it is aa small gas station, but because the last car left me there i didn't had any choice. I got a truck in 10 min, in direction to Cottbus, but he goes to Dresden so he left me few km away in a very big car park.

Very good spot for getting out to Berlin, in Dresden direction. I stayed here just 10 minutes in a Sunday morning 6.00 a.m. You can get here using the Shoneweide S station

I stayed here, because the last car let me here (he goes to Linz, and I wanted to get to Bratislava).
After a 4 min, Police came, and I asked them to gave me a lift until the first petrol station, which is at 20 km far away. And they was agree. i don't know if was because of my smile or just the cech police are nice.

Because I wanted to get to Romania, i put it here the written sign RO, because at summer time, in august, a lot of Romanian goes back to their country. so in 5 minute i got a car straight to Sibiu, and my final destination was Brasov, so just 100 km until my last stop.

If u want to go to a very nice swimming place in Berlin u should take the S-train to heerstrasse station and start walking the road called teufelsseechaussee and while u walk just keep your thumb up and probably someone will take u there. (If not, u can still walk there it's not too far away =)

Just in front of the petrol station. From via Gioia goes the most of the cars, going to the highway. We've found a driver in about 30 minutes. It's better than staying near the entrance, because here is more space for cars to stop.

Just after the entry of the petrol station there's much space for cars to stop and since the exit is on the other side they see you when they get in so they have some time to decide if they take you or not. First time we hitched thumbs up to Amsterdam we waited like 10 minutes, second time we hitched with a cardboard "to the south/naar het zuiden" and we waited for 15 minutes to get a car to Breda.

End of July, hundreds of dutch people going home (something like 90% of the traffic); at first we thought "Nice, that's gonna be fast !", but after a few hours and countless "We don't take hitchhikers." or people who don't even have the decency to answer a simple "Hello." we must admit that we lost hope pretty fast...

Found it nearly impossible to hitch anywhere closer to the city, and here you are more likely to find cars that are leaving the island. We waited outside a gas station at the intersection, about 15-20 minutes. 

C'était impossible pour trouver un ride plus proche à la ville-- ici, il y a plusieurs voitures qui vont sortir l'isle de Montréal. Nous avons attendus à une station d'essence, au feu tricolore, pour 15-20 minutes.

Ended up stranded near Rigaud, and spent a night underneath an overpass. Luckily in the morning, a car stopped for us as we were walking along the autoroute (which is illegal, but there was little traffic coming from the off-ramps).

Those are pay tolls described at hitchwiki Zagreb. We've got there by bus going to Lucko (asked about buses at the station in Zagreb). It was Friday afternoon and lot of people from Zagreb were leaving the city and going to the coast. Additionally there were lot of cars passing by Zagreb so huge amount of cars. We've got a ride to Zadar in 2 minutes.

If you visit Pidhirtsi Castle, this is perfect spot to get to Lviv (Kyiv-Chop Highway). Road quality is quite good, and cars have space to park (there is a bus stop, so in case no car stops, you can catch a bus for about 20 UAH = 2 EUR). We were 5 people and we caught a mini-bus heading from Kyiv to Lviv without paying anything.

To go direction Eskişehir, take the bus 121 from Kızılay direction Turkuaz-Toki (bus stop along Atatürk Bulvarı, around 100 m down from Güven Parki before a bridge above the main street). It's a long ride, at some point you'll see the signs direction Istanbul (highway), pass them and after that point you can get off anywhere. I always hitchhike at a Shell petrol station around 6 km down the road.

Huge gas station on the highway. Most cars going west, Parma-Milano, but also many north, Verona-Brennero. To get there take the bus from Modena autostazione and get off in "tre olmi" (on school holiday there are few buses and it might be preferable to walk or take another bus half the way). Go left in the roundabout down "strada tre olmi". There's a hotel next to the gas station, and from its parking lot there is a kind of always open swinging gate through the fence.

A good bet if you manage to get here and are heading north/west. There are quite a few cars and trucks stopping here for gas or just to have a coffee in the bar. The only minor flaw is that the station has two parallel roads (parking lot and petrol) and cars already start to accelerate where these two join, so you have to choose between one or another.

Definitely, definitely do not get dropped off here. There is a huge Autogrill just a few kilometers away towards Brescia which serves well both for Milan and Genoa.

Got here in the middle of the night. This station is pretty small, and to make it worse the shop is being remodelled so the facilities are provisional. Mind you, the petrol station is NOT nonstop. There is a small park next to the parking place where some suspicious looking people were already sleeping by the time I installed my sleeping bag on one of the picnic tables. Had the worst sleep (well, lack of it) ever but got picked up the next morning by a nice old lady who stopped for a coffee.

Hitchhiking spot for north of Oulu to A4/E75. A bus stop with plenty of space for stopping just before entrance to the highway. 

The downsides of this location are the distance from city center and the fact that not that many people may be driving far to north from here.

The best place to leave Montpellier toward the North (Millau, Lodève, Salagou Lake, Saint guilhem du désert, Clermont Ferrand)
Everytimes I waited for less than 10 minutes.
A lot of car going directly to the right motorway.

Stop at "Celleneuve" tramway 3 coming from the city center and walk to the south. There is space for cars to stop after the last traffic ligths.

