Bus stop for south direction. Very nice spot: low speed, plenty of space to stop. Got a ride within 2 minutes, and the driver invited me to stay at his place!!

Excellent place to go to Lausanne, Nyon, Geneva, or even France. Stand on the separator area next to the traffic lights, and approach the cars with your thumb up asking where they're going to.

Getting from here to the center of Geneva is quite easy, possibly faster (and cheaper) than the 13 minute train ride. Stand on the separator/sidewalk between the parking and the road, lots of people drive slowly here because of the flow of the traffic. Some drivers will go through the center of Geneva, however all of them will at least leave you at the tram stop (only a few stops to the train station with hardly ever any controls). Great for people who drive through Geneva and don't have the time to go to the center - however this isn't a good spot to go anywhere further than inside Geneva.

Good spot for going east after the Lausanne/Vennes exit. Stand on the sidewalk next to the traffic light and approach cars as they wait for the light. This works better than if you stand next to the Fourmi metro stop, as the traffic light is much slower here.

If you'd like to head North to Shitville or Sofia, this is a great spot.  There's a gas station, and decent visibility and adequate space for drivers to stop.  A lorry stopped for us (guy/girl) after dark within 20 minutes.  I'd bet it'll be a great spot for day time.

the spot seems ok, peole go slow because it's a rondabout and they can pull over to the petrol station; also you won't miss the ones just stopping for petrol or cigarettes. Anyway, we (2 people) waited there three hours without getting a ride, and met two guys who also got stuck there for half a day. Lucky for us, it's not a bad place to get stuck, even over night.

As soon as it's dark it's pretty difficult to get away from here. Even though cars are rather fast, it's an okay spot at daytime to go south.

You can put up your tent under some lovely trees close to the onramp.

Good traffic and a lot of cars stop for us, but most of them asked for money. When we said "no money" they passed through. It took about an hour to move from this place and it was, I think, the twenty-fifth car who agreed to go without paying money.

A spot to stand by the road that leads up to the ramp to the highway which is going south towards Malmö. There is both time and a little space where cars can pull in and pick you up. Have a sign! Ideally towards "Snapparp" (a few miles down the highway) where there's a petrol station and a much better place to ask around for rides further south.

The main advantage of this spot is an easy way of getting there from the city – you can take metro to the station Lomsko Shosse and walk from it just a few meters to pass the public bus stop. From here you can try to get direction for Montana, as I did. But take into account that the road goes through the mountain pass about 1550 meters high, so even though the distance is not very large, it will take more time than could be expected at first.

Bom lugar para pegar carona, para quem estiver indo para São Paulo (Capital) ou o norte do Paraná.
Este posto é 24h. Da para tentar pegar carona durante a noite.
Já tive que passar a noite neste posto, todavia eu estava sem barraca. Fiquei na lanchonete, até o amanhecer. Creio que seja tranquilo para quem for acampar, é só conversar com o pessoal do posto.

From Piata Mihai Viteazau you take bus number 8. You go by bus till Someseni, this is after Aurel Vlaicu. There you can find a good ramp. There is enough space to make a contact with drivers, there is a trafic light and also the cars are very slowly. From here you can go to Dej, Baia Mare or Bistrita, Ucraina, Suceava, Moldova.

Très peu de trafic et un trafic surtout local.

Manque de place pour s'arrêtre sans gêner une peu probalbe circulation sur la route.

Automobilistes peu disposés à s'arrêter.

Quitter Lapalisse en direction de Le-Donjon est un vrai bordel. En lisant une carte vous trouverez logique de passer par la D990a (là où se trouve ce spot) mais en vous fiant aux paneaux indiquant LE-DONJON, vous devrez d'abord prendre la D707 pour ensuite bifurquer sur la D990. Ce qui, sur une carte, parâit abérant. A vous de choisir ce que vous préférez...

Desk TIMS. This position receives truck toward the Northeast, Southeast, South and other regions of Brazil.

To get at the gas station: If you are in the city of Serra should go to the Terminal de Carapina and take the bus 540 (Terminal de Campo Grande) and ask to get off at Gas Station TIMS.

If in Cariacica or Viana you should go to the Terminal de Campo Grande and take the bus 540 (Terminal de Carapina).

If you are on another City of Grande Vitória Region (Vila Velha and Vitória) just go to Terminal de Carapina and take the bus mentioned above.

From the gas station it took less than 5mintutes to get a more than 600km lift.

As far as I ve seen the best way to approach the petrol station nowadays is to go up the hill from the other side of av. Roger Salengro.

Service area from where you can hitch a ride to Tokyo quite easily. You can go in and out freely - if you walk down into the valley, there is a bus terminal right underneath the highway.

August 2014. There were some construction works going on that were making a big traffic jam. In this spot though, although not the safest, in this case, the traffic was getting smoother, and so plenty of cars at a not very high speed were coming. In 10 minutes we got an awesome ride of a cool Norwegian guy.
Good deal of margin space for the cars to stop, good visibility, there's a lane for cars to turn left, which should make cars go slower.

Hitchhiked here on January and almost no cars getting into the motorway to the North. There is 2 big gas stations on both side but if you are going to North I would suggest you to hitchhike where car from Almeria get into the motorway with a cartoon "Murcia". Waited 3 hours to get a lift for 40km, and 6hours to get Murcia. After Murcia it is much easier so one possibility would be to take a bus to Murcia from Almeria.

Very good place to hitchhike North to Alicante. A lot of traffic, cars passing slowly after the roundabout, enough place for cars to stop. Got a ride in 15minutes with a cartoon "Alicante". Walk 100m after the roundabout on the other side of the safety barrier.

Good option if you are heading to France since a lot of trucks go there. Got a lift to Nice in 20min, just had to wait the truck leaves (1more hour). You should directly go to talk with drivers.
But most of cars who stop there seem to go to Barcelona.

If you are going to the direction of Ales, it is pretty cool to go to this place. There is red light, and when cars are stopped, go along the line with your cartoon "Ales". Took me less than 10min. You can walk from the highway to this place.

