If you avoid the mini busses, you can get on a ride within 10 minutes, and Tekirdag city is a bridge between Istanbul and Greece. I always use that city center spot and it is quite good

Easy to find a vehicle to north direction (Çanakkale way) especially in summer. Not bad with north-east (manisa exit) also. A bit more complicated to south since there are many options but with the right starting point and right changes at central junctions you will do ;)

Mostly trucks, yes. But if you walk for 20 (or so) minutes you pass the first village and you might catch a ride with a local car going to Dogubayazit. Maybe it's a good idea to make the money issue clear before you get in a car, as some cars might be taxis...

You have to be prepared for the fact that most of the drivers will ask you to pay for the 'favour', but if you will wait long enough eventually you will catch a free ride.

To go east (to Chengis Khan Statue or to the cities in the east) take the bus #27 and get off at the last stop. You will end up in a town and there is a gate (checkpoint). Go past this gate and start hitchhiking. It's one of the easiest places in the world.

There is written that there are buses #84 and #64, but you can take any bus to Digomi district or Zahesi district or you can use metro to Didube station and from bus station take bus to agricultural university. I start hitch-hiking after Gldani turn (there is long bridge, so you will see it). after there is several turns but in most of cases drivers are keeping the main road.

Don't think this is a good spot for hitching towards Istanbul. You are right on the highway (not straight here either!) and cars go very fast. It seems most cars are just using the ring road, but not leaving town. I had three different lifts just to get towards the toll station. Very tricky. It's probably better starting in Susuz (north of Ankara) - but couldn't find information on how to get there. Btw: the dolmuş to "Yaşamkent" (45 minutes at least) leaves from the west side of Güvenpark, which is close to Kizilay metro station. Couldn't find bus 123, which is mentioned on the Ankara page.

Don't think it's because of the place in particular, but on motorway or ringroads in Turkey, people stop straight away when they see you and you go very very fast even if you change care every 5 or 10 minutes. It proved right again this time at this spot.

The guy wasnt even going till the next gas station but took us all the way there despite the HIGH gas prices in turkey.

If noone picks you up at this spot after a long time, walk back to the border and try there.

In hitchwiki.org is said that you can start hitchhiking in the middle of the bridge after the little house... From my experience cars will not pick you up because they still have to pass by the immigration check point in the Malaysian side.

The best thing to do is to continue walking after the bridge in the cars path (there is different paths for different types of vehicle). It's a kind of speedway, so be careful and stay close to the tab. You may see some locals doing the same.

In the Malaysian side you just have to ask where is the immigration for people that walking (is the same for people that come in tour buses).

After stamping your passport you just have to get out of the border basement and start hitchhiking near the cars exit

Not a great spot. You might want to walk a bit in the direction you want to  go (West, North or South) before you start hitching. Selcuk is a small town so a 10-minute walk will get you to a safer spot out of town where there's a higher chance to be picked up.

This is a great spot if you are going north towards Manisa and Istanbul. To get here get off at "Evka-3" station (last station of Izmir metro line) and start hitching at the gas station. There are many university students who commute between Izmir and Manisa this way and it's a usual spot for people to pick you up.

This spot is placed in a weird location on the map, but it sounds like it's the same one where I've been hitchhiking. There was a gas station and traffic lights, I hitchhiked there a bit after 6pm in November so it was already dark - the first truck to pass by stopped, but driver didn't see me coming to him and drove away. Second truck to pass by stopped as well, and then I was taken to Göcek but the trucker himself was heading all the way to Antalya.

Going east might be different, but if you're going west there's really no good place to stand or for cars to stop. There's decent traffic, so it's doable, but I wouldn't recommend it if you can help it.

I went here again. This time the gate was closed and pretty solidly locked.
If you go over to the other side of the highway and walk up the side there's another gate that's much more private (the other one is outside a hospital) you can jump over. Alternatively, further down the other side there's some weird garden feature that connects directly to the parking area but is surrounded with lots of trees and bushes - presumably you could jump the fence there easier, though it's further to walk to.

Just right after the roundabout it might be possible, but there are also many taxis and buses stopping. Better walk a couple of hundred meters to a traffic light. Hitch right after it, where there is enough space to stop for cars. Beware: this road is incredibly busy, and besides right after the roundabout or this traffic light there's no (i.e. zero) space for cars to stop. But don't worry, this is Iran and your "savior" is out there. I waited only 5 minutes but feared that I would have to wait for a long, long time. Not the best spot in my opinion - so take any car that gives you a lift...

Except for the empty and abandoned building, the police checkpoint doesn't exist anymore (August 2014). But at least you can still sit there in the shade of the building's walls and wait for a ride (that will come at one point - be optimistic!). BTW: The spot is a 30 minute walk from the bridge in Murghab. I had to wait three hours for the first(!) car to pass, which brought me to Alichur. There I had luck with a Chinese truck (waiting time maybe 30 minutes), which drove all the way to the truck terminal 20 kilometers away from Khorog. There, hitching further is no problem any more.

it's a fairly small PA - there's a direct bus to it from Takayama (run by JR and departs from the central station) for about 500 yen... getting there is a little tricky if you have openmaps/maps.me because it shows a bridge before the PA which I was intending on using but a local told me there's no access to the PA from there - use google maps because it shows a tiny access road that will lead you all the way to the PA

You can catch the bus on the north side of the river of the main bridge.

