Tried hitching west along the E14 from here at dusk in Oct 2013, people were only going short distances though. After two hours I accepted a lift a short way west just to get out of there! If you're thinking of hitching west on e14 it could be a good idea to do it on Sunday, lots of Norwegians come over the border for the weekend to put their purchasing power to good use and then go back on Sunday.

Hitchhiked to Norway (on a Sunday). Very easy since many Norwegians are going home after spending the day/weekend in Östersund.

In february, I gave up after 4 hours without any ride. In 4 hours I saw only 2 cars going at least to the next gaz station on the highway, but both were full. It's probably better in the summer though.

This station has a lot of local traffic, as it has a car wash and is close to a commercial area. It's best to ask drivers whether they go to Ocana (just a bit further south) and then get dropped at the petrol station in Sesena Nuevo.

I've hitchhiked here for about 30 times, always going to Brussels. 
Walk some 100 meters into the on ramp. This might look a bit dangerous at the first sight, but it is the best spot for 2 reasons : 
1) Here is a short straight line, so it's safer and easier for cars to stop here than in the corner. 
2) at this point, both on-ramps join, so you can also catch rides from cars coming from Genk centrum. 

Waiting time between 0 and 10 minutes. 
It's good to use a sign

Good spot to go on the E314 or E40 (please indicate on your board!). You can walk to this place by the Koning Boudewijnlaan (and you can hitchhike while walking all the way). There is place to stop and it's just after some traffic lights so all cars can see you. Good luck!

Hard to get till Liege, but if a person is going to Tienen, then you can ask to put you out when he drive off the highway. Then you need to get back on the highway and go straight to the near petrol station. In sunny day it is super easy to get to the see side.

Mostly local traffic but you should take whatever lifts and just keep going in the Serbia direction, bring a map.

This station is huge. In July it was really crowded with cars, most of them caring whole families though, without a place for a hitchhiker. On the other hand I got a ride straight to Perpignan, so it's still a great spot I guess. There's a really large recreation area with trees and bushes so it's a fantastic place to camp too.

We were two girls with a panel "A1 North". It was difficult, no one wanted to take us, and some people didn't even look at us. Most of the people seems to come from surbub of Paris and not going to our direction (we were on Tuesday evening). After 1h30, a guy stopped his car near the bus stop and took us. He was going to Brussels. This place seems to be the most logical place to get out of Paris, but it is not a easy place.

Plenty of cars, but most of the traffic is local. The Portuguese ones go mainly just to Elvas. 
We were tempted to hitch to the gas station on the other side of the border or to Elvas and try our luck there, but later realized that it wouldn't be a good solution, it's so deserted there.
It took us around 1,5h to get a ride straight to Lisbon by the nacional. If you go further than just across the border, better to stick to this place.

Entrance to the highway - mainly used by cars going to Spain, so it´s not a good spot to hitch direction Faro and further west. If you´re coming from Vila Real de São Antonio, try reaching this place to hitch, because before there´s too much local traffic. Our experience (April 2015) - we were trying to get on the highway and after around 45 minutes a Ukrainian driver picked us up and changed the direction to the national road going to Tavira.

Going south on a Sunday evening. Had to go down the road because the roundabout was packed with locals. 

Staff at the station didn't speak English. There weren't many cars stopping (as it was Sunday probably), and those who were stopping were either going north or just down to the next village.
Finally managed to get a ride until Mărășești, driver going all the way to Bucharest.

walk to this point. you will fin a place between the two "blue" roads, cars can stop easily, see you from far away, more traffic than the other spot, and you can sit on a small wall in security. but take care, if police stops, you may have to go back to the other spot. sitting is the best way to show them that you won't move on the roads. don't try to go inside the tunnel, it's really dangerous. try to draw a big sign with a gas station logo ( like on highway signs ) and write "A 13  aire dir ROUEN "

Not a great place for hitchhiking as vehicles are allowed to go at 70km/h legally (meaning they go faster than that). There is enough stopping space.
After 35 minutes a friendly local commuter stopped and told me it's not the best place to hitchhike, and took me to a better one down the road.

I hitchhiked a bit further at the border itself. It was Tuesday noon in August 2016. There was no queue there at all, in fact, the border was quite desolate. Nobody ever demanded any kind of permission from me nor did anyone try to get money out of me. Though I must admit this permission-for-border-areas thing does exist (in Russia and Belarus for sure) but unless you encounter police, nobody will check it. Just hitchhike to Mamonovo - it's not that difficult :).

This may be useful if you're going to Lisbon at work days. Otherwise AVOID. I was unlucky to be lifted there while going to Madrid on Saturday. Absolutely pointless: gave up asking (after unsuccessfuly asking everyone at the spot), went to highway exit (nice point, much place to stop and slow traffic), find out that the traffic is extremely rare (one car/10-15 mins, lorries being very few of them). Luck sent me Portuguese guys with a direct ride to Madrid suburbs at the moment I was considering taking a bus (they say there is a stop nearby). Little bit less than 3h of waiting under the burning sun.

I really liked this spot as there's space for the cars to stop and they also see you before when they're stopped waiting for the traffic lights. 
I mean, I was on this street going towards Odense, but this area here seems good to hitchhike to all directions if you get droped off here.
A friend of mine was hitchhiking here in a Saturday morning and he said everyone who was stopping was going to the next city before the bridge to Nyborg, but he was declining the rides affraid that there it could be harder to get a ride - so he spent more than 1 hour here until he accepts a ride to there (and from there I think he got a ride quickly actually). In my case I was here later in the evening, in the same day, and I was picked up in 10 minutes by an elder couple going to Munkebo, a city very close to Odense.