Be aware to hitchhike on the D998 in the direction of Florac during the high season. I did it on December and it was very easy to get a lift to Vialas, then 2 cars passed in 2hours, I was desesparately walking when the post driver picked me up, he said: "It is forbidden to picked you up, but if I dont, you will walk the next 30km" :) Anyway amazing lanscape, amazing road!

If you are going to Millau, it is much easier to go up North in the direction of Mendes, and then take the highway with "Millau" cartoon than trying to cross all the Gorges du Tarne.

I've hitched from here twice, both southbound across the M42 to M5. The first time we got stuck for several hours and had to start approaching people as night was drawing in. We made it eventually. The second time I got a quick pickup here BUT misheard the guy and got dropped halfway along M42. Bad move - got really stuck. In my experience M42 south is quite sticky so try to do it in one ride if at all possible. If you're just heading down the M1 though, you'll be fine from here.

A good spot for hitching up the M1 north or across the M42. Stood here 20 minutes, got a nice lift all the way to Nottingham. It took me a minute to figure out the right spot but I opted for the place where cars are coming out of the car park, pausing before turning right towards exit / filling station. You get a good flow of traffic and they are nice and slow, with space to pull in.

Not a bad place if you find yourself in Monmouthshire heading north for the M50 or M5. Expect to wait an hour or so as traffic doesn't exactly flood through these services, but there's plenty of room to stand and you're just as likely to get a trucker as a car driver. In my experience, way better to go from here than Monmouth.

If you're hitching the A40, avoid having to stand in Monmouth if you possibly can. The road layout makes no sense - a dual carriageway with almost nowhere for cars to stop. If you have to go from Monmouth though, this is the only place I've had any luck. The southbound route is a little easier as the small exit for Old Dixton Road is pretty quiet and acts as a pull-in for cars. Northbound looks hard - not done this direction myself as I now avoid Monmouth like the plague.

Horrendous place to hitch from. Don't let them drop you here if you have any choice in the matter! The Coldra interchange can be fast, with really limited stopping places, and half of the drivers are already confused and intimidated by the weird new double-roundabout road layout. If you have to go from here, probably best to stand near the lights and hope someone takes pity on you. You could be in for a wait. Maybe also try going from Ringland Way (pink road to the south) but don't count on it - we had no luck there. Or if you're going West along the M4 (to Cardiff or further) maybe hitch into the centre of Newport and walk out to the Tredegar Park Roundabout (junction 28) where you can get M4 or A48 traffic. It's better than here.

Only tackled the A120 once, and it has put me off for life. We got the ferry into Harwich around mid-afternoon. Tried several spots from the harbour onto the A120, eventually just walked with our thumbs out and a sign on our backs. No luck. This was August, but long summer evenings or not, eventually it got dark. We camped out in a hedge. It took us another 4 hours the next day before we got our first lift. My map still has a big 'NO!' written next to Harwich, in case I ever forget.

No primeiro levantar de dedos, elas conseguiram carona com um caminhao e eu, depois de meia hora, consegui com uma familia...direto para Santiago.

Large and very busy service station. Obviously, a lot of traffic here is local and stays in the Ruhr area. Nonetheless, there is a fair amount of Dutch cars and others heading for The Netherlands.

Este ponto de carona é uma boa porque fica perto de duas estradas a BR277 que liga o litoral do Paraná ao Paraguay, e a BR116 principal rodovia brasileira.

O ponto no mapa não está exatamente no lugar certo, mas não é difícil chegar lá.

No terminal de São José pegue o ônibus BORDA DO CAMPO (R$2,95) e peça para descer na BR antes de  entrar em borda do campo, ou se preferir fique de olho no lado direito que tem um posto de saúde, assim que ver ele pode dar o sinal.
Descendo do ônibus mais ou menos de 1 Km a frente você vai encontrar dois grandes postos de gasolina (um em cada lado da pista) é tranquilo pegar carona lá.
Mas também se quando você descer do ônibus caminhar uns 2 Km para trás você vai ter um bom ponto de acesso a BR 116 , tem um bom acostamento, boa visibilidade, e passa bastante caminhão.

heard from locals you could hitch boats from this island. stayed for a week, swimming out to boats (cargo, yachts, launches, fish, etc) and didn't get any rides. had to hitch a small launch back to the coast to get to turbo. also sketchy island - before us last 2 people there had been journalists who were murdered (i was told). creepy place, there was a lady locked in her house, and we were told not to walk around too much. stayed with one very nice family in a little hut though. but still creepy… good experience

In 30 min 5 cars stop but all asked for money...I decided to give to the 6th 10 RON till Buzau (you can try to negotiate to go for free, but they really expect money). Cars go to Braila too.

This spot is very difficult to reach (we were dropped off here from the airport), it's quite loud because it's next to the highway and it might not be ideal for drivers to make a stop. There is not a lot of cars coming from Nürtingen, but a lot of them coming from the other lane. It's possible for drivers to stop because the place you will be standing on is a reserved area for cars to pull over marked with white paint, but the problem is that the busy lane will have a lot of cars driving quite fast. All in all this spot should be used only in need.

Great hitching spot if you are coming from Bs As and heading north towards Rosario. Bus 15 from the center (4.70 pesos in Feb 2015) will drop you off at this gas station, you may either talk to people or just thumb at the station exit, where there is plenty of space to pull over. We didn't have to wait for longer than 2 minutes, two other friends were also picked up immediately.

It's a petrol station inside the highway, it calls "Cantagallo". You can reach it from the city: take the bus 89 from "piazza malpighi" and stop in "S Biagio Micca". There is a little road under the bridge, follow it. It takes around 30 minutes to arrive inside from the city. You can go in both directions: to North it's good to go to Padova, Piacenza or enter in Bolonia; to south it's good to go to Florence.

Sure, you might get lucky, but the bosnian way of driving makes it impossible and dangerous to stop here. Unless they pull into the gas station, but it was not very popular. Had to take the train in the end.

