A good spot to head for Macedonia.
The site is accessible by bus, and stop lights allow you to ask the cars where they're going.
A man going to Edessa dropped us off at the crossroads to the north 10km further on.

Very good spot to go to France

From Turin, it's better to take the bus to Rivoli and walk to the station rather than try to hitchhike elsewhere. The fence around the station is bent to the west and you can walk in without any problems. Be careful not to stick out your thumb as the police fined the young woman who did so; it's better to ask people directly when they stop to take a break,
A gentleman took us to the border in a few minutes.

Meilleur spot pour aller vers Saint-Brieuc/brest
Prendre le métro jusqu'à Kennedy et marcher un peu pour aller au spot. Une grande bande d'arret d'urgence permet aux voitures et poids lourds de s'arreter. 
Beaucoup d'autostoppeurs se mettent là, préparez à vous faire des amis ;)

Meilleur spot pour aller vers PARIS/LE MANS/RENNES

Best place to go to PARIS/LE MANS/RENNES
Accessible by bus, it's the best place I've found to go to Paris or the west of France.
At the traffic lights, ask the cars if they can drop you off at Parcay to go to Paris or Le Mans to go west.
I've done this dozens of times to get back to Brittany and I get caught in 10 minutes each time.

This is not a good place to head west, if you're heading towards Rennes, you'd better stop on the right of the town in the direction of Le Mans, if you're heading towards Angers, you can ask at the traffic lights if they can drop you off at the Jardins de Villandry service area 15km further on.
Taken in 30 min, then drive to Nantes

Wait with a big sign on the lawn after the Hungarian border control. So people can already see you/read the sign when their passports get checked. Great spot with space behind to park. Got a direct lift to Budapest with sign. A lot of people are probably afraid of taking a possible refugee and getting into problems. I think a creative sign could help, people have enough time to read it. Many German and Austrian cars.

Towards Bangko, Jambi, and further. Pretty easy to hitch to this turn from the city. A few cars were passing by, but maybe the third one stopped for us and it was a family going all the way to Jambi. We dropped off at Sarolangun. Once again make sure you have no intention to pay beforehand. Although we spoke a lot with the driver about what we do and how we travel, In the end, the driver asked me to pay 400k for 2 people which seems a lot for such a ride, and I managed to bargain until 200k.

We were standing near big mr.diy shop sign. Easy spot to get a ride to Lubuklinggau. But here once again the driver in the end asked to pay 100k, even though I asked him "apa gratis okay?" before getting in the car.

We got a direct ride to Jakarta from here. To get to this spot from the city take a yellow minibus "ampera — karya jaya", it's shown on the google maps as well, and it's correct. Say the driver you need simpang kramasan. The only thing that after 5 minutes of standing there, the annoying cop appeared and wanted us to leave from this turn to the main road. We didn't do it though and just walked down away from him a little, he only seemed confused. Gladly we got our ride after a few minutes.

A bit confusing place, there is a lot of space so asking around is a challenge and if you wait at the exit with a sign, people are already speeding up making it less likely to stop. People can speed up to the exit from 2 sides and hard to catch both. In the end, I gave up catching trucks and went for cars at the petrol station directly, probably a good decision.

Busy road but cars are going slowly since the roundabout. We’ve been told by the Volos local it is the best place for south Lamia/Athens direction. Even tried a place 700m down the road where traffic lights are. Had a sign with A1 highway. We’ve got even good reactions but no one took us. Had to took a train.

First we (me and husband) stood there with a sight to Landshut for 40minutes and nobody would take us, then we figured that it was a bad spot to go to the south as the resting-station is very near the city and also going to the wrong direction for us. When we decided to try and get just a lift to some random better stop we signaled just with our thumbs and within 5 minutes someone took us a few kilometers south to a better spot (to “Pendlerparkplatz Bad Abbach”)

The station exit is an awful place to hitch, cars don't have much space to stop, and the sound barrier wall is too short so you hear the very loud highway. Better skip it and go to the highway entrance just north of here.

Left Barcelona by train u told Castellbisbal, then walked 20 min, and just arriving the gas station the first truck driver I asked picked me up towards València. Best possible way to leave Barcelona going south. When you leave the train station, you'll have to cross the train tracks (not the ones you came from, the other of the fast train) you can do so by going under, I found water and I crossed the road by the highway bridge. The easier way is to pass by the bridge like cars do and take the dirt road towards it.

Going from Terjit to Tidjikja during ramadan I came to the police checkpoint. After a short dispute with the policemen he understood i wanna hitchhike but didnt let me, instead of it he hitchhiked for me. He got me a free ride in a truck. Was a nice ride, just had to keep watching the driver who was falling asleep cause of fasting in 40 degrees. The fact i got in with a help of police made passing further checkpoints easier (they called the terjit checkpoint to verify). The road to Tidjikja is paved and mostly in a good condition, but it was nearly empty (maybe also due to ramadan and off main turistic season time). With the truck it took like 8 hours.

