouldn't disturb you. The card with "WAW" making really magical speed of lifting the car.

I got asked to leave before catching a ride. Drivers seem to be more serious and unfriendly than on national roads, barely making eye contact.
Toll staff didn't disturb me, but after 1h40, a road maintenance car stopped and told me politely that I had to leave. 10 mintues later, another car (with a much more serious employee) came to check if I had left.

Neither good nor bad place - there are traffic lights, holding cars for such a long time, and comfortable lawn to hitch just by the lane - but in fact it can be a problem to hitch if there is more than one person.

two guys waiting here over 90 mins on Monday about 13:30. we had a sign Brno, and in the end a friend stopped and took us to Brno. it should be a great spot, but somehow its not. Maybe inssead of the last bus station, it would be better to stand at the ramp. please comment your experience!

Although not legal, I don't think you'll see a cop car going by there anyhow. You could also stand just before the autobahn sign to argue with the cops. There is not a lot of space for cars to stop but still enough, and it's going straight to Munich. Use a sign.

Depends on day and time. I often had good luck (<10min), but one time it took 3 hours (Tuesday around 11 o clock). But many cars stop and ask, sometimes they go just too short destinations). Good if you want to go south. Friday afternoon/ evening and Sunday evening is quiet good.

Easiest place to hitch south of Oulu. There's little place to stop, but you'll catch cars coming from both west and east and the traffic lights slow them down a bit. Expect to wait 45-90min though. Officially you're not supposed to stand there, so if the police will ask you questions say that you walked thru the forest or didn't notice the signs.

I spent 3 hours trying to figure out where to find a spot to reach Bern in this area : the gas station just on the national road is only used by people from Lausanne, the spot after the gas station didn t work because they just arrive too quickly and go in small villages, as the other entrance on the motorway contains a panel written Hitchhiking Forbidden in 4 different languages, where cars can t stop, I guess the one I added is a good one

You can access this point by walking along the road that goes past the bus stop. There will be a bridge that crosses directly over the top, and you can see the entrance of the tunnel from the bridge.

We waited here for about 30 minutes in the middle of the day. There is a lot of traffic, but nowhere for cars to stop. We decided to move to a safer area.

Right before the entrance of the tunnel there is a good spot for cars to stop.

two details about how to reach the petrol station: exact name of bus stop is "Torino 315" (or few no. up or down) --- I stopped at "Torino" AND had to walk for 3 km to reach via Vermea :-

than, correct direction: get via Vermea, 100m on the left of the bus stop, go thru for 1 km approx, check on the left for Via Napoli, do not take the overpass but the small country road on the left --- you already see the petrol station from the beginning of via Napoli :-)
DO NOT TAKE VIA GOZZANO!!! they must have changed the street name disposition recently, it would take you on the wrong path --- from the beginning of via Gozzano I could see the petrol station on the opposite direction :-

following destinations:
25 km KRUPINA (KA) wonderfull up to 30 minutes a ride
90 km SAHY problematic, because not so much traffic, but up to 2 hr a ride (most of the time to budapest, beograd happened to me too)
VELKY KRTIS (VK) up to one hour, best spot is to stand on the road near the petrol station.

I dont really know how to place points in here, so I will paste the description of the hitching place here 


The place is a petrol station on a motorway. To get here go south from the city centre, i.e. when standing by Palacio de Gelo shopping centre take the street on your right, sloping downwards. You will pass the Jumbo petrol station, then Mercedes car salon, go further on. After half and hour of walking you will get to the big roundabout under the motorway bridge. Now the hard part, you need to walk alongside the motorway, but luckily for 5 mins only.  
I was hitching here twice, and for the first time I got the lift to Aveiro after waiting some 1,5h, then went on asking the people, found a man willing to take me up. The second time I was going to Coimbra, and waited for half an hour when the guy gave me a lift.

One of the guy who work at the gazstation is very very nice. His name is Hugo, I hope you will meet him. We spent 3 hours together, in middle of the night, talking about stories, waiting for my drive. Awesome time.

