The spot looks good with lots of traffic, just after a junction so not too fast, good visibility, and enough time and space for drivers to really consider you before stopping. 

However no one will stop! We (2 ppl) had a sign asking to go only to the next service station down the A7, and we waited for 5 hours without any success. Maybe it's because this is a spot for prostitutes... There was also another hitchhiker up at the gas station who waited for looong.

Took me around one hour to get a ride to the next petrol station on A7. Most of the people are here already on the highway. Try to hike before or after.

Though it looks like a good spot, it seems it is not. I waited for two hours, which is pretty unusual for my standards (I don't look like a hippie...). I think its good to have a sign indicating the distance like ("A7 12km")

my fav in dd (i live around the corner)! i hitchhiked very often to berlin from here. i waited from 1 minute (sunny weather) til 30 minute (heavy snowing). i often stand before the shell petrol station, but asking the drivers direcly at the petrol station is also a good idea. it's also a good starting point for going to leipzig, chemnitz and further west and south (bavaria, austria, italy, france, spain). you should ask for the raststätte dresdner tor near wilsdruff. there you can change the car easily.

in winter 2012 i waited also one hour or more - surprising. one day it was about 15 degrees celsius under zero (maybe people didn't want to open the door because of the cold). the other day was the day after a huge antifascist demonstration but only local elderly people were around. maybe the berlin antifascists didn't start early enough for my plans (2 or 3 pm)

well after waiting some weeks ago 10minutes on sunday... i made a not that good experience yesterday (tuesday) 1:30PM... waited for 2,5hours... my impression: there is much more traffic on working days... i saw also many cars with berlin licence plates... but every car on the wrong lane never had the chance to stop... met some guys who went to petrol station to HH 1h our after me and they already got their ride to berlin before i got my ride with the sign on that spot....

Was headed to Munich, but got here at night. There's a streelight that should provide enough light to make you and your sign visible. Took an hour to get a ride, after a few people stopped/slowed down to see where I was heading.

Lots of cars headed north avoid using the highway in Austria, since they have to pay for a vignette. This is where they rejoin on the German side.

Yes, there are not many people in the gas station, but there are some people around the restaurant and Burger King. And a far amount of people does go on longer distance rides, not so much local traffic anymore. In my experience the best service station in southern madrid (hitched this route 3 times now)

You can get to this petrol station (repsol) by public transport+on foot. Get a cercanías (metropolitan train) from Atocha or a metro (around 2 euros), jump of at El Casar. Walk to the east for about 20 minutes. 

January 2011 they were building a new neigbourhood, but it was easy to jump the fence and cross without anybody saying anything.

I used this spot many times to hitch a ride to my hometown (Kecskemét), about 90 kilometers to the South of Budapest. I never had to wait more than 20 minutes. Once I got a lift from the very first car that came. I think it all depends on the sign you use. Beware that when the bus comes, the drivers won't (can't) stop!

I stood few meters back on the corner of petrol station so that cars came out on my right and passed by (slowed down) on my left. Went to St Albans (west) (had my sign) and nobody seemed to go there - got picked up by a guy who had just come from there and was kind enough to make a big detour. However I saw many drivers pointing east and many of the drivers questioned in the petrol station before that mentioned Cambridge. So that direction might be much luckier.

Really good place, with Grenoble Panel we caught a car in 10min.

How to rich this place? easy! you just need to hitchhike from Burger Kings, you will probably say there is not enough space for cars to stop but don't worry because French doesn't care too much about laws, they will stop for you and block the way in some senses but it's doable in 5min

It's a peage (toll). Very good towards the north but don't let people drop you before Montlucon. You'll get stuck there with people only going back to the South or truckers going North-East.

I had to get back to the peage before going further. (Got the same driver twice in-a-row though; one of the hitchhiker's goals)

A better option than the bus 20 is the bus 33 towards "Saint-Beauzire", it drops you off at the turnaround North-East of here, 600m away (stop "Biopole"). If you're in the center of Clermont you can either pick it up at a stop not far from the Cathedral, or an easier landmark would be the museum Roger Quilliot (confirm the direction with the driver when you board the bus, it's "St-Beauzire").
Wouldn't be a good idea to stand right in the middle of the road, you can stick to the side, on the sidewalk and this way you'll have no problem with the staff. The visibility is good enough and it's AFTER the toll so people have already stopped and have the time to notice you; you'll be picked up in no time !

I got very lucky, the first guy I asked was going to Dombas, 200km south of Trondheim. Otherwise i think its quite hard to get a lift here past Oslo. North of the gas station is a perfect place to camp near a freshwater lake.

Still roadworks - so where the road goes back from one-lane traffic to the normal highway is the perfect spot for hitchhiking towards the toll booths and Budapest (it's a 20 minute walk though on the highway). Used a sign (RAMPA) and got a lift to the toll booths within five minutes.

Great spot to hitchhike to Bayonne. Got a lift after one minute directly to this city. Once arrived in the last stop of bus n°50, come back to the same way to the first intersection. Then turn left to the direction of the highway. Go straight at the roadabout and take the bridge above the highway. After the bridge take the first road on left to get on the highway. Right after the peage there is a parking where trucks stop. Ask drivers!

I already had hitchhiked here to go from Odense to Copenhagen two times. The first one with a girl (i´m a boy, btw), and for been our first time we end up walking down to the highway (where is illegal to hitchhike) but anyways after 10 minutes someone picked us up to Slagelse. the driver called us "crazy" for being hitchhiking there and called himselve "crazy" for picking us up there, because both things are illegal. But no matter, sometimes you will not have options and you will end up having to hitchhike on the highways and the people still will pick you up (at least it has been happening to me).
The second time that I hitchhiked in this way I was alone and just after arriving, 3 minutes waiting, and a BMW picked me up straight to CPH.
I recorded some videos showing this spots during my trips, you can watch them to get some more information or see this spots. If you do, just type on youtube something like "leo carona" + "hitchhiking from odense to copenhagen" and voi là. Good luck!

Alright, last weekend I tried hitchhiking here again but this time with more 3 friends but it took about 2h30min until someone pick us up towards Koge. But I believe it took so long because we were 4 dudes. And of course the first car stopped and picked up 2 of us, and soon (it probably became easier as now it was only 2 hitchhiking) a second car stopped for the other 2 guys. I still think this is a very good spot, even though I never tried others to go in this direction ;)

I forgot to mention: when you hitchhike here at least during the summer around 4 pm or later, you have the sun hitting your eyes. It's very uncomfortable and you tend to make expressions as if you were mad but it might be better than putting sun glasses on what stops you of doing eye contact with the drivers (what is important when hitchhiking, I think)

I would say that this spot during normal days most of the time of the year is okay, but during festivities this is a criminal place.