A police checkpoint, again the police does the job for you. The police in Tidjikja is friendly and had no problem with me camping wild and hitchhiking. Sadly i had some brain failure when the policemen stopped a minubus and said this one goes to Nouakchott for 800, i just took it. I consider it as a mistake, but the fact is that up until Sangrave the road was deserted. If you are in a hurry you can take a bus to there and then continue hitchhiking. But also, there are beautifull places around Nbeika and Moudjeria, huge sand dunes, you might just want go there and call it a day there ;)

Best times to ask around are very early in the morning when people go buy breakfast at the bakery and at sunset.

Once have been "dropped" at the OMV station, it was no longer possible for the two of us to hitchhike on the A93 towards Regensburg. The busy road is fenced all the way around and crossing it would be very dangerous. The driveway is also leading in many directions from there what makes it difficult to hitchhike with a sign. Through a conversation, we were able to get a lift to the McDonald's on the opposite side of the road and continue from there.

I wanted to hitchhike towards Diama border crossing but then i saw that bus with people sitting on a roof and i didnt want to miss my chance for this experience especially when the guy said it costs 2000 senegalese francs, which is like 3 euros. At the end of the ride i realised he ment 10000 (fuck french, srsly), but he got 7500 (guess i still overpaid). Well it was a nice safari, i saw acrocodille, monkeys, wild pigs. But also had to pay 200 MRU for the national park as a white skin tax. If you have a chance just hide yourself at the checkpoint. The road was in a good shape and with some trafgic till Keur Macene, then it was an unpaved road with traffic tgat seems mostly consisting of buses and taxis. But you might be lucky.  I'd just be nervous about getting stuck in this area over night cause of the crocodilles.

Direction--->everywhere
Slow cars and vans from the ships/cruises are about to start their journey, most of them smiled or waved at me. Also those driving from "parking north" (opposite the ship i was in) pass by here. As less long-range drivers and tourists pass by there, I don't think the yellow northern spot on this hitch-map could be more strategic.
If the lane on the right is closed, you can stand and wait. Just be respectful of traffic and police will tell you nothing. Some tourists asked me for info and wished me good luck.
Nearby buses regularly connect the train station. 9:30am to Vatican and Rome.
A very young guy took me to Rome after 2h when i hid my sign to Rimini, however i could have waited longer for a further ride.

April 2022. After a whole year travelling across Turkey and learning how to become a nomad while waiting for Iranian border to re-open as well as escaping pandemic, after a whole winter in Georgia. Finally i came again to Doğubeyazıt and got a relaxing ride by a truck. I was so excited and speechless that i even fell asleep on the way to Gürbülak. You have to leave the car and walk through the border, that's quicker. I found the same truck on the other side and they hosted me in Marand.

It's one of the places in the desert region of Morocco where we waited the longest for a ride. Nevertheless, we had some of the most memorable hitchhiking experiences here in Morocco (with a film producer heading to a Netflix film set in the middle of nowhere and with a super lovely Moroccan couple heading towards Zagora very late in the evening).

Waited 30 minutes and found a ride with a friendly construction worker to Tarragona.
The service station is easily accessible, no fence hopping required!
On a Monday, there was lots of traffic and people were friendly when we talked to them.

A small gas station with not a lot of traffic and many people don't go far. Nonetheless, there are some tourists on this route and we (2) ended up finding a ride within 30 minutes or so to Murcia (could have gone further to Cartagena and continued the next day with them to Málaga).
In the end we decided to visit Málaga and take a BlaBlaCar from there.
The A7 is challenging to hitch-hike, because there are very very few service stations. If there are any, they are often off the highway. Had we not found a ride straight to Murcia, I think we might have been stuck there.
However, if you want to go further (Granada, Málaga), try to find a ride that takes you at least to Granada. This will be hard to find, but probably worth it.

It took us about an hour to find a ride here. We tried both, standing with a sign at the road and asking around at the gas station. In the end, asking around worked, but there is a lot of local traffic! Try to find somebody to get you onto the highway, then take it from there.
Standing with a sign didn't work at all for us. Cars are very fast and it's hard for them to stop. I think it can work, but probably the gas station is the safer way to find a ride.

I came here by direct bus from Camerino 3€ via Contram app. Don't follow GMaps, no one crosses Albacina. A lot of viewability + space to stop, no police. It's legal to hitch here. To Rome, Fabriano west works better.

Narrow toll entrance road, illegal to stop after the roundabout, carpooling happens on the exit side of the toll booth. If you stand at the roundabout, then you miss the cars coming from Urbino.

We tried to hitchhike a ferry to sweden which is possible but not super easy from here. We were standing in front of the check in gates. Cars are waiting  in line there so you can talk to the people if they take you. We asked the employees of Stenna lines ferry company and they told us that the number of passengers matter and people were also showing their passports to them. So it seemed like that with stenna lines it does not work. to hitchhike. But maybe the workers did not really say true and if you would come to the gate already in a car that you hitched maybe it is not a problem to change the number of passengers without aditional fee. But they said you need to pay extra for more passengers.
Second ferry company TT lines had no workers on the gates so people were doing self check in on a machine. So even though they also have number of passengers in their ticket they could take you since there is no one to check it. We did not really found willing drivers though.
You could also try to just walk around the gates and directy to the parking where cars wait for the ferry. It seems doable to sneak around but we did not try. You could also try to come with a bike, sneak around the gates and jsut drive on a bike to the ferry with the cars. It depends how much they watch the cameras at the gates.
The check in gates for going to Denmark are directly next to the ones for sweden so after a while of trying for sweden we gave up and took a lift just to denmark. On the ferry to denmark the number of passengers does not matter so it is an easy thing to do.