Spot is tempting as the setup seems to be really good. But a lot of drivers misinterprete the dead end road to the ferry as a normal street and don't want to stop.
Two attempts of hitchhiking out of there. First time no success, second time had a ride within 30 min. 
Showing people at the traffic lights that the road is a dead end makes it way easier.

Hitched here from ~5pm-9pm (it's well lit and sun didn't set till 8ish), pitched my tent in a nearby field, and proceeded to hitch here again for several more hours the next day. Police told me to go to the petrol station 1km down the highway, I did, absolutely NO cars there, so I came back. Police saw me again , was not happy at all, threatened to take me back to the station to pay a fine. Told him I'd been here since yesterday and he was silent for a while and then drove off. Walked to Horgos and got a bus to Subotitsa.

Warto dodać do opisy - łapanie tam jest zabronione, formalnie jest już tam autostrada. Poza tym ludzie jadący z Torunia na południe raczej będą wjeżdżać w innym miejscu - taka moja obserwacja. 
I don't fully agree with the description - for me it was rather diificult to catch somebody heading south - probably it's a better place to go north - Gdańsk etc. And what is more important - it is forbiden to stay there - there is posibbility to be fined.

You might expect a gas station on the highway to be a great place. I actuallly had to wait 21 hours to get a ride towards belgrade. ANd actually a quite short ride with a truck driver to the border queu that involved 3km walking. At least it's a great place to camp, but consider that it's closed at night and during the day toilet is with payment. There is also a free chemical toilet on the truck park.
Chances might be higher if you go towards Osijek

I never waited this time in my life and i'm surprised because the borders they were only in some km and it's a highway with lot of traffic. My conclusion hitchhiking in Croatia is awful.

I was heading to Novi Sad and waited here for about 2 hours on Monday, starting at 8 am. Most cars are only travelling locally, but a few are going further. There's a big station and a Mc Donald's, as well as two free Wi-Fi networks. Just be patient and you will find a ride. Three or four cars I asked were going towards Zagreb or even further, like Italy. If you filter out the local traffic, you shouldn't find yourself waiting for a long time.

With a panel of Croatia in the exit of the gas station we waited quite a long time (2hours) we even used sometimes the highway side but it didn't work not because it's forbidden but we weren't lucky! I'm saying this because there is some drivers were entering from the exit side! yes! it's Serbia don't be surprised.

While we were hitchhiking there was a couple hitchhiking in the entrance of the gas station with a big sign novi sad and they caught a car in only 10min (highway side) and after they left another guy came to hitchhike again to novi sad and he caught a car in only 10min as well in the same place. so if your destination in Novi sad I think staying in the entrance is better otherwise stay in the exit of Macdonals I think is good and ask people (I didn't try)

It worked eventually... I can't even remember whether I was holding my 'Berane' sign when I was picked up, but my driver was the bloke who puts up all of the billboard adverts in the country and he took me to the Serbian border on his shift. Not a great spot due to limited pullover space, but I was standing just after the last turning onto the road (from where my driver joined). Any further along would be "senseless"...

we tried to hitchhike right in front of the toll but as we were approaching a voice told us to go backwards... the woman working there. so we went back to the entrance of the parking, where not many people stop but we were trying to make big signs so people could see us from the toll. but we were just in front of a camera, and this was not satisfying for the workers, one came to us and explained us that the police was coming, and he put his car before us with a "be careful" sign to inform people about us standing dangerously there. someone we asked to on the parking explaining the situation finally took us until périgueux.

Also think that this is probably the best place for hitchhiking towards Serbia (although it was still a bit tricky - waiting time for me: 1.5h for a direct ride to Nis). Just after the traffic light and the entrance to the gas station there's enough space for cars to pull over.

Just perfect spot. I hitchhiked with a sign Odense and got a lift in 2 minutes. it should be probably also possible to hitchhike directly to Copenhagen.

In summer, weekend, many cars goes to Split, ot Zadar. Especially from Italy. It is hard to get a car to Zagreb, but I think still the best place near Rijeka. Also the taxi drivers bring you here for 50-100 kuna, from the nearby villages, or use the bus 32 to get closer.

I take this spot at least once a month to get to Bad Segeberg, it always works fast. I used to take the spot at the traffic light but this one gives you three times as much traffic.
(For Berlin you could also use a Bad Segeberg sign and get out at the gas station 3km before the exit to B.S.)

Since the service area didn't worked out we decided to just stay on this small strip close to a small gas station going that direction and also the exit of the service area and big gas station, direction south.

I was asking everybody if they could take me to Milano but nobody would go to Milano from here. Cars going in this direction are going to Bologna, Firenze, etc. If you want to go to Milano but you ended up here, then you should ask people to take you more ahead on the road until a place where you can cross the street and go direction Milano. I did go to a toll station (if you go direction Bologna) and I went to the other side of the toll. Got a ride there in less than 1 min after I found a good spot to thumb up

They asked me if I just bought any drugs but then realized this must be too stupid to do so. So no search :D
Well I stood their for quite a while with the allowance of the customs and at some point I was able to ask some guy whom they just controlled which took me to about Stuttgart.
Great to go up north the highway A81 probably also south to Switzerland.