Hey guys for me It's a great spot. Best ride I ever had,I was standing under the sign( mention in the description)saying "Prague" it is safe but a bit difficult to reach check weel the map. and if you are going there by bus tell the driver which  place you are going and make him understand you are hitchhiking, for me it helped. After 10 min. late in the afternoon, whether was not very good a car stopped and strait to Prague. The girl that was driving was caring two people that were carpooling and one was going to Prague and I when at the same hostel(I didm't have one) and the driver brought us AT the hostel in the center of Prague seriously she waled in the hostel with us!! But remember it can be luck!
But good luck and have a great hitch!!

Might be a bit tricky to reach from Berlin, Hauptbanhof. To get there take S7 in the direction of Potsdam and either take E23/33 from "Wannsee" or take the bus (ask the information office which number you have to take) to Michendorf Banhof and exit two stations after that station, then walk for about two kilometers and you are there.

It's a great spot with many opportunities, I would definitely recommend this spot to everyone!

Use this spot to change cars if you're coming from the west and want to go further than Hannover.
I even met two fellow hitch-hikers (one of them with a dog!) who found cars to Berlin really, really fast.

At first I hitched by the red light at the corner, but after 10 minutes I began walking to the autobahn entrance (where the  green autobahn sign is).  A car stopped before I even had my thumb out!  Perfect :)

Just a side note, the Shell Petrol Stop around the corner has a recycle bin for cardboard, and, when I was there, some packaged sandwiches in the other bin.  Yum!

It's a pretty good spot for west, easy to get here by public transportation, 
Danhaven bus top (#10 & 133) is just 5 min away. A Danish hitchhiker recommended me this spot, he was saying he usually waits 30 min for a ride to Aarhus. I waited a bit longer but started at 18:40 hours. He also recommended staying a bit after the highway sign, just where the emergency lane begins and that's what I did; although cars speed up there is a traffic light near so they don't go THAT fast and have time to see you, a big sign might be an advantage.

September 2014. Cars are going quite fast at this point. After around 40 minutes here a driver stopped and offered a very short ride which we rejected. Right after that another hitchhiker appeared. While we were figuring out where else we could hitch, the other hher was trying his luck. After not a long time the police appeared and said it was forbidden to hitch here. After that we all decided to get a train from Ny Ellebjerg in direction Koege to Karlslunde and hitch from the gas station along the highway there.

If you are hitchhiking towards France the border security will be unpleasant towards you, so I hitchhiked from the parking lot hoping people in the cars would see me, it took around 10-20min to get a ride to Lyon.

It seems like the only legal and quiet stop to hitch there is the "CHANGE" inlet between both borders. Sadly, not many people actually stop, because it means pulling over on the left side (to a safe parking lot). When I finally got a ride, it was a direct one to Zurich though. Saw another hitcher headed to France there.

a really good spot to go south. In the direction of Paris. It s possible to reach by going through the little town along the highway. There s a little way parallel to it. Though then you have to cross a fence to reach the petrol station. About 2m high though easy to climb. I did it that way since there s no space to walk right next to the highway, so it s dangerous to walk on the highway. It s about 1-2 km from the entrance of the highway. From the center, it s possible to take the metro till Stalle and walk the rest. It s maybe 45 min of walking..

As we didn't speak French that good , we decided to stand by the exit of petrol station with a sign to Lille (FR). Wasn't a good idea. After half-an-hour spent there we went back and 15 minutes later got a car from petrol station directly to Lille. (2 people)

Twice I was dropped there while reaching the st-arnoult toll. Everytime I thought this spot would significate the end of my journey, twice I finally found a car in less than 40 minutes (40 min once and 25 min the second time). If this nightmare happens to you, don't hitch on the roundabout. Instead, hichhhike at the acceleration lane just after the roundabout. Most important : when someone take you at pont de sevres and say to you I know a good spot at villeziers (or the first time, "a good spot just before the motorway"), don't accept the offer or try a gas station (I personally prefer to wait at pont de sevres)

I arrived here on a monday on January the 5th. The sun was shining and there was no snow outside. Stood here between 8 am and noon. But do not be alarmed by that! There needn't be that much waiting! 
   The day I was here it was a bridge day, and the cars who would make the long journey from Stockholm to, say, Malmö, probably left the day after my visit. 
   I asked a lot of cars, every car that pulled in to be more exact, except the ones who were going north for sure that pulled of the E4's (i.e. the highway) northern lane. Asked a handful or more of truckers also. Everyone that I asked were heading north, most of them to Norrköping, a few to Stockholm and some just in a north-direction. 
   At about 11 am more cars were coming in, and I turned down a ride to Jönköping that I didn't feel safe about. At noon I managed to, at the same time (magical powers), find two separate cars that were going to Jönköping. Since my ability to split myself in two hasn't been fully developed I kindly went along with one of the rides, but I must say that I felt very safe with both of the companies from the smaller conversations we had.
   This is a good spot to stand at. I'd stand here again if I'm in Norrköping. A driver told me that he usually pulled over here when he was going from Stockholm to Malmö and recommended it as the best place to be standing at. Recommended by the drivers themselves in other words!

P.S.
If you are in Norrköping and want to head out here, a sign reading "Klinga" would suffice, I think. The interchange is named Trafikplats Klinga, which translates Interchange Klinga. The person who gave me a ride here grew up in Norrköping and was talking to a friend trying to figure out where this place was and then said "Oh. Aha. It's Klinga" with a tone that gave me the impression that you know what I'm talking about if I say (or have written) Klinga if you are from Norrköping.
D.S.

P.S.2.
Ask people! This is in general a much easier way to find rides in Sweden. People are usually very friendly here if you are just polite, say "Sorry to bother you, but I'm trying to find a ride to..." or something like that, with a smile. 
D.S.2.

P.S.3.
The journey from Stockholm takes approx. 2 hours with car to Norrköping. That is good to have in mind if you are trying to find rides that are heading to Jönköping or longer. Jönköping is good place to be dropped at if you have a more southern destination. Accept rides to Jönköping if you can! And be dropped off at Motell Vätterleden (with a Preem petrol-station) if possible. This is before Jönköping, but there is more traffic, you stand along the highway, trucks pull in here, etc. etc. etc. In Jönköping it's quite hard to hitchhike if you are going further. 
D.S.3.

The place is easy to find as all you have to do is get to Ikea and then go through the tunnel towards the t-bana.

If you're going south or west I suppose this is one of the best places to hitch from. Getting here is very easy (you just get to ikea and then walk 5 minutes) it's easy for cars to stop, there's alot of trucks and cars drive relatively slow (although not slow enough for a sign to be efficient).

As mentioned in previous comments it is a great place to start Hitchhiking North. After sitting at the Gas Station exit for ~2 h I've deiced that it might be the right time to start hitch-hiking on the highway itself... for some reason police did not pay any notice and it took additional 4 h to move from this spot. 

The fact that I was a guy might explain a lot...