A good spot for hitching south to Aveiro/Lisbon/Algarve. To get here you need to take the metro D line and get off at the Dom Joao II station ( as for September 2010 it was the last stop, but they were making the line longer at the time). Once on the street, go further in the direction you were going in the tram, after 10 mins you will get to the roundabout which leads directly down to the motorway. We ( 1 guy and 1 girl) were waiting here with the sign Aveiro/Viseu, waited for half an hour only. There is enough space for the cars to pull over, and they are going quite slow, most of them were looking me directly in the eyes.

don't think it's a good place. from here you can walk down just like the cars do until the on-ramp to the highway direction lisbon (forbidden to walk there, but i never had trouble). the ramp seems like a good place, but i rarely had any luck there neither. if you don't get a lift you can also walk from the on-ramp (when the on-ramp turns left get out to the street next to it) to the the gas station 1km further down.

I think it is a good spot for poeople going north (direction Villa Real/ Viseu), even though I was waiting for 1,5h here. To get here go north from the Old Town going by Avenida Fernao de Magalhaes, pass by the train station and bus station, then walk some 5 mins more in the same direction, just following the signs "Viseu". I was standing just after the sign "motorway", on the right side of the road.

1 direct drive to Porto in 15mn !

Cars drive quite slowly, place to park, and a bit of straight between the 2 turns. The only problem they can't see you from far away. Pass away the interdiction for pedestrian people and after 10m be creative to pay attention of drivers.

For me, some huge hello! with my sign Porto and it worked very good. :)

I will write this on the very beginning, for the warning of the future hitchhikers- this place is hopeless, I was waiting here for an hour on one day (before the sun went down) and then for sth like 5 hours the next day. The drivers here are circulating around Lisbon only, there is nobody going further north in the direction of Leiria... 
But just in case somebody would feel like having adventure, to get here you must take the Green metro line to Campo Grande, then change for a bus 36 towards Odivelas. Get off at Cç. Carriche / Estr. Desvio bus stop, then go for 2 minutes, you will reach Galp petrol station...

We were standing here by three people, guys only, probably thats why people were not stopping, but the place was hopeless, we were hitching for a whole day, 6 hours non- stop, not a single soul pulled over.

Got a hike after some 2 hours, probably because there were three of us. Not a bad place, the traffic was high and cars driving REALLY SLOW (works on the road). we were waiting in front of a small petrol station, trying to get to Vienna. To get here you need to take the tram from the train station (cant recall the number, but there is a map of the city over there), then once we got off (tram stopped few stops before the last one because of the road works) we trodded for some 15 mins and took a suburban bus ( the stop being just after the big shopping centre and petrol station). Then we got off and walked some 10 mins more and found this small petrol station.

Waiting on the lay-bay is prohibited (as I was informed by the Customs officer) so one can always catch a hike at the entry to the motorway. Waited there for about 45 mins with a sign towards Koszalin and Gdansk. To get here, take one of the following busses (G- the expensive one, 79, 73Z- the cheaper ones), walk for 5 mins in the direction of your bus, cross the bridge.

A legendary place, every single local knows about it. The hitchhikers are waiting at this spot for 30 years right now, the best place to catch a hike to Slupsk. You can take a bus to get here, but who is taking a bus in a town as small as this one? You will wait for 20 mins max to catch a car here.  It is a bus stop with a sand pull-over, just stand with your thumb up, 95% of the people here are going to Slupsk.

A perfect spot for those going westwards towards Slupsk and Szczecin ( eastwards towards Gdansk as well I suppose, you can go hitching at the traffic lights on the opposite side of the road) Basically, there is a petrol station here, trafic lights and a wide lay- by for the cars to stop, so you can choose your favourite way of hitchhiking. No more waiting than 30 mins.

Hitch hiking east from this road is horrible. It might also be your best option for leaving Szeged to the east. Moral: don't stop in Szeged.

I ended up waiting a total of 5 hours to take about 4 rides trying to get from Szeged to Nadlac. There is near-zero traffic from Szeged going east (on any road) and standing on the M43 probably won't work as traffic is too fast so your best option is to start walking down this road.

If you weren't lucky with finding a car to switch to on the Channel Tunnel, then this is probably your only other choice. The goodness of this choice depends on your direction, I think if you are heading south/west, then this is a decent spot, but few cars stop at this station and even fewer cars go to Belgium, so I was stuck here for 2 hours.

Yesterday I had a very good luck hitchhiking there. After 20 mins I was taken by a Dutch couple who were going as far as to Enschede! (I needed to get to Antwerp and they dropped me there without a problem). However, that's true that most of the cars with Belgian plates just bypass this station which reduces your chances significantly. Anyway if you are lucky enough, this place can be a surprisingly good spot!

You have to get the bus from Rijeka to Zagreb from the main bus station. But do say to the driver to drop you off in the paytolls. Just offer him about 15 or 20 kn.

