Its kind of a small gasstation, not that many cars come by. Personnel have no problem with hitchhikers. Most people here go to Gyor, Bratislava or Vienna. I waited here 5 hours because I wanted to get to the M85 going south of Austria. I highly not recommend to take that as a direction since the majority simply doesnt go this way. Going via Vienna and then south is better. Cheers

just in the peagge, in the entrance of the highway is the best to go to france. we were two and a big dog and we just wait 5 minuts! if u wait next to the city center u are stock for hours, but just the entrance of the peagge is a perfect spot, a lot of trucks but needs a half hour walk to get there.

This is the type of petrol station where there is no point to rush to get any sort of ride but just be patient for the right long-range one. From here it's possible to get direct rides to northern Germany, Italy, and maybe also to France or Croatia. I wanted to go to Italy and I found a direct ride in 2h30. Awesome spot! This is definitely one of those spots worth to keep in mind for further reference each time You want to get out of Wien heading south.

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

you can just go through the open red door with written. "Autostoppeurs, bonne chance!!" instead of climbing the wall ;)

IMHO this spot is better than the peage itself since all the traffic can see you from the peage, cars don't have time to speed up before seeing you and there is a lot of space to stop.

It might seem like a good idea to hitchhike closer to the lights, but it isn't, unless your direction is Velika Gorica/Karlovac. If your direction is Osijek/Bosnia/Serbia I'd suggest thumbing before the entrance to the gas station, and really make yourself visible, because your drivers are most likely on the lanes closer to the middle. Tough place.

If you use Google map. And search. "Autobusna stanica Jadranska avenija". This spot is around here a bus stop. Ppl can easy stop there. I m here today. It was lucky cuz this moment the road have construction. So if you walk to this place. All the car to this direction will pass you slow.  Very good for hitch hike. But when contraction done. You might need to find another spot.  Just be careful the round about is disappeared cuz the construction. So when you take bus to around this place. Get off before round about and srart walk.  Need to walk around 40mins depends on how fast you are. And if you can't find the spot I say. Zoom in this orange or yellow spot in Google map. And check carefully you will see.

Didn't wait at all, the first Icelandic car I waved down stopped :D

Hitching in Iceland in October was unbelievably easy - the first day I got 7 rides east on the Ring Road and didn't wait once over 5 minutes. Icelanders pick up so much and so fast. They told me in the summer it gets really crowded with hitch-hikers and they often don't have space, so I was apparently lucking out on hitching in the fall :) Was a bit chilly and dark to camp out though.

Hitching up to Höfn couldn't be easier, than I had to wait my time, beacuse a car passed maybe every 20 minutes. From Höfn to Egilsstaðir, and up to Akureyri is the hardest part (waited 2 hours once as so little passed by), then from Akureyri it gets really easy again.

There is a new ringroad since late 2012 so it may be much harder to hitch a ride in the city center now. I don't know where to hitchhike on the ringroad as I did not try it so far.

I waited 2,5 hours to get in direction of Valencia (it didn't work, so I took the train), everybody just went to Barcelona or next by. I highly recommend not to start / stopover here in that direction! If you are here, you may try to get to the next station called "Castellbisbal" (see description).

Spent there 30 minutes Friday midday March 2017, I arrived with another hitchhiker, he got a lift after 3 minutes to the border (there is a huge tax free shopping area). I saw a couple of german cars pass and I asked the first one and got a lift to Perpignan (he would have taken me further though). Seems like a good spot to find long rides.

We arrived at 6pm and within the next hour 3 people first agreed to give us a lift and then changed their minds! We didnt looked fucked up at all. Instead they gave us beer and some coins for food!? So we waited here for hours and another 5 people driving southern were acting extremely careful. In the end after 5! hours a nice guy from Luxemburg got us lift and it was great!

The Albanians described in the comment above were probably not waiting for the bus but also hitchhiking (albeit for a fee), so they didn't give you bad PR, they just got there earlier than you.

Insa and Jan (and seemingly many cars) found this gas station confusing because the exit signage is a bit strange. Nevertheless, as Adrian described, it seems to be best to hitch with a sign from this curve.
One problem though is that we wanted to go south towards Freiburg and Switzerland, but most cars which stopped went either into Karlsruhe or north. In the end we took a car going north and switched at the Bruchsal service station, which is the first both-sided one north of Karlsruhe with a car bridge nearby making it possible to switch sides.

You can get here by bus 243 from Smíchovské nádraží station, but beware, only ca every third bus on weekdays goes to Peluněk, which is right under the highway, the others end at Sídliště Zbraslav (in a walking distance)

The hitchhikability in this spot is poor because the cars are going very fast and it doesn't allow the drivers to have enough time to see the hitchhiker. This is on the main road, is a lot better the ramp nearby - a lot few cars will enter the ring from there but their speed is really low because they have to make a 180° turn and they will stop. That's where I got the ride from, almost immediately once I was on the ramp, after staying in this spot for about 20 minutes.

it is not a good spot for hitchhiking cause cars and trucks really high speed but there is enough space to stop.

it works with thumb up.

