Deutscher Rasthof Weil am Rhein
Really small traffic. I was lucky and had a ride to Freiburg with a fire truck after 30 minutes. Gas station on second side Is similiar, also bad traffic And past time after 3 hours I gave up.rating: 2/5, wait: 30 min, ride: 59 km ↑

Quite good spot, even on quiet days. Girl alone took me around 20-30 minutes. Both asking people and just standing around with a sign.

Not a lot of cars stop here as far as I've experienced, but is still a good option for going North from Basel. If you were planning on catching a ride with a truck, don't hope too much if you are trying this on Sunday or Saturday, they are all unavailable

I tried hitchhiking here but had no luck. It takes a long time for people to come back to their cars from the Burger King so from my experience the gas stop looks like a better option.

This is a small gas station on the A5 highway that is the main road to north from Basel. Everyone that wants to get north fast and needs gas starting from Basel will stop here.

Huge gas-station/rest area with loads of cars. Cars from Germany/Holland/Belgium to be found here. Don't get lost on this one :)

a BURGER KING restaurant as well as an older ARAL petrol station make it easy to 'autostop' from here north on the german A5 (direction karlsruhe as well as frankfurt and hannover/hamburg). you reach this raststaette (called 'weil am rhein') where plenty of drivers pass through easy and within 30 minutes from the center of basel. take the 'DB regional express' (one stop)from 'badischer bahnhof' (kleinbasel). walk over the tracks, there is a large road bridge, follow the road and the signs to the 'burger king' restaurant. while the trainride takes only two minutes, walking takes you more than a half. the place is very safe + easy to find.