Good to hitch towards Gebze/Izmit and the Yalova ferry (to go south towards Izmir and the southern coast). Just get off the metro stop, cross the big road on the bridge (make sure you're on the road with signs towards Gebze). There's a place that is good enough to stop just after the interchange. There's a lot of traffic though, so probably only cars going on the right lane will be able to stop.

To go in the direction of Paris. I was waiting for more than 30 minutes. There is no toll on this part of the A20 and it makes difficult to hichhike. The cars are not to fast and have time to read your sign.

To go there, take the bus number 1 (blue lign) in the direction of C.C. Ouest, and go down one station before the last one, called Sarreti. Then walk in the same direction for few meters.

Take the tram 50, 51, 52 from "Mainz Hauptbahnhof" to "Mainz-Hechtsheim, Kurmainz Kaserne". If you get out at "Kurmainz Kaserne" you can already see the motorway. Walk about 5 minutes along the main street. Directly before the drive-up there is a traffic light and a traffic island where you can stand and ask drivers to bring you to the A67 (close to Darmstadt there is a service station). To get on this traffic island you have to cross four lanes.

Huge service station, lot of traffic but expect long waiting if you want to get to Italy. Most of the people who stop by are going to Nice. Also, a lot of rich people who don't like to see tramps in their Audis.

If you get thrown out in Cannes (as I was) and despite the above still want to give this place a go, here is how you can get here - the legal way.

From Exit 42 you will need to find your way to Chemin du Belvedere which goes parallel to the highway. The roads are quite creepy especially by night so I wouldn't recommend it for girls. Once you reach the other end of the road, turn left, then turn left again. BE CAREFUL, there is no pavement and very scarce lighting, I almost got run over in the dark. Walk along the Chemin du Ferrandou until you reach the service station. The area is fenced but at the farther end there is a revolving door so you can enter without climbing the fence.

The good thing is that the shop manager lets people sleep inside after the restaurant is closed, so with a lattice and sleeping bag you can get a decent night's sleep in darkness and safety if you run out of rides.

Relatively big service area which in fact turns it very difficult to harness. Autogrill and petrol station are separated, meaning you cannot attack clients of both. At the highway entrance the cars are already going fast so they are not likely to stop there. The cardboard approach will definitely not work here, in my experience the best way is to camp in front of the autogrill and ask people returning to their cars, interleaved with a quick round at the truck parking lot behind.

Also, be careful with the highway police. They told me that it was forbidden to hitchhike on the highway, in vain I was trying to explain we were eventually OFF the highway... They didn't fine me though, but as a headsup, if you see them coming hide anything that would give you away.

About my experience: exactly here just where the cars leave the roundabout they have a good space to pull over for you. They pass slowly in this roundabout as there are some traffic lights, so you might be lucky ;)

That was an irregular day because there was happening that Iron Man competition, so the nearby streets were full of people. Even the guy who picked us up had came to the city to watch this event. Anyways, there´s traffic lights here and there´s space for the cars to pull over, and you don´t have to walk too much if you´re in city center to get here.

If you want to go to Gijón, that spot is perfect. There is a traffic light a hundred meters in front of the on-ramp. You are allowed to go directly to the on-ramp, but I would recommend you to just wait at the side of the road with a side in your hands. Made the best experience I ever had at this point, however I was just lucky I guess.

Si quieres ir a Gijón este punto es perfecto. Esperé ni un minuto ;)

I met two Belgian girls there wanting to get to Split, also decided to change the spot after four hours.

Great spot! I waited only 20 minutes as I got a lift buy a very nice truck driver. Cars (and trucks) slow down at the round-about and can park in the commercial zone parking. It's really an ideal spot to hitch-hike from. Don't forget to get as close as possible to the round-about so drivers can see you.

Cars are slow (right after streetlight), they can see you and there is space to pull over. I got a lift to Schaffhausen after waiting 10 minutes holding up a sign 'Wint. - SH'

Such a perfect spot. If you want to go to the north of Brittany/St-malo/St-brieg/Brest, every cars have to cross this small village where the motorway ends. For only 1km, there is no more motorway but only a single street ! Parking spot on both sides of the road, cars that drive slow (50km/h), what else? 

NB : if your driver you picked before is going to Rennes, you can ask him to take the N175 (St-Brieuc - Brest direction), he'll join this spot in only 4 minutes and be able to drive back to the 184 in the direction of Rennes. It's a small detour for the driver but such a perfect place for you ! Don't be shy, ask the driver

Richtung Ilmenau/Meiningen sehr gut, Richtung Sömmerda/Erfurt ausreichend, Richtung Ost oder West auf der A4 sehr schlecht.
- gut anzuhalten, Autobahnauffahrt auf die A71

Ich kam von Süden, A71 und musste Richtung Westen, A4 und dachte es wäre der beste Punkt, um ein Auto zu erwischen, was über die A71 auf die A4 fährt weil mein Ride vorher nach Erfurt reingegangen wäre - totaler Fehlschlag; lieber nach Erfurt-West (A4) oder Erfurt-Bindersleben (A71) mitfahren - von da aus ist der Anschluss nach Westen (Gotha, Eisenach und weiter) besser.