The review on the north side pin is really accurate! The gate on the south side was open when i came, showers are working either at the petrol station and downstairs the restaurant on this side.
İ tried my first solo tablediving here thanks to a cute american family sitting next to me wasting a big rice mozzarella dish.
Nearly 10 drivers stopped but they all were going north, a truck driver polish lady came to offer me food, a man stopped just to show me his drum while i was playing mine :D i really didn't wish to leave this service station however after 5 hours waiting for a ride to east (Rimini) i gave up 7pm and accepted the next ride offer.

Not too bad, most people here are only locals and not going far, or just ignore, but 1 local couple picked me up and took me to Kalamata after only 45 mins. Open side of road for cars to pull over after the turn just down from petrol station

The best spot to get a ride further south. At the very end of the tunnel is an (emergency) rest stop, which is pretty close to the roundabout. The cars slow down and often stack on this roundabout so ther have enough time to see you.

10 minutes from the bus stop Kauno plentas. I arrived around 11h30 on a Monday, and with a signe to Klaipeda. Somone took me to Kaunas. Nice spot, but no shadow, cars go kinda fast already. Still, you get all the Trafic from Vilnius to Kaunas.
Note : there is an underpass just before the spot, might be worth trying to reach it from the other side. Crossing the out and on lane before arriving to the spot might be sketchy when there are a lot of people. It would be a pretty long

Good spot, there were many people on holidays driving to Split or coming from the coast driving towards Zagreb. Mc Donald's and gas station is seperated in the two parts to the directions, cars can't cross that line, people can, so you immediately know who drives in which direction. Sunday noon there weren't many people towards Rejika, though after some hours a business man took us directly to Rejika. (he stopped the car in the middle of the highway in Rejika and told us to leave the car to get to a bus station from there.. *wtf*!?)

Ha ha ha, what should I say, guys? Last time I wrote that this spot is not convenient, and the next time after 20 mins wait (around 7.45 pm) a car from the main road pulled over. The car was going to Trondheim, my final destination. 
Maybe I was lucky that day. But as an experienced hitch-hiker I would technically avoid this spot. I suggest Elverum roundabout which is more convenient and all the traffic is the same.

The place seems good to hitchhike but yet I waited a long moment before I was driven to a highway gas station about 20km from there. Lots of place to stop but apparently didn't work so good. 
Bus to get there from center of Bordeaux is 31 (also may connect with Tram B), and easy to access. Only issue is that the bus stop is just before both directions for the highway, so probably many people go the other direction.
Also (and finally), I had a sign saying "España", which might have been too ambitious, Bayonne/Arcachon probably makes it more realistic

Excellent place with many cars and enough space for the drivers to stop and load luggage. We used it on a Saturday (around 3 p.m.) for the 10th Swiss Hitchhiking Championship on our way to Annecy.

This spot just doesn't work. The cars cannot stop along the whole road. The south side of this highway access is much better, however it takes some time to cross the highway (it's forbidden and rather dangerous to cross via this bridge, so you have to use the other bridge in the west).

Somehow, we managed to being picked up on the parking lot, but this was pure luck and the person just dropped us at the next highway exit (Matran) which we can really recommend.

A great spot with lots of traffic. Drivers can stop at the petrol station and the small jams at the round-about allowes direct communication. We used the spot during the 10th Swiss Hitchhiking Championship and got a ride to Bulle.

The large shopping center (a new one just opened its doors as we stopped here) may bring some local traffic to this spot, which may be a plus for medium distances.

Good spot to go towards Zumaia or further West on the coast. You have to walk aside the road for a bit, not much space to get there but cars pay attention, and then there's a spot for cars to stop and they see you from far away. I barely had the time to raise my thumb that someone stopped to bring me to Zumaia and then continue further West

Good for cars who go West in the coast road, and easy to stop with the gas station 
To go the reverse direction there's also a bus stop just in front

Great spot for hitchhiking towards Ostrava, there is a bus stop as well as a petrol station. Consider moving along so that there is enough space for the cars to pull over - there is a red light directly next to the bus stop. Can be good because the drivers see you, but when it's green light the cars pass by quite quickly.

Very easy spot to leave Pesaro without going far away. I started hitchhiking here to play music in the streets of Rimini recently and got 5 rides in less than 10 minutes - especially in the mid-afternoon with less traffic. A lady even turned back at the roundabout to pick me up in the morning. They averagely dropped me in Cattolica or Misano as furthest.
Compared to drivers in next towns, people here are more smiley, reactive and interested in conversation. Still, they'll go out of their way, like a girl who drove 30 more kms just to exchange ideas.
Come here by bus 30, 130, 14 (direct) or CS (10 minutes walk).

It took a while to find a ride here, but eventually I managed to get to Jerez from here. The driver was a gardener who was working for one of the hotels in the area, really friendly dude who dropped me off at a great spot to continue to Sevilla.
I was there in early June, so many of the holiday homes were still preparing for the season. Maybe your chances are better (or worse, I can't tell), in high season, as there will be much more people.