To avoid all the shared taxis, I just kept on walking down the highway to a spot where cars could stop. It might take a few short hops until you find something longer.

Yeni Ceyranbatan (New Ceyranbatan)- reasonable spot to HH north (ex. Quba). Go to 20th January metro station and ask locals for buses to this village, it is on the road to Sumgait. It costs aproximately 50 kapik (2015). About 100m before junction with express road there is not very bad place to stop cars. No point walking and looking for bus stop. Waiting time very good but what decreases "hitchability" is not perfect place to stop cars.

They will expect some kind of payment though, DO NOT tell this to the police/army checkpoints, it is not allowed to take someone and have them pay since it will be seen as a taxi service, and the car doesnt have a taxi permit.
Just wait outside on the left side of the immigration building, coming from Tanzania. All cars have to pass through there eventually. If you're getting bored go out where all the cars are parked and ask around for destinations. 
That way when someone finally gets their temporary import permit, you already know where they are going and will take you more easily because you asked them when they were waiting, and not when they're anxious to finally get going.
They wait might be long, but it will be way faster and cheaper than public transport in the end.

Oh and the fine for my drivers was about 10.000 MWK. Which tripled my total price for going to Lilongwe. Agreed to pay 5.000 at first.

Excelent point. After roundabout cars drive slow and there is plenty of space to stop. After 20 minutes directly to Casablanca. One minus is that, there is a lot of locals who seek for the ride to short distances.

There's an ibis hotel that many cars turn into, as well as a bus stop that most of the locals stand around at. If you go up the road past the hotel turnoff, there's trees for shade.

I was coming from Mauritania, from Senegal. I hitched the boat because I literally catch him on his way, already full of people. On the Senegal side, I walked in the direction of Saint Louis until the last petrol station, where all the small bus starts their way for Saint Louis. I hitchhiked on the road until the first small bus stops, asked him if I could go for free because I´m only doing hitch hiking, he invited me with lots of laughs.

I flew a sign near the onramp going North here for cumulatively about 5 hours one day....not one person stopped.  No good places  to pull over, and it seems like most of the people driving this road are either cranky old ladies, or parents driving their teenagers (two kinds of folks I've never gotten a ride from).

I wouldn't recommend.  Try the other 101 onramp on Santa Rosa Ave instead?

There isn't a legal area to pull over but anyone with a determination to pick you up certainly could do so safely as there are two onramp lanes.

Had a hard time leaving SF going south in the city so I did the exact thing the OP did here. Turned out pretty great, though I didn't get a ride in 10 mins. More like 30. One thing, however, there is a gas station right on Linda Mar Blvd where this spot is posted on the map. The attendants saw my signs and made sure to tell me that "hichhiking is illegal in Pacifica" and I didnt want to deal with them calling the cops, so I walked down a little more where there is this huge dirt turnout and plenty of room for cars to stop. Took a ride to Santa Cruz.

I had little luck hitching outside the gate where cars pay (and missed the first ferry after I arrived as a result), but got a ride once I moved into the food/waiting area and sat there with my sign (staff did not seem to mind although YMMV).  Once onboard, the ferry is also a good place to look/ask around for a better onward ride.

Schedules and fares can be found at http://www.nfl-bay.com/northumberland-ferries-schedule-and-fares/ .  The vehicle fare includes all passengers while the walk-on fare is pretty steep (currently $17) so it's worth trying to get a ride onboard.

Stephenville has a Pop. of 8000 It's mostly a college town. Rides mostly go Northwest to Corner Brook. This is a junction. There are no gas stations or anything around here, but you can camp without permits in many places around Newfoundland. Wait time depends. Most traffic to/from Corner Brook is early morning and in evening for Stephenville people working in Corner Brook. Port aux Basques Ferry times also affect traffic to the Southeast of this area.
Alternatively you can get a shuttle van to Corner Brook from within Stephenville at their airport for $20 (price in 2008), but you shouldn't have to, wait times are usually shorter rather than longer. 20min-4hours depending on traffic.

A great spot for picking up rides going south towards Oak Harbor and the ferry if you're coming back from the Islands or Anacortes. There's a gas station and in front of it a bus stop. The buses on Whidbey are free as well, so if you end up not catching a ride you can always take the (slower) buss.

to hitchhike to Toronto this is the best way from Ottawa. Yes Ottawa/Toronto drivers are mostly dicks but if you look like a student and clean you should be able to hitch a ride in under 30 minutes.

When hitching here, I got a ride straight to Montreal after 10 minutes of waiting, so it worked out great for me. May have been just luck. There is some traffic, maybe not fluent, but you always see something going. Stand just before "no pedestrians" sign.

I have started 2 hitchhiking trips west from this same location. About 5 - 10 cars a minute, going generally slow, with enough room to pull over while other cars can still get by. Only took about 30-45 minutes each time. Public transportation from NYC: I got dropped off here, but there is also a NJ transit bus stop exactly 1 mile away (W. Main St. & Wall St., Rockaway) which you can bus to from Morristown, and you can get to Morristown from NYC via NY Penn Station. A bit of a stretch, but you can check out the route on google maps, says it only takes about 2 hours. Of course, there may be other good on-ramps to I-80... this is just the one I am familiar with.