Direction Bern/Zurich:
Beginning of the entrance to the motorway. Drivers have plenty of time and a very good view to see you and your sign but unfortunately, there is no place for them to pull over except on the road going straight. However, the cars have to slow down at the point where you will be hitching to take the bend and so may stop on the road itself. There are two lanes so following traffic can always take the other lane. I got lucky and only waited 30 minutes on a slow sunday morning. Most of the traffic coming this way is taking the motorway, so it is worth to hitch from here.

Check out the Pension (tractor trailer parking lot) to chat up drivers.  However, many of them stay here for days or weeks at a time.  So, while you might get lucky, it is much easier to catch rides out on the freeway.  take a bus to the Cuota if you're headed on 57 towards Queretaro.

Stood before the booths on a Wednesday afternoon. Used a sign for Lyon, but most people that responded to me were going the other direction. I stood in the middle island, but there's room to pull over on both sides. Staff didn't seem to care I was there. Got a direct ride with a truck in 40 mins.

Used this spot when I was leaving York to go to Newcastle via A1(M). There was construction going on just before this spot, so cars weren't going so fast. They can pull into the side road, as it (probably) isn't frequently used.

little service station but perfect to go to rennes  !

ma manière (english follow):
si tu arrives du sud, arrête-toi au péage de l'autoroute du sud, et attend d'avoir une voiture qui peut passer à cette station (souvent ça leur fait peu de détour s'il vont dans le centre-nord). Puis attendez-ici en demandant aux gens qui s'y arrête: sois sûr qu'en 10minutes maxi tu trouveras ton bonheur à direction de rennes !

my tip: if you come from south, stop at the south hichway's "péage", and wate for a car who go to this station. Then stop here: be sure you'll find someone for rennes in 10min maximum.
Have a nice trip !

All autovia junction, right lane going to Granada and left lane going to Almeria. Although there is a hard shoulder, traffic is going way too fast for the drivers to see you AND stop safely on the hard shoulder before taking the bend. Also, it is totally illegal to hitch here, so try not to get dropped off here. I got extremely lucky and got a lift before the police came.

Got dropped off here by a nice lady. Unfortunately I was headed for Munich, and previous advice from another hitcher the day before was that people going from Switzerland to Germany avoid using the autobahn since they have to buy a vignette. Instead, they cross the border through the towns and rejoin the autobahn there.

Might be OK if you're headed into Austria, though.

W kierunku Warszawy lub Łodzi to jedyne dobre miejsce. Obwodnica sprawia, że ruch omija miasto i trzeba się do niej dostać, żeby coś złapać. Dodatkowo w tym miejscu krzyżuje się wiele dróg tranzytu i nie tylko. Łatwiej się w tym miejscu łapie w stronę Warszawy/Łodzi niż z Wrocławia, ponieważ we Wrocławiu trudno wskazać jedno miejsce na obwodnicy, które łapie i tych co wyjeżdżają z miasta i tych co miasto omijają. Przez Oleśnicę już praktycznie nikt nie przejeżdża w kierunku Łodzi/Warszawy etc. więc w razie czego omijajcie wjazd do miasta, bo potem jest parę kilometrów dreptania!

W kierunku Wrocławia, albo i dalej doskonałe miejsce. Duży pas na którym mogą się zatrzymać samochody, relatywnie blisko do dwóch Orlenów, oraz dworca PKS'u. Tą trasą musi przejechać praktycznie każdy, kto chce udać się do Wrocławia. Wprawdzie ruch idzie teraz głównie obwodnicą S8, ale na obwodnicy w stronę Wrocławia jest bardzo źle skonstruowany dla autostopowicza pas wjazdowy. Więc nie opłaca się dreptać prawie 3 km, żeby mieć dużo gorsze miejsce. Tu samochody jadą zawsze wolno i przynajmniej co drugi jedzie do Wrocławia. Dużo też tranzytu z Kluczborka jedzie obwodnicą potem w stronę autostrady A4.

Nieopodal znajduje się  przejście dla pierwszych co wymusza na kierowcach zwolnienie, a potencjalnym autostopowiczom daje większe szanse na załapanie podwózki. Jako, że jest to główna trasa  w stronę Terespola ruch jest  gęsty i ciągły.

Дорога на Одесу. Після кільця та залізничного переїзду машини їдуть повільно. Дійти сюди можна пройшовши 1.5км від останньої зупинки 17-го автобуса, яка називається АЗС.

Got dropped off here as my car was heading to Ljubljana and I was headed for Zagreb. Cars seperate a decent distance before turning off, but they're still going fast.

To Zagreb. I was there around 5:30 in the evening on a Monday. There were almost no cars and only a couple of trucks (who were going to Zagreb the next morning). I was there for 30 mins and only saw a few full cars come into the station. I ended up just walking to Sveti Kriz Zacretje and taking the train (was 33.60 kn). 

If you were here during a more prime time (summer, earlier in the day) I think it'd be pretty easy to get a ride to Zagreb. It's only 46 km or so.

There you can find trucks to Bahia, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, Brasilia.... everywhere.

Just after cross the bridge the road becomes more wide so the cars can stop. I think this is better here than just after the round (in the same road). Do on your own :)

It's a service station that seems to be quite big, with a petrol station and restaurants, a big parking lot... I was there on a saturday, I waited from 16:20 to 17:10 : very few cars. No one picked me up, but the one who brought me there.

Highway entrance toll near Arras
I was there on a saturday, at noon, with a "Paris" sign. Few cars, but the 3rd one picked me up. They said it was their first time taking a hitchhiker. It's a safe place. There is a parking spot but it's best to wait directly at the toll where the cars have to stop.