Asking at the gas station and walking through the rows of cars waiting the traffic light is a good call. Usually I don't have to wait for more than half an hour to get to the South (mostly Graz for me).

We were asking at the gas station but with no results so we moved to bus stop before the entrance to the station (with Graz sign) and tried to catch someone going south. There is plenty of space to stop a car and finally we got a ride to Wiener Neustadt gas station which is great place to find a ride to Graz.

If you are going towards Rijeka, consider walking to the junction and to the toll station/gas station there. About 3km in total from this spot, but if you get off at the junction instead of the gas station in the first place it's just about 1,5km...

There's many rest stops on this road, and I'm not sure which one I was dropped off at because my ride did not speak any english, but I got extremely lucky and was dropped off literally in front of another ride (Romanian) that at first drove me to Budapest and then accepted to take me all the way to Arad, Romania. This is extreme luck on my behalf though, so be careful with these rest stops, they can be hit or miss. Stop at a petrol station up ahead (ask for "benzinkút") or at the Austrian/ Hungarian border if you don't want to take a chance.

Place isn't perfect but there are no better spots (I think). Tram 2 will take you to this spot (get off at Tyrsova). Stand at the beginning or in the middle of the petrol station (next to the railing) and show your sign to all the cars that are on the road. Wien/Vienna works best because most Czech cars are locals. Took me about 1,5 hour but then I got a ride straight to Vienna.

we waited there for ten minutes and than got a ride to vienna. you can stand at the end of the gas station where is long empty line for cars leaving gas station and ending with a bus stop. so there is enough place also for the cars passing gas station to stop for you. another option to get there (exept the tram "2") is to take a train from brno to "modřice" which is faster than tram, but than you have to walk cca ten minutes to the gas station

Only hitched from there once. There is this little parking spot in front the bank where cars can go in to pick you up. So it's actually quite easy for them to stop. Most of the cars go to the highway to Winterthur. The first big gas station is just a few kilometers away and almost everyone goes at least there. A sign definitely helps. Ist a great spot. You can walk there from the city centre and it takes out really fast.

Hitchhiked : on my own (girl)
Waiting time: 15min (had a sign saying : NACH WINT-SH)

There is a traffic light before entering the tunnel that goes straight to the highway. Still pretty close to the centre, walkable distance. There is a bank on the right with a little parking spot where cars can pull over. Car in queue at the traffic light can easily see you with a sign. Waited about 15min and got a ride to the next gas station on the highway, where I got a ride to the border with Austria (was going to Innsbruck).

Nearest tram station HALDENEGG (tram 6). Walk only 5 minutes to the spot.

1 guy, 2 girls, October 2015.

The place is confusing a little because it has three options: on the highway (tried that for a little while but decided it's useless after a little while, cars are just going too fast), at the traffic lights (difficult to stop, but cars go really slow; stood there for 2 hours) and a bit closer to Wawa, just before under the bridge (some place to pull over, but only get cars from one direction – finally went there and got almost the first car!).

So, no piece of cake, but quite ok.

Buen sitio. todo tipo de vehículos tanto en las estaciones de la autopista como en las de la nacional (es posible ir de una a otra a pie por una corta carretera/camino asfaltada, preguntar al personal de servicio por ella). Si viajas lejos éste es un buen punto para detenerse y buscar un vehículo que te lleve un buen trozo. Hay que tener en cuenta que los camiones hacen un máximo de 10 horas diarias, a 70-80 km hora). Hay que tener en cuenta las restricciones para camiones, que varían según el país, periodo de la semana y año y vía.

good site. all types of vehicles at stations of the highway and in the national (may go from one to another on foot by a short road / path paved , ask the service personnel for it) .

I was there on a Sunday afternoon and I wanted to go in the direction of Dijon/ Paris.
There was a lot of traffic but after about one hour I found somebody. 
This place is perfect for going to Lyon or the sorroundings!

This spot looks very good, but I was unlucky and I had to wait for a long time. There's a place near by to build a tent so if you're stuck you can spend a night there.
Note: they didn't had cartboard. I'd sudgest to bring your own.
Note: behind the roundabout there's another place. Pleanty of place to stop + less local cars. I didn't go there, but when I went through it looked like a nice spot.

***6 HOURS WAITING***
(Boy and girl)

We spent the night in the gas station because we arrived really late and we didn't want to hitchhike at night so we decided to continue the next day.