Had "Netherlands" written on my cardboard and at least on 3 occasions Moroccans stopped by and offered to buy some hash from them...

you also can get there by local train, going to montluel, it's 3,80 if you not older than 25yrs old, otherwise 5€, but bus seems to be cheaper

not a nice place to hitchhike, but you will find something. a lot of local trafic, a HUGE parking place, place to eat, gasstation. becouse all the food places are on this side of the road most people stopping here are still going north in stead of south. after 1,5 hour i finally found a ride. and it did take me all the way to the end of the A1 to a metro station in lausanne.

There are loads of people going to the surroundings or just to Bern which makes it a little bit difficult, but in fact there are so many people that you just HAVE TO find sme going to e.g. Zürich or Winterthur. Especially because there are some trucks. As I arrived at the evening I met three further groups of hitchhikers and they were all staying not too long. Very motivating experience!

Best is to take the risk and work right on the motorway. For Ljubljana I gotta walk past the other two major turns to Split and Maribor.

I used this spot many times and it's preaty good. Take the bus 34 direction Valentin, stop at "échangeur valentin" then go to the direction of the Mc Donald (you see it) using the pietonal tunnel and you will see the peage. If you don't like the peages you can write "Baume-les-dames", then for sure you will go in less than 5 minutes, and stop in the motorway station of Marchaux, 10km. it's a big station with a pietonal bridge so you can go in the two directions, here the peoples makes longer distances than the peage.

From the trainstation it takes approx. 40min. After I was there for more than an hour the staff told me to leave until the beginning of the motorway. They have a lot of hitchhikers there so be nice to the employees and try to make it reasonable that you are standing there. ¡Buena suerte!

Just go by tram 6 or 8 to the stop Osová, then take bus Nr. 69 to the stop Čermákova, cross the street Elišky Přemyslovny and go up the street Čermákova. You cross the railway and then just before the D1 hike the slope on the left side. You have to walk about 100 m along the highway to reach this OMV gas station.

first guy we asked took us to Prag in his Audi :) Wed. 3.7.13 at 11:30

have been lucky here before in October 2012, when I didn't even get a chance to go to the restroom yet but WAS asked »are you a hitchhiker?«! - that guy took me 815km to Bremen (I drove half the way)!

Honestly? This place sucks balls but there's no better (legal) place so you don't have much of a choice. First of all, it's a huge pain in the ass to get there. I took a bus to the Vyhlídalova bus stop (north of the station) and walked from there. I had to cross a small brook and climb over a fence of the orchard (the big green thing around the gas station). Owner of the orchard was obviously pissed at hitchhikers crossing his property so he threw a huge pile of the worst shit you can imagine (probably distillery waste - rotting apple grind, some actual shit, trash...) in front of the only way out of the orchard (a small hole in the fence. On one side of the hole was a 5 meter wall, on the other high spiky bush). You can be smarter and use the Podsedky street to get around the orchard. Anyway, when I got to the petrol station and cleaned myself a bit, I tried to hitchhike some car leaving the station. After 30 minutes I got tired and went in front of the station, catching cars off the highway (not particularly safe nor legal but it was getting late and I sure as hell didnt wanna go back the same way I came there) - luckily, being a girl and using a sign, I caught a car to Prague in like two minutes. So.. Yeah, a nice spot, but be prepared for some frustration and adrenaline.

P.S. to the comment above: The driver was mad at me at first and gave me a ten minutes scolding for hitchhiking on such a dangerous place (I was standing on the 'spike' between the highway and the access road to the petrol station). But hey, he stopped, I got a lift, we then talked a laughed all the way to Prague and no one got hurt :)

Good spot, most of the cars go in Strasbourg direction but it is possible to get a ride to Paris. If you come from the centre, it's worth asking someone to bring you here and then continue because thanks to the péage cars slow down here and there's huge place to stop. Stand just after the péage gates, next to the road!

If you are two persons it will be hard for you (my case boy and girl) and specially in summer, lot of people going to Turkey and Syria with full cars, the real meaning of a full car! not even space to breath, anyway my advices is to separate and take trucks if you are two.

A lot of traffic in line to get into the "Autopista" I had a big sign to go to Alicante. After one hour of cars passing by, a couple of brothers that stopped in the gas station (not the ones in line to the autopista) saw me and talked to me.

The only question is which service station is best out of three to continue towards Vienna, Linz/Salburg or Ljubljana or Zagreb. Service station Gralla in Austria, the Slovenian station 1 km south of the border or the Slovenian station north of Maribor on the A1... that truly is the only question... who wants to test them all ten times in both directions? ;) 

(and then, once we find out, and all five zillion hitch-hikers know about it, which will then automatically make the best service stations into worst, due to reasons of lots and lots of competing hitch-hikers... (wait, another five cars with more hitch-hikers are just driving into the station, while I'm writing...) ;)

It's a good place to go to Mons (or in the direction of Paris) and Charleroi. The best is in the winter because there's trees in front of your spot and in the spring and the summer, it's not easy to the drivers to see you. After leave this place, you can ask if the driver can drop you on the gas station of Ruisbroek, it's a big gas station close to Brussels.

C'est un bon endroit pour aller vers Mons (ou en direction de Paris) et Charleroi. Le mieux est pendant l'hiver car des arbres sont en face de votre spot et pendant le printemps et l'été, les conducteurs ne peuvent pas vous voir. Demandez si la personne peut vous déposer sur l'air de repos de Ruisbroek, c'est une grosse station près de Bruxelles.

contrary to everything said before, we got a ride north in 10 min on a sunday morning, we asked for austria and he took us to the village medvode on the way to kranj. This Station has a lot of traffic, just keep asking around. Also good for sleeping, slept in an adjacent field last summer, when i got here late in the night.
THERE'S NO BRIDGE TO THE OTHER SIDE (at least not directly)

If you want to continue hitchhiking in Italy (Venice...) don't accept rides to Koper, because you will get stuck there! Go there if you really have no other option.

I hitchhiked from this place heading West and this place is good only to go to Monfalcone or Gorizia; if you want to go to Venezia from here then you will waste your time. Because it's possible to get rides only until Monfalcone or Gorizia but not any further, my rating for this place is between Average and Bad.

This spot is also good to go north despite other spots in the north of Umeå might be more convenients
It is worth walking down to the A4 roundabout 1 km further south, Many lorry drivers coming from South will stop at this petrol station despite the fact that there is another petrol station northbound. Those were heading to Russia. the reason is that the other petrol station is considered to be rubbish!

If your driver goes south it is best to get off at the next exit, called 'Großkugel'. There is an Aral petrol station from where you can hitch to the city center OR you can take the S-Bahn (goes 2 times per hour, takes about 30 minutes to the main station).

Good spot indeed. There is a parking lot for the trucks, you can ask there. Found a truck to Poland and asked for a ride - no problem. Although most of the drivers stop just past the Polish border because it's forbidden to them to drive longer  than 11 hours (or something) on one day. But they will ask on the radio if somebody is going further. There is a second spot on the other side of the port. The Tallink ships are arriving there and they do that a lot more often than the Viking ships.