The best spot for going West out of North Bay.  There's a stop light and plenty of room to pull over.  If you go down the road to the hospital, there's another light but it only turns red when a car is turning in or out of the hospital and there's less room to pull over.  I hitched over a dozen times from this spot.  Unfortunately, North Bay is not a good hitching town and I averaged over an hour wait.

You can also try asking drivers at the parking space near that cafe across the road.

The main problem of this spot seems to me to be that the kind of people driving by are doing short distance rides  and don't seem to want to stop for someone they don't know. But there are also nice and interesting persons willing to stop and, luckily, they'll get you directly to Lisbon! So it really depends on your luck. The road has many crosspoints, so be sure you're in the correct one, whether you want to go to Lisbon or the Cascais part.

there's a roundabout and a gas station near both the entrance and exit of the A8. i would reccommend standing with a sign at the roundabout, as the station doesn't enjoy much traffic and you will also be visible to cars coming from the town if you choose the roundabout.

in general, a good place to go to gijón, might be a little harder to get to avilés, which is where you need to be headed if you plan a longer trip, as the next service station is just before avilés.

The toll of Gravataí is a great spot to hitch hike. I did it in october 2013, on my way to Santa Catarina.

HOW TO GET THERE?
You go to the Terminal Rodoviaria do Camelao, in Porto Alegre, and take the bus to de "Pedagio Gravataí", it costed $7 reales when I did it. There you walk a few meters and stand on the road side. I waited for 10 minutes only!

There is a very famous gas station on the road previous to arrive to Biguacu. People think it's a good spot, but they had bad experiences so they don't allow hitch hiker to stay there. It's not longer a good point to hitch hike. If you happen to be there, the best option is going to Biguacu and walked down the road a few blocks, until you cross a bridge over a river. It's not the best option, but I hitch hiked there to Sao Paulo in 10 minutes.

If you get a lift to the train station in Amiens, you can follow the sign for Paris. After a littlle while you come to the street "Route de Paris". You follow this street, at a crossroad it changes to "Route d'Amiens" and you follow this one until you get to the first roundabout. You pass by this one and go left to the road which leads to another roundabout. There you can stand at the side, there is enough space for cars to stop and they have to slow down before the roundabout. If you are going to Paris it is perfect. I did this with a friend in this November and we got a lift after 20 minutes. I would say, this spot is good to very good! Good luck!

Two guys, obvious foreigners, with our backpacks:
This is basically the place which is in the description of Arequipa. Once you found the right bus to go to Uchumayo you have to hop off at the final stop. From the main square just go straight down to where the highway is, maybe not quite obvious from the first sight but you won't miss it. We put ourselves about a 100 metres after the toll collect, at the very end of all the little shops. It took as more than one hour until a veeeeery slow truck stopped for us. It works but you need patience.

There is a sort of pedestrian island in the middle of the road right with a bigger taxi parking next to it. There is also a traffic light and all the cars going North pass by there. It's easy for cars to stop because there is this taxi thing and the visibility is good.

If you get stuck in Santa Olalla, and you're going in direction of Talavera, it's better to go on this street, walk in the direction of the higway entrance, and hitchhike, you can easily get to the next gaz station, which is 3 km after the entrance.

This place is really bad, be sure that you won't get dropped off here. Cars can't stop and you have to wait in the middle of the road/ramp otherwise cars arriving from south won't see you. I wanted to go north to Bergen and my driver was going east but I couldn't find someone else to pick me up. So I had to walk along the road up to the next bus stop...

Good place to hitchhiking from Belo Horizonte to Parque Nacional Serra do Cipó. It's a speed reducer.

For getting here: Take a bus in a Rodoviaria of BH to Lagoa Santa. (Costs R$4,20 - Jan of 2014). In Lagoa Santa going out of Terminal and take a bus to Lapinha and going out in the last point of BR. Walk 50 m until the speed reducer.

Setting: We were two guys going to Cartagena. One guy looked Latin like, another one obvious foreigner.

Now: This is the place where the 2nd peaje (toll collect station) is where all the cars and trucks are passing. Don't try to walk there as it is mentioned in the description of Medellin, it would take you hours! Take a bus from the final metro stop Niquia to there and tell them to drop you off at this place. There is also a Esso gas station just after that. We found it general pretty hard to get a ride and we only found someone by talking to him while filling up. Hitchhiking in Colombia is not really fun I think. We didn't make very far and had to take a bus later. This is always a good option when you get stuck somewhere as they stop wherever you stand. So you need definitely time and patience.

This is actually the same as the spot a few kilometres down west at the toll collect station. Someone brought us here in order to only have the vehicles passing by which are definitely going north at the Panamericana Road. It took us (two guys) almost two hours until we almost gave up before someone took us for a two hour ride. Hitchhiking here is feasable but it takes its time.

Setting: two guys, one Latin looking, the other one obvious foreigner

On our way to Cartagena we had a really lucky shot here. After standing here for about an hour, seeing ourselves already stepping back to the centre of the village where buses are leaving towards north there was suddenly one of this big container trucks stopping for us. The driver assinged us to sit behind the container in the very back. One of the most amazing rides I ever had! The driver told us that in case that the police would stop us he had claimed that we would have jumped illegally on the back and he wouldn't know about us. So we feared every time when the police was standing at the verge of the road but seriously, they've seen us more than three times, a police car overtook us, military motorbikes passed by and no one was interesed in the fact that we sat there enjoying the panorama and the feeling of freedom. Thanks to the unknown driver for this great adventure!