Great spots with four lanes full of rides to choose from. It's a bit tricky to get there though. An option that worked for us was to take the bus number 12 from the Delta bus lot to a small town called Cavle. From there we took the bus number 15A that dropped us off near the tollbooths. The bus has a long route before it arrives at your stop so you will have to go with it for half an hour or so. Just make sure to ask him to drop you off near the tollbooths, he will know.

If you're going South, standing near the petrol station here works quite well. However, there are some handy places to stand near bus stops and the like where cars can pull in further into the city, near the racecourse, and if you stand there instead you'll usually get a lift out of town in less time than it would take you to walk to the outskirts.

It's very likely that the driver will wait until he get he's car full of hitchhikers.
So don't put youre bags inside his car even if he asking for. Because there is may be another car that is going sooner becuase he's needing fewer peoples to fill up his car. And it's good idea to have Romanian Lei instead of Euro. End and in small banknotes.And to make ready the amount of money you want to give to driver in you're pocket, so he don't see how much money you have in all

Well, it's not entirely true the things you've written here. Maybe it changed. Truck drivers don't want to pick you up there. Even the turkish ones. They are really friendly, but unable to speak english and german, so after a time I've understood the problem. On the border RO/BG there is a "bridge problem" and trucks stay in very, very, very long traffic jam, you'll have to walk there like 15kms, so truck drivers recommend you to try to catch cars, I got really stuck there. I slept there, on the next day some gypsies gave me a lift, but I was scared of them so I walk out of car when the trucks jam began and I walked it on foot anyway.

Literally after building the Nord Autobahn this is one of the best places to hike out from Vienna. Get in train to Wolkensdorf, and then just hold the sign while walking from train station to this place. It's enough just to get a little lift to the huge petrol station located about 4km from this spot.

When I was going from CZ to Vienna, I always wondered what this spot is like. Yesterday I finally stopped here on the way to CZ and here's my comment: I was standing at the roundabout and was surprised that more cars are going towards Vienna than CZ/Poland. Anyway after 30 mins a guy strangely stopped in the middle of the roundabout to check something and when I showed him my CZ sign he took me. I think it is worth stopping here when going from CZ somewhere faraway from Vienna. There were lots of cars going south.

I think I just had bad luck on that day but I was rottening here for nearly 4 damned hours... Lots of Krakow cars and some local slovakian cars, but did not want to stop. And there was an extreme thunderbolt and haild for 1 hours, crazy. After that I caught a Hungarian car (I am Hungarian as well) with a flag... That was the moment of saving my life! :D

Hitchhiked here with my girlfriend to Zagreb. Before that, we were forced by police go away from the perfect hh spot near Belgrade to a nearby petrol station with almost no traffic. After 1 hour of waiting, we accepted a ride to the Sremska Mitrovica pay-tolls. Almost everyone was going in direction to Bekgrade, and those few going to our direction didn't want to pick us up. So after 2 hours, we decided to hitchhike back to the Belgrade pay-tolls, from where policed moved away meanwhile, so we found a ride to the croatian border immediately.

Very easy if you hitchhike about 50 meters from the traffic circle (rond-point) because there is enough place for cars to stop. Don't go to close to the toll station (péage), cars go pretty fast after the traffic circle. We get a car that was going to Châlon-sur-Saône within 5 minutes!

This curve is after the traffic light, so people are still at a relatively slow speed to stop. HOWEVER, avoid Sundays! Took an hour to get picked up. Most traffic is just locals heading back to their villages and not very far outside of Thurso.

i used this spot 4 times, always managed to get to my beautiful Lisbon in the same day. it can take a loooong time to find a ride, but it will work. start early:) you can easily hitch to a next repsol gas station only 2 km further, which is not much better though. for supplies: at the exit of the alto de extremadura metro station there's a fruit/veggies shop that throws away loads of nice food around 9pm. close by there a bakery that can give you nice old bread,croissants...

This is an international trucking stop so you can go al,ost anywhere in europe in a single hitch if you have the patience, also it is right next to the port.