Most of people drive to the airport, locals rarely pass the border, many tourist cars are already full.
Got an advice from a local: do not use a sign! (people are reluctant to take you through the border. when they stop, just say to take you as south as possible)

Hitched from here in early July 2019, this is a pretty good spot! There's some space for the cars to pull over too. We were headed to Kyleakin, Skye and the driver left us right there! 15-20min wait.

Me and girlfriend started to hitchike here towards the north in heavy rain and in just a minute two older gentlemens from Pakistan picked us up. They didn't even know where they are and because they were so friendly and funny and they needed our help with the navigation we stayed with them the whole day! We had a great road trip around Skye and all the way to Loch Ness. :)

However, our 2 friends hitchiked just a little bit further down the road and they waited for about an hour and got a short lift - only a quarter of the way to Inverness.

Bottom level, under the bridge, not good at all. The spot in a curve, cars are coming fast and there is no spot at all for them to stop. Only crazy people will stop and that's not what you want. Always prefer the top level if possible, there are less cars but better conditions.

Waited for 1h on the way to Spain. Don't follow the signs saying "Espagne par le tunnel de Bielsa" but follow the sign "Hèches", this route is more direct and with higher traffic. I didn't know it and kept on waiting in the first place. Plus, avoid having a board saying "Spain", not so many people go there directly, just hitchhike for a ride up, you'll find more cars to Spain in the higher villages.

It's normal gas station on the way towards Helsingborg, Gothenburg, Stockholm. I got a lift there in the late afternoon, waited about 10 mins because of rain, then tried the first people going out from the gas station and asked them. I was lucky - they were from Luxembourg and going towards Stockholm. Spent with them 2 days and next day in the afternoon arrived in Stockholm. It's worth trying it, maybe better than to get into Helsingborg.

Very nice place!

We were here twice (couple): once on way north, once on way south. THERE IS FREE HOT SHOWER on the west-side station and nice field to camp on east-side station. Village is nice and you can go for a nice walk to see the sea.

Getting a ride to Malmo is easy, going north is a bit harder though - we got to station about 40 km before Gotenborg.

Good Spot to hitch to Austria (A93-South-Innsbruck or A8-East-Salzburg) or to A8-West-Munich. If you arrive at Rosenheim main train station you can simply walk around 2 km to this place since there is no good public transport in Rosenheim. Leave the train station at the back entrance heading to Klepperstraße, turn left until you reach McDonalds (last place for a free toilet before you start hiching), turn right, cross the bridge over the river Mangfall, cross the huge junction straight and walk past the parking lot of huge supermarket Real. After the traffic light next to the church there is space for cars to spot. Because there are 3 different directions to go it'll be better you show a sign.

This is where we decided we couldn't take it anymore and gave up after my gf came back from the parking with tears in her eyes - local drivers mocked her for daring to ask for as much as a lift to the nearest bus station. Lots of traffic on the road, but no one stopped. A shockingly high percentage of drivers ignored us completely. I don't think I've ever been in a place where drivers seemed less willing to help.

Gut aus Saarbrücken heraus zu erreichen aber wenig Verkehr hält an dieser Tanke (nur noch Tanke, Imbiss ist geschlossen). 
Hatte Glück und hab Leute aus meiner Heimat getroffen nach ca, 45 Minuten Richtung Heidelberg.

Good to reach from Saarbrücken but not many traffic. There ist just a petrol station (no more Bistro).
I had luck and meet people from my home area after round 45 minutes in Direction Heidelberg.

Hitching on mountain roads in NOT easy! I ended up walking to the junction of 731 and 35 just out of boredom... I did end up getting a ride, but I probably waited 3+ hours for it (including the walk, in which a few cars passed me by). The good thing is that once you get a ride, it's virtually guaranteed to take you at least until Hveravellir, since there's virtually nothing in between. Really NOTHING. 
If you're gonna try to hitch Kjölur (the F35), be prepared for LONG waits and have the proper equipment and food to survive the night if necessary. If you manage it, it's extremely beautiful!

Two guys on a way to Sevilla took us here while we wanted to Granada.
Bad choice. This station is behind digression to Granada.

After half an hour sympathetic guy with a little daughter drove 15 more km just to take us to the station on a way to Granada. God bless such people!

Maybe it is a fine place on a way to Sevilla, but it is very bad on a way to Granada.

Been here two times! Once going north to Gothenburg. That was in the summer of 2011 and I got a ride all the way after about an hour of asking people at both Preem and McDonald's. Just no luck. 
   The second time was at about 1 or 2 pm on a sunny day in november. This time I was going south. Asked a few trucks but they were heading north, and most of the other cars as well. Got a ride after an hour to Halmstad! 
   
I am not sure if there's a better spot - but a truck-driver recommended Rastplats Skrea Backe a bit further south. I'm going to try that the next time! This place works but is not ideal. Most of the cars seem to be going north.

I had a hard time finding a good place to hitchhike from Halmstad, even though I checked here before. After asking five or six locals for tips and trying out a few places to stand, I found that the easiest spot was to stand about 20 meters from the traffic light on the crossing of Ryttarevägen and Laholmsvägen. Drivers were able to see the sign, make up their mind, and have a chance to slow down before taking the exit onto the highway. I had a sign that said "Snapparp" and got a ride in 10-15 minutes, just before the sun went down a monday in november. 