Pretty solid place, serves both directions(which are to the best of my recollection on separate parking lots). Lots of Quebecois, although mostly with full cars (I was told they were returning from Florida). Declined a couple of shorter rides until eventually settling for a ride with a Vermonter who took me all the way to Glens Falls. The I-87 gets very lonely North of Glens Falls.

The spot looks really good hitching wise, but I would probably recommend waiting here until you get a really long ride, since in other places on the highway cars go much faster. After 15 minutes I took a short ride for a few miles, and then hitching the Yellowhead turned into a nightmare. Don't know why, but "Friendly Manitoba" was really unfriendly.

First time trying to hitch to Valdez, after an hour succeeded. It was after a long weekend, so everybody was going back to Anchorage or Fairbanks - some people would take me there.

Second time trying to hitch to Paxson (on the way to Delta Junction) in the evening of Septemeber. Tourist season shut down, so there weren't that many cars, but after 40 minutes I got my ride.

There's limited shoulder on the interstate on-ramps going down most of 95 in Connecticut, but all the on-ramps in Norwalk are screwy. 

Was stopped by a state trooper a ways back for "Improper use of the highway" for being on an on-ramp. (Can't actually find anything about this specific term or like terms via Google). Although I didn't receive a ticket, I was ordered to move to the street leading up to the on-ramp.

You can ride on the train to New York City from as far back as New Haven for nine dollars.

If it is often long waiting times til we hitch a ride from Chuí towards Pelotas. If that has been the case with you, I'd recommend writing on a paper the name of one of these places  on the way: Mangueiras or Quatro irmãos. These are some sort of farms on the way, there's absolutely nothing around these farms, but trucks come in and out loading stuff produced by in the region. This can be a way of moving some kilometers if you are stuck, since truck drivers might want to pick you up thinking that you're coming to work on those places or something like that.

This is the wost place to hitchhike I've ever had. We spend there a WHOLE DAY with no luck at all. The truck drivers are totally sick of backpakers and dont even talk to you. The people from the station try to make you out (during a small time was raining like hell and we came in just like anyone else will do) and if you take the same day of the train from Buenos Aires arriving prepare yourself for being 20 hitchhikers on the road.

As i said we spent a whole day, not joking we had to sleep there, there is no proper place to pitch a tent (if its the case cross the road and at the back of a "dead restaurant" there is a small nearly clean area.

Forget the SAKAMOTO autostation. FAROL IS THE BEST OPTION! REALLY! It could be the best option, because it's full of truckers, but the guys who work there DOES NOT let HITCHHIKERS TALK WITH THE TRUCKERS. They will tell you that you can only ask for a ride OUTSIDE the station.

Around 4-5pm, there are the trucks full of vegetables going straight to Cochabamba. I hitched one, it´s a 9 hours adventure on the top of the truck with Quechua farmer. The driver didn´t want me to come because he said that it will be too tough for me. Just insist a little. Also  think that you will travel at night, at 3400m, it can be really cold, every farmer has at least 8 cover on them.

Worked for me great to get South. I waited a bit longer, spotting only Argentinian cars since I had to go to Ushuaia. Be selective if you want to go on long rides. I do not recommend getting on a truck here...some km after the ferry port you will hit 100 km gravel road on the Chilean side of Tierra del Fuego, basically until the border in San Sebastian. So you would go with something like 20/30 km/h. Cars drive something like 60, sometimes 80, if you get a crazy driver.

Let's be clear: anything on this road will be tricky. It's mostly local traffic. Only option: walk as far as you can, passing the big Carrefour and the bus terminal (maybe you can bribe the driver to bring you to the police post?). Took me four hours to get to the police post, but then no problem at all into any direction I wanted. You could try to write a big banner saying: bring me to the police post or so.

My tip is to pay attention to the car plates, to see where are they going. I asked several times for a ride to cars with São Paulo - SP or cities around São Paulo plates, but I could only get a ride with someone from Londrina - PR. If the car is in Rio and it's going to Paraná, it is most likely that he will pass thorugh São Paulo to get there. It worked for me!

Agree. Not exactly busy, but there's still a constant amount of cars. I asked every driver stopping at the gas station and got a direct ride to Vienna within an hour - which is ok. The staff at the gas station is indifferent towards hitchhikers. So no problem here.

To go to this place, take the tram 1 (blue line) dir Odysseum at the last stop. Don't follow the car signs, it's longer. Look for Decathlon/Ikea and pass through a field to join this spot. You need a sign because there is a crossroad 100 meters far to go to the beach.
The toll is quite far, ask for Lunel, there is a service area 1km after the exit. But if nobody to Lunel directly, you can hitch-hike in every exit and there is some people! Even on sunday!

A bus station allows for cars to stop. Good place since it is the direct entrance ramp to the highway and easy to get to by foot from the city centre. 
Stood there for about 15 min until somebody took me to the gas station further down the road. The gas station proved to be an even better place and should be easy to get to, too.

Not really good to be on the left lane, the entrance is narrow and cars are reluctant to drive into the parking. Like this you'll only have a chance when the cars stop on the red light.

Maybe it works better to stand before the bus stop, many cars are still changing lanes and if they see you early they can still stop at the bus stop.

Anyway, we (2 ppl) tried many things here waiting for two hours without success in rush hour.

You should probably take directions if you're heading here- you may get lost! We hitched on the slip road for f*cking ages, then went directly up to the Peage and got a lift real quick. 