You should NOT hitchhike here. First there is always heavy traffic on this road and the cars have very little space to stop so it is dangerous.

Second: car at this spot goes to very different directions. Some will take the highway, some will go to north some to east.

It is an extremely inpractial spot. You should go couple hundred meters to east either to the highway intersection (if you'll go towards Budapest or Debrecen) or to over the big roundabout under the bridge.

Honestly I have no idea why people would use this spot.

There is a gas station and cafeteria with good amounts of trucks coming. I was here twice, at 1:30-3:00 am and then at 6:30 in the morning. At night time there was nice amount of trucks, but still - a lot of trucks goes to the industrial zone and not further.
Maybe it was because I didn’t knew how to catch a truck, but I had hard time hitching for a ride in the morning aswell, and at the end I stood with a sign and thumb at the exit to catch cars that have filled their tanks and cars that only pass here to cut the line off the main road.

This is an amazing gas station for:
Murcia, elche, alicante and almansa!

There’s a big gas station and big parking area with a few restaurants.
I got here and found a truck for elche in no time. There’s a considerable amount of people coming and leaving.

The only trucks that will go to valencia from here are trucks that had to unload in a place nearby before so it’s less common.
To get to valencia, this isn’t so good as you might think, because the main highway for valencia is up north.
You can try your luck hitching from here to valencia, or you can hitch a ride from here to 12km AFTER almansa where you have the *most amazing* service station in which you can get a lot of rides to valencia and even to Barcelona.

It’s open 24h and has a (great) restaurant. It is super known and frequented by trucks. There’s also a fair amount of tourists that do 100km+ rides. The trucks literally stand in line for you.
A lot of trucks go to valencia.
People do go to Gandia from here, also trucks, but you’ll need to search for it.

I haven’t been to the other side of the highway but it seems identical for those going west.

I have left from this spot SO many times. Best way to go North out of the valley. Take the lightrail all the way east to Gilbert Rd. Take the Gilbert Rd bus (doesn't run Sundays) all the way north. Walk about two more miles to where Gilbert road ends. Guaranteed rides, no cop harassment. Everyone is going at least to Fountain Hills, a good half the traffic is heading to Payson or beyond. I have started trips to Flagstaff, Payson, Chinle, Moab, Las Vegas, Santa Fe, and more from this spot. Worth it to take this highway over the I-17 any day.  Wait times tend to be short.

Cars were going fast, didnt get a lot of reactions from the drivers and no car stopped even though there was so much space. After an hour of trying at that spot a big thunderstorm came and I decided to give up. There was a electronic shop with nice employees which gave me shelter from the storm and provided me with drinks and cigarettes <3

The spot is good but there are lots of people going to Nicea. It's really the best spot to get a ride to Italy or to the east because there aren't really any other spots that are closer to the border.
Do not settle for a ride to Nicea or Monaco if you want to get to Italy because there arent any more stations on the highway later on until Italy.
We didn't see much succes on the gas station itself but we got a ride to Milan with a trucker from the parking. There are lots of trucks going far.
The service is very nice and you can power your phones and other devices in many places in the station. There is also a lot of space with tables and chairs on the outside to cook and eat.
If u dont manage to get a ride until the sunset, there is a good place to sleep behind the station by the revolving door in the bushes. It's hidden from the bigger road but seen from the smaller road on which there are almost no cars. To get there you have to get around an old fence. No need for a tent because there are almost no mosquitos. The station closes at 2 am and opens at 3am so when we asked they told us we can sleep on the couch or somewhere in the inside of a station but u would have to leave at 2am and wait an hour and u can come back at 3am.

After hitchiking for like 3 hours from the other bus station (Karl-Huber-gasse), we decided to go to this one (Dr.-Lister-gasse) a Slovenian guy stopped. There is a lot of space for cars to stop in the bus lane and it is probably the only convenient spot to leave Graz towards south. Good luck!

This spot really sucks. If you wanna get out of Graz (besides maybe not going there at all lol) you have to go to the bus station that's situated like 300 metres before this one (Dr-lister-Gasse).

This is definitely a better way how to get to maribor from this area, because many slovenians take the old road instead of the highway. We got picked up by the first car, but maybe we were just lucky. To get there you just have to walk a little bit down from the gas station, like 5 minutes.

We tried it with a sign at the end of the gas station, but it was too late and it was a thursday evening, so not a lot of cars. After 1 hour of trying we asked a croatian couple to give us a ride and they did, all the way to Rijeka. Also a tip: if you want to sleep in Rijeka, try the beach. definitely the best spot. The one we slept on is the Glavanovo beach, there is a lot of stairs to get there so no poeple want to go there at night and you have your own personal shower and swimming pool in the morning! Also locals don't care about people sleeping on the beach.

Only one car stopped and they took us to a complete nowhere village on the way to Zagreb, when we wanted to go down south through Jadranska Magistrala. It is probably a good place if you want to go to Zagreb, but if you prefer the old road, it is best to take a bus out of the center and hitch hike from there.

We got picked up by a guy going all the way to Split, but he needed to do something in Šibenik, so he left us at a restaurant and promised to come back for us and he didn't.