East To Okongo
From Eenhana you can pick up a ride at the hike point across from the open market, near the Regional Education. Office Eenhana to Okongo is N$50. Eenhana to Oshikunde N$25. 

South to Ondangwa: 
This hike point is on the south end of town past the grocerery stores and the Shell station. There is a single tree in an open area. Many people will be standing around and there will be some vehicles parked on the side of the road. NOTE: This hike point travels the gravel road--though it is cheaper is is bumpier and more prone to stopping. 

West to Onuno (Transfer to Ondangwa, Oshikongo):

This route doesn't have a designated hike point. Rather, linger around the Shell station on the north side of town. Look for a sedan--they are much more likely to take the paved route. This is a longer and more expensive ride to Ondangwa and you will switch cars at Onuno but it can ultimately be faster than stopping along the gravel. Your driver will find you a car at Onuno.

This entire on/off ramp is great thanks to truck stops, gas stations and fast food.  You can either ask people as they pump gas or use the on ramps.  A sign helps, especially if you're headed north on interstate 15 or east on interstate 40.

HAVE A SIGN if you're hitching long distance here.  If you're here in the summer (I pity you if you're hitching here in the winter), there are FREE SHUTTLE buses from the Denali National Park area to here (look up the "McKinley Village Lodge), so you can get out of tourist hell and back on the road southbound.  This is great because it's out of the park, and just before a steep hill climb, which makes drivers drive slower than normal.

This isn't a "hitching spot," but it is a great spot to get a free bus ride outta the park.  If you're trying to hitchhike SOUTH, ask someone that looks official how to get to the "McKinley Village Lodge."  If you're hitching NORTH, ask them how to get to "GLITTER GULTCH," or the "PRINCESS LODGE."  This will seriously cut down on waiting time, plus you can laugh at the crazy tourists.  If you found this spot useful, could you email?  I'm curious :)

Tons of cars coming and going; it's best to hitch before noon.  Having a sign is a good idea but not necessary.  DON'T GET DISCOURAGED!  Lots of people are just going 10 miles and they don't realize that even 10 miles helps.  I've used a sign that's said, "14 Miles," and it's worked wonders!

From Usti to Dresden. It's on a slip-road, not much place to stop, only if the traffic isinfrequent ( which I'm believe it usually is - so no problem). I suggest to hitchhike first somewhere on Havířská street from Usti, and if somebody who doeasn't ride to the highway takes you, let him drop you off before the bridge over the highway - and this is your spot.

Easy to get ride to Prague. But you will most probably get here when your driver isn't going to Prague, so let him stop at the highway and find your way through the crossroads. Or ask him to take you there, next exit to turn back is 2 km behind.

If you want to go through Prague it might be good to stand at the beginning of the station and wawe for the traffic from Prague's ring. Trucks are forced to use the ring, so lot of trucks towards Hradec Králové/Poland go around.

very good place with alot of trucks and people, the best destinations will be the industrial park in barcelona as well all the east cost of spain, you can even get in to marroco or argelia from here. not so good to madrid, lleida or zaragoza. you will need to ask to go to a one other pumb station called "portas de barcelona". better to ask a very experience truck driver.

Getaway to Bulgaria and Turkey. A lot of Turkish tranzit traffic passing through. If you cross the border on foot, walk to the end of the parking lot where you see the passage of the trucks reconnect to the road. Altough the very beginning of the road is a more tempting place for hitching, it is regularly checked by Serbian police. I got an enquiry and a kind request to move back to the end of the parking. From the edge you will be able to show your sign to both sides. (to the truck drivers and cars alike) From here I got a drive to Bulgaria, though the truck's final destination was Istanbul.

Have in mind that not too many local cars that pass here continue all the way to Macedonia or Greece, and also not too many local cars even use motorway if you only want to get south to Leskovac. 
Maybe it is worth risking to continue walking and getting on the motorway, as there you get about all vehicles that go to the south, and definitely all foreign plates trucks and cars. However, be aware that actually standing on a motorway is not allowed in Serbia for "pedestrians".

An alternative hh place to hitch rides to the east (in direction to Bulgaria). Alternative as if you are somewhere in near, it might take you a long long time to get to the center of the city and catch local buses to Prosek village hh spot. Here, this is actually a parking lot and a petrol station. Access to this petrol station is through broken fence behind it, there are even some locals using this as shortcut to their properties from the other side of a motorway. Hitchhiking here is okay as this is a parking/petrol station so technically not an open motorway. Visibility is average/good for speeding vehicles, but excellent for those that stopped at the station.

Not a good place because there is not much space to stop the car, and is also curved. 
Even so, it took me 30 minutes to get on a car towards Dresden.
To get to this point used the Metro C line, getting off at Střížkov.

Perfect location to the south and east. Loads of Romanians but Serbian and Hungarian cars as well. This was on a monday morning. Found my ride to Arad in 5 minutes but if you ask around you can totally go further as well. Last big petrol station before the road splits so you will find drivers to Romania via both Oradea and Arad. Remember 'fără bani (without money)'

Takes quite some time to get there; train to Inárcs-Kakucs and then walk to the gas station. The walk is about 40 minutes.