Finding a ride all the way to Barcelona was hard, but plenty going to the final major Peage before Barcelona, which is much more likely for a lift all the way!

There's a desolate sitting area in the restaurant building (first one on the right after entering, the one with a TV and slot machines) with comfy, cushioned chairs which makes a great napping spot; only downside is that it closes for the night.

Very very BAD spot! First, because cars that stop there are from neighborhoods from left and right of that gas station, and most important - if cars want to go on highway north of Lisbon from that place, they can't go straight north, but have to go on "round" way ABOVE hightway (like 50m from gas station), then BACK towards centre of Lisbon some 1km, then again on "round" way above highway to return on the direction for north! That means, people who are going north are NOT STOPPING at that station, unless they made a mistake. I waited 6 hours, and two Polish guys I met there waited 12H!! I had luck with some French couple who made mistake and stopped there. Also, some Portuguese people told me that I have to be careful at that gas station cuz it's in bad neighborhood, but to be honest, I didn't see anything suspicious.. Good luck!

Another try there, 2 h to get a ride. My boyfriend and I were going direction Coimbra, another hitchhiker we met on the station - to Santiago de Compostela. The two of us managed to find a ride from a driver going to Braga, who also agreed to take the other hitchhiker. Speak, speak, speak with the drivers, be as polite as you can, they might not be very familiar with the idea of hitchhiking, but when addressed personally in the right way they are very friendly in majority of the cases.

But be aware, because on service stations further ahead there can be almost no traffic during certain hours of the day!

So partly I was unlucky because 1 minute after I arrived (alone, female) one other hitchhiker came and then two more (a couple)! Also it took a while to find a way around the extensive fencing which surrounds this place. They've mended a bunch of holes that were made. Bring cutters or just after you pass under the highway (from the train station) climb up the wall and around the end of the fence. The 3 others who were there took the best hitching spot (all wanted to socialise and smoke weed?!?) so I took a different strategy: asking people directly "vais para sul?" ("Going south?") Some people were nice but there are a lot of families and also assholes coming through this place. I found out it's the most expensive place to buy petrol. So maybe we should all seek a better hitching spot next time. It costs €4,50 to arrive by metro/train from Lisbon centre. I waited for 4 hours and was finally was picked up by a nice local lady who offered to take me to a train station. I took it because I was sun burnt and had a deadline to arrive at my destination. The other 3 people were still waiting. Definitely not a top HH experience here.

Got a ride after 15 minutes to Portimao, pretty easy. You just have to ask people directly while they are refueling. By the way, if you see the gate closed then you just have to ring the bell and the gate will open. Simple as that, you don't have to jump the fence.

Arrived 20.12.2017, not a lot traffic and a lot of them head south. Try from here hitchhiking to A6, 1 hour asking and waiting a local took me to the next station before Setubal and I got stuck there. Only go on a ride when you actually head to A6.

The fence is not a problem you can climb the wall right after the tunnel from train station.
Generally it's not the best but does work to hitch to east or south

Well, I was unable to find an easy way to get in, so had to walk around to Western side, climb a fence, enter a highway and RUN 150 m as fast as I can.
Hitchability is rather poor, I was going in a direction of Spain, but most of the cars are occupied by local families and those who are not doesn't go far. Found a ride to one of the next gas stations in an hour and a half, assume it to be a better option for going Spain despite being a bit deserted.
P.S. reached this station to witness two German guys going south standing with a sign at the exit since morning. Poor boys continued their efforts as I was leaving. Just something to consider.

Hitched in moderate rain, 8am, no umbrella (oops), with sign ("East", then "Aachen") - 45 minutes.  It's difficult for fast lanes to stop (must cut across slow lane), & trucks on slow lane block a lot of traffic from seeing/stopping.  Still rated good overall.

Good spot. The cars go quite slow and there si some room for them to stop. From Romania to Bulgaria is possible to cross the bridge on foot - I did it. From Bulgaria to Romania in 2009 it was forbidden to cross it on foot but now I believe, though I am not sure, it is possible as well - since then there were some modifications made to the Bulgarian customs located at Russe.

Lots of trucks, probably better to have a sign with THEIR end-destination than yours, as they might pass your stop on the way. You can also ask cars and trucks at the stop just after the roundabout.

If you are going to hitch to Велико Търново with a sign and you want to shorten the name, write В. Търново, as that is what the Bulgarians and their road signs shorten it to.

Good spot for getting a ride east into Germany, but tricky to get to by foot. 

From the intersection of Lange Water/N325 you have to walk along the verge of the N325. When I did this, August '12, the grass was more than 1 meter high with loads of cobwebs and stinging plants. Also, it just takes quite a while to walk.

Hitchhiked from here about a week ago. The fuel station doesn't help you as everyone stopping there will go towards Eindhoven. The spot is good for thumb-hitchhiking towards Weert, Roermond, Maastricht and Heerlen. This spot is not advised if you want to go to Belgium/Heerlen, then you should search for a spot on the Aalsterweg, which is west of this road, or if you can find a way to go there, to the fuel station on the side of the highway A67 between Eindhoven and Eersel.

Pretty crowdy place, so it shouldn't be bad for hitchhiking, but if you want to go to Calais, it's kinda harder. We waited more than 30 mins, but people stopped us and told us, that they are heading different direction (all the time). After half an hour we got a lift.