The spot is getting an average rank because it's not a perfect place for cars to pull over, you can't ask around and have a sign you just have the latter option, you have to have luck to get a ride a long distance. Still find this spot to be decent and got a ride pretty quick to a better place to hitchhike from.

Super easy to get to Torfhaus/Braunlage very fast, on the other side it's also easy to get to Braunschweig and sometimes the A2 or further. A7 is more difficult, try to get to Goslar in the direction of Langelsheim for that.

Good spot, with decent amount of traffic. Rather more likely to get a ride to Inkoo rather than all the way to the Capital Area. Our waiting time was probably affected by the number of us - 3 hitchhikers. (07.2014)

After waiting for 3 hours for a ride after this roundabout and even later in a spot already on the highway where the traffic from D188 enters, we decided to go to the nearest bus station (Massy RER/TGV) and catch a bus to Briis-sous-Forges and from there walk to the first gas station along the highway - Limours-Janvry.

We arrived there with a bus from Bologna. But to reach the gas station you have to follow a street on the right of the bridge. Than you will find the one side of the gas station. It is difficult to reach the gas station from there because there is a big fence and lots of cameras. But dont be afraid just go back and pass the tunnel to the other side of the highway. There is fence which can be passed easily. After a little bit of fight with bushes you will find a betonwall with holes for trash bins. There you can get on the gas station. Inside the gas station you can change the side over the "autogrill " like you want.

me + Nicol

from Malaga,ES to Prague,CZ

10:45-12:40 11.8.2015

After 45 minutes Spanish-Romainian trucker agreed to take us 400 km to Lyon.
Wonderful.
He had 1 hour break, so we ate a watermeloon somebody gave us in Sagunt (Valencia).

We were going to Eisenach to catch the main highway to Frankfurt. It was very easy, cause it was snowing and people fell pitty of us. hahaha. five minutes and got a ride. be careful of where they drop u off at Eisenach if you continue your trip, cause we got a shitty spot to keep on. Good luck.

Used this spot to get to Dresden on a November's Monday afternoon. Waited for almost three hours before a cool music loving couple that was heading to see an indie concert in Dresden picked us up. This spot is not the best spot as it's not so easy (although not impossible) for cars to pull over. It's easily reachable by tram number 7, direction Sommerfeld

In 30 miutes, we saw only 3 cars here : The police (to contrôl us and let us here), a full van and a empty car that the driver looked-at us like she can't do anything for us. So, we go, we didn't know where (actually, we walk until entrance with N-120 to hitch-hik there).

Most of the cars are trucks/vans going to nearby logistics center. Others just go by. In 2 hours only 3 cars stopped, one of them being driven by Guardia Civil staff off duty (who tried to explain that it's illegal to stand here despite I've been standing long before Autovia sign). The man who picked me up told me that drivers can be fined for stopping there. Also he was kind to give me a lift to a first gas station on the road to Victoria.

2 guys, Saturday at 20 o'clock, to Dresden

we tried it from different side of the bridge in front of Aldi supermarket, hitchhiked for 2 hours and didn't catch a ride, we had to sleep in place nearby in tent, we continued here in Sunday morning at 8 o'clock, after hour and half we moved to advised side of bridge and waited on traffic lights, there were less cars and we managed to catch a ride in 30 minutes directly to Prague (we had Dresden A13 sign), but I thing it was luck and we would wait there for long time. It can be helpful to hitchhike to first gas station, but you would be probably able to speak German to quick agreement with driver.

me and my friend waited more than one hour but no one stoped for us so we went to Gostritz and we putted our tentes to spend the night then in the morning we went to AM NOTHNITZGRUND 
HOW TO REACH THIS PLACE : from gostritz you can walk direction to Rosentitz and when you cross the highway there is a door who goes inside the A17 the door it's always open. Sometimes you can find Police in that station but don't worry they are not going to say anything even if you talk with the drivers. Good Luck

I took the tram from the main train station, tram 3 to Roserggerst, stopped there, then walked for about 10min. There is a little gas station there, but all the cars were driving into the city (still too central). Luckily from there, I got a ride to this gas station that is at the start of the highway. I waited about 20min, asking drivers. I got a lift a little before Kufstein (was going to Kufstein). Big Shopping mall nearby, cars stop (not plenty, but not few neither). Monday early afternoon.

Not such a good place though if you want to get onto IC8 direction Pombal. You have to stay exactly where the cars from Pedrogão turn onto EN2, since after that there's no  safe space for the cars to stop because of the turnings. Here the margin is almost none-existent too, but at least the cars can see you well.

Malgré la dangerosité de cet endroit, des automobilistes prennent le risque de s'arrêter tout en ne déreangant pas le trafic (ça nous est arrivé une fois dans chaques sens avec ma copine). Mais selon moi, mieux vaut garder à l'esprit le risque qu'il y a ici et trouver une place meilleurs en marchant dans la direction où l'on va.

this spot is in the wrong place, it was meant for the highway entrance to Nürnberg. People can stop here, because they have to drive slowly because of the bend. On a rainy day it took 30 min before a mother, who felt sorry for me, decided to bring me to the next Raststätte.

We tried the place for the first time, it worked very good. About 10-15 min waiting time. You need to have a sign, so that the drivers from the different directions can see you while they are waiting at the traffic lights. There is a good place to stop for the cars. Only direction Switzerland, not Germany/France.