Well.. I was in doubt between setting this spot as "Average" and "Bad". I hitchhiked in here a few times both with friends and alone, and all of them always took what would be long waiting time for Denmark (about 1 to 2 hours waiting). I did it with signs and also without (once was raining), and didn't see any difference. But still, I didn't find any other possible spot to hitchhike from Odense heading west if not in here or next to the crossing of Rismarksvej and Middelfartvej.
I don't wanna say this spot is "Bad" because there's place for the cars to pull over legally.

Me and a friend got dropped off on the freeway and the cops caught us hitchhiking there (what is illegal) and drove us to here as it is a safer and legal place for hitchhiking. There's a gas station here, and we started to talk to the drivers. Many didn't even open the window to talk to us, many just ignored us as if we were invisible and no one was going (at least it is what the few who answered said) north to Helsinborg. I think this area is a residencial neighborhood, apparently not lots of people are going to travel from here. But at least the chances of been picked up in here might be higher than on the road where cars aren't allowed to pull over and you can barelly find places where they could do so. Cars go REALLY fast on the freeway. We gave up on hitchhiking after around 30min here because it was already 4pm and we were actually going to Oslo. We got a ride to the closest bus stop, caught a bus to Malmo central station and headed to Oslo by bus. I'll try it again in another opportunity but hitchhiking in Sweeden seemed to be very tricky. Avoid Malmo always you can!

Iligal to hitchhike here, but we didn't have option as we got dropped off in here. My friend and I were coming from CPH and heading north to Helsinborg to go to Oslo afterwards. Cars go really fast here also, you'll probably not be picked up by swedish people as they now that it is illigal. We were picked up by an english couple but they were heading south so they could just drop us off in the next roundabout to the E6 (like 500m farther). Later I thought we should had went with them somewhere south and tried from there to hitchhike north, because Malmo really seems to be a super tricky place for hitchhiking with highways to everywhere (cars going always fast) and almost no place for them to pull over even if they decide to be illigal to help you out.

Don't come to here if you have option. There's no lane for the cars to pull over even though they can make it going a bit off the road, and also the cars go really fast also here. But, admiting you get dropped off nearby here like my friend and I did, you better STAY here. Don't go down to the road because there they go even more faster. I'm not sure if in Sweeden it is legal to hitchhike on this kind of spots (on ramps) like in Denmark is. We walked down to the road and decided to walk to the next roundabout and after a longe walk a taxi driver thought we were singing for here and stopped. I told him we were hitchhikers and asked if he couldn't give us a ride to a next roundabout on his way and he kindly did so. But anyways no one stopped and the police showed up, catching us walking on the highway and after telling us that it is illigal (but luckily not giving us a fine) they drove us to a gas station a bit farther to north.

zebra crossing for the highschool of trollhattan. many pedestrians there, so the cars have to stop all the time or they are at least very slow. bus stop after the zebra crossing is a perfect place to get in the stopping car. expect to get strange looks from the locals.. but it was very funny.

PROBLEM: There are a lot of illegal immegrants who want to get to the UK and the ferry don't like hitchhikers.
I was there in the early Morning (slept under the bridge of the roundabout) and when I got up there were lots of Trucks which wanted to enter the ferry but had to wait in a Line (traffic jam).
SOLUTION: I showed every single driver my passport and explained everyone that I'm not illigal and that everything is ok.
The 5. truck gave me a lift to London :)

If you use a sign make sure to choose a couple places close to eachother and not just your end destination as far-bound traffic is rare (my sign said Erzurum and it took me 2 hours to find a ride, so write Zara and from there use Erzincan and then Erzurum).

Not the greatest place for hitchhiking, but doable... 
You won't be getting a long-distance ride, a short ride to a better HH-spot is more likely - the traffic is all 'local' here!

It's the freeway onramp, but there's enough space for standing without passing the 'freeway entrance' sign and therefore breaking the law.
The cars are coming around the bend with low speed so drivers have time to spot you despite the bend.
The road is wide enough for cars to pull over without obstructing the traffic. (But the emergency lane starts some 100metres further down the road...)

Weekday + 4pm + sign 'ANYWHERE BUT HERE' (+ being a girl) was the combination that got me a ride to the ringroad in 10 minutes.


PS. There's a much busier(traffic from the CBD) onramp across the street.
Might get a ride quicker, but it might not be so safe... Check the description about it!

Statoil petrol station at the crossroads. You can try to find a ride there or (better) go 10 metres south to the Byłych Więźniów Twierdzy Zakroczymskiej street and hitch a ride towards Warsaw or any direction of 62 road. Do not stand directly at S7, it is forbidden, stand at the station or at the entrance ramp.

It is absolutely senseless to cross this border to/from Russia. Even if it makes your way longer, you are better off crossing the border at Kyakhta/Altanbulag. There are so few foreigners crossing this border, you will be the centre of attention and interrogation by the soldiers. It is quite easy to hitch once you cross to the Russian side as many drivers ride to the nearby town of Borzya, where you can move on to Chita.