I disagree with the people saying not to use a sign; there are countless directions the cars are heading towards (Drachten/Assen/Hoogezand/Emmen/etc.) and people are more likely to stop if they know where you're heading. My waiting times with a sign (towards Assen) are about 50% shorter than without one.

Left from here in the middle of the night to Eindhoven because of the absence of trains at this time of the day. Although I don't recommend this, I got a ride quite fast (20minutes). There are only a few cars stopping at this petrol station at this time, so you need a bit of luck. During the day it's often much more busy here, it's the best spot to go from Roermond in the direction of  Eindhoven.

Ive been there after it rained & was walking on that day in the rain. Just watch were you step, pretty simple. Having trekking boots on would be the best option but to be honest, I had no trouble getting dirty. On the way, its a bit dangerous some spots walking beside the road but some other you have few meters in-between. No worries, no trouble. As the other people wrote in the comment too which i would agree, just a bit of a pity to wait for longer as there are not many cars drop-in but all what you have to do is, talk with the people and don´t wait with your sign on the fuel station exit way.

We took the bus number 320 (one ticket is 4 euros) and then number 110 at the stop "P & R Terrein". You have to tell the busdriver that you want to get out in "Mariahoeweg", otherwise he will keep driving and you have to walk an hour in the Dutch countryside (which is a nice start of the day actually) with sheep and deers. Hitching at the petrol station took us (a guy and a girl) around 45 min from 9 am.

Depending on where you go, it's definitely a good spot. If you are planning to go back to direction Saarbrücken coming from Luxembourg, it is a hard spot if you wanna find a direct hitch.
We then decided to take the route via Metz to SB. To Metz/Nancy/Thionville it's easy to find cars.

Very good for directions North. Directions west and east are more difficult.
Shell gas station with personal saying you can't hitch from the gas station "Shell regulations" and rather have to stand somewhere else. I would suggest first (making trouble) and continue anyway, if they really start to threat then stand right at the entrance (or at the exit) of this P- place.

It seems to depend whether gas station personnel sends you away or not. I was once told to stand behind the gas station, but other times it was no problem standing in front of it. Either way, a good place to catch a ride to at least the first gas station on the A1 towards Germany.

it was 4:00 pm when start to hh and stay 40 min until the sun goes down and not resist to the cold.just remember that there is it a huge current of air from the car and buses which accelerate-not good in the winter.
also the car stops at the traffic lights and drivers can have time of thinking or if not is it in the front a bus stop.

Used this stop twice. First time was in summer 2011 and got a ride in 10min.
Second time was October 2012 and noticed the bus-line 150 route got changed, it no longer stops at "Locht". Instead, get out at "NH Koningshof" now, if you pay attention while in the bus, you'll notice it will go over the bridge that goes over the expressway (You can even see the petrol station you want to head to).

As correctly mentioned, to go South you should first go North to the A49 and then through Valence.

Awesome spot, I've been trying hard somewhere else, I got here at 7pm, walking from the station, you don't need a bus (15min), I asked to the first guy filling his car, I got the ride, 20sec, maybe also luck, it depends also from how many cars are there, I guess in summertime works at the best, I was there in the wintery february

Today (15.03.) tried to catch on the entrance to the petrol station - got a direct lift to Amsterdam after 5 minutes. Great spot, drivers can stop even if they didn't want to go to the petrol station. Also it's a reasonable distance to walk from the city centre.

We took this spot after reading the description above, we kind of underestimated the time it took to get here. Leaving Utrecht Centraal at 9.50 we got our first hitch to the A2 at about 11.15, dropping us off at A2 petrol station/burgerking ' De Lucht'.
I think it's not the best starting spot if you want to take the A2.
Also, we were sent away from the petrol station...

Easiest way to get to Maastricht is to find a driver going to Belgium or Eindhoven over the A76 in the Netherlands, then get out at A76 exit Geleen and hitch with sign Maastricht.

To get to Maastricht you can also find here any driver going to Heerlen-Eindhoven-Antwerpen, after crossing the border let the driver take the exit N281. Parallel road, the N281 has an exit Maastricht (with a petrol station at the beginning of the A79!). Then driver goes on on N281 towards his destination. This costs driver about 5 minutes extra driving time.

This is a fantastic place to be generally, it's easy to talk to hundreds of lorry driver in a short span of time since all drivers have to get off their lorry and do something with some of their documents. 
The downside is that after 20mins a civil servant came up to me and told me to leave. After some negotiation I was allowed another 20mins before I would have to leave. So do try to stay out of sight (as in behind the lorries).

>  The drivers of these are not allowed to take hitchhikers. 

They are! It's a matter of liability. And it's only a way for drivers to say, that they don't want to, or are indifferent about you. 

Two possible replies: 1) but your boss is not watching. 2) (only for decent looking hitchhikers!) you are allowed to take, only the lease company leaves liability in case of accidents to you. So, as long as you're not going to be part of car accidents...

To Utrecht/Amsterdam it's fantastic even till late at night. To Zwolle it's much less good. If it's still early (before 21?) it might be good to ask for a ride to the next exit and walk 2km to the on-ramp on the A50 if you need to go in direction Zwolle. This one is pretty good but might get worse late at night.