Me and my girlfriend stood there for less than 15 minutes on a Tuesday, around 2-3PM and we got a ride.
We each had a sign, one saying "center" and the other one "please :)"
We decided to try to hitchhike to the center for fun and because we didn't want to walk for 2 hours. 
We were lucky and a nice guy took us all the way to the center.

me + Nicol

from Malaga,ES to Prague,CZ

15-16:40 12.8.2015

We got here on a way from Metz dir. Nürnberg.
Petrol station with a big parking for trucks, McDonald with parking for cars. A shop is nearby. All the complex is vast.
Not a best place, as there is a lot of locals and the station itself is a bit far away /2 roundabouts) from A6 highway.
A lot of locals and trucks going to Strasbourg (surprisingly).

In one hour a german driver Herbert agreed to take us to Nürnberg. He couldn t speak other language, so I had to practise german (good!). When he was having a shower, we talked, ate and drunk with Hamid, a Persian driver (with very few english he knew and few Turkish words I remember). It was a wonderful communication. He wanted to marry Nicol, but than we went away to Herbert's car.

Stood here for 90 minutes, soaking rain. in the end we were taken to a gas station south but doesn't seem like a great spot. Might be better to ask people at the gas station or shopping mall nearby.

Good spot. Put a Hitchwiki sticker on the road fence just before the exit. Beware that traffic on M7 after Balaton lake drastically decreases so use the traffic frequency on this spot or neighbouring gas station to wait for a long ride if you go towards Croatia.

Good spot if you want to go to the A9 (Nürnberg), as most people from the southern part of Munich use this road. Within 5 minutes, 2 people stopped and offered a ride.

Make shure you have a sign. The first gas station on A9 is "Fürholzen (Ost)", so make shure the driver is really going that direction. People going to the airport will leave A9 one exit before.

The main description above is fairly accurate, except the first road at the supermarket stops being the CV-306 and becomes the CV-3007. Turn left directly after the autovia exit, follow the small road, but when the road joins another road, turn left about 200 metres after. You will see graffiti on the wall by Vora and Picayo:

Very good spot to go from Bilbao to South.
You can reach the petrol station in the following way:
- take train from Bilbao to Ugao-Miraballes
- from the train station, get to the east side of the river and go along it to north (u'll be going with some forest road and hiking trail)
- track your GPS while going the road. in one moment u'll have to go left on trails crossing and u'll be just by the fence to the petrol station. You can jump through it and vuala! you are on the station ;)

There's no need to cross any rivers, highways or other dangerous things.

It took me over one hour to find somebody who goes towards Belgium. Most people, especially truck drivers in the commercial lounge are going towards Paris.

If you are with a truck driver, you can access the commercial drivers lounge. I did it and they instantly checked if the drivers ticked said that there were 2 persons on his truck, so If you are not with a commercial, don't act suspicious, leave your luggage outside. Asking in there wasn't helpful for me though, most people were going to Paris or didn't understand any English.

Technically my favorite spot for leaving town, however I once had no luck at all getting a ride towards Gera A4. The spot is awesome for Stollberg, ok for Leipzig and Hof (A72) but when I was there nobody was going west on the A4. 

I eventually left and found someone to drop me at the Rest stop a few km further towards Dresden. It was the same problem there, but eventually I found someone.

I was probably unlucky and had to wait almost 2 hours before a car took me but it can be much quicker I think.

Firstly, this place stinks because there is the AVR is an incinerator so you smell rubbish the whole time. Secondly, barely somebody pulls over. When I stood there 2 minutes, a girl stopped, but she drove for just 2 km, so I thought somebody else will stop. Not at all I decided to walk to the intersection of the A12 and the A348. Another option is to take the bus to Arnhem which stops at the ramp.

Really good spot. All traffic heading minimum to borås. To get here from Gbg for free is tricky but possible. Try green express buses to partille. Then just swich bus to landvetter. and then bus 611 (rävlanda/bollebygd), stop at "Härryda kyrka" and walk to the right on "flygplatsvägen". A little bit messy, but works for me, easier than tring to get a ride in the city at least.

Hitchhikers hell. After several hours got a 5 min ride up to the next roundabout. You can walk 3,5 km to the next gas station. It's quiet nice and big. It's a bit complicated to get there, but it's possible. We started to walk on motorway (but remember - it's not legal). After some 500m you will see a little trail going parallel the motorway. Climb over the fence and better use that one, it's way more safer. And it leads directly to the petrol station.

Quiet nice and big gas station. If you get here late, you can find nice place to build a tent. A lot of tracks are using this station. So if you're single traveller, the spot is very nice. If you're not alone it's a bit complicated since most of the track drivers don't want to take 2 or more travellers (I guess it's not very legal for them).

Used this spot to get out of the hitchgathering 2016 together with 2 other hitchhikers. It was raining and all 3 of us got picked up by a car in about 15-20 minutes. I agree that the place is not ideal: no good place for cars to stop although the roundabout is quite spacious and the cars can stop in the other edge of the roundabout without hindering traffic that much. They would have to act fast though.

Great stop to hitchhike towards Lviv, Halych, Burshtyn, Rohatyn. We just raised our hand, and the car stopped! The easiest way to get there is to catch any bus to the bus station, go along Halytska Street (north-eastern direction), then stop by the gas station (OKKO) on your left for a coffee/bathroom/snacks and then walk 5 more mins until you reach "Ivano-Frankivsk" sign.