One of the most horrible places on earth to hitchike, was stuck here several times while trying to get aout of Venice . Trafic is fast, chaotic, local and long distance but just fucking messy. If you want to head in the direction of milano while leaving Venice the best way is to take any train in the direction of Milano and get of ar Dolo, then  walk to reach the gass station.

This is a very good spot to get rides towards Bucureşti.
Crossing the city to get here, if You were dropped at the train station or somewhere in the center, may be a real pain, but this place is a full reward: there are two petrol stations and one of them has also a parking lot for trucks. If You are thinking to use the trucks keep in mind that the road E60 between Braşov and Bucureşti is restricted to trucks every day pretty much all day between 06h00 and 22h00, so those that You will find here it's likely they will depart at 22h00.

just take a bus to the big shopping center "norteshopping", continue walking from there in direction to the airport and 500m after you've left the shopping-area behind you, you'll find a small stair on the left side which leads you directly to the gas-station.

waited there for 30 minutes. good spot!

Small correction: to get to the roundabout, it's easiest to take a local bus at the beginning of "Jasicki put" (just after the crossroads). Bus driver (or anyone else at the bus stop) most likely won't speak any other language but Serbian! Sometimes you need to pay for a ticket (~0.5eur) but most of the time you don't need to.

Dont know why but this place has a bad atmosphere. I was stuck for more then three hours. On the back of a traffic sign, people wrote their waiting time. Some had to wait more than 24 hours. So I think I was very lucky. Most of people willing to take me were going to Salzburg/Germany (where I came from). If you choose this place it is advised to take a tent. I did not need mine, but other HHers stayed here for the night. I believe I was very lucky finding a direct ride to Ljubljana.

When I arrived, I thought `'nice place (because of the beautiful mountains around), here it's not so bad to stay longer", few minutes later I found the traffic sign with all the negative comments of HH and then I had my own experience... I just got a Villach...

This place is incredibly busy but.... not effective for some reason. There is only one gas station for both sides of the highway so only a little part of the traffic will go your direction. I waited 3 and a half hours for a long ride to Nuremberg. It is good to sleep over though. Plenty of space to pitch your tent!

Two days, one mission! Hitchhike to Ljubljana. The first night I failed missarebly, it was dark and cold. 

The next day I returned with a thought that I have to beat this city. I was sucsesfull in 10 min.

It is the best place to hitchhike to Lj or Mb. the bus station is riht infront of the higway entrance.

probably this is a good station when going to the places mentioned above. however, we wanted to go to Vienna from there and couldn't find anyone who was going there for 1.30h. but this was just a wrong station for us I guess. there was a couple of other hitch-hikers, going to Croatia and they found a driver after some 40 minutes.

I was there on a Saturday monday at 8.30 am looking for a car ride to Graz... Traffic was rare and lots of trucks stopped sleeping. I think it is good to get a ride to Vienna/ West Austria (Linz/Salzburg) Germany/Hungaria/Romania but not to Graz/Italy... If you go south you should get in another petrol station... After 7 hours i quitted the petrol station and went to Wien back.

Big service station with loads of trucks and cars coming in in out. I got dropped here at midnight, and found a Ride to Romania the next morning around 06:00.

Don't even try to hitch to Vienna from here. On the map you can see the railway to the East in 500m and Kledering, the town to the North. You can walk there easily and give it a try or take the train. On Klederinger Strasse we got a lift to Vienna centre in 10 mins(my girlfriend and me) on Tuesday. Unfortunately I can't add spots on the maps so this is why I'm writing this here.

To many different driveways to the highway for a good place to get a ride to Bratislava. I´ve wait for a long time (1h+) and ask everyone in front of the store from the gasstation. If you don´t take a ride, you can watch the plain-clothes bordercontrol at their work during the time ;)

I think there are more cars towards Hungary or Romania than towards Bratislava (Slovakia) here. Took me 20 minutes to find a car to Bratislava but the information other people posted here tell me that I might have gotten lucky. I had a big ass sign and it was a sunny day. Stand on the patch of grass to the right of this spot, that way you can show your sign both to drivers coming from the petrol station (south on the map) and from the restaurant/resting place (east here), there is no other way to the highway so that is a 'perfect' spot.

 It's a good place if you don't mind asking drivers directly.
 Though a lot of cars go just across the border to Teresol or Biała Podlaska only. And it will take from 30 minutes up to some hours to cross the border even when you are already in a car. 
 Be sure that you don't have more alcohol and cigarets than it is allowded. You will be asked at the Polish side.

Me and my friend (two guys) were traveling from Moscow to Riga, asked drivers here for the ride to Riga - nobody accepted (BUT maybe you'll be lucky so ask as much as possible). Right after the border on Latvian side there is a good spot to hithc-hike but drivers don't like to stop here. My advice is to walk by the road A12 further. Good luck everybody!

despite looking like a decent place to get a lift from, its actually a very poor place, people don't like picking up from here. You could quite literally get stuck here for a day or two its that bad.  Best advice is head back south to South Stafford J12 interchange, then ask who ever stops for you, can they take you as far as Knutsford services or further.

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.

This gas station is ideal to get a ride towards Salzburg. My waiting time was around 15 mins. Lot of cars coming all times. And yes, since this gas station is small, it is easier to approach the drivers.

I was at this spot but didn´t bother as I saw nowhere for vehicles to stop. There is a tiny little curve in the road that could serve as a lay-by just before the junction but it´s hard for the cars to see and a lot of them are driving very fast...

If you need go around Cologne (either north, east or south) this is probably a good stop to get off if you are coming from Maastricht. Once you get into Cologne it gets much harder to find people that need to go your direction.

Having hitchhiked via Frechen very often I don't like this place. There is always lots of local traffic going to the restaurant here. The fuel station is barely frequented. And it's just not a nice place. However it's the last petrol station before cologne when coming from west. If you can, try "Aachener Land" (60km west) instead.

Weekdays, early afternoon. Hitchhiked by my own (1 girl). Going from Kufstein to Salsburg.

There is a gas station at the roundabout, on the road leading to the motorway. However, most cars with the Austrian license plate are just going in the city and the German plates are taking the small roads until they reach Kiefersfelden (first town in Germany). I got a lift to Rosemhein after 20 minutes, asked the driver.

I was almost sure the next day will be even worse, but I was wrong. Got picked up after 10 minutes of waiting.

Like all the comments mentioned, this spot is a very good spot from a technical perspective. People just don't want to stop, and this could be the case for many different reasons unknown to us, it just feels a bit empty to me.

BEST SPOT TO LEAVE GENEVA!

Easy to reach just use google map and it will show you which bus will bring you to this spot.

just go a bit further in the intersection where there is light with people coming under the bridge, and there use a big panel France and try to use eye contact and laugh with drivers.