Early in the morning 7:30AM we started to hitchhike in the exit of the gas station with a panel Slovenia, no one stopped for 4hours waiting so we decided to move to the exit of the restaurant first we started to with the same panel and after 5hours waiting someone stopped but he was going to Krakow! so we kept hitchhiking till we found a car to Trieste directly.

My experience in Croatia with hitchhike is really bad I don't consider as an easy country to hitchhike, Good luck.

I was standing there for about an hour before the gas station and asked the people in the gas station for 30-45minutes, either I was very unlucky or the spot is pretty bad if you're trying to get to the south - Thessaloniki, Athens, etc. I would suggest going half a kilometer further, where the road splits and all the traffic mostly goes south to Veles and HHing on the road there. I've marked the spot.

Arrived here little before 8pm, it was almost no traffic. We managed to ask to 30 cars and not even one pretended to go direction Amsterdam. After 10pm the shop is closing and traffic is minimal. We still tried until 11pm, before going camping here. In the morning a lot of traffic and we got a direct ride to AMsterdam in 10 minutes, second car we asked. Really contrasting experiences

Getting a ride from here towards Brescia/Bergamo worked out well. Don't let yourself get scared off by the big sign which says "No Autostopp". I was standing next to it, four police cars passed me and no one cared about it :) Sign is necessary since people can take both directions! I was waiting for about 30 mins I guess until someone took me to a gas station on the highway.

A few cars going to Vienna, more towards Graz (I saw many Hungarian and Slovenian cars), but surely lots of people going to westwards. I guess, there is no better place to stop if your driver is going to Linz or Vienna and you need to go towards Graz.

It took us quite a long time for a ride to Chur. Better option is to go to Zurich from here. But the place is amazing for hitch-hiking as it's crowded with people going north!
Many cars we asked were actually full so have that in mind

I stopped here thinking it would be a good place to get a ride north on the A13 on my way to Munich, but after 40mins of people saying they were going on the A2 towards Basel, I gave in and took a ride to 'Gunzgen Nord' to continue east towards Munich on the A1.  This turned out to be a good stradegy (even though a fair detour) as i go a direct lift from there to Munich :)

This petrol station is located on the " wrong " side of the city : it's on the east side, on the motorway towards the west, so it is before the city and not after it : so you don't get the traffic that departs from the city, only the vehicles coming from Le Mans, Paris and further east.
So it's not ideal, but it's the only spot that's on the motorway and that's reachable from the city with urban public transport (bus).

Directly at the roundabout is a great spot to get on the A2 southwest or east. There’s a gas station, a McDonald’s and another restaurant so plenty of traffic.

Kirkines - You may be stuck here for a while after you get off the Hurtingen. If you are planning to go to Finland in winter, the only bus to you can catch comes at 17:35 outside the shopping centre where there are other buses and takes you to Tana Bru, where you have an overnight stay at the bus station to catch the 03:30 bus.

I loved every second of my dull experience standing outside for 5 hours in the snow with frozen feet and drinking icy cold beer trying to get a ride to either Tana Bru or Inari.

Such a terrible place for lifting... Whe were two from Britanny, first trying to go in the direction of Salzburg, and after a night sleeping on the parking, just trying to move, even in the direction of Italy...Negociations were very hard. It was in august 2015, when many turists and families were traveling from north to south. Look at the nationality of the cars (the majority of austrian and deutsh people were literaly despiting us)... If you're standing there for a long time, you can ask the employees for help (phone call, maybe food... and just for speaking with sympathic people !! :) )... Good luck, and never forget to keep smilling comrads :D

Very good tankstelle with Autogrill through which is possible to get from one side of the autostrada to the other. This tankstelle is populated by both trucks and city cars which make it a good spot to get rides both short and long range. I found a ride from here to Venice in less than 5 minutes from a truck driver heading to Monfalcone.

Having MUCH experience with this spot, I would say this is absolutely average. Once, I even had to give up when I wanted to travel to Berlin. Most often, I just got a ride for a couple of kilometers until the next fuel station, which is again just average. Usually have to wait here for 30min-1hour with my wife. Without her up to infinity haha. Close to the fuel station are some traffic lights. My personal opinion: It's better to stay behind the traffic lights!

Took that spot 4 or 5 times now, alone as a guy, during day time. 
Max waiting time was about an hour, min. about 5 min, avg. about 20-30min. 
Its a pretty good spot to get North and south on the A1, it is important though to ask people and be happy with being taken only to the next Gas station ON THE A1. 
It is ok but not perfect, dont know a better spot though.

Monday, ca. 15:00 o'clock. Many locals drive by to fill up fuel. Only a few cars leaving the city.
It took me 30 minutes to find a lift to the next gas station in direction to Hamburg on A1.