Most cars are going to the highway from 2 directions, so it's the best chance to get out of Split. We got picked up after 1 hour and 30 minutes by a guy going to Sinj, so additionaly you can do a sign for Sinj and then asked to be left at Dugopolje, where you can hitchhike from the tolls.

This is definitely the best way to get to Zadar/Zagreb fast, but you have to wait a long time or be lucky.

This place is probably good if you're feeling heroic enough, because it is extremely dangerous. there is like 5 lanes from both directions and cars are going very fast from both sides. If you're going south, it's probably good, but we were trying for Hungary and we weren't even brave enough to cross the road to get there. We decided to take a bus (and tram and then another bus) to Sesvete and start from there.

This place is probably your best chance to leave Zagreb in direction of Hungary. We waited for  1 hour, but eventually one guy stopped and took us to Varaždin. That's where you should aim with your sign - there is a gas station there to try from.
The stickers from hitchhikers are not there anymore. But it's funny because you're hitchiking directly from under the no autostop sign. Croatians are mostly picking up hitchhikers, but it all depends on the time of day and your direction.

It's a gas station, so you have to ask people. We tried hitchhiking for 1 hour and then we asked some czech people (we're also czech) to take us and they were also going to lake Balaton. We got beer and they eventually stayed in the same camp as we did so it was a lot of fun. I always hesitate to ask people but it's usually fruitful, so don't be afraid! the worst that can happen is that they say no and you will never see them again.

A good place if you're heading north (CZ/SK/Wien) but there is mostly locals and not enough tourists. We got lucky and got a ride to the border. Unfortunately it was too late in the evening so we decided to take a train from Hegyeshalom to Wien (nobody went to check out tickets there so we rode for free lol).
We had a sign for CZ/SK, but I think Wien or Bratislava would be better if you're going to Czechia (Brno).

Easy free ride out of ume, hitching from ume is waste of time and this option is recommended. Get on any train that goes to hörnefors which is next stop south after umeå östra. Go to the other side of the train from staff and they will not have time to check ur ticket. (If they would, just get off at hörnefors anyways, they might get mad but won't do anything.

Although this, the place kinda sucks. Just a lot of internal traffic close to a mall.

Perhaps, if the stars align, you can get lucky here. At least the cars are slow and have space to stop before the traffic light.

You can’t hitchhike to Yamagata on this road. It’s the city centre and all the cars use the middle and 3rd lanes to go to Yamagata, and drive fairly fast.

I had luck with an exceptionally nice man who took me to a great CESPA gas station located on the c16 which has traffic that goes to Andorra.

If you’re headed to Andorra and found a hitch to Manresa you’d better ask the driver to stop in the gas station I described - area de servicio monserat.
There’s usually multiple cars a day going straight to Andorra. (Especially after 9-10)

This is a tricky spot for andorra.
I’ve been here at the evening and slept here and at the morning got a hike almost to andorra.

I’ve talked a few hours with the staff, this is my reconnoissance findings:

Multiple cars a day are Andorrans going straight to andorra. Mainly in the morning 9-14.
Spaniards also go here to Andorra.

If you’ll be patient, you’ll find a hike to Andorra. It’s also easy to go to manresa, but if you go to andorra you shouldn’t waste this place.

There’s woods right in front you can sleep there.

The staff at the gas station are super useful. If you see Oscar tell him Yuval sends hello!

150m before this one there’s a junction where two traffic lights are, and traffic comes not so fast, with good visibility of you. Although, cars don’t have a dedicated spot to stop. They would need to go mount the bike lane to stop for you…

I got a ride pretty quickly. Would agree that the spot might not be perfect — not that much traffic unless you go to the roundabout. Also, the people stopping at McDonalds seem to be going in other directions than Amsterdam. My luck came from the direction of the hotel, where someone was heading towards the city.

Worst case there is a train station close to it, so you can easily get into the city if you are not lucky.

Got very lucky at this spot. Didn’t even start raising my thumb, I was checking out the area and the speed of the cars first, and a man who was filling up his car with some gas saw with my backpack and directly asked me where I was going. I was going to Strasbourg and he left me in Haguenau, which is near. Looks like the people who are filling up gas are going into further directions, so it’s important to catch their attention and even go ask them directly.

Okay I waited a long time, but I was trying to avoid paris as much as possible to head to britanny. It was on a Sunday morning, 7h to 9h, very few cars. My plans was to head to the station on the A10. Many people going to Paris of course. After 2h20min I got a ride to rennes and further ! noiiiice. Overall I would say that it's a decent station to avoid Paris. MY ADVICE: know your way and don't hesitate to refuse rides. It might sound challenging but it can be definitely worth it, you don't want to be stuck in Paris area.

Wonderful view, calm border with almost only trucks. Came from Kars, got a truck ride in Çildir, walked to the gas station where the tir parking guys do speak Turkish + Georgian so they can help you. Only 3 cars in a hour so better to ask truck drivers! Got a ride by a tractor carrying hay they took me to collect more hay uphill and showed me the first village, while a fourth car of dutch tourists filmed us from behind.

REMINDER * if you go to Tbilisi, trucks drive the Akhaltsikhe-Borjomi-Kashuri way as the Tsalka route is not allowed to them. So you can first go to Ninontsminda and then hitch to Tbilisi or Armenia.