My experience, (girl and boy) were with a panel France and after 20min a guy stopped for us was going to Chamonix, he drop us in the borders which is much more easy because cars are going really slow. so don't waste your money with bus to go to the border just walk to this place and you will catch a car, there is more french cars than Swiss cars. Good luck

Monday morning, 11 o clock. I came here just when another (Ukrainian) hitchiker came here. He stood behind me (exact place is listed here also). I was also trying to stop the cars on highway. I was lucky. I had a ride to Wien after 17 minutes. Very good place.

This place is good for directions M7 and M1. If you go towards M1, you might as well consider Szigetszentmiklós/Csepel rest station on M0, south of the city. From there a lot of trucks head towards west, and easier for the drivers to stop. (hitch-hiking spot listed on the map)

Hitchhiked here twice. The first time we started late and had to sleep in the medow a bit north from there. The second time was yesterday. It's not the best spot, but good enough to get picked up I guess.

Before I reached the traffic island at the traffic light police stopped beside me and tried to convince me to not continue my walk because it is dangerous. Actually they are right, but this is the best spot in Kirchheim. Luckily the next car the driver worrying about me stopped and took me to Denkendorf.

You can EITHER ask on the gas station OR stand behind the gas station witha sign (there are a lot of cars entering the big road). 
There are a lot of local people who  go to places nearby like Malianio, el Corte Ingles or Astillero but also people going to Torrelavega, Solares, Bilbao and so on. 

If you want to go direction Bilbao: You need at least somebody until Solares, because there is a good petrol petrol OR you can stand next to the entry to the high way.

We got a ride to Gandia. The problem is taht to go to Alicante there are three different roads. So ask the driver if he is going from the Autopista, because our driver went from the Autovia, and it took 3 times more to arrive to Alicante, because the road is passing through towns and traffic lights

The first one I asked took me to Alcoi, from there it was quite difficult to hitch further towards Murcia. While I asked the first driver a worker of the gas station came to me and told me that I should not ask drivers at the station and pointed me to some places to try with a sign. Luckily the driver already agreed to take me.

For some reason or other the Midlands have some of the worst services in the country. The Spaghetti junction you shouldn't use, because you will never get a lift. If your heading towards manchester, try to get a train or bus to Stafford, and hitch from there, the next few service areas Northbound are horrific for rides Northbound, you could end up in one of these old fashioned services for over 24 hours...train / bus stafford, believe me, it will take the strain of hitch hiking off you, north stafford and you wont have problems going north,

We tried without a big success. One of us was standing with a sign and one asking at the petrol station. Most of the cars were from the villages around. In the end we convinced one guy to take us to the first gas station on the highway direction to Arnhem. I don't know how long we would wait if he didn't take us. We took a train to Emmerich because we had the whole day ticket for the whole German region. There was a bus from the train station going close to this place but we found it out late. I think it was number 91 but I am not sure.

Found this place to be more or less pointless going south, most drivers passing here are going (south)west towards Eindhoven/Den Bosch. 

For direction Venlo, your chances are much better next to the onramp to the A73. I've hitched many times there, always works great. 

Furthermore, the above statement is supported by the fact that you can clearly see how many drivers coming from the Wijchenseweg are entering the A73 direction south there: they weren't many. Of the total amount of cars entering the motorway, I'd say about 20-30% came from Nijmegen centre and the rest from the west (Wijchen).

I hitched out of here today, just to Cesky Krumlov for the day, but the people who picked me up were traveling further and offered to take me with them. If you make it to where Litvinovicka turns onto the highway and turn left towards the bus stop there is a big median thing that directs merging traffic onto the highway. Stand there and you will certainly get a ride. I got my ride in maybe ten seconds of flying a sign. No joke.

After having been here for the 3rd time trying to get a lift to the A2 towards Magdeburg I can confirm it is much harder than going north. While lots of people would have taken me towards Hannover, Hamburg or Bremen, there were few going towards Braunschweig in the first place. 
You can accept lifts to Braunschweig or Wolfsburg, there is a gas station at the A39 with almost no traffic, but better chances to get a lift further east.

Cannot recommend this spot as cars are going 70 km/h there and don't really have an option to stop. The roundabout farther down the road might me a better place to start.

Very big station with huge traffic. Even though it is two direction station it was impossible for us to find a ride to Graz or anywhere further. All cars were heading Vienna, Germany and Poland and we didn't find any car heading opposite direction. So perfect place for going north and senseless for going south.

Even better place to hitchhike is to leave bus nr 2 from the following stop (the second stop from airport), walk back to the main road and towards Tartu around some hundred meters and start hitchhiking from the next bus stop. There's traffic lights before the stop so for drivers it's easier to notice you earlier.

Note that this spot (as explained in the comment above) is not where it's shown on the map (because the spot shown on the map - junction with Tallinna ringtee-is already in the middle of the highway with no traffic lights), but much further up. Its on the bus stop kaabli of bus nr 2. Its right after the traffic lights and right before some big parking of some shopping centre. Very good spot, my friend and me got a ride after around 25-30 min

I have to disagree. I was also going towards Leipzig, most cars do indeed continue to Berlin, you just have to spot the Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, or any car/truck that surely will go south, like Romanians and Bulgarians. I found a ride all the way to Prague.

There is no fast food place, but there are two restaurants behind the petrol station area, with a big parking lot.

Not the best and not the worst place to get out of Hamburg. I went twice direction Hanover from here. Both times a truck drivers took me. Holding a sign or thumbing is not the way you will get a quick ride. Asking for a ride will do the job. This rest stop is easily reachable from metro-station "Harburg". Bus 443, 143 and 148 stop at "Sinstorfer Kirchweg". The rest stop is just half a click away.

Make sure to look friendly and smile, since there are a lot of suspicious looking locals hitchhiking there or waiting for a bus at all times of day. Also many people passing here are a bit xenophobic and don't like to take foreigners for a ride, so it would be advisable to know at least how to ask for your destination in Serbian.

However, the place wasn't that good since the cars were already driving quite fast and there weren't that much space to pull off. Over driver told the same thing. In addition, walking and standing on the highway makes this spot a bit dangerous.

Heading to Nice by myself: I can confirm that there is not humongous space for cars to pull over and yeah cars already get quite fast so there is very short time for drivers to decide. Very few cars stopped but no chance to get someone for my direction. I gave up after 90 minutes and took the bus to Aix-en-Provence which was def the right decision! So my recommendation: Take the bus (5,20 Euros) from the bus station at the Gare St. Charles, hop off at the first station in Aix (the bus stoppes also before the main station there, station called BEAUVALLE) and just walk back a few hundred metres to the entrance of the highway where the bus just came from. There is a round-about just before people enter the highway where there is a good spot for drivers to stop.