Not a good spot if you are not traveling alone, because here there are just trucks!!

Here there is a traffic island after the roundabout just out of the parking. From 09:00 AM there are lot of people go VERY SLOWLY to work and all of cars see you. If you have to go to Carcassone, Narbonne, Barcellone or Montpelliere this is a good spot. I've waited 15-20min :)

C'è un piccolo spartitraffico giusto dopo la rotatoria dopo il parcheggio. Verso le 9 del mattino la gente va a lavorare e crea un tappo incredibile, il traffico rallenta tantissimo ed è pieno di macchine. Consigliato un cartello. Per andare a Carcassone, Narbonne, Montpellier o Barcellona si passa praticamente per forza da li. 15-20 minuti d'attesa

There is a bus stop on both sides of the road, however there is a nice lay-by on the south direction, where it's easy to get a ride (Done that 4 or 5 times, always quick). In my experience, the drivers are usually going towards Ilchester, not Langport. There's no lay-by here going towards Glastonbury. The traffic is fairly busy and thus drivers won't be very keen on stopping.

Easy to get to from the city center as opposed to the south exit. The northern exit is also easy to get to, just ask around for busses.
There is a steep roadside where you can put your backpack and it is in the shade during the afternoon. A panaderia is on this side of the road.
The acceleration lane could be a place where cars can stop to pick you up, trucks probably not.
Worth to try in order to get outside of the city.

Took the bus here (italians themselves don't pay for the ticket so your own description is advised) and waited at the bus stop. Not the best place but still managed a ride after 5 minutes to Koper, where I then waited for a ride to Pula.

Cars coming down the B482 could stop here at the intersection to pick you up. The cars are driving quite fast (50 - 70 km/h). Cars can see you very early. I don't have any experience with this place myself, a guy who was going to the train station saw us, and then decided to go by car rather than train, to help us

After maybe 15 minutes we got a ride. The driver stopped in the gas station and we're in. It was maybe 4.30 in the evening and there was already some traffic. When the light was red a little traffic jam obliged the drivers to stop the car and ultimately stare at us, which was kind of funny if you're confortable with it.

Best place to hitch out of Fribourg, esp. towards german-speaking Switzerland. Take the bus to Portes-de-Fribourg and stand just before the bridge that crosses the highway and leads to the traffic circle where people get on the highway. (theres no place to stop in the traffic circle itself.) A sign is indispensable. Even with this though, waiting times can be long depending on your luck... fribourg is just damn small

The Khor Virap (Armenian: Խոր Վիրապ, meaning "deep pit" or "deep well") is an Armenian Apostolic Church monastery located in the Ararat plain in Armenia, near the border with Turkey, about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) south of Artashat, Ararat Province. The monastery was host to a theological seminary and was the residence of Armenian Catholicos.
Khor Virap's notability as a monastery and pilgrimage site is attributed to the fact that Grigor Lusavorich, who later became Saint Gregory the Illuminator, was initially imprisoned here for 14 years by King Tiridates III of Armenia. Saint Gregory subsequently became the king's religious mentor, and they led the proselytizing activity in the country. In the year 301, Armenia was the first country in the world to be declared a Christian nation. A chapel was initially built in 642 AD at the site of Kirat Virap by Nerses III the Builder as a mark of veneration to Saint Gregory. Over the centuries, it was repeatedly rebuilt. In 1662, the larger chapel known as the "St. Astvatsatsin" (Holy Mother of God) was built around the ruins of the old chapel, the monastery, the refectory and the cells of the monks. Now, regular Church services are held in this church. It is probably the most visited pilgrimage site in Armenia.

It's easy to get there. Just go to the last station of underground called Mlociny. Then take 114 towards Mlociny-UKSW. Get off at the Muzealna bus stop. Walk 150 m ahead towards Optima petrol station.

Ask drivers for a ride towards Plonsk(most of them go there) but not to the city - get out at the first petrol station after crossing Vistula river(Statoil). There You have only long distance rides - no local traffic:-)

In that way You can HH North despite weather and time (I did it during rain and even nights). Safe and fast!

Great stop on the way North. There is a big petrol station here(Statoil). Nearly no local traffic. Very easy to get long distance ride towards Olsztyn, Gdansk, Torun or Bydgoszcz.

It's the first petrol station after crossin Vistula river, so easy to get here. And easy to leave:-)

Great spot to HH towards Warszawa. There is a crossing with the road towards Przasnysz and cars have to stop at the traffic lights. Just wait a while for red light and walk along cars. You have just a of half minute, so use sign(WA-WA is enough). 

There is no other place to stop and a lot of traffic so stick to the place before traffic lights.

It's very easy to get a ride to Warszawa, usually in 10 minutes:-)

Depending on the season, this is a great spot to hitchhike to Tbilisi. I did it couple of times. As Ananuri itself is a pretty popular tourist destination (and other people will come from Pasanauri or as far as Gudauri and Kazebgi) there should be plenty of opportunities to catch a ride. It is not the perfect location though and people will drive a bit fast )) Enjoy!

Somewhere over here, there is a small bus stop. You can simply wait there, waive your hand up and down and wait until somebody will pick you up. Got a ride as a group of 4 within 30min with just little traffic in summertime.

I used this spot several times to hitchhike to Racha region. Get somehow to Tkibuli from where you simply walk, wald, walk and waive your hand on the way. Within the city, most people are likely to stay within the city. When you approach the end of the city, chances increase that somebody drives to Racha. Be aware, though, that this road is not really frequented. Once you are outside the city, cars are extremely likely to take you with them.

Buses from Xalapa center to Banderilla stop about a 5-minute walk away. There's a traffic light right before the division between the free (libre) and paid (cuota) highways towards Puebla and Mexico City. If you're going long distance, the paid one would be better, but those going there would be in the inner, further lanes, so it can be hard to get a ride from here.