My first try finding a spot to the A27 (-> Hannover) and I got a bit lucky, I guess. At both of the petrolstations weren't many cars and most of them locals or heading in the direction of Osterholz-Scharmbeck/Bremerhaven. I

If you got a ride to Uddevalla/Torp/shopping mall, choose this ramp. There is one more ramp 900 meters to north, but that ramp is not convenient on evenings because of much much less traffic. 
But this spot is perfect if you're heading north.

Much traffic going north (Sweden, Denmark, Norway). I was going back to Norway, asked a Norwegian driver, but his car was full. Then after 10 minutes a girl with a small dog came to me and asked me "Hi, What is your story?". Hehe then she asked me if I had a driving licence and if I drank alcohol that day. So she was going to Gøteborg and then to Stockholm. She asked me if I would like to join her and help her driving to Copenhagen. So I became her driver that day and did it to Copenhagen. 

At that gas station you should even use "Oslo" sign :))) it is what I exactly did - I had 3 signs, i.e. Bremen, Hamburg, Oslo.

I appeared at this spot accidentally because my previous driver accidentally made a mistake and took other way to Leverkusen than he planned before. Anyway, this spot was not convenient in my case because I was trying to get back to A1. Anyway, I didn't have any other option when I got there. After approx. 1 hour a kind soul helped me, drove some extra kilometers and took me to the gas station at Burscheid on A1.

Drivers can pick you up easily in front of the gas station. You can also ask drivers directly at the gas station if you prefer. You get there from Crikvenika by walking up the access road and then along the road for a few hundreds meters, the cars arent going too fast and there is enough space by the side so its not dangerous to get there. There's no shadow though so it can get very hot in summer.

Hard spot. Hard to get to (you must either walk along the highway all the way from the border or walk through the small village (Mahala Garata) before it and jump though the fence to the highway. There's a parking lot with few tracks or people taking a break. Also ruins where you can sleep. Police was quite chill with me being there, but nobody wanted to stop for me. I waited like 4 hours then one trucker took me. 
If you're lucky you can stop someone, if not, place becames a bit of a trap (no bus/train close from it).

Went to this on ramp late, hitching south, but still bright out. There is a TA and airport right next to it but not as much traffic as you'd expect. Plenty of room to pull over and time to see you, but I was at that spot for almost 2 hours and didn't have anyone stop. Tried again the next morning for an hour but experienced even less traffic. You'll have better luck flying directly at the TA's. The cops won't mess with you here though, had multiple drive past without saying anything, and one even ask where I was headed (presumable to give me a ride).

Very sunny spot, no shade whatsoever. Next to a truck stop so plenty of room on the on ramps to pull over. Traffic was very scarce so I thought it'd be a whole, but the first trucker to pull in picked me up. Probably felt bad about the heat. In a pinch probable wouldn't be a bad place to highway walk (if you don't get any rides) Doesn't seem like there was a police presence nearby at all.

I stood at the split between the exit and the motorway on the concrete section, trying to head north. There is a fairly wide shoulder for cars to pull over. Cars were going fast. Although the police saw me, they didn’t do anything, even though it's still a motorway with "no pedestrian" signs. I can't really recommend, but the place "works".

At the motorway entrance, there isn't much traffic. 
I went to the next entrance, a roundabout, where cars go much slower. However, the shoulder is narrower, plus traffic to Napier turns east earlier.

Waited directly on the ramp which ment all the cars had to pass me which was ideal.
Not the safest spot because it's on the ramp and not too much space to stop, but the afternoon traffic (5.30PM) made the cars slow which was great.

I flew right in front of the truck exit and didn't get a ride after over 4 hours. Most truckers here are either going west, or can't pick up hitch hikers because of their insurance/company policy. Got cash kick downs, but no ride offers. Another hitcher was flying at the i80 east on-ramp and was there as long as I was with no luck. In the future I'd just forgo this spot entirely.

There is a really nice camping spot 30 minutes from here. Walk across the bridge, and hop the fence at the gasstation on the other side of the highway. There is a little trail that you can follow for +-20 minutes, which brings you to a little forest near some houses, right next to lake Råsjö. Awesome

We crossed from Georgia to Russia on a Monday morning in July 2024, then back on a Sunday afternoon. Some things for hitchhikers to note:
-It can be cold and rainy even in summer, be prepared.
-Line of cars were backed up on both sides all the way to the borders. It's very far from one border to another, but the traffic was so bad that it was faster to walk. For the love of all that's holy, if the traffic is backed up all the way to customs, WALK!!!! You are SO lucky, you're the only person who is not tied to waiting for a car. On the return trip we stupidly decided to stay with our ride and we spent over 9 hours in the line. Just get out and walk, please.
-We'd heard you couldn't cross the border walking, but nobody stopped us on the Georgian side. You just need a car to cross customs on the Russian side, after that, say thanks to your ride, and get out and walk.. 
-There are two tunnels. At the first tunnel we got in a car going to Vladikavkaz, but ended up sitting in line for hours, we should have walked.
-We ended up getting out and walking after a while, but were stopped within sight of the Russian checkpoint, so we got in another car at the front of the line. Probably saved an hour or two by just getting out and walking ten minutes.
-If you choose to walk the tunnels, wear a facemask, the pollution inside is quite heavy, but you can cross in 15 minutes or so, so it's doable. Ideally have a flashlight too, as tunnels are quite dim, and there are a lot of broken bottles on the ground. Make sure to walk on the right of traffic against tunnel wall,NOT in the middle, as cheaters cut the line and zoom around very recklessly.
-Go to the bathroom BEFORE you cross. There are portapoties on the bridge, but they have poop piled up since the time of the tsars.
-Exchange any money you need before crossing. In Russia, foreign bank cards don't work, and you can only exchange money at banks for very bad rates.