This is a great spot to get out of Cologne, and it’s directly at the Autobahn already! Going through the forest takes a bit longer than you imagine, also on the way there are signs to not veer off the path because there are military leftovers. The station is directly at the path so that’s no problem. Climbing the fence is a bit tricky because it’s pointy, but if you walk past the station there is a spot where a tree is bent over the fence (maybe not anymore).

We were a couple trying to go to Normandy on a Saturday afternoon. A hitchhiker was there already and probably got a lift, didn't work for us though, we gave up after something like 2 hours. However at some point we were offered a lift to "Les Mureaux" which is actually good because it's after the 1st gas station. Not so easy for cars to stop (only one stopped). Maybe better to have a sign with A13 or gas station symbol than Rouen or Normandy.

if you go on M7 or M1, this is definitely the best place to hich a ride. 
This is the last gas station near budapest (towards to east), and people who are traveling long distances, are often fueling up here. There are plenty cars from vienna.

I used to hich rides here, when i studied in sopron, and i can say, it has been always worked. 
the magic is the following:
you have to ask the drivers at the gas station. 

There is 3 different way, to get to the exit lane by car, becouse of the McDonalds, and anyways, the place is a bit overcomplicated. If the traffic is big, it is quite hard to stop by at the exit lane, without holding up the traffic.
 
According to my experiences, there are usually quite huge traffic, especialy between 15:30-18:30. I have spoken with a friendly employee of Agip, and he sad the same.

And about the unfiendly eployees: if they are f@ckin with you, you should know, that they have absolutely NO RIGHT to do that. Once i was told not to SPEAK with the customers at the gas station, becouse the owner doesn't like the hichers.
WHO CARES?! 
There was a police car, and asked them, weather the owner have any right to forbid ANYWHERE in that area to hichike - and what a surprise: he havent got any :)

Since then im not bothering with the employees. Just go there, and ask the drivers. I have never been left here.

Fortunately after only my second trying to ask someone, a Man took me ride to Girona City. He seemed he did hesitate to take me ride when I asked, but anyway he decided to take me ride! and even droped me off City center of Girona! How nice! so kindful.I was lucky to meet him.

like in the describtion
You need to get to Node N, a large clover-leaf intersection in the Mănăştur neighborhood. You can do this by taking any of the buses/trolley-buses 9, 24, 29, 52 (to the Bucium stop) or 1, 6, 25, 43, 43B (to the Clãbucet stop) (these cover most of the city, but if you can't find a stop for one of them, ask around). It's best to ask someone how to get to Mănăştur, so you know in which direction to get on the bus. If you got off at Clãbucet, follow the road, make a right, and you'll be at the Bucium stop. From the Bucium stop, follow the road for about 100m. The large clover-leaf intersection should be visible. Make a left at the intersection. Right after it, there's a good hitchhiking spot, and there may be others hitching there.

Bad place to go on the A7. We arrive there at 7am. Ask everyone. A lot of people go on the A47. We found a guy and after 15m and be quite pushy he accept.
At least, there is a tree at the exit of the station to hide from the sun.

I waited 30mn at the peage with a sign for Auxerre/Paris. Nobody was going this way. I finally took a car going south (Lyon), got out on Aire de Beaune, crossed the highway and restarted asking for Paris, wich worked out quite easily.

got out from Paris once with 4 other friends, making two groups. Made it again recently with my girlfriend, only had to wait 10 minutes before leaving the station to Auxerre. You can surely find a good car from here, but if you don't want to wait, go directly to the peage, asking drivers to leave you there.

we waited for a very long time, about 4 hours, though other hitch hikers got a lift after 30 min, another one after 2. it's all about luck. though in the end we found a lift to auxerre and the guy left us in front of the place we were couchsurfing.

Still, the best one to Dresden/Berlin. Well-reachable by bus from the metro station. And you do not necessarily need to make your way through the muddy field, just continue walking further following the asphalt road after you see the gas station through the bushes and then take left. Made different experiences there, from 1 minute with 3 other people to 1 hour alone. Sometimes there seems to be a lot of local traffic, but be calm @ take a lift to OMV in Litomeřice at least.

Postivive: you can go to the Parktiker or to Auchan to get a sign and pen, so you write down your destionation and at the bus stop ypou can show it to the drivers.
Negative. I was here at afternoon, it is not the best place to leavse Szeged at that time. A lot of car go eiter way the "Lézeres Kutatóközpont" or the industry park. Other problem is the bus. If the bus is at the bus station the car can not pull over, so the driver will not stop for you. I suggest the bus stop at the Nagybani piac. Good traffic, only a few bus. And get up early, if you want to leave Szeged quickly. All spot near the Budapesti út is much better early morning.

Lots of traffic inbound Katowice; if You are headed inbound Opole the best is to take even a driver who goes inbound Katowice and get dropped at the petrol station 10 km before Katowice and cross on the other side of the highway to finally find a driver inbound Opole, Wrocław.

I go this way at least once a month. Just check the ferry schedule (mols-linien.dk) for ferries heading to Odden and show up half an hour in advance. 
Make a KBH sign to be sure to get a lift all the way to copenhagen.

Waiting time here is not measured in minutes but in seconds. On an average winter weekday it takes less than a minute to get a lift.