Buses from Xalapa center to Banderilla can let you off right here. It's the road to Puebla and Mexico City, but the free one, so you're not likely to get a long distance ride. The spot is a good one, cars have tons of room to stop and can see you long before they get to you. Try to get one at least to Las Vigas, where you can easily get on the paid (cuota) road and hitch from a tollbooth (caseta). 
If you get stuck, an intercity bus from TRV company going further towards Las Vigas, Perote, and Teziutlan stops here.

To get out of Dresden in direction to Berlin, you should definitely try this spot. You need to take a train from Dresden-Neustadt to Dresden-Trachau and to walk for 15 minutes (streets An der Durren Heide and Heulander Strase). There is a traffic light and cars come in waves. They can easily see you and it's easy to make eye contact with drivers. We got  a ride after 10 minutes.

Direction: South/Lagos. Good spot, cars are not to fast because of the bridge. There is a small gas station, it's just for the cars of the municipality so there is no people to ask for a lift, but there is space for the cars to stop. It's good to have a sign Most of the cars are't going so far, but maybe you can ask for a lift just to the Aldi supermarket, it's a better spot to going south. Or you can walk. We got a ride in this place, so for us was good.

Got dropped off here from Zagreb on our way to Budapest. In case you are hitchhiking from Sesvete in the direction north, this is probably the only viable spot. There's not a lot of traffic passing, but drivers have space to pull over. 

Note: On the back of the traffic sign you can see notes and signatures left by hitchhikers.

Decided not to go there because there are some very strict sounding signs warning against crossing over to the other side of the highway - if my Japanese is not mistaken, because of dangerous animals. So although this place is relatively accessible from Gifu, unless you don't mind some explicitly illegal fence jumping, probably don't try here.

The cars can't stop, they are driving very fast when they are coming thru. When the cars are coming from the left side, there is a traffic light but they are not stopping neither. The only option is knocking car by car and asking for a lift. I don't recommend!!

Short walk from Kurozasa station. Not a huge parking area but good enough. 630 yen from Nagoya station. Note that the first hill you come across isn't where the parking area is - go around until you get to the expressway and walk up. There's a big farm tourist attraction thingy that you walk by, and there are signs inviting you to walk into the PA.

I got a lift here to Asni after walking out of the old town and hitchhiking on the way at diffferent places for over 3 hours. From the old town you will pass about two roundabouts, after that there are not many more side streets, so you might as well stop there and hitchhike. There is some traffic light on the way as well after which is a better spot, as cars are not fast there.

Been there a couple of times, hithiking to Graz. Two of us, m+f, standing in the green area in between directions, close to the traffic light, with a sign, during red light approaching people coming from the city and turning left to Graz. Started around 7:30, on working days, it didn't take us more than 20 mins to get a ride. We also tried the other spot, just when you turn left, but we found it much easier with cars that have already stopped at the traffic light.

There's some space before the tolls, there are only two lanes, so they can easily change the lane they're on, even though the highest chances of getting a ride are from the drives coming from the direction of IC8 west who enter this part of the road just before the toll both = quite close to where you'll stand.

Big gas station just before the Hungary/Serbian border. The gas station has a lot of abandoned cars, so it looks like it's full, but in reality is totally empty and not so many cars stop here. I asked different polices in different times if I could walk from there to the border control. The first police said no, bu hours latter the second police said that I was allowed to walk on the grass just beside the road. Right before giving up at the gas station, a guy took me from here to Macedonia (FYRON)

Cars can easily stop, but there is no unused lane. They have to stop on the way, but it's wide enough for other cars to ride around ... 
There are lights, so you can hitchhike late.

if you're not lucky, try to reach the next petrol station "Noidre Est" and restart hitchhiking from there

Not easy to reach, because there is not much space to walk. You have to walk on the right side of the way, next to parked cars so you can't see fast cars coming on your back...

But once reached, really good place. Cars have to slow down before going on the highway, have time to see you and can easily stop.
Stand on the unused lane with a sign.

Excellent place for going to Georgia! Waited here for a ridiculous 2min until a car took me directly to the border, from where the first car took me straight to Tbilisi. Cars are really slow here and I assess the overall hitchability as insanely great! There is public transport from Vladikavkaz but I forgot which minibuses go there. Ask people or add it here.

Most car leave the airport by this road. There is a stop sign so they have to stop.

If it is sunny and not too late, give it a try, preferably with a sign.

I got a lift after 10-15 min, the guy dropped me at a suburb train station (RER), from there i paid 3.50 € to arrive to Paris.

Ask for a free Paris map at the info booth in Terminal 1 beforehand.

In case you fail, you can always walk back and take the 17 € bus.

DON'T GET OFF HERE!!!! I wanted to travel westbound (coming from Tabas, in the south), but there were only few cars and none stopped. The worst thing is the police checkpoint. They were bored and that's why bothered my for 2.5h hours, checking my passport. So you should either walk for a kilometre or so westbound or make a detour via Bardaskan.
Otherwise going south should be really easy.

Access to Lake Monowai and Borland Road. Little traffic even in main season, though fishing/hiking and DOC campground at Lake Monowai and Borland Lodge get some people in and out. But more importantly, SH99 sees very little traffic, be prepared for just 10 cars/hour even in main tourist season.

Exactly at this point, there is a good placec where car can stop. Before and after, there isn't or there is but not so safe.

End of round, so, slow trafic.

Parking in right side of road. Drivers are very big place for stop safely. And there is people parked in the parking. You can also speak with them.

Better to have a sign here.

Good but FAST trafic (be carrefull). Place to stop safely here.

A bit difficult but possible to arrive here by foot from RIVESALTES. Come by little road near D117 until you have not choice to walk in D117. You have to cross a bridge in D117 just before arrive here => BE EXTREMELY CARREFULL with trafic.

They are quite far to walk from the center of Laayoune but it is possibile and I saw a bus running there as well (I think it was number 3 and should cost around 2 Dirham, but better ask). The police didn't let me hitchhike because they thought it isn't save, but they quickly found a truck for me that was going all the way to Guelmim.