To get to the place use tam linie 17 till the end station. There´s an interspar supermarket were you can get yourselfe some cardboard  for signs. To get to the road you just have to walk to through some grass. We got a lift for two persons after waiting 30 minutes with a sign into direction brno. It seems to be a lot of regional taffic but if you´ve got some time itś a good place because the cars are able to stop in the gras beside the road. Good luck

I tried this spot to get an hike towards cologne using the A3 and stood there for more than one hour.. afterwards I drove by train to Limburg to the gasstation and got the hike within five minutes.
The spot has really a lot of travel, you haven't time to rest your arm for more than 10 seconds, But most of the cars are driving to locals like Mainz, Frankfurt or to the airport.. But maybe I just had bad luck

I was around that gas station there trice. Once it took over one hour, another time just 40 min. but on a rainy sunday there was no car at all and I took the train (wich is not bad on a sunday because in GER there are weekendtickets for regional trains and you can ask for space on the ticket. It`s called surfing as i know :)

perfect, gas station, big buslane for cars to stop, cars come from two directions, there are trafficlights, so people don't drive so fast - it took me 10 minutes and i had two offers (to frankfurt airport and frankfurt).

Awesome view, but the cars are still pretty fast and a lot of lorries block 'your' lane most of the time, so the cars on the other lanes can't see you or pull over. Also a lot of nasty exhaust fumes, because the hill is quite steep.

You won't get a ride straight to Brighton, you have to go over London.

They completely changed the on-ramp (works finished at the end of 2013), and it's even worse now. I thinks it's a good idea to try to get a ride elsewhere, like at the traffic lights just before the new bridge, if you're coming from Geel.

Very good spot going to West (Normandie or Bretagne) or East (Paris)!! Big toll station, very busy every time! It's very fast to find a lift from here! a little bit of walk to rich it or from another lift! From here I really advise to don't write on your board any intermediary destination, you can write long distance directly because a lot of traffic and most of the people are going far away!!!

I don't remember the name of the bus stop but it is the one directly after Prokocim and I didn't arrive to the spot until just after 1pm, waited for less then 10 seconds with a sign that said LWOW and got a ride directly there!  I don't know if I was just extremely lucky but that spot was perfect because cars are going slow due to the traffic light and they can pull right over to the bus stop.  Advice: If you are stuck at the Polish/Ukraine border just get out and go to the next car!

I stood there 20minuts till a polish driver picked me up and drove me directly to Pszczyna (South Poland, between Bielsko-Biala and Katowice), so that I think, that this spot can't be very bad. The bus stop is perfet to stop, but probably many drivers see the hitchhikers too late, although they are not too fast. Nevertheless, it is possible to get a lift directly to Poland, cause every 10th car was a polish car (or I just was lucky).

Stood there on Saturday afternoon in April 2014 for 1h12min. Not too many cars, I guess there are many who can't afford the highway (3000Ft for 10 days) so they take the country road. About half the cars are full with people or stuff. Another big group are rich or old people who are less likely to take you. If you do get a ride it's probably very quick to get to BP. For quite a while there are no gas stations, so if they don't go all the way, make sure you'll know if they can drop you at a gas station or you'll stand on a ramp again :)

there's only the traffic from the ferry, so if you don't get a ride from one, expect one-one and a half hour waiting. or you can be lucky with a wandering driver.

Very very low traffic, cars must stop on the on-ramp and block it for a while, but they go very slow after they turn and have a lot of time to decide if they wanna take you. Waited one evening about one hour, then decided to go to see the sea instead and tried the next day, waited about 15 min and got a ride to Tallinn.

It took us a while to get a lift south. First we were standing at the exit to the rest spot, which contained both north and south bound cars.

After a while, we moved to the motorway entrance, which was more targeted to the direction we wanted to travel.

Two cars stopped and we got a lift with the second car. I think he saw us from the other side of the road, as he was leaving the rest house.

I think it's a very good place. There is a gas station and a traffic light too. We get a lift from here until Pocitelj, but to the seeside also not so hard, or driver went there. We waited here 5 min. 
You can go here on foot, or with bus to, with bus 10. If this place not good, go back to Marsala Tita street and get the bus 6 until the city bord.

Reasonable spot to go north. Hitchwiki Paris describes how to get here by train. Try to get a lift to the fuel station (e.g. from train station Survilliers-Fosses) and at all cost avoid going here by foot on the eastern side of the highway. There's no street and lots of mud. Believe me ;)

A good spot. It takes about 25 minutes to walk here from Survilliers-Fosses station, so it might be worth trying to get a lift southbound to the services and then go through the tunnel (ref earlier post, I haven't seen the tunnel myself). 1000 times better than trying to hitch out of Paris.