I spent a night at this gas station and initially tried to hitchhike towards Wroclaw. However, I decided to aim for Hradec Kralove, the nearest large city on the way to Poland. This change of plan worked out well. The next morning, I secured a ride within 60 minutes.

Most of the traffic consists of locals heading to nearby small towns, making it challenging to hitch longer distances from here. On the bright side, there is a nice McDonald's with a free toilet, a beautiful lake nearby where you can pitch a tent, and an underground passage to the other side of the highway.

Great spot to Moldova. Many locals from all backgrounds travel together here in busses. Russians, Romanians, Moldovans and Ukrainiansm Don't bother using a sign, it's expected to talk to people who park there for several reasons. They are very willing to help you find a ride. Use Google translate if you don't speak the language. You will need a passport to enter Moldova and be prepared to wait at the border, but it is truly worth it. A friend and I waited for 90 minutes, most buses were full but we got great help. At the end a Moldovan tour bus took us with them through northern Moldova all the way to Chisinau, for free without any problems.

Cops came shortly after I started hitching. Said it was illegal to solicit a ride at any on/off ramp, and kicked me out. Maybe if you get a ride quick enough it doesn't matter, but the police are not kind to hitch hikers. The actually spot was pretty good, high traffic area and enough room to pull off. With the police presence though, I wouldn't recommend this spot.

There is a parking near shop, convenient for drivers to stop. Although road doesn't really lead anywhere but border, had to wait for 1,5 hour. Anyway the spot is great if you are going from NS/Subotica by free road to small border.

Not a good place to get picked up. Absolute freak on way to parole meeting picked me up, worst hitch of my life. Won't go into detail but very sexual and I feared for my life.

The on ramp here was pretty dead, most of the traffic is going north and then either headed east or west along the 80. Eventually walked on the interstate and flew a sign there. More traffic will see you, but speed limit in this area was 70-75, so I wouldn't expect many people to stop here. The couple that picked me up said they drove past at first and then decided to come back around and pick me up. Got a straight ride to Denver though. Can't remember how long it took as I was walking along the interstate awhile before actually flying. Maybe 20-30-ish minutes actively flying?

Eventually another one to kristiansund stopped and took me over the bridge to the better spot at the rest area. For kristiansund this is great, for trondheim maybe the rest area is better, you can walk over the bridge.

Good spot there is a sitting area in front of the gas station were you can confidently sit with a sign and ask the drivers as they park right in front of you. I think we got lucky because the drivers felt sorry for us.

Really bad place to hitchhike. There is a lot of homeless people around this place, which means they annoy the drivers and they just leave the place as soon as possible. If you are heading towards Szeged/Serbia/Romania, make it yourself easier and take the train to Inárcs-Kukacs and walk to the gas station over there. It takes 40 minutes from the railway station but it is the best option for you.

Excellent for Sleeping: we asked the workers and they allowed us to sleep in a upstairs area were it was warm and private. I even took some pillows from a sofa there.

Almost no cars going to Germany. Here is how to we got to Germany: walk along the highway for 5 minutes (direction luxembourg) and exit the highway onto the first bridge that comes up. From there walk left and you will reach a train station that will take you to luxembourg for free. From there use your Deutschlandticket for the train to Koblenz.

Saw that most reviews around this road are a bit dated (>10 years). But also in 2024, hitchhiking eastward out of Ushguli towards Tsageri/Kutaisi remains an adventure. On the short distance, ongoing road constructions make it relatively easy to get short rides from construction crews in all sorts of vehicles. But where these end, traffic is very sparse and walking some of the way might be worth it, especially since the surroundings are just spectacular.

There's a space next to the road where people can stop safely and it's on a straight road so the cars have  plenty of time to spot you and think about it.

Great spot for going West. Two other hitchhikers and I was all picked up by the same guy. 
Sign said "Clermont-Ferrant". I stood at the parking after the toll. Maybe better to stand directly at the toll on the platform between the lanes. Seems scary but it's okay. Cars slow down and see you big smile more clearly. :)

Sign said "A89, ouest. Brive-La-Gaillard / Bordeaux".
Was going to Brive. 
Started out by standing at the parking lot after (north of) the toll. After 45 minutes it didn't work and it was getting late, I when to the platforms between the toll booths. Right on the platforms between the lanes. Seems sketchy but it's okay. Got a ride there after additional 30 minutes going all the way to Brive.

There is a good sleeping spot if you go all the way back to the metal gate a climb a steep hill to the right, there are some old benches and a place to pitch your tent.