There usually are a couple of hitchhikers at the wall next to the city, but I tried there for several hours without much success. There is not much traffic going south and most drivers don't take you if you are not willing to pay. So walking out further helped me as the driver couldn't hope for paying hitchhikers after me anymore. There is a roundabout with space to stop for cars afterwards here (but you can try hitchhiking all the way here). Be careful of a guy living in an improvised hut directly at the road who started touching me sexually but was harmless after I told him that I am not interested and walked away.

Not the best place to wait, but it can do if you are around (the round about just before is ok to hitchhike but not too many cars going by). So you can walk a bit further to the highway, just before the entrance there is space for cars to stop if the traffic is not to heavy, and you will get more cars going by.

If you come from this or the other side of the Rhine(Rhein), you can use this place to go to the A3. You can walk from the ferry in the direction to A3 up to the mountain in the direction 'Aegidienberger Wald' or 'Rottbitze', and you can stay at all places on the way. Walk and take your thumb up or better your carton if you pass by a car.

The farry cost 0,90€ for one person. If you sitting in the car as a co-driver, you pay, too. 
http://www.rheinfaehre-linz-remagen.de/
the first goes at 6am and the last at 12pm.

maybe you can ask the people in the cars on the ferry of they going in the near to A3.

In the other directiion, you can arrive from the A3 and go to the other side of the river or the places in the near but you can't find a biger freeway in the near. just federal-roads.

Walk past the traffic lights and round the entry road. It's not perfect as some cars accelerate hard but it's possible.

As traffic coming from nearby towns is very light, you need to be here so you get all traffic combined together otherwise you risk waiting ages if you wait at traffic lights.

I wanted to cross the border to Latvia, many cars did stop but none of them were going to Latvia. It took one hour to finally find a truck that was heading there. But once we reached the border I had to change there because there was a huge truck queue. Still it took me 5 hours to cross. If you really want to cross the border with hitchhiking, better go to the gas station that is 50 meters in front of this spot. Cars stop there before crossing the border. This is what a local advised me. For nonsense reasons I didn't listen. Note that drivers may be reluctant to take hitchhikers aboard because it might complicate border controls for them. Talk to them and explain that all your documents are in order to cross.

So a truck brought me to the border but there was a huge queue. It could have taken more than a day to cross with him. So I waited for a car to come since controls are faster for them. But there are very very few of them and they seem to be reluctant to pick up hitchhikers to the border due to possible control complications. So I had to cross with a truck ahead on the queue (them too were reluctant for the same reasons). It took about 4-5 hours to complete all border controls.
So if you want to cross the border I rather advise you to go by bus or train or by car with sombody you know.

Sortie de la ville. Au niveau d'une épicecrie, une boulangerie et une pizzeria. Il vous faut un peu marcher depuis le centre de Foix pour arriver jusque là. Mais l'endroit est bon. 

Très bon trafic croulant à vitesse modérée. Les automobilistes vous voient de loin.

That's an Agip service station right after the border (keep in mind: there's one in Liechtenstein as well, but noone will take petrol there going to Austria where it's much cheaper). From Vaduz you can take bus 11 (rarely a control on it) which goes all the way to Feldkirch - alternatively hitch from the border where you can find plenty of trucks.

Hitching here sucks and is dangerous. 
On one exit just across the large adult store the cars are going too fast and the only rides you'll get is from creeps at the store (have your knives ready)

The other exit is slow so people have time to consider picking you up, but there's hardly any traffic and people in the area I'm told will not pick up hitchhikers. Waited here 2.5 days.

You should come to bus station "dachna" just after intercross near Zhytomyrska metro station. There you can catch a bus that goes to suburbs and ride for 5 km, go out on Stoyanka station. Then you need to walk for 500 metres to a small petrol station of TNK company. There will be a sign with "Stoyanka" crossed. You will see it.

probably this spot was meant to be at the nearby parking which is on the other side of the motorway.It's called Kolberg and even so there's no service or gas station it is a good point to hitchhike. If you're coming from this area it's best to ask a friend to drive you there to start hitchhiking. A lot of people stop there due to traffic which is always high in this area.
It will not be a problem to find a direct lift to the ring of Berlin or even further to poland etc.

I tried to hitch a ride from somwhere here to moscow. It was quite difficult and I couldn't really find a good place to stand. It's probably best to stand at some of the cross walks. It was also not really worth it to walk on towards the hill to make use of the natural slow down. There's less space and cars are as fast.

While seeing the huge traffic jam going up the hill I tried to get a lift to Nizhny Novgorod from there. After about 20 minutes I just decided to walk along the traffic jam searching eye contact with some driver and stuck out my thumb. That worked pretty well, however walking was the same speed :D TAKE CARE! The hard shoulder can become very dangerous in Russia!

Good place for me if you want to Linz and Munich, cos truck drivers sleep here. But for stopping cars its very bad cos trucks occupied all right line so cars cannot make it to my side, better is try it btw 4-6 when traffic jam coming and the pick up someone for exit.

Nice spot with moderate car traffic and theres a place to stop. Some CZE drivers driving to home from work (Plzeň) and some of GER drivers drive out for cheap alcohol and cigarettes near borders presumably, so I recommend someone who will take you directly in some bigger city. Its nice city, I recommend take a rest here, small so 1 hrs. should be ok to see all of stuff here.

You can get here by BUS n.10 (get out in the Cranachweg/Kowe station, price 2.30E) Theres place where a car can stop and when red come on lights, safely can return back on slip road. Stay near sidewalk cos cars coming from both sides so you can better show your paper-signs.

Good spot there, moderate traffic toward Nové Strašecí (on way to PRG) and someone also goes to PRG directly. Up by the way is one more line for trucks (because its up to hill) and its long, so car can safely pick up you. Trees are near road so if sun is high on sky you will be still cool with that. Also if no one can pick you, get rest by just going down to town, straight by the street, there´s museum and park with small river and many benches.

Comfy place here, BUS stop, nice park behind you. Also city circle isn't built yet so there´s big traffic jam at morning and evening almost each day so drivers literally stop on road and have a time to look at you an decide whether yes or not to pick up you. If no, just take BUS to PCE. It you get tired, or you need to sleep, try altan in middle of park, U can just take a nap with only sleeping pad cos its covered by roof.