It depends where you want to go and also time you're trying it here. I was asking for a ride north, towards Helsingborg, there were just lot of German / Austrian cars  going north, but filled with baggage thus unable to take me, lot of unfriendly locals, but lot of people going towards Copenhagen. So if you're heading  to Denmark, this could be a quite good spot. Up to north not at all.

The place is indeed perfect, just that I was somehow unlucky. End of October 2015 I stood here for 4.5 hours (!) and then when I finally decided to go back to Prague (it got dark), the last car picked me up and brought me to Brno.

There were other h-hikers there, so it's true that this must be the best stop. A couple who were going to Brno said they were waiting for 1.5 hour, some nice guy got picked up to Česke Budejovice just before me, and he stayed there for 3 hours...

So yes, the spot is perfect, just some days and some people are not as lucky :/

It's a really good spot. You can get here by getting a ride from Cluj to Gilau, just tell the driver to drop you when you see the highway entrance. If you walk under the bridge, you can get on the other side of the truck stop, which is right next to EVW.

Not a big amount of traffic on this gas station, but it's definitely a good place to hitch rides direction Algarve. If by any chance you start your trip in Setúbal,it's worth the effort getting to this station (around 6 km walking or by bus to Palmela and then ~2km). Only a small fence separates the road you take from the station.

Arrived 20.12.2017. Basically all local traffic towards Setubal or south. Not a lot traffic on a Wednesday afternoon. Senseless to go East towards Spain. Better stay at previous one closer to Lisbon if heading Spain. In my opinion if you're heading south you might get a chance here, although most of the traffic just head to Setabul or around.

Theoritically it`s possible for cars to stop there, but the visibiliy is bad, and cars like to speed there, and it felt also a bit dangerous because cars like to cut the corner and they drive very close. It`s better to ask in petrol station to hitchhike to Köln.

Sometimes they stop in here very quick for you, but most of the time they're going just to cities nearby. I'm starting to think that it's better to don't be "picky" refusing rides to next cities, because generally you refuse them and you have to wait a looooot more until someone stop for you going to a further city.

I used this spot several times going to direction Hanover (Berlin, Leipzig) and direction Paderborn, Kassel (Weimar and Munich). Most times I had to ask around for less than 30 minutes, one time I had to ask (and thumb) almost 2 hours.. There's few cars only stopping to fuel up, it might help to have a sign and stand at the street when there's no car in the station.

It's a busy station but somewhy for us it was hard to get a lift to Germany. I think one reason can be that the sign of the motorway exit to this station is together with the Salzburg exit so many drivers going to Germany think that from this station they can't get back to the highway so they don't stop. Other possible reason: Saturday. 2 persons (me and my girlfriend), 1h50m

It probably would have been easier to get dropped off at the gas station on the ring road then ride the s-bahn from Vaterstetten.

After 3 hours we decided to hitch into Munich centre and get to the beginning of A8 highway by public transport, which is straight way th Stuttgart. It was a good idea! 2 persons (me and my girlfriend), Saturday, 3h

Seemed to be a good idea but got stuck here for 3+ hours... Maybe it was just the wrong day to try (2nd Sept) but I see a couple of problems with this place if you are going north.

- even though it is a big service area, Spaniards coming from Spain would have already stopped at La Jonquera that vastly reduces your chances
- the truck parking lot is a 5 minute walk from the station itself which makes it impossible to cruise around both trucks and cars asking for a ride
- the petrol station has two exits, so if you are a cardboard guy, you have to back off beyond the roundabout where the two roads merge. Again, drivers are already prepared mentally to drive away by then so you'll need quite some luck to stop them
- you may try the very highway entrance close to the truck parking but there is no shadow and cars are already going at a decent speed

Long story short, get dropped off at La Jonquera instead!

In my opinion its much better. To walk from Żito bus stop forward 100 meters and turn right, you will see another bus stop (one after the Żito -dont remember the name). I think this place is better because - the road goes strightly to highway. traffic is bigger (cars come from one more side) and there is only one line on the road. :)

I was asking the people turning left on the A19 to Berlin to get a ride. Most of them stay close to Rostock so it's hard to get to the next gas station. And the next won't isn't busy at all, so it might be better to get someone getting you further than that!

No point in hitching here before 9, and from then about 100 trucks are coming continuously for at least 3 hours, maybe more.