(ENGLISH BELOW)
Endroit dangereux pour attendre et pas pratique pour que les voitures s'arretent (malgre le feu, a cause du trafic juste derriere).
J'ai abandonne au bout de 2h (je ne suis pas un debutant, et d'autres pouceux etaient la sans plus de succes).
Ma technique (utilisee plusieurs fois) : depuis la gare Saint Charles, prendre un bus (4€) direction Vitrolles. De la, rejoindre en qq minutes a pied la station-essence Agip sur l'A7 - trafic local et limite, mais du coup ca passe super bien de demander aux chauffeurs (meme camions) de se faire deposer a la station suivante ("Lançon") avec plein de plans longue distance !
ENGLISH:
Bad spot, unsafe for hitching and unpractical for cars to stop (and mostly local traffic anyway...).
I gave up after 2 hours (I'm not a newbie, and other hitchers didn't get a ride either after all that time).
My advice (used several times): from Saint Charles train-station, take a BUS (4€) towards "Vitrolles". From there (terminus), ask for the Agip gas-station which is very nearby - it has limited and local traffic, but then do ask ANYONE (even trucks) to drop you at the next one ("Lancon", maybe write it down if you don't know French because it sounds very French...), from there you'll get long-distance rides in no time!

2nd: It was a big problem to get to Stuttgart from there (I even wrote STUTTGART or HEILBRONN on my board). Only a trucker took me (female) to Stuttgart, because he lived there.

I hitchhiked from this gas station heading to München twice so far and both times I found a ride very quickly. The first time was around 22h in a late and cold September evening and the second time was around 10h30 in a rainy October morning. This is a good place.

I have to say that this was my worst experience doing hitchhiking here. A couple of brothers thought that it would be good idea to get a lift in this "Peaje" because a lot of drivers pass through it and from this place, is the only way to go to Alicante. It was in summer when I did it, and there are a lot of English people who own a summer house in that region of Spain. Reach people with fancy cars who won't even think in the possibility to give you a ride. It was a little bit late when I started to ask for a lift, but my hope ended up at midnight because nobody stopped. I was hungry but there’s no store or restaurant near there. I started to look for a place to sleep and I speeded the night on the pavement of a road. I’m in shock after this situation. I just can’t believe how selfish and indifferent can the people be.

the police asked me to leave the place after a couple of minutes, according to them the hard shoulder is too narrow and it's dangerous for cars to stop.

cars are indeed pretty fast as they accelerate when they get onto the ramp. and most of them already have passed you after realizing you are there. it took three hours to find a lift in western direction.

I agree on this spot. Its called "Örs Lantcafé", take a bus from central Växjö. Its really, really difficult to hitch out north from Växjö because the motorway goes right through, and people are unwilling to pick up people. 

Hopefully you will catch a car to get you to Lammhult, next on this map, and there are many trucks that will pick you.

It was after the roundabout to reach Lausanne, someone stopped to let me in Montreux. The cars arrive with some speed, but usually with the flow and because there were some roadworks, they came more slowly. Enough space, especially a bus stop 150 meters after the roundabout...

At first I was shocked with this spot: ok, the traffic IS busy and the red light is long (40 sec) but there is no room for the cars to pull over. You will find yourself standing on a narrow sidewalk. There is some room if the driver wants to ride into the gate of this WTO you can see on the map but it's not a standard open parking or so.
However, suprisingly, we got a ride towards Lausanne in 10 minutes! So green is still a good colour to mark this place.

The "Santarém" service station in the A1 highway is a very busy one, no problems to find a ride here, direction Coimbra, Porto... It's the last gas station before the exit to the A23 highway - so if you're going to SPAIN (Salamanca, Valladolid...), you have to find here someone going to the A23 (nowadays it isn't free anymore, so there's less cars), the first gas station in A23 will be "Abrantes", and you're on your way to Spain!

At 21.00 in the evening in November it took me 1,5 hours to get to CPH. I'm sure it would be much faster if earlier and light. There is an ok side lane for cars to stop.

Lots of Space for the cars to pull over after the rafic lights. Unfortunately, we met with very immature reactions of the drivers, 3 times they were stopping and driving away as soon as we started walking towads the car until one of te prankers came back and gave us a ride to the last exit before Denmak, a much better spot.

Tried hitching here with a friend (we were a guy and a girl). Dropped off around noon on a Tuesday. Trying to get to Gothenberg. We held multiple different signs but could not get a ride after waiting almost 2 hours. We finally went to the nearby Burger King to use wifi and went to a spot north of the city. We rode the bus for free to get to the other spot which was MUCH better than here.

I didn't like the roundabout becasue there was no traffic and no place to stop. I got insisde the Highway and the place was better, but is a highway so I never recommend it.

Still, only 20 minutes of waiting under the rain.

Looks ok on the map, but I actually came here to warn everyone from this place! There is a big service area, but with strangely zero traffic in the night... during more than 4 hours waiting, not a single vehicle in direction north (was night, but anyway). In the end I went down to the freeway, but who was gonna stop there, in full speed, uphill... I walked a few miles up the hill and finally got a lift from there, in the middle of nowhere.

Each three sides of the roundabout are perfect for thumbing. Northwards and Southwards it will be very quick (usually it was 2-3 minutes tops), but direction Pingvellir and along road 36 it might be a bit slower, as less traffic goes there. From here I managed to hitchhike to Selfoss several times through Pingvellir at 10pm, so everything is possible in Iceland! x)  [AdrianB]

This spot is good indeed for eastbound traffic towards berlin or into the northern periphery of Magdeburg. Please DO NOT TRY THIS SPOT FOR WESTBOUND TRAFFIC. That might seriously ruin your trip.

Some local guys told me this spot for hitchhiking to Dresden. I took the FREE bus from bus station (which is near the train station) to Auchan. (Yeah, you are right, it´s a shuttle bus of Auchan). Near the Supermart, you will find a gas station. But it´s not so ideal. You´d better walk southwest until the highway of A4. There is also a small gas tank. I was there just showing the sign, then came a guy asking me where I was heading for. Cool!

Got there at 8 in the morning and there were already 2 girls hitching by the exit of the station. After they got a ride to Dresden, I took their spot, as I was also headed in the direction of Dresden. Took 1hr 45mins to get a ride. They just stopped in the middle of the road and waved me over, blocking the traffic behind them.

Another female hitcher got a ride in about 10 mins, but I think she wasn't going as far. She stood by the trash bins.

One positive thing: I may soon be immortalized on Street View, as a Google car passed by me while I stood there!

This is a huge toll gate. For direction to South it devides the traffic for A62 (East of Toulouse) and A620 (West of Toulouse). I was said that most of the traffic for South uses A62.