/!\\ Difficult access /!\\
From the metro station "Puerta del Sur", walk down the "Avenida de Leganés" (south-east) till the crossroad. (~750m)
from there, keep walking on the M406 till the start of the bridge above the R-5.
Cross the fence, and get down the very steep hill. It can be very slippery, so take care!
Once your down, you just need to walk till the gas station, 100m away at the west.
Though there's much traffic, most of the cars will be going toward west, on the A-5.

It's possible to rely only on good luck to get a ride to Peru, when taking local rides is not recommended except you are ok walking few days and camp. 
After 50-60 km south from Vilcabamba, there is no paved road up to the border and dirt road is usually in a bad condition due to rains, sometimes even closed.

There is a 24-hours gas station at the exit of town that can be reached walking from the town.

Except taxis there is low local traffic. No trucks. Locals wants money (transportation is a popular business here), but it's possible to negotiate and even ask for a free ride.
My best was to get a ride for 3 soles (less than $1) to Jaen at 9pm. On the way driver took a lot of usual passengers, so part of a ride I spent in a trunk among huge luggage.

Trucks are going from East to the coast direction. During the afternoon there were not a lot of them. I suppose more trucks are passing during the evening and night time, because of the hot weather.

The road side is good enough for cars to stop. There is a shadow from the hill. Be ready that a ride to Chiclayo will be long. Despite less than 300km of distance, trucks need up to 10 hours to make it by the mountain road. (+time for stops).

After my conversation with policeman, he left me on the same spot without problems. It seems that he took care just about my security. There is a strange district of the town  In front of the place.

I was heading to Serbia, and got a ride to Skopje after 5 minutes. Early morning on working days.

Stand immediately after the roundabout, cars are fairly slow and the lane is quite large.

Bus stop in front of round-about. OK for getting on the A4 highway or into Zwickau if you've been dropped off at the highway exit. Having a sign with A4 and DD (east), EF (west), or Z (Zwickau) helps.

This spot is appropriate for hitchhiking towards Šabac and Valjevo (south) and towards Ruma or Novi Sad (north), especially if you are coming form Sremska Mitrovica. If you are heading south you should stand on parking spot near the local bar and if you are planing to go north you can stand near the bus stop across the road.

There is a bus stop here and a small shop in about front if you need something. From here, you can go the easiest to Pécs or Mohács. I travelled to Pécs, be sure that you don't stay exactly in the Bus station, since drivers has enough space to stop after the station and you isolate yourself from the passengers.

Decent spot to go towards Bergerac (not much space but cars can still stop) but probably best to walk further out.

Spot acceptable pour aller vers Bergerac, juste après le rond-point, un petit espace où les voitures peuvent s'arrêter, mais préférable de marcher un peu plus loin vers les ronds-points suivants

If you hitch-hike in the direction to Uherské Hradiště or Brno, it is a great spot for you. There is a turning lane from the Benzina petrol station, where you can stand with your sign heading on passing cars. Many people go to Brno from this road, so you should not wait too long. Cars are driving quite fast here, but somebody always stops.

There is a bus stop which is a great spot if you go to Brno or Praha. If a driver goes only to Brno and you want to continue to Praha (or just not to go to Brno and continue on D1), it is the best place to be dropped as there no petrol stations or good spots on D1 before a turning to the city. The waiting depends on day, but it generally pretty good. You usually get a lift pretty fast (in few minutes) on Sunday afternoon as many people are going back to Praha or Brno.

This spot should work also for the direction Vyškov and Olomouc, but I have not tried it yet. If you have, please just confirm.

Roads to chengdu and sichuan. Great spot to hitchhike! Unfortunatly i don't remember the bus who go there. I think it's 315 but i'm not sur, you can take from the west avenue. It's around 30mn to go there by bus. You have to exit 1 or 2 stop after the tv tower on your left. You can not miss it, so ifyou are not sur it's the tv tower you see,  It's not the tv tower. Then keep walking same direction as the bus (or go back on your feet if you past under the highway in the bus)Then you have to walk along the road who go to the toll gate. There is a sign "forbidden to pedestrian" but nobody care and chinese also walk along that road. It's not dangerous and only around 100m walking to the toll gate. I find a 300km drive in 10mn, a lot of place for car to stop, they drive slowly and can see you.

A decent spot if you get dropped on the way to/from HK and wanna get to Chrudim. The traffic is kinda light, the curve you're standing in can get almost blind in the summer from one direction (high corn field) and there's not much space for the cars to stop. Still hitchable though.

I was hitchhiking from the bridge. One car stopped on the other side of the road and took me to Vyborg. The driver said the place was not a good one since there is almost no place for cars to stop by. So I would advise you trying hitchhiking from the nearby bus stop. However, the bus traffic is rather dense here.

Sagunt

A big station known by truckers and visited by tourists and families.
Best place to hike north (Zaragoza or Barcelona and France) from Valencia.
(This is exact location of Sagunt, direction north.)

Getting here requires some time and knowledge:

Go from Valencia to Puçol(Puzol) by...
A) a yellow bus 115A (1,55€) or
B) a train C6 from Station Nord (around 20min, 2,65€).
Once in Puzol, ask for the roundabout (redonda) on the "carretera de Barcelona". Here is a cheap supermarket. Go on north on CV306. Pass under a bridge, go on 50m where is a small road on the left with a "stop" sign. Take it. On the righ side you have orange trees of Els arenas (with a little little swimming pool). The road takes you under a second bridge, than you go on 2km north along the highway on the left and mandarine and orange orchards on the right until you get to the Sagunt station.
Circa 40 minutes of walking (with supermarket and oranges, mandarines, cactus fruit, figs - depending on a season).