This spot is really poor. Not so much space on bus bay to stop and buses use it frequently, so it will be problematic for drivers to stop there. Furthermore nobody riding on 1st and 2nd lane will take you because it's too far and the 3rd lane is used mainly by TIRs. Those on 4nd lane might stop, but they enter to the traffic and look into their rearview mirrors, so if they see you they will have little time to decide whether to take you. I discourage from hitching here.

The transcanada was closed between lake Louise and Golden, so there was a lot of traffic there. But in general it's a great place, there is a space for trucks to stop and speeds are quite low.

Best way to go west from Chilliwack. There isn't much space, but traffic is slow enough to stop easily. Problem can be that there is too much traffic and they don't see you early enough, but it shouldn't be too long before the right one comes.

No shoulder but people can stop in the merge lane, traffic is significant but not too heavy so people have space to stop without annoying others.
Me being in the car allowed my ride to use the hov lane, maybe you can put that on your sign (I didn't do it myself, just had the Vancouver sign, but it's an idea)

The spot is on a regional road heavily taken by people going to Nantes. They take this road to avoid passing through Marans (where many truckers go). This small spot has sufficient space with good visibility. I found a car to Nantes in 10 minutes.

From Bordeaux, this is a great place to go East. The road goes from Bordeaux to Lyon, and it didn't take too long for me to find a car towards this direction. However, finding a car that goes far might be more up to luck. Your chances of finding a car that crosses the country are high during summer however (with people coming back from vacations).

Nie polecam Góry Puławskiej jako miejsca do łapania autostopu w kierunku Radomia, stałem w sobotę od godziny 6:40. Na przystanku autobusowym obok remizy strażackiej (~60 minut) (100-200m na prawo od miejsca zaznaczonego na mapie), przy drodze obok zaznaczonego miejsca na mapie (~30 minut) oraz na przystanku w Klikawie (-60 minut). Po tym czasie udało mi się dojechać 10-15km do skrzyżowania na przejściu drogi krajowej i ekspresowej numer 12. Jedna obserwacja odnośnie tego miejsca i okolicy. Z każdym kolejnym miejscem w którym stałem był zauważalny spadek ruchu samochodowego. Wnioski są następujące, wszyscy wcześniej wjeżdżają na drogę ekspresową i nie jeżdżą starą drogą na Radom, a druga część jedzie do ich domów ustawionych wzdłuż drogi.

This might have been a good place a few years ago because there is a lot of space. Nowadays, when everybody ride expressway this place isn't good.

I do not recommend Gora Pulawska as a place to catch a hitchhike in the direction of Radom, I stood on Saturday from 6:40 a.m. At the bus stop next to the fire station (~60 minutes) (100-200m to the right of the place marked on the map), on the road next to the place marked on the map (~30 minutes) and at the stop in Klikawa (-60 minutes). After that I managed to get 10-15km to the intersection at the crossing of the national road and expressway number 12. One observation about this place and the surrounding area. With each successive place where I stood there was a noticeable decrease in car traffic. The conclusions are as follows, everyone enters the expressway earlier and does not drive on the old road to Radom, and the other part goes to their homes lined up along the road.

Traffic is quite fast, trucks can't stop as they drive fast. Cars can make it tho. Police was there 10min when I arrived I asked and they were okay. Saw 4 police cars and no one bothered me. I tried to go on the exit lane but also a bit before. After the 2nd car stopped, I accepted to get a ride to the border on the small road. Very empty place with some trucks. And there is no border in the highway. I don't recommend that option as the spots suck as it is empty even though I got a ride in 10min there.

Used this spot 2 times (couple and male alone) , got ride in 5 min to Myslenice twice. There is a traffic light just before so cars go reasonably slow and can see you from the traffic light. There is 3 lanes so make a big sign if you wanna go far. Personally just used my thumb as I wanted to go to Kosice.

Spot is nice in itself. Waited 2 hours, 1 car every 10 min from Hungary. Move precisely where the pin is to also catch trucks. Met  migrants walking. Walked there from the last station in Hungary, people going to Szeged can drop you there. Plan on having food and water as in the summer there Is no shadow at all.

I walked to the "toll" and tried to speak to people there. After one try the cashier send me away saying I was not allowed to hitch in the harbour area. I tried with thumbs further up the road then, but didn't get a lift. Bought a ticket for 13€ then. Check-in closes 30min before departure.
Maybe you could try to bypass the toll and speak to people when they are waiting in front of the ferry. But I didn't try that.

Spot qui n'a pas fonctionné du tout. J'y suis resté 4 heures, sans succès; un record absolu pour ma part. J'ai eu le droit de certaines voitures à des doigts d'honneurs et à des grimaces sans que personne ne s'arrête. Allant en direction de Marseilles, j'ai ensuite décidé de prendre le bus qui va le plus au sud de Lyon, à Feyzin où ça a bien mieux fonctionné; de nuit en plus! Cependant je ne recommande absolument pas l'entrée de Feyzin.

Walked along that road and settled at the end of the Karjlevo. It's fucking one single road, I wanted to go to Maglič which is 17min away, I sometimes used the sign maglic and sometimes none but it still took me 2hrs.. Never waited such a long time in such a straightforward road. But it's the best spot to go there anyway, cars go fairly slow.