A Truck driver let us out there in the night, there ws no option to HH to Romania cause there is not that much traffic on daytime so in the night there was nothing and we (girl and boy) where like done with the day. it was cold (in end of april) The driver actually gave us money for the motel (20 dollars) and so we paid like 20 dollars and 10 euro for one night for a room (our last money at all). next day we just woke up got a shower and went on the street waited like 30 minutes for a ride direct to Bukarest.

Direction Transilvania, Sibiu, Arad, Serbia 
follow the describtion on hitchwiki, 
Get the metro to Pacii (note the metro is a bit crazy - if you're not careful the trains change lines without warning and you can end up at Gare Du Nord again!). From Pacii you have to find the main road going west, and go to the first bus stop. Get the first bus that says Carrefour and go all the way to Carrefour shopping centre, this is the start of the motorway.

just walk back a little bit to this bridge, its not that simple to climb up the wall but its makebale also with a heavy backpack. 
Then you stand direct on the highway there is enough space for cars and trucks to stopp over! got a lift after 3 minutes to alba Lulia so quite good space!!!

When you get a ride to Kriva Palanka and want to go further to Bulgaria, it's maybe smarter to get into the town, as it's not too big so you can walk to the exit of it.

Another way is to take a moto-taxi to the regional bus station and from there take a bus to Maracaibo. It all cost aorund 200 bolivares instead of 500 bs, that costs the bus form the border.

Get off at Yangjae Ciziten's Forest Station and walk to the intersection. You can actually get on the highway (be careful) and if you walk for about 200 meters, there is a service station. Wait at the end of the service station where cars slowly drive to the highway. I don't think you will wait more than 10 minutes. It's a good spot for heading south to Daejeon, Daegu or Busan. You can use a sign if you are willing to wait a bit longer to get a direct ride.

There are many people driving from Sokcho to Seoul. You just need to find a nice spot that is close to "Misiryeong Tunnel". You don't even need a sign as you can reject shorter rides and wait for a direct ride to Seoul.

There is a good number of people climbing the mountain (especially on weekends) and it's fairly easy to hitch back from the parking area near the temple back to Aso town. People will know you are a traveller without a car who just came here to climb the mountain, so they won't have any worries. A tip for climbing: follow the path going left and climb the rocky route to the top first (it is well marked with yellow arrows), make a circle clockwise and make your way down by following the paved route near the old cable car station.

Take a bus 100 (dir. Terminal Bingen) from the rodoviaria in the city center and go until the end of the line (2,80 reais). The highway is just in front of the terminal. It's not a very safe place, the road has many turnings and there's no point walking up the road because there are no safer spots anywhere nearby. Our driver pulled over just because nobody would probably stop in such a dangerous place.

Pointless hitchhiking there, it's still not any close to getting out of the city. Got there following the advice of a man who told us there's a big rmarket from where trucks go to all directions after unloading. There are many truck drivers but the place is too big and would probably take a lot of time to find a ride. We were lucky because a guy we asked for directions offered to take us to a spot down the road. Otherwise, don't waste your time there.

Not a very good spot, first you pass some markets and houses, then you reach a little bridge and there's some space right in front of it. No point going any further, there's no lane for the cars to stop and it's full of curves. Got a ride almost to Sao Paulo though.

Süderschmedebyfeld (Altes Motel)

Von Süderschmedeby sind es ca. 1,5km. Von hier kommt man gut nach Flensburg. Falls jemand nicht ganz nach Flensburg fährt, dann lohnt es sich bis nach Sankelmark oder Oeversee zu fahren. Von Jarplund ist es aber schwer nach Flensburg zu trampen. Das Bushaltehäusschen wurde leider abgerissen. Man wird von weitem gesehen und die Autos können gut halten. Von "Balbek" kommen auch manchmal Autos, die man gut anquatschen kann.

While hitching north there is high probability that you will hitchhike after Ucharal's police checkpoint as almost 90% of cars turn to Ucharal. I guess wait here is more comfortable than closer to that checkpoint. First, here is a river and you can fresh yourself anytime. Second, you can stay at night near the river. it's better that sleep on sand. Third, road on the bridge is in vary bad condition so cars cross bridge at 30-40km/h. Forth, police in Kazakhstan may ask you some stupid questions and finally bring you some thoubles.

P.S. Hitchhike at lest to Urzhar turn otherwise you will spend some time in the desert with no water around.

Já peguei muitas caronas neste ponto e também varias pessoas pegam, já é um ponto conhecido por caroneiros.

Tem um quebra mola e um ponto de ônibus no local, que facilita muito, pois tem uma área muito boa para os carros parar no acostamento.

Você pode pegar um ônibus no centro da cidade e chegar neste ponto. Se você perguntar onde é o ponto de caroneiro no bairro Grama certamente alguém vai consegui lhe explicar.

Mais a frente deste local tem outro ponto que bastante caroneiros costumam pedir, que é na frente do posto da policia rodoviária, onde é o ponto final da linha de ônibus.

Mas eu recomendo este ponto aqui, pois acho que o pessoal costuma parar com maior frequência.

Border-crossing with very low traffic. The border police might be bored and entertain you with questions, and eventually they will let you pass through without trouble. They might appreciate a little bribe, and they will let you know. If you give them the equivalent of one Euro, they will be happy with it.

You can cross on foot.

Towards Miskolc, Budapest on M3 highway. This is the on-ramp.
Cars come quite fast but they have space and see you from a distance.