Depending on when you arrive, you can either stand with a sign outside the waiting lines or you can go to the lines and ask for a ride.
Also, if your driver does not head towards Copenhagen, it is very easy to ask somebody onboard o they have a spare seat in their car:)

It is not allowed to go into the car waiting area to ask people, but if you're there half an hour before the ferry leaves it isn't necessary. No worries, even if there are many other hitch hikers you're almost sure to get a lift.

I have hitchiked 2 times at this place and catched the car in less than 30 seconds. Its good to wait just couple of metres in front of the check-in with the sign CPH.Check the ferry schedule at  Mols-Linien website, it usually goes every hour.Remember to be there at least 30mins before the departure, so the cars have a chance to stop you. But once we have stopped the car 10mins before ferry departure. Its really easy to hitchhike there, but sometimes there is more groups of hitchhikers,so good luck :)

It's very easy and if you are more than 1 you can split and then ask the driver that will stop if he/she can carry more. Once we were split in 2+2 and a driver picked us all up! :)

Waiting time can be anything between 5 min (if you are picket up right away) and several hours (if noone picks you up for the ferry and you have to wait for the next). I have experienced both scenarios several times, but keep coming back because it's still the easiest way to get to Copenhagen.

Super easy to get a direct ride to KBH. Better to stand on the left side, since the check-in for the cars is on that side. Both on the left and right there´s a lot of space to pull over. We met one more hitchhiker and all of us got a ride quite quickly around the same time.

As of July 2012 there is some construction work going on and the intersection is being rearranged. It seems they are making two ramps to get on the motor way. The northmost ramp seems the better place to stand. Still a very good place in Aarhus to get on the E45 and South, but if you are going to Copenhagen, I would suggest to go to the harbour and hitch a ride at the ferry.

There is a sort of lay by directly at the roundabout exit to the ferry port. People would be able to stop, Lorries probably can't. But most people are way to focused on the confusing signs around. I had no Luck whatsoever. Nowadays people buy their tickets online or at the passport check. People who arrive at the carpark 95% are not going on the ferry, but you can have an eye on it. Definitely have a Sign to get more attention :) (or just try the spot up the road)

I prefer the spot right beside the traffic light (the one before you enter the highway). So you can get into the car when they are waiting for green or some times they stop at the beginning of the autobahn. I recommend to use a sign. Usually I have a sign with a close destination to get to the next truckstop on highway and look there for another ride.

After reconstruction and opening the overpass/flyover it's mostly a pointless spot as you miss most of the traffic. If you're going to Katowice, Wrocław, etc. it's much better (though still far from perfect) to head west (away from Makro and Ikea) and find a spot there.

Around 30 minutes wait on a late Thursday evening (18:30). 

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

The traffic was very low as it was already 6:30 pm. Apparently there is no traffic at all after 7:30 pm (according to a guy working on the station). 

I was picked up by a driver who dropped me at the Orthez toll where I could continue towards Bayonne.

As it is historically considered as a student place for hitch hiking towards the university of Louvain La Neuve, cars passing by got used to the idea of taking people. Usually get a ride within minutes. Though I personally prefer checking how far they are going first, as to find out if there is a petrol station on the motorway on their way... so I can continue without getting stuck.

If going south, you should try to get somebody past Malmö or even Kobenhagen, because otherwise it could get difficult for you. Nice spot.

We was 2. We wanted to go to Portugal and find à Truck. But it's impossible. Trucks don't have 2 sits and there is not à lot of people for Portugal (90% are going to France A8-Baiona). So we tried 3 hours and we didn't found so we slept in our tent the night and tried again on the Highway up there for 2 hours (not a good spot at all - not a lot of space to stop and cops scary the drivers)
So we went back to this spot and tried again to go to the AP1or8 and found someone for a gas station 40 km away.

Take bus 78 from Groningen to 'Hoofdweg 15, Scharmer'. From there, cross the highway over the bridge and go right towards the petrol station. At the end of the road is a little bridge which will help you to get over the water.

Got really unlucky on this station. 7 years of hitch-hiking and it's the first time that it happens to me. The guy of the gas station came and said that it's illegal to hitch-hike, that i should go on the parking more far. There was almost no one on this day, so i said that it's legal and that i will stay here anyway. The guy spend the 2 hours that i was here saying to people to not take me. Finally he got bored and i got a ride. Crazy!

me + Nicol, dir. Granada

A lot of traffic. We went here by the highway (no car stopped).
Most of the cars are going to Sevilla;
quite a lot of cars are local; 
some go to Cordoba and
a few to Granada.

We took a ride just to the next station, to break a bad luck.

I suggest there has to be a spot on A7, that is better than this for going dir. Granada.

a very pessimistic place for hitchhiking. i found loads of messages like 'i've been here for two days and still nothing'  in that place. i waited there for an hour, but the traffic was low (maybe because it was Sunday). then I just went to the lorry parking which is in about 2km from there. much more prospects.

One worker of the port picked me up and droped out on the toll station where I had no problem with finding truck driver who was going west to rouen. 

I was standing at this post with hitch-hiker couple from UK. They were going to Belgium and they found a lift within 20 minutes.

Failed to hitch out of Calais from here, two of us tried to hitch from the road to calais towards the roundabout for several hours but there was nothing. I think a group went up the hill onto the motorway sliproad and got a lift. We were not keen to do this as it's farily unsafe for cars to stop but maybe there is a good spot at the top of the hill, should probably have checked with hindsight ...