This cross road is very good if you want to go to Poland or further via Poland. There are two ways:
TIP: Route 131 is better, than 132, because is prohibited for big trucks to use route 132.
Way nr. 1 (it splits later into few options)
1. All big trucks is going via route 131,  later joining A5 after Kalvarija, crossing the boarder Lithuania-Poland, at Budzisko, near Suwalki. At this place there is route nr. 8, which goes to Piotrkow Trybunalski via Augustow, Bialystok, Zambrow, Warszawa. From Piotrkow Trybunalski, there is two choices again -
Choice nr. 1 Take A2 from Lodz which is near Piotrkow Trybunalski, to go direction of Berlin via Poznan (cross the border at Frankfurt [Oder]).
Choice nr. 2 Carry on going on route 8 from Piotrkow Trybunalski to Wroclaw, there you can take A4, which later at Krzyzowa splits, again into two directions -
Direction 1 - cross the boarder at Gorlitz and go to Dresden
Direction 2 - cross the boarder Olszyna and go to Berlin
Either way you want to go Dresden or Berlin, from there is easy to reach countries like Belgium, Italy, Spain, France and others.

Nr. 2 way from the cross near Alytus: (This road is used by small trucks and small cars, usually they go only to next village/town)
Go to route 132 via Seirijai, Lazdijai. (After Lazdijai route 132 becomes route 135). Cross the border, near Ogrodniki and carry on going direction to Augustow via small village Macharce - route 16.
This route 16 will take you to Augustow, where you can join the route 8. So, from this point you can catch the big trucks, which was going via Santaika, Simnas, Krosna, Kalvarija and crossed the boarder Lithuania-Poland at Budzisko, near Suwalki.

If you are anywhere within the Valencia Cercanias area, including Gandia or even Castelleon (even going north!), please take the train to Les Valls and use this spot. From the station, walk a few hundred metres over the bridge and down the dirt road, pick an orange, before climbing over the fence. Hold out a sign for France, Barcelona, or for south, Murcia, Alicante, wherever... This place works day and night, and guarantees you a much faster ride on the AP-7 instead of waiting hours elsewhere for a ride on the N-340!

Well, you can probably hitch from here, but I refuse to believe that any of those (rare) cars go anywhere where you'd want to be going.

This is a bit of a special spot - it can be very rewarding if you're going north (don't bother if you're going south, service stations are a much better bet) - but it's super hard work to find the right spot to ask around (for example short term parking spots, although there are a lot of taxi drivers and people going to london), and there is so much going on... plus airport security might not really like you so much.

Petrol station in this town. Right after the station, there's a curve that leads uphill, straight out of town towards Knjazevac, Zajechar and further. 
All drivers and trucks that are going through eastern Serbia using this main road have to pass via this point. 
As it is still town and there's an uphill curve, traffic here is slow and visibility is very good. 
This is the most logical point to hitchhike in Svrljig into direction north (not to Nis).

This spot is good for getting a ride towards Bulgarian border if you happen to be in the city of Pirot. 

You are standing just after a junction where ~65% of locals join the highway, and all transit traffic have to pass towards east. There's a tunnel some 200 meters backwards, so drivers usually slow down as they get out of it and pass the junction. The road here is a bit wider in a way of helping shoulder track, so it's relatively safe for you to stand here and drivers to stop to pick you up. 

There's a small household just meters away with generous locals, where you can refill your bottle with water or so.

Sometimes there are few locals hitchhiking here as well towards Dimitrovgrad and a border with Bulgaria.

You can reach this spot walking some 10 minutes from the center of Pirot.

hitching point to places in eastern Serbia and further to Bulgaria (Vidin), Danube and Romania.

Visibility is average for cars getting off from motorway, but good for locals coming from Nis, as they have to slow down in the curve while joining the road. Average number of trucks here, but many cars willing to pick you up all the way to Zajechar (7km away from border point with Bulgaria, close to Vidin/Belogradchik).

Generally, vehicles have to slow down here. Downside is lack of any roadside store/restaurant/parking, these are available some 1500 meters further in the village Malcha (you're standing at the edge of a village).

Toll ramps on the motorway. Excellent spot for getting a ride to Belgrade/north. To that direction, you can also hitchhike at the petrol station 200 meters backwards next to Hotel NAIS, where, especially in summer months, you'll find dozens of transit vehicles having a short break, so you can even negotiate with drivers and get a quick seat. 
This toll ramps are also an average to good place for hitchhiking towards south/Macedonia.

This is the most far place that you can reach on foot from the city that still isn't motorway. You can try hitchhiking here towards Belgrade, but vehicles are 98% domestic. The greatest value of this place is being relatively good spot for taking a ride to Hotel NAIS / toll ramps on the motorway, what is ideal hitch spot for Belgrade/north, but also Skopje/Macedonia/south. You may spot other hitchhikers here as well, such are students or other locals. 95% of cars passing here are definitely going towards Hotel NAIS/toll ramps.

At this point, transit traffic consisted of long way going trucks and individual vehicles is joined by locals from Bela Palanka. There's small petrol/gas station mostly used by locals, and parking area used by trucks but not so frequently. 
This spot is okay for getting a ride towards Pirot, Dimitrovgrad and Bulgarian border or further. Visibility is average, but there is occasional police patrol standing nearby, so most frequent drivers slow down here. 

Here you can hitchhike if you get a ride from Nis till Bela Palanka, and want to go further east. You can walk to this point from the center of the Bela Palanka town in some 15 minutes. You're probably going to be the only hitchhiker here.

ideal hitchhiking position in the village of Prosek, actually a parking area for trucks and joint place for all the roads going from Nis towards Bulgaria and Turkey.