From the center of Toulouse, You can use a subway + bus to go to this toll gate
The bus 60 from subway "La Vache" until the bus station "Laparou" after take the dead end in the other side until a whole, on the right, after a little hill, you will see 2 doors, the right door is open to the toll gate !!! (precision : the busline is temporarily under construction around this busstation, you will walk just a little more about 200 meters)

In the beginning of september 2011, works/constructions on the bus line are over. You can now go to the bus stop "La Vache". To go to the toll ("péage" in french), I had to go quite easily over a wall (you will see broken wire fences). 
No problem to hitchhike at this place which is good.

In 10 min, I got a ride to the next "péage"  just before Montauban: that was a mistake because toll workers forbid me to hichhike there. Therefore, I advise you to get a lift directly to the peage in the north of Montauban because it is only a tickets toll so there is not any worker. The best way is to catch a car going further in the North (Limoges, Châteauroux, Orléans, Paris)

Came here from Direction Milano on my way to SAVONA. I hoped someone would take me to the gas station on the southbound highway A6, but with only 1,5h of patience on a Thursday afternoon I didn't get lucky. Somebody said there's a toll station one km from here, so I started walking behind the guardrail along the highway direction Savona. Not such a good idea - dangerous! Best idea if you end up here is probably to hitch into the city and try to get close to the beginning of A6 direction Savona.

09/2012: We made our way to get there which took us more than one hour...and yeah it's been completely abandoned.

It worked out after 45 minutes so it is not impossible! But still not to recommend

Yeah, it's completely closed...you can still hitchhike at the former entrance to the gas station - cars are pretty slow and can easily stop. question is though, it all the travel to that place is worth it. NOTE: the bus stop where you have to get off is OLYMPIC VILLAGE!!!! there's indeed pitarello supermarket but you really need to watch out carefully. Also the bus number isnt 51, but something like SE01...it goes from the side of the street where you will arrive with the tram that is opposite of AUCHAN.

Second- you can stop with your thumb a mini-bus number 102 which goes to Skriaudžiai (just say to driver to leave you on this gas station when you reach it) http://www.marsrutai.info/kaunas/?a=p.routes&transport_id=search&l=en

I had a sign, written Nyíregyháza on it. Around 6PM a guy stopped and he was going to Eger, which is half way, He was really nice and took me to the petrol station just before turning to the direction of Eger. From there I easily got a ride to the petrol station at Polgár and with a third car I got to Nyíregyháza. I had a really cool experience, all the drivers were interesting and good people. And it took me about 2,5 hours. Pretty good.

Bus mentioned in previous comment stops next to two roadside restaurants called "Cale Magistrale" and "Ivan", the first one has neon light sign STOP, easy to recognize, and local bus drivers know where you want to get off if you mention this two, or just say Prosek village bus stop. Bus takes you exactly at the place for hitchhiking. You can also get this bus to Prosek at bus stop at in front of city hospital, so you don't have to catch it at Skull Tower if you aren't near there. Also, bus to Prosek could be catched from city main bus station terminals. Ticket is in a range of 100-150 dinars (1Euro is apr. 116 dinars at the time of writing this)

To get here, take so called "airport bus", that's city regular bus line that circles around the town, buses are white/green and if you're in the center (lets say central square) you'll find bus stop for it if you cross through the fortress, over the wooden bridge and get in front of Nikola Tesla high school and Faculties of Architecture, Civil Engineering and/or Faculty of Electrotechnics. Get on one that goes towards the Airport, and get off before circle roundabout. From there, it's an easy few minutes walk to this spot.

Good spot to get a ride towards the toll booths. Get out THERE if you want to get a long ride to Belgrade - don't go with a car that only goes halfway (I did this stupid mistake), as the rest areas on the highway are not busy and you run the risk of getting stranded (took me 2 hours! on a rest area to find another car to Belgrade).

To go north on the A9 either convince someone to go out of their way to take you to Feucht or if you get really stuck, go onto the A6 and cross the motorway at the 1st petrol station after Nuremberg (Kammersteiner Land, to cross walk about 700m east) and continue from there, it's a detour of about one hour but has worked very well for me.

Indeed perfect spot to continue on the A3 towards Frankfurt, but I needed to turn west on the A6 towards Mannheim... It took me 3 hours to finally find someone who was going in this direction and could take me. 
This gas station is quite busy so you can ask many people in a short time. I think the best is t stand at the main entrance of the shop/restaurant, almost everyone goes there.

Very good place, worth the treck! Got a lift to Barcelona after 2min!

More precision: Take the train from Station Nord (around 20min, 2.65euro), then once arrived in Puzol ask the roundabout (redonda) on the "carretera de Barcelona", here you have a supermarket, go behing and follow the small road close to the orange trees that lead you to the bridge. Follow the road under the bridge, so you will arrive on the other side of the "autovia" and "autopista" (dont be afraid even if you going North), then walk around 2km, you will pass a bridge above the highway (you will see the petrol station), just after the bridge turn left to follow the path between the highway and the orange trees. Here you are! The guy who discover this is a genius, thanks a lot! around 40min walking.

Note: if your Spanish is not so good, precise that you want to go to the petrol station of the highway (autopista) and not the one of the "autovia" (free road). In Puzol it is hard to know where you have to go at the beginning, there is a lot of road with bridge, so it is confusing.

same here ... I got dropped off here after hitching at the OMV a few km before ... direction Budapest.  It seems possible to hitch to Vienna, and might be good for Bratislava (since many people fly to Vienna instead of Bratislava), but it's senseless if you're going any other direction.

This is the best spot to pass munich to salzburg or up north. It is the last gas station before munich and a lot of people from the Bodensee Region are taking this way to Austria or the Balkan states. The route via Bregenz/Innsbruck is less popular. We needed 5min to get a lift to Salzburg and the guy who picked us up would have brought us even to vienna. The best way is to ask the people there.

A lof of car came around the streets nearby, so if you catch here a direct car to Miskolc or Debrecen you are really lucky. But as I said, you can get a car to the next two stations by the OMV by Kacsóh Pongrác or by the Praktiker near Gödöllő. From there you have a easy ride.

Yes that is true. If you want to go to Slovakia, hitchhike with sign SLAVKOV. it is next good spot also with gas station for asking. If the driver tells you that he goes further for example to Uherske hradiste, I recommend not to pass moutains because there is not good place. The last very good place before Uherske hradiste is Nesovice. The next used sing would be SK (slovakia). If the divers direction doesn't fit you next place for changing will be village Drietoma just after borders.

from Malaga,ES to Prague,CZ

We went here in the evening and a parking lot was filled with trucks.
A lot of traffic on a station. Mostly going direction Bayreuth-Hof and than Berlin or Dresden and Poland. Quite a lot going Pasau-Graz-Maribor. Some going Pasau-Wien-Budapest. Few going to Prague.

We asked truckers about tomorrow morning. We found one going to Prague in 6am. But I was in a rush.
Than we tried the station. 40 minutes nothing and than three Czech cars at one time. After a fast fast ride with Tom, we were at Zličín station, Prague (288km in two hours). Great hike.