(Description is based on Amede74's note and Seminko's experience)

If you are staying at the campsite and want to go south towards Banff this is the best stop. Stand right where the shoulder reaches it maximum width so that cars coming from Jasper and the campground have a good visual on you and enough room to stop behind. I hitchhiked together with another guy and it took about an hour until someone stopped. If you are going by yourself it'll be even easier to get a ride.

A gas station on the local road number 18 which goes south through Delemont and almost to La-Chaux-De-Fonds. A great road to be taking if you are going to Geneva as it gives you some time to relax from the cities and highways and enjoy the nature and meet great people.

From here you can ask people to drop you as much down the road as you can. You should be trying to get out of the city so it's easier to catch a ride. Ask on the station or thumb on the road, the choice is yours.

You can reach this spot with a D bus from Geneva. There doesn't seem to be any control and the bus driver opens the back doors.

This spot is technically good but we waited for more then an hour and finally someone stopped. You should try it out and let us know.

From here it's good to hitch for the entrance of the highway ("autoroute entrence" in French) towards South.

Good spot to find rides for both north and south. It's a few meters in front of the A7 highway toll booths. Cards and trucks should have enough space to pull over and you are visible enough for most people to notice you.

If your plan is to go to Lyon this is not the place you should be hitchhiking at as most people take the blue highway. The few people that did stop for us said this is not the way for Lyon and that nobody takes it.

Place to catch a car from Viking Line to Helinki.

if you didnt succeed to find a driver on the ferry,when they open the gangway-RUN all the way down to this place and you'll catch the cars leaving the ferry.it turns out there are plenty of drivers who take cabins to get some sleep even if its the day ferry.
P.S the gangway is situated ino the "viking cruises" building on the left. if you took the wrong road and stucked in front of the railway-just jump over it-it's not functioning!

Un bon endroit où il est facile de partir pour Angers et où les voitures peuvent s'arrêter tranquillement.

Not really sure if it is allowed to HH there, but getting on the side of the motorway is easy and cars can stop on the few meters quick resting spot. Not the best spot though, as mostly trucks with Gdansk registration drive by in quite low frequencies. Waited around 45 min to an hour go get to south/Ostroda. Easy reachable by tram 8, just walk by and pass Lotos gas station (maybe an alternative, but I did not see many cars stopping there)

Great spot to go west of direction Wrocław. There is a Bus stop where you could stay easy with a sign. We had one with Katowice and got a ride to the last petrol station bevor Katowice in about 15 min. You could get there easy with Tram. Take a tram to Station Salwator and walk a bit further in direction of the Tram until a big traffic junction and turn right. On the left is also a petrol station where you could ask people or at least buy you good morning sandwich.

If it's raining, you can explore the motel area, where you can find a nice pedestrian bridge linking two buildings one to another, and I slept just beneath it. The next day, it took me 10 mins to find a direct ride to Verona, in Italy.

I have seen people hitchhiking from here to get on the AP-9 highway. I would not recommend to try it here. Cars are coming from different directions, there are curves and there is not really much space for cars to stop. I would rather try 100 meters before the bridge. Still you will encounter a lot of local traffic. Good luck.

That round about connect Larnaca at the coast, Nicosia at the interior ,Larnaca Airport and Limassol at the west and Agia Napa at the east.

The highway goes under the roundabout, so is hard tog et that kind of cars, but all cars which go through the roundabout will go more slowly. 

I sued mostly to go Agia Napa, never more than 10 minutes waiting. Is the entrance of the highway so go careful when walking. On that side of the road, at left after some big plants which hide the cars view, there is some margin on the road enough for a car who wants to stop to do it. 

You can wait there having some space of visibility, or stay in the intersection of the cats who came from the roundabout or directly from Nicosia road, the cars from round about they are really slow but they can't really stop.  

To get there you can hitchhike from the city asking to take you out, never tried in Larnaca but in Nicosia works well. Or manage to arrive the closest bus stop 'Acropoleos Avenue 1' numbers 417 ,454 409,415

At the entrance of the highway direction to Larnaca in that case (cross the bridge for another direction). Just before the entrance there is a oil station but facing agia napa, and a bus stop and a lot of space to stop, but my experience is better when I hit my feet into the exit road. Cars from highway they are too fast but there is small chance to them to stop.   If you are in Agia Napa you can walk here, but Iit will take some time, you can hitchike around the road in any bus stop, it work fine for me. Bus stop closer is from Nissi avenue, 101 or 102 is and example.

You can have a good eye communication with the drivers because they pass close to you for your left and also for your right. The traffic is affluent and the cars are slowing down. It's better to use a sign.

I have hitchhiked north from this spot multiple times. Even with two people I never had to wait more than 30 minutes. Go all the way to the gas station or stop even before, so that people may see you earlier. There is a traffic light which means traffic is slow half of the times. When I was there in early September 2015, maintenance was going on beside the road, making it easier using the right lane for hitchhiking. There also is a Tim Hortons right across the street.

I think this spot is the best to go to A6 north, you can wait just near the traffic lights, and drivers can pull off on the bus line so there are not bothering other cars. Buses come every 5 minutes, so there is some time for real hitchhiking. A sign with A6/Peage definitively helps. If you can get a ride to Villefranche peage or the gas station on the A6 near Limonest, then you can find a car going further!

I have tried this place numerous times, and it works perfectly. People have space to pull off, and have time to see you. I usually get a ride to Annecy, but you have to ask to be left at the toll station (Peage), or you will have some difficulties to find your way back to the highway! People are mainly going to Annecy with the high speed road (free contrary to the highway), but the end point of this one is just near the north toll to the highway so drivers are usually okay to drop there.

I always send my guests to this place (Parkplatz Varrelheide) and they all said it was great. 

To reach it take a tram to Noltemeyerbrücke and from there Bus 631 until "An den Deichwiesen" if you travel eastwards or a stop further until "Franz-Steineke-Weg" if you want to travel towards west.