Here is a good spot, especially on friday, and week-ends.

Stay with a sign.

For Bordeaux, it could be smart to have a sign "Brive/Bordeaux": if the driver goes only to Brive, he can drop you at a big gas station before Brive called "Aire de la CorrÃ¨ze" and you won't experience much difficulty there.

Don't stay at the traffic lights 100m before as they are almost never on the red, and there is no place to stop.

an ESSO petrolstation on the "tangenziale nord" (A55) in the AOSTA and MILANO direction. i had bad luck here, did not found a driver in three hours (!) that could take me to AOSTA. i had two or three offers to travel to MILAN though. positive: there is a lot of traffic (but also many torino area commuters). the station is very clean and safe, the staff is friendly and speaks english. if your destination should be AOSTA or CHAMONIX (meaning: FRANCE), you should choose definitely another petrolstation (TAMOIL) circa 2,5 kilometer east of here near 'hotel GIGLIO' (see my other marker). this ESSO petrolstation here is difficult to reach as most of the italian stations are not to reach from the landside. there is always high fences (or locked gates) you need to climb over. take tram number -4- from the center of TORINO to the AUCHAN supermarket (corso vercelli/ corso romania corner to corso giulio cesare), walk along 'corso vercelli' westward around the two big block of flats. walk over the railway line on "strada provinciale di cuorgne" northward until the instersection to "strada communale di villaretto", walk on this road westward (underneath the airport motorway access road) and until the bridge over autostrada A4. you can see the station from here. you need to climb down the dam and get over the fence. this was the most stupid way of reaching a hitchhiking spot ever, congratulations if you have made it (!).

a TAMOIL petrolstation near 'hotel GIGLIO', in my eyes the only place to reach AOSTA and FRANCE from TORINO. positive: the station is very well kept, clean and with a lot of flowers and a nice garden. the staff is friendly. drivers that stop here can ONLY travel in the direction of AOSTA on autostrada A5 (E 612). very negative: there is almost no traffic (4-5 cars every half hour). the station is partly abandoned (the shop and the bar are closed). to reach this station from the center of TORINO it takes not more than 40 minutes. take tram number -4- from the center of TORINO to the AUCHAN supermarket (corso vercelli/ corso romania corner to corso giulio cesare), walk across the supermarket and take bus number -51- indicating "CIMITIERO SETTIMO TORINESE"  get of after three or four stops at the "PITTARELLO" shoe shop (you can ask the driver for help). walk in the direction the bus leaves underneath a motorway bridge, walk left over the TAV-railway-line on "via cebrosa" in northward direction. follow the signs to "hotel GIGLIO". walk over autostrada "A4". from the bridge you can also see two other petrol stations. one on your right side (direction: MILANO), one on your left side (direction: "TANGENZIALE NORD" and the "TUNNEL de FREJUS") also the "hotel GIGLIO"on your left side. use the switchback at the bottom of the dam of the bridge and walk back towards the ESSO station. behind it you find the hotel. walk further until the TAMOIL station. again: you need to be patient at this place but there are cars that can take you northward to AOSTA as well as FRANCE.

i have not hitchhiked from this spot but you should be able to reach the "TUNNEL de FREJUS" from here (meaning: FRANCE). the petrolstation in the opposite eastbound direction (MILANO and NOVARA) has moved 500 meters eastward (this satellite image shows an older picture). on how to reach this station from TORINO please see my comment for a TAMOIL station 300 meters northwest of here. there is a lot of traffic (going westbound) at this spot.

i have not hitchhiked from here but it should be possible to reach MILANO or NOVARA from here. this petrolstation has recently moved 500 meters eastward to here (the satellite image shown is older than that). to reach this station from the TORINO city center please read my comment for another station 500 meter northwest of here. it should not take more than 40 minutes to reach this place from the city.

an AUTOGRILL restaurant as well as a large petrolstation on A5 (E25) near IVREA in the direction of AOSTA and FRANCE. a perfect place to hitchhike! clean, safe, friendly, on my personal rating from 1 to 10 (1 = poor, 10 = excellent) a direct "10", EXCELLENT! you can reach AOSTA, the 'TUNNEL du MONTBLANC' as well as GENEVA from here.

on 'via parigi' (eng.: "paris road") there are a few traffic lights (wait until the light changes to red) from where you can reach COURMAYEUR, the autostrada A5 (E25) exchange 5 kilometers west of AOSTA or the 'TUNEL du MONTBLANC' behind courmayour. there is a lot of commuter traffic in the area so you should build a cardboard sign with you destination on it.

Good place to start from Odense, just stand on the upper side of ramp. Cars go pretty slowly, a lot of place them to stop.

it took me 5 minutes to catch an opportunity to go to GENEVA from here, waiting directly in front of the mouth of the tunnel. cars go very slow here as they are only let in the tunnel in a 150 meter distance to each other. there is cameras and the organisation that is observing the flow of traffic as well as the safety might not be too positive about you stopping cars here - but in the end - autostop works out very-very well at this place. there is a restaurant and a snack bar in the large administrational and police + customs building less than 30 steps from here. it is of course also possible to hitch to AOSTA, TORINO or GENOVA (on autostrada "A5"/"E25") from here in the opposite direction.