If you are coming from the north and your driver is not going in your direction, it is a good option to get off here.

(alternatively you can get off at the roundabout few kilometers earlier)

Bus Stop "Sękocin Las". On this side you can check best conection from any place in Warsaw to here. (http://warszawa.jakdojade.pl)
Place is big enough even for a track driver and has traffic light. 
Good Advise: If you are going from Warsaw to Kraków, don't let the driver to left you in Kielce. There is no gas station nearby, what mean the driver will has to take to the city, where you will lose a lot of time. The best way on this route is to do it in one, maximum in to stops. First on "Sękocin Las" wait for a car to Radom, where there are two great Roundabout to hitchhike. First near the enter to Radom and other near the exit to Kraków. Most cars are just passing thought Radom so it's not a problem to caught a car near the enter. If car from Warsaw won't take you to Kraków you can easily cauth someone on one of the Roundabout. 
Good Luck :D

I'm proud of my discovery. Found it with Google StreetView as a stretch of the road with some decent place to pull over. Then went there and it was actually good. Loads of traffic, waited less than 30 minutes.

You get there with the bus 6 from Downtown (as of June 2014), need to walk a small distance from the bus stop to the road through the Bowring Park.

On this highway you can hitchhike basically everywhere. There's no traffic anyway, so cars can just stop on the road. Prepare for well over 500 km of gravel (as for 2014) to Happy Valley-Goose Bay.

The road is terribly empty (a car maybe every 15-30 minutes?) with an exception of the boat traffic passing around two times a day. A lot of people seems to be afraid of picking up people in the middle of nowhere, so I had to wait my time. Took me 5 rides until I got my long-awaited ride to Goose Bay. On average it should take a day to make it to there. I had a couple times of being stuck for over an hour in various places.

From São Paulo Tieté Terminal take a bus to Jacareí and tell the driver to stop at posto with restaurnat Frango Assado located near the exit to Jacareí. From there you can walk to the toll plaza. If you hitch to close to the booths you can be sent further by the security, so move yourself on the beginning.

Entry ramp to E45 and E20 for Arhus and Odense respectively. Good spot for catching traffic heading either north or into Fyn.

Excellent spot for heading to Kolding or the direction of Aarhus. Stand a little in front of the traffic lights, this way cars slowing down can't ignore you. Had a lift within 15 minutes :)

I hitched from here simply because it was close to my host.  There is not a lot of space to pull over safely so this spot would not be good during heavy traffic.

Very large rest stop with trucks.  A lady will kick you out if you ask "her drivers" for a lift, but if that happens, its still good to stand by the exit with a sign.

A great place to get truck rides across the country.  Lots of truck traffic and the staff won't kick you out.  But be prepared to wait a few hours, as is usual in the USA.

good place heading to East. The gas station 500m in the East had so little non-local traffic heading to the toll-stations. Walking back here made it easier.

somewhere just after the bridge (50meters) there is a bus stop where cars and also trucks can stop. and it is protected by trees from the sun! Perfect point to go to Vrsac or the Romanian border.

At the petrol station's exit, to go to the romanian border. Not a lot of traffic but some trucks passes by there too.

Jó innen stoppolni ha Malmö felé akarsz utazni. Elég hely van itt hogy stoppolj, és kocsik könyen parkólnak.

Direction Feldkirch (Austria).
We started hitch-hiking here late Thursday afternoon and in about 2 minutes were picked up by friendly police officers who took us to the Austrian border.

Direction Innsbruck: we waited here quite some time - at least 30 min. Probably a carton saying 'Innsbruck' was not a good idea as most of the cars where going shorter distances. Got a lift to Landeck.

Plenty of room for cars to stop, everyone can see you as they have to stop/slow down at the border. Got a lift to Feldkirck.

A good place to go direction Innsbruck. At least half of the traffic goes another direction so there are more possibilities I think. Just across the bridge there is Mc'Donalds and cheap supermarket (Hofer)

Direction Innsbruck. It was late afternoon/evening and the traffic seemed to be light but we were lucky to be picked-up in 5 minutes or so.

Just after the petrol station, in front of some shops there is enough space to stop trucks and cars without disturbing the traffic. And you can also be taken by someone from the petrol station.

Nice bus stop just after traffic lights. Good spot if you want to travel south along 77 road in small car. There is a a small shop next to the spot as well as hospital on the other side.

About 200 metres before the ramp to the highway towards Amsterdam (A12, exit 17 Westraven) there are traffic lights. Cars stop here anyway :) I found this a much better (and safer) spot than near the ramp itself where cars already accelerate.

I was here during a world championship footbal match so there wasn't too much traffic. Still I got picked up within 20 minutes or so by a very friendly lady.

This location is next to tram stop Kanaleneiland Zuid (line 60 to Nieuwegein Zuid or 61 to IJsselstein Zuid)

Needing to get to Bogense, thought this spot may work. Ended up waiting an hour and a half friday evening, and taking the bus instead. Caveat: I'm a single dark-skinned foreigner, and the the traffic at that time of day was infrequent. 'Could' be possible to hitch at a better time of day. But better to stick to motorways if you want to head West to Fyn or Jylland.

Senseless, if you are on the way from Prague to Berlin. A tiny reststation with not so many cars passing by, mostly local traffic. Have to hitch into Dresden and use public transport through the city anyway in case to reach better spot.