Note that most trucks are Lithuanian, I was waiting here with a LV/EST sign for 2 hours. Then I changed the sign to Siauliai/Panevezys and got picked in 10 minutes. Learn from my mistake :)

The transport center is really just on the side of the highway going north, though there is access to cars also going south, but there are gas stations nearby as well.

people driving north will have to disturb the traffic to pick you, what may be a problem and explain why we had to wait more than one hour. 
Anyway on that spot you are hitchiking in the good direction and in a safe place close to a bus stop.

Not perfect but quite a good place anyway

It was on the 24th July 2010
After 4.5 hours of walking (getting lost in small streets), I was warned by a service operator that
The toll is forbidden for hitchhikers, and one of the girls told him to get my ass out of here. He suggested me to continue my way by going south on the national road, bad idea either. I had to throw my bag above the fence (2.3 meters or so) and my french id card was checked by two police motocycles one hour after at another spot (just at an entrance to the national road)

This spot has all the elements that make it a very good spot. Multiple places for drivers to pull over, it's in front of the traffic light, has a place that can be used to keep your stuff safe and dry.

The only disadvantage is the fact that it takes a long time to reach by foot. I recommend everyone to take the city bus 16A, something we didn't do.

The place is not golden, but it is hard to get out of Ljubljana in this direction anyway... Waited for two hours at the end of the tunnel, a cop passed by in a car and showed me gestures that should be interpreted as "are you fucking mad?" I was about to leave the place and go back to the bus stop, but then a taxi stopped for me and took me to the gas station close to Kranj. Talked myself out of paying :) All in all, this place is more dangerous because of the cops, but more relevant than the bus stop.

Very good place, a lot of traffic; not a fixed position, you can try to go up and down the street and find the suitable spot depending on where cars are parked, etc. Public transportation has a stop at the crossroad on the left with Str Abatorului/Carantinei, and it's also the place where Maxi Taxi to Galati depart from. Sometimes Maxi Taxi drivers say it's not allowed to hitchhike there (it's not good for their business :) ). Don't mind them and go further on the street. It's not really worth paying from here to Galati, it's easy to find a free ride.

My experience was terrible. I've spent more than three hours near the McDonalds. I had a sign for Hannover and Germany in general. Finally had to talk to drivers and got a lift to Munster, which was not quite right for me. Wouldn't recommend the spot...

We tried to get a ride to France from here but it turned out to be very difficult. There were a few people going this way but they didn't take us (a girl and me). The problem is that if you wanna go to France you need someone who's going directly since there is no gas station before people turn from the A5 to Switzerland towards Mulhouse. So what we did was taking a ride to the north until the second gas station near Appenweiher. There you can easily switch to the other side of the highway just crossing a bridge. We found a ride immediately to France and made it until Marseille at the same day.

Mostly locals and very little traffic. With a bit of luck you find somebody going to Hamburg. If you are coming from Puttgarden and are heading further south its probably better to get off in the first gas station after the ferry (Großenbrode) or change cars before/on the ferry than standing here. Probably the worst motorway resting area I ever experienced in Germany.

I'd rate this place as average. You can get shelter from the elements under the canopy of the gas station. The downside is that this gas station is used by locals a lot, so a small amount of them go outside the city. Still, Petrom is the most popular gas chain, and most cars travelling long distances will fuel here.

Waiting time: 5min (asked driver)

It was quite a walk from the tram station (Butini), maybe 30min. On the way, there are loads of traffic lights and the road is going straight to the highway. I think there are very good possibilities to get a ride if you have a sign and try from one of the traffic lights. However, the gas station worked very well, I asked a first driver and he drove me past Lausanne. (Was going to Luzern).

If you have no luck, try the nearby petrol station (Alsfeld). It has a Autogas, so many cars from the Autobahn stop specifically at this Petrol station and then continue further on the A5. ~Lukas

Even if it's the best landerne spot, it will probably take you between 15min to one hour to leave. My maximum waiting time was about 2 hours (2 guys hitchhiking). Still not understand why we had to wait such a long time !

So we just stood next to a car with registration plate PG and they took us.

i think this is a very bad and actually even dangerous spot for hitchhiking. it is not a normal ramp leading TO the motorway, it is a part OF the motorway with 2 lanes. cars were at about 80km/h or more and had no chance to stop because the spot where they would have to park is ridiculously tiny. maybe 10m only on length, not more. if they had tried, i fear it would have been very dangerous. several cars honked when they saw us, i think it is because they wanted to signal we should leave from there. check google earth if in doubt, it is easy to see that the spot is way too small. some apparantly hitchhiked from there, but we considered it for 5mins and went to pont de la maye instead.