I hitched from here to Leh (and back) just after the road was opened, it was fantastic. I thought I must start early to make it to Leh in one day, but that's wrong, u better take your time for that trip, there are so many camps in stunning locations where you can sleep, eat and continue the next day. With private cars (many indian tourists) or a truck. Best road I ever hitched

Entrance to the National Park. There are different fees depending on how high into the mountains you want to go. We just bought the cheapest and went up all the way anyway. Hitchhiking into the NP might take a while but is totally possible. The view is fantastic. Getting back might be an issue as there is extremely little traffic in the evening (2 cars/h). That was after the end of the Macedonian school holidays.

Fairly decent spot if you are heading down to Regina. There was a construction going on in early September 2015 so cars were going at slow speeds. Take the number 17 bus towards Stonebridge and get off at Hunter/Senick. There is a fence you have to climb over in order to reach the Highway but it's not too hard.

I've hitchhiked from the services at Stansted Airport twice, both times waiting about 20 minutes, but had cars apologizing that they were going the wrong direction. Having a sign is an absolute must. (The staff at the restaurants are very friendly and gave me cardboard and wished me luck) The truckers I spoke to were very kind and helped me out by taking me all the way to Leicester, but you can really get most places from here. The actual exit isn't that great of a spot so I suggest going to the gas station exit where there's plenty of room to stop and you're very visible to drivers leaving and it's also opposite the trucker parking.

FERRY LIFT: alright, this is the place where you wanna go if you're looking for a free lift on the ferry. Coming from Tangier, if you get dropped at the passenger terminal roundabout, don't go left, cause that's the passenger terminal and you don't need to do anything there, don't go right where you see the truck sign cause that's just a parking lot I guess, GO STRAIGHT, where it seems like you shouldn't go, but that's where you want to go, walk a couple of kms, you'll get to the place where trucks are scanned before boarding (on the right hand side). There you'll find all the trucks waiting, start asking all the drivers for a lift to Algeciras, remind them they are allowed to take one more passenger on the truck for free, the port staff is friendly, won't give you any trouble.
It took us just 15 minutes to find a ride for me and my girlfriend, it was a three drivers turkish company, they were happy to take us with them. 
Alright, second step, getting your passport stamped, that's the hard part, before entering the scanning area, you need to pass through this toil boot-looking gates, where you'll need to go to the customs office on the left and get your passport stamped. there may be different officers, the one that was on shift got us into tight jams, he didn't want to stamp our passports, we told him we were trying to hitch hike a ride because we didn't have any money, and that what we were doing was totally legal, he said he didn't have the permission to do it, and told us to go to the main police office at the passenger terminal (that's a long walk), if it happened to you, DEMAND him to call his chief and INSIST ON IT, otherwise you'll have to go all the way back to the terminal. After half an hour we finally got our passports stamped and green light to go.
Third step, long wait for the truck to be scanned, and for the drivers to get all their papers, took us HOURS. Finally we could leave and go to the embarkation place, but be aware that tourists cars have the priority on boarding, so trucks will have to wait till there's room left on one of the ferries.
At the end of the day, it took us just 15 minutes to find a ride but 7 hours before  touching spanish land (the ferry is just one hour). 
NB: trucks pay several hundreds of euros for the ferry (12 hundred my truck), so hitchhikers being passengers usually get one free meal on board.

Probably the best spot for hitchhiking out of Thunder Bay. Traffic is slow cause of the lights with a gravel shoulder to pull over. You also get traffic from the 102 going east. One thing that needs to be noted is that there is a no pedestrian sign there. If you don't wish any anger with the cops I'd probably stand in front of it. Got a ride within 7 minutes taking me all the way to Marathon.

Good place for going south to Zvornik, Bajina Basta or Uzice. You can catch vehicles which go to both roads (through Banja Koviljaca or around).

Perfect spot in direction to Zlatibor, Kokin Brod or Montenegro. Just under the bridge. You can pick up drives from Uzice, but also vehicles that don't pass through the city. Common place for locals.

A lot of space for vehicles to slow down and stop. Buses stop here regulary, as well. Direction Uzice, Zlatibor, Bosnia, Montenegro.

Right after the bridge, turn to the right and you will see the spot just after the junction. Good if you are heading to Poland. There is Enough space for cars to stop and good visibility. Plenty of polish truck drivers who will be happy to take you with them! Waited 10 min.

well we just asked drivers on our way walking by.
if your driver going north, he could take you out of town, if your driver goes direction Kraków, he can take you to the junction and you just can continue north of the junction, when heading to Radom, Warszawa.

over here, but also the next km or more ... there's enough space for cars to stop along the road...
we hitch hiked without a sign and waited 30min to get a ride to Nowa Deba, we got dropped off over there, as our driver went to Kraków, but was so nice to drive us to that point.

hitch hiking to Radom Warszawa.
many local traffic, but they're slow because of the roundabout. - we just showed the WWA - sign just when we saw a car from Warszawa coming arround the roundabout.
spot is ok, there's no space for trucks to stop. but a car stopped after30min and took us to Warszawa

Stacja benzynowa zaraz za Łukowem. Na tej drodze chyba jedna z najlepszych opcji, nie ma przystanków ani miejsca zeby autko mogło zjechać. ;)

Przystanek zaraz za zjazdem z autostrady w stronę Siedlec. Jeżeli kierowca jedzie tylko do Kałuszyna, poproś, żeby zostawił Cię na tym przystanku, bo z Kałuszyna nie ma jak wyjechać.

Bus stop after exit from motorway to Siedlce. You should choose this bus stop if you want to go to Siedlce, but driver is going only to Kaluszyn, 'cause its hard to exit this city :)

Jeśli chcesz kontynuować jazdę do Mińska Mazowieckiego, musisz przejść się z ostatniego przystanku przed zjazdem na A2 tutaj. To jest przystanek zaraz za rondem ;)

If you want to continue your travel to Minsk Mazowiecki, you should walk to this bus station from last bus stop  before motorway enter :)

It was not such a good idea to hitchhike here; although the traffic was dense enough, no car stopped for about an hour and a half.

The common place to stand at if you go towards Alba Iulia/Aiud/Câmpeni. There might be a lot of commuters which increases the chance of the driver expecting money from you.