So, the adventure is waiting for you. The simplest road is closed (may, 2014) and it seems that it will be closed for like a year. Use this map first http://goo.gl/maps/4ff03 and then go to the bushes straight and on the left, parallel to the road. There is a path made by other people. You will have to jump over the fence to reach the overpass of Via dell'Inviolatella Salaria. Then short walk through the fields and you will reach the gas station :) 
There is almost no sense to stay with the cardboard sign in Italy, it's better to ask people. Prepare some useful phrases and the map. 
Good luck!

Ok guys, I did it and i'm happy that survived ;)
Take a notice that from train station to the gas station road is at least exhausting. On the map it look clear and easy, in reality you have to CLIMB up and up, like a 1 km. The hill is high and you need a good condition to do that, especially during the summer.
Attention!: when street "via capoliveri" finish please dont go straight though a wild garden.
I made that mistake and my legs were all stratched and i was bleeding. Just madness. 
There is a road beetween two gas stations, so your host can pick you up there and return.
Good luck everyone!

I did this in December 2015, and it's perfectly doable AS LONG AS you're very determined. Refer to this link to see the path I used: http://1drv.ms/1PxI6eu When Via Capoliveri ends, go straight into the bushes. You should be able to see a very narrow trail, that splits up almost immediately. If you go right, it's a dead end, so go left and just follow the trail. The bushes are dangerously thorny, so make sure your clothing is appropriate. When you reach the highway, turn left and walk down the road (behind the guardrail). The path will get steeper and narrower (you might fall and roll down the hill into the highway if it's slippery), so go back into the trees (circled in blue). The trees are pretty thick, but still, you can work your way until you reach a metal fence that's been obviously climbed over a thousand times before. Go for it and you're on the bridge. Cross the bridge and then it's really easy to reach the gas station. Nothing dangerous to report about that part. 

It took me 15 mins to find a direct ride to Milan!

Great spot for hitch-hiking to Luzern. Lot of space for cars to stop in front of fire station. Many cars going, not much fast yet, perfect. Got ride in 15 minutes to Luzern.

2 guys, 10 AM

Bad place, no space for cars to stop (it's not allowed there), we wanted to go to A3 but someone took us to different road (A4).

There is probably not better place in Zürich to hitchhike in this direction.

It's a good spot, but if you arrive late during the day then most truckers are resting so you need to rely on cars. Waited 1,5 hours and then was picked up by a car that took us to Ljubljana.

We (a couple) wanted to go to Trieste (Italy). Around 10 pm a Hungarian car that went to Koper (at the Slovenian sea), gave us a lift to Kozina, 15 km from Trieste. If you want to go to Italy and someone says that he just goes to Koper, just go with him to Kozina. It's as near to Koper as near to Italy.

Mid-October 2013. 1 hour walk from Nykopping. Rest area seemed to be promissing. First I stood at the exit so that it would be possible to catch all cars - from gas station and restaurant visitors. People simply pretended not to see me. There was only 1 truck...and it had to rest till next morning. Running between the cars asking people for any possible ride towards south - hopeless. Asked "7-eleven" shop assisnants - they said that sometimes people don't catch a car the whole day...Optimistic, huh??? Then finally 2 men from Montenegro agreed to give a lift to Norkopping. They invited me for dinner at "Rasta Grill"! and once we arrived to Norkopping, gave 500 sek so that I could afford a ticket to Malmo. Good end. But over 2 hours freezing!

The two of us tried to hitch a ride in this spot, with no success. There are a lot of cars and their speed is not very high, but the cars on the outer lane (the one closer to you) are turning to the local neighborhoods on the roundabout and the ones you want to catch going to Berlin are on the inner one. We gave up after more than two hours and moved to the Caspar Voght Str. spot, where it was much easier. Already in the car, we saw another hitchhiker there going to Lubeck. We hope she also managed to get a good ride.

I don't really agree with the spot made for hitchhikers. To much traffic and the pedeastian crossing is not really made for stopping cars. On the other hand I got of in 35 Minutes. A lot of cars from Winsen/Luhe drive past, so if you come up with a sign for the next gas station on the highway Harburger Berge it might increase your chances.

I tried to hitchhike here when coming from Vejle to Odense. Note that the right spot to hitchhike in here is a place where the cars can stop which is between this roundabout and the ramp that gives access to the Motorvej. Foreigners as me might get a bit confused, that's why I'm putting this note, but you may see that the roundabout isn't a safe place for them to stop and what I call "ramp" has signs saying "100km" so the cars are going quite fast in there, there's not much space for them to stop and it's also a curve  :P
Anyways, I tried over an hour hitchhiking here, until I gave up. It was a Monday afternoon at it was a holiday. After I gave up, I hitchhiked towards the city center to try hitchhiking at the other spot marked here on hitchwiki (at the crossing of Fynsvej with Lyshøj Alle). There I waited less than 5min until I was picked up and driven all the way to my doorstep in Odense.

So, I'd say, don't insist much if you're not been lucky here: hitchhike towards the city center and try that other spot.

it's a good spot, but there are times when traffic is really low. But cars go slow, you can easily ask drivers, there is trucks and a cafe - a pleasant spot

I didn't know that we couldn't walk through the no man's land so I got out of Turkey and started walking. The Turkish soldiers stopped me (with a smile), told me I couldn't walk and took the initiative to find me a ride! ;)

You don't have to walk on the highway to reach it! just go through the industrial zone at the back. I got really lucky, the first car I asked went directly to Lleida (Catalunya)

Hitched a ride on Tuesday early afternoon to Stuttgart, took about 30 min. Should be easier earlier or later in the day.

I waited for 40minutes for a ride to Hamburg. Quite some cars passing but some might hesitate to stop because of the limited space for cars at the roadside...
All in all, a good hitching-spot :)

The place is really not bad. It took me half an hour to get a ride to B15 as I actually was going to Innsbruck.

Waited for 4 hours in august 2014. My longest wait so far, but it also got me my longest ride: straight to Amersfoort (NL). Left me with very mixed feelings.

Nice place to wait for a ride. Often people driving out here are locals and don't do long distance rides. (some people said), however got a ride to Ayamonte after a while.

It was raining so we wanted to be polite and ask if we can stay inside. The stuff agreed but if there is no rain we have to go out. When it stopped raining we went out to ask people on the gas station for a ride but the stuff told us to stop it or they will ask police. We could ask only in the parking lot but as it was raining every 5 min it was very hard to get out of the place.

This is a great spot both for short distance using commuter traffic (I would suggest standing with a sign just after the pedestrian crossing towards the small park on the south western part of the station) and long distance journeys with the trucks. Got a ride to Brussels in 10 minutes!

Good for loca rides to Bochum, Essen, Gelsenkirchen...
Senseless for further destinations. Therefore you better walk to the Sozialakademie which is 1 km to the east.