15-20 minutes, which is not bad, but position not really good for a hitchhike. If you will go on ramp u will see the "no pedestrian blah blah blah" sign and others. So best strategy is to stay little before it and stay on corner. There is traffic light and long way before you. So drivers have a planty of time to see you.

Although I got a ride within ten minutes it's not the best spot to be. There is little to no space for a vehicle to stop. Google Maps / Streetview is showing old images. Zebra crossing is gone, road is smaller now. Also no option for cars to stop on the bridge as well.

Yes. I got a ride to Napoleon from here. But I was there and nearby for almost 10 fckn hours. I was staying in 5 different spots. And nothing. The best to get out from there: ask people directly at a gas station, make a sign and seat nearby a gas station so people will see you and stay on exit of gas station and McDonald, witch helped me. But if you can avoid - do that. That's not worth it. But Woodburn is a really good place and strong community. Was walking on a street and looking for a place to put a tent and a ranod guy approach on a car and offer to sleep on his backyard. And then his neighbor said I can sleep in his new camper. Good place but awful hitchhike

If you stay in the car until nordkapp, as of 2024 they WILL charge you 17 NOK  (€1.50) per person in the car, on top of the car fee. If you need to avoid that, ask to get out here, at the nordkapp 500m sign, (it is invisivle from the ticket boots, but has not much space, so warn your driver in advance) and then walk off the road a few hundred metres to nordkapp (the terrain is fine/flat and you can see some cute reindeer).

Perfect spot to go to Neuvic or Bort-les-Orgues
Standed here for 5 mins with a written sign "Neuvic". There is a small space for cars to park, cars are slow enough to see your sign. Perfect !

Good Spot some parking place before they slow down so they definitely have a little time to stop waited 15 min got a nice ride directly to the boarder my sign was for Korca or Bilisht he was driving over Zëmblak to Korca there would be a good spot  at the full station to stay just one street  leading to go to the boarder. Hope that helps.

Probably a great spot if you want to go to helsinki (two cars stopped within one hour and offered to take me there, and many slowed down to read my sign that said "Jyväskylä" and shook their heads). 
no one stopped for jyväskylä, but the bus stop in the other direction is convenient for getting to stop'n go grill (see there for further comments).

Small rest stop on route 4. Not the most convenient to reach by foot (take a bus to "Mäkeläntie"[don't trust the timetables on google maps!!], then walk for about 45mins on the street until you reach a bridge, then there's a path in the forest and a door in the fence right in front of stop'n go grill). 
i waited there for about 90mins, but the sun was already going down so not a lot of traffic. in the end, got a lift all the way to jyväskylä.

Got a lift til Lahti in 60mins, and several offers to get taken to the highway. 
I stood just _before_ the traffic lights, which was recommend to me by a local passing by. (maybe that's good because drivers don't accelerate yet, don't have to stop at the bus station (where indeed many busses stop), and still have enough time to pull over into the empty space next to the street (which at this point is still within in city limits so no need to worry about "stopping on the highway") idk.)

I got stuck there on a cold and rainy night. A car going to Hamar stopped, but it was not on my way. After an hour came a police car, we had a nice chat and they recommended me to wait and get warm in McDonalds, which is 24/7 open. The police was worried about me staying next to a 80-90km/h lane, which is next to the roundabout. Technically this spot is good, but the combination of darkness (there are lights there) and a Norwegian rain was not perfect in their opinion. But McDonalds was a good choice.

Decent spot to get onto US 101, as there's a largish gravel shoulder before the on-ramp where people can stop. First car which stopped (5 mins waiting) didn't go in my direction, second one (15 mins) took me all the way to the Port Angeles area. If you're not finding a ride, there's a bus station nearby, as well as places to buy drink and food.

Very easy to hitchhike towards Pejë. Of you go on a hike in this area you can easily count on somebody to bring you back.

In this spot there is a very friendly Kosovan man who camps on the river. He has a lot of signs like hotel and café. That is kind of a joke, but he will actually offer you coffee and even a place to sleep if needed I think. He will also show you all of his funny constructions he made there.

BE AWARE: he says he has been drinking the water in the river for 15 years and never had a problem: "the fish drink, so I drink" is his motto. DON'T TRUST HIM. The three of us all got sick from that water, and it must be that since we haven't eaten the same stuff for the rest (made the stupid choice of also filling our bottles there)

Not that much space to stop, but there's isn't much traffic and since it's after the roundabout cars are not that fast, and they can see you from afar and stop for you.

I went to that place with the Bus because I thought it might be the best Spot for hitchhiking to Bolzano. This might not be false but directly at the Spot is a big sign wich says "no autostop" . One police car was also driving next to me, but they didnt do anything. I still tried to get a ride there but the cars were a little bit to fast and had no really good Option to stop. Furthermore there was absolutly no shadow and it was extremly hot so I had to quit hitchhiking after 20-30 minutes..

Not a great spot. I was left there by the first car who took me from Rennes. Difficult to stop for the car even though there was at least some cars passing by. 10:30 am in middle of August.

Good spot even though it is not a gas station. There is a little snack house so when I was left her around noon, there was a lot of cars. I asked the first guy i encountered 
and he offered me a ride to Caen.