First I tried to talk to people at the supermarket parking lot but most are locals. I got some cardboard there, made a Ljubljana sign and waited a bit down the road where there is plenty of space for cars to pull over. After 5 minutes a car stopped that was going to Zagreb. I was there on a Tuesday morning/noon.

I think we were lucky because we got a straight lift from here to Kaunas in only 10 mins and there wasn't too much traffic at 6 or 7pm. Anyway I think it's better to take a bus from Riga to Bauska (2,15LVL) because to my experiences it's easier to get rides from smaller cities.

It was on the last day of the year, the place was totally empty, BUT luckily I managed to hitch a milk truck towards Hungary, Nagykanizsa. :) I think if the traffic on the motorway is not so busy (as in my case), it is totally okay to hitchhike on the borderline of the parking place and the motorway, it is not dangerous. Good luck!

It can be the perfect spot to reach bucharest easily if you're there between 17h and 20h. Go to the petrol station and ask truck drivers. Lots of them are going to bucharest overnight and they take easily, plus you can sleep in the truck.

This seems to be very good place, but only if you are heading south, not many cars are going north. We had to spend night there and then hitchike for next three hours to get a ride at least in A1 directin. We were three, then two, but I only managed to get ride when I was alone, cars were usually completely full and all trucks were heading south.

I tried getting a lift to france here and at other spots around the harbour for two days without success, giving up and taking a bus to Barcelona in the end (If you go with Alsa and have a used ticket of the ferry, which you can get by asking people at the exit of the main building, you get a 20% discount). There are some cars going to France and further but they are mostly full or where not willing to take me. There are some trucks exiting here as well. This seems like the best spot, it is well lit so you can try your luck here at night as well. Traffic comes in waves with the ferries, so you have periods without traffic which gives you time to rest. I tried along the road towards the bridge as well and behind the bridge, but this was the most comfortable spot.

If you walk on 20m around the corner, you can stand at the beginning of the slip road where there is a wide hard shoulder where cars can stop safely. Another advantage is that you also get the traffic turning onto the slip road from the other direction of route de crissier. I waited 20mins and got a lift to the first service station at bavois. The only fly in the ointment is that by walking that extra 20m, you will be technically hitching illegally as it is past the motorway sign which stands 'just under the bridge'.

So I moved a bit down the road TOWARDS THE CITY CENTER. Where AVENIDA DE LA EXPO joins Autovia del Ebro cars are slowed down right after the curve by the PEDESTRIANS TRAFFIC LIGHTS crossing Av del Ebro to the train station.

From there I got a ride all the way to Bilbao after aprxtly 2.5h.

Northbound: Quite a nice spot. The 'Autoroute' sign is a few hundred metres from the junction, so you can legally hitch here. There is space for a car to pull over whilst leaving room for passing traffic. Café by junction (opening times unconfirmed). I have hitched many times from here. Best lift took me to a Metro station in Paris. All traffic is at least going North. N145 is a busy-ish East West road.

The spot is super great to go to Belgium through either Eindhoven or Breda. Lot's of cars passing through.

A good spot for rides north direction Hamburg. Get with the tram to "Alter Flughafen" from there follow the road north. There are plenty of spots a long the street where cars could stop easily and even a petrol station where you could ask directly. I and my girlfriend stayed with a sign HH (Hamburg) just 5 minutes and got a ride to the petrol station "Allertal" at the A7. From there it is super easy to go to Hamburg.

Not a good spot, maybe one car every 5-10 min.

I disagree. This service area seems to be dying out, as there is a SA with a McDonalds just before and another with Burger King some kilometers East, while this has none of these. I'd rather avoid this place, not too much traffic. Still hitchable as an average service area in Germany but I guess this place won't have a bright future.

We (2 peepz) tried hitchhiking on the split of the road directly after the bridge, there is a traffic light, but we didn't manage to get a ride for two hours. Thought about people could stop on the bus line, not sure if that was obvious for them. Also because of the traffic light buses stopped in front of us and you don't really get seen. Local pep recommended the spot (while waiting more outside Sevilla), guess you need more luck. :)

I've hitchhiked numerous times from this location, it is very good, you can go to Constanta, Drajna, Slobozia, Galati etc., I've never waited more than 45 minutes, there is traffic even in early morning, evening etc. It's within city so cars don't go too fast, enough room for them to see you and stop. Only downside is that many cars just come to fuel and go back in the city or just go to the roundabout. You can also try the next point marked, after the roundabout.