I hitchhiking here and my experience was not very good. Despite this, several locals told me this is the best place and the most known, so maybe I was just unlucky. I was with an hitchiking partner, and we split trying to HH either from the shoulder or at the exit of the gas station, but we needed more than 2 hours for a ride. Cars go quite fast on the road, despite there is a traffic light. We tried to HH from the gas station, but an employees came and said to go out because it's private property. Actually in this 2 hours, 6 cars stopped, but they were all going inside the city

If you want to go out from Copenhagen, this is a good spot because there is a petrol station, a space to stop and traffic lights. Disadvantage is that a lot of local people use the petrol station and the street goes to a lot of highways.

I followed the instruction on the main page for Cologne and caught the Tram U9 to Königsforst, then after looking at the map at the train station there walked about 1km to the onramp, found an ok place to hitch from and held up a sign for the Siegburg Bahnhof - only later did I realise my error, I should have written Siegburg Raststätte, to get dropped off at the rest stop about 15km south along the A3. I was dropped off in the Middle of Siegburg and had to walk the 3-4km through the town to get to the rest stop.

I can only confirm all the above, I found a ride all the way to Magdeburg in 25-30 minutes, but they could have taken me to Berlin or even Warsaw. 

If you are trying to get there from Hengelo, you either have to cross a little ditch of water, or walk next to the railway as you go around the little hill. I suggest the second one.

Hitched twice recently from here (March and April 2012) and both times got a ride to Wroclaw resp. Katowice within 20-40 minutes. For the rest, can only approve the words of my previous speakers

We were two and there were 5 other HHers at the station and we had cake (a lot of cakes), even when we were half unconscious we manage to get a ride in one and a half hour.

You can climb down the brigde if you're not afraid to climb down 2 metres on a fence. Then walk 20 metres to the station. Got a ride within minutes.

You'll get a ride within minutes - IF you can reach it. I'll usually cycle there. Hide my bike. Jump across the canal and walk to the station. You'll be guaranteed to find a ride to(wards) Berlin. 3 out of 3 times it worked...

We were (two guys) SUPER lucky to find a ride straight to Hamburg with two pretty german girls ;) But we were waiting for 1 hour, because it was not so much traffic and it was raining. But the place by itself is really good!

A little tricky to get there by foot, but once you get there its a very good spot to go to Hannover/Berlin or Hamburg.

Got send to the back by (very unfriendly) staff; it was well after dark, so nobody wanted to stop and all drivers on the parking lot were either truck drivers taking a break for the night or people with children. Ended up taking a nap on the other side (there's a tunnel under the highway, the staff there didn't seem to be bothered) and found a ride to Meppel from the parking lot in 15 minutes the next morning. Not suitable for hitchhiking at night, very decent for during the day.

I can highly recommend this place, especially if you're only one person and/or have light luggage. I waited 30 minutes at the traffic light with a sign to go to A1 in the direction Wuppertal. True, it's hard for cars to stop but a lot of cars stop at the traffic light anyway, so you can ask the drivers.

When I was on the S-Bahn, I saw 2 other hikers in this spot, when I arrived in 5 minutes they were gone. Unfortunately for me it didn't go that well, I used a sign that said "Hamburg", then switched to just using my finger - then several cars stopped and offered me rides close by, such as Düsseldorf and Dortmund. Waited about 1h 1/2 - 2h before I quit.

Rebuilding of the ramp resulted in even worse possibility for cars to stop, but they do nevertheless. Good for Rheine and further.

Didn't expect this place to be very good, but it was better than we expected. Even though there's no gas station and just a small restaurant there are least about 4-5 cars every 10 minutes. Took us about 30-40 minutes to find a ride all the way to Berlin eventually.

The place is called "Rastplatz Oberlausitz" (South). Perfect for Poland. Ask Polish drivers first. On my way to Krakow, I only had to ask one Polish driver and got a lift to Wroclaw (but left the car at MOP Krasnik Dolny because it's the biggest truck parking before Wroclaw). It was 5:30 in the morning.

Depending on your direction it's a pretty good place to either get to Mannheim or North towards Frankfurt.
I tried making it to France (via K'lautern and Saarbrücken) and failed miserably. I definitely wouldn't recommend hitching from here, but rather trying to get south on the A5 towards Strasbourg, that worked fine.

People do not see this little stopping space from their cars even when they stay on the red light, because it is a little bit higher than both streets are.I recommend to stay on  traffic lights, then if someone want to take you, he will just stop on the Mannheimer Strasse.

Seems like a poor place, especially as the traffic light system is so damn efficient meaning the cars generally flow through. But you shouldn't be waiting more than an hour for a lift.

Dropped off here at noon.  Tried roundabout to north M3 for 2 hours.  Asked at both of the gas station for 2 hours each.  Ended up sleeping in the woods on the east side of the M3.  Got up in the morning and got a ride in 15 minutes.  Seemed like commuter traffic.  Better to head north in the morning.

Very high traffic but no one stopped. There is a bus stop nearby so take a bus from there to Pucol (approx 3€) and try to hitch from Pucol.

I think it was this spot where the road that runs parallel to the motorway past Novi Sad (for cars coming in and out of the city) and the normal motorway join up again. Hitched from under the bridge where cars come on the the road and got a lift all the way to Budapest.