Because of the lay-out of the station's exit and the quite low traffic on the highway it's also possible to try cars on the highway in a way that it's not dangerous for yourself and police won't bother you cause you are still on the station. Just stand at the end and try, we did and got a ride after just 20min :)

If you want to go to Serbia, it will be difficult. This place is perfect for Romanians. They just have to stop here if they are going somewhere far, because after crossing Romanian border there is literally no gas station on the highway xD
I stood there 2 hours with my girlfriend, 3 drivers stopped in total. And well we had sign Bucaresti... First one was going only to Arad so we didn't want to get stuck there, I mean it was too close for us. Another one was going somewhere near border too, they were all unable to speak german or english. Finally Romanian guy was going to Galacz and gave us a lift to the mountains near Sybin.

If you're going to Serbia, maybe it's better to start right away hitchhiking on the highway. Most of the cars are going east anyway. I was asking everyone who stopped here and after half an hour I went to the highway. Surprisingly, a guy from the gas station came to the highway and told he will give me a lift, so probably if I stayed on the gas station I would get a lift from them as well. Anyway, next time I'll try to avoid this station (when going to Serbia only)

Good place to go towards north (Milano) or south (Florence) on the A1. IMPORTANT: If you press the button of the pedestrian-crossing light right at the intersection, ALL cars for your direction will IMMEDIATELY stop in front of you. That will help you a lot.

To get to the place you can probably get a bus to the intersection of Emilia Ponente / Viale Sandro Pertini.

Don't fully agree to what above me said. This only applies when you don't have a lot of luggage as the traffic light is only red for about 25 seconds (which isn't a lot).

Then for Florence cars can't pull over to the right very well as they gotta go straight in general.

I still got away after about 90 minutes, but it was quite dangerous.

Arrived late afternoon.  Nobody going to Krakow or wanting to pick me up.  I waited around six hours.  Perhaps in daylight it would have been more profitable.

most people going to Katowice or Wroclaw, my recommendation is to take the first ride towards Poland to the BP service station in Poland (about 35 km), much easier to find rides there

You can't cross the border on foot here so it's worth trying to ask drivers but in summer the majority of cars are full as people go on vacations with their families.

No where to pullover, most people are speeding off at this point in the road. Much better to go close to town, after the stop light.

Good spot to Bratislava. I waited 15 min. Maybe I had lucky, but is good spot, space to stop and close to the city.

Not very good spot to Bratislava, because we were waiting there for 45 minutes but no sign of stopping. I also prefer some another place.

It's quite hard hitch-hike in here. There are lots of local car if you go there afternoon. Maybe you have luck if you go there morning. I don't know a better spot in order to leave Budapest towards south. There are trains for 15 Eur to Beograd. This could be a choise to leave Budapest. Otherwise, all about luck. Good luck!

I'm living in emmen and always starting my hitchhiking trip to the south from here, I normally have to wait a maximum of 15 minutes but usually one of the first cars pick me up. Normally I refuse cars that don't go as far as zwolle, because this is my favourite spot on this track and it's easy to find one.

standing next to the traffic lights is no good option... go a few meters down rheinstrasse to make the drivers see you.

The stop bay is a perfect place to get picked up for the A5 north and south. I always get rides in about 5 minutes. But you're unlucky when the stop bay is full - mostly there is space though.

I always wait for a while on the exit and if it doesn't work, I start to ask people. It was a sunny day on the eastern holiday. There were more cars than I thought it would be. It took me 20 min waiting with the thumb up, but I gave up and started to ask people. After more 10 min I got a ride

The Shell petrol station is really clean to wash up if you need to.

For some reason locals never stop, and don't give reactions. Just keep walking and stick up your thumb and sign if a car comes along! 
There is always somebody who will also go to Taizé, and takes you.

We got a lift only to Aosta. It may be wise to wait for a car going far since here you get mostly long-distance traffic.

Much better spot at the next hairpin by the toilets, drivers get to see signs for the toilets and know there's a spot to pull over, and it's a long lay by. Got a ride in 5 minutes from there. This one has probably changed since it was posted, it now has a barrier going most of the way making it hard to pull over here and CCTV which might also dissuade drivers.

We made two big signs from pizza boxes, first dir. Milano, then also (CH) but no one stopped for a long time even though there was enough space and I guess everybody could clearly see us.