Be sure to approach the gasstation on the side of the traffic leaving the city, because it's nearly impossible to cross the road during rushour.

If you want to go to Hannover/A7 south, ask people from Verden (license plate VER) if they can take you to the service area "Goldbach" on the A27 at exit Langwedel. It's not far, but definitely a better place to find a lift to the south.

If someone brings you to the south part of M0 and you want to go in the center of Budapest, the best stop is where the little (green) 6 road crosses the M0.

It's a very good place to get a ride to the south side of the river, I like to write "outra margem" on a sign, you can also use "área de serviço Barreiro". You can easily be dropped at Barreiro service station on the highway just a few kms after the bridge, and from there find a ride to the next one "Palmela", and then you're on your way to Algarve, or Spain, or wherever south. Enjoy the view from the bridge and shout "Até já, Lisboa!"

Thanks to Manfred for perfect hh spot recommendation! 
a pretty good, fairly visible place to hitch a ride towards Budapest or Bratislava. Next to BP station, just after traffic lights and with a separate lane for cars going to gas station. 
I recommend to stand  with large destination sign just under BP gas-price board, so cars can spot you from the traffic light and pull over.
Pros:
+  It's relativity close to the city center. 
+ good visibility. cars going slow and have to stop at traffic lights. 
+ easy to pull over
+less attended spot that one on A4 highway (same day were there 3 groups) 
Cons: 
- No wifi
- No food
- a lot of local traffic.

Doesn't really seem to have much traffic here, and there's not really a proper place for the cars to stop. They have to stop over the bicycle lanes or in front of one of the entrances to the right.
I'd rather walk a bit more and try hitchhiking in the crossing of Fynsvej with Lyshøj Alle, I tried hitchhiking there a few times and was picked up in less than 5min.

I got a ride from here on a winter day with blowing snow in about 20 minutes, but I would not choose this spot again; instead, to go south the best is to walk on the other side of the bridge for about 1 km until the guardrail ends and there there will be plenty of space for the cars to stop.

From my experience of this place, don't try signs with Stockholm and distant cities, had no success with that for a long time. Gas station before Helsingborg is a good spot to switch rides if you wanna continue further north.

Twice I hitched from here and it was very easy both times. Last time the guy drove me to my door in Malmö. Its awfully comfortable since the spot is just a short walk from the terminals and metro station. Saving 20 Euro + crossing a border. Not bad.
Ohh and check out the tags made by fellow hitchhikers on the sign at the bus stop. I will contribute to that in 2 days on my way back from europe.

Happy travels!

Just like the other people are saying. It was 5 cars, then a ride. People are returning from dropping someone at the airport or heading home to Sweden for other reasons.  The bus stop is just after a roundabout up a hill. Perfect visibility with cars going slowly. Next right is the onramp to the bridge. never pay for the train.  Make sure you have a passport though as they kontrol on the swedish side.

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

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

This spot is excellent for both directions, as there is a parking with petrol station and amenities on both sides. I used it several times and never had to wait too long. There are a lot of long range trucks, it is convenient to get a ride to Germany, Austria, France or the Netherlands. From the other side Romania or Turkey is also possible. The only drawback is, that it is not so easy to get out there if you are in town. The public transportation route planner came up with this solution: take the Csepel HÉV from Boráros tér to Karácsony Sándor utca, there change to bus Nr 38 and travel to Almafa utca. You are pretty close (2kms) and you can walk the rest of the way. Maybe there is something easier, but I don't know about it.

I did this travel one time by month during a year and it's the best spot to leave Laval in the direction of Rennes. Wait a car for Rennes directly or at least the toll : La gravelle.
To arrive at this spot from Laval, take the bus I in the direction of St Berthevin until "Concorde" and go back until "avenue de la liberation" and turn at left and walk until the traffic circle. OR take the bus J in the direction of St berthevin and stop at "relais" after come back and turn right at Avenue de la liberation and walk until the traffic circle. Stay here with a sign and it will be good!

I find this spot quite good. There is a traffic and cars must wait, so they have plenty of time to get accustomed to yuor sight:) There's no obvious place to stop, but it doesn't matter, and usuallly you can get a lift. You can hitchhike to Rzeszów, Brzesko, Tarnów etc, but have in mind that there is also a highway (payable). You can get there using bus nr 304 (only a bit more expensive than normal ticket), get out on the last stop ("wieliczka koncowy")

A quite small petrol station with Autogrill. 
It is theoretically a good spot to hitch away from Milano but its quite hard getting there by public transportation. I took an S-train direction Abbiaragate to the station Cesano Boscone and from there bus 323 to D'Acquisto-Liberta stop at the roundabout. From there you have to cross a kind of natural park which then ends and you have to walk through 2 fields crossing two small "rivers", for the first there is a tree put as natural bridge, the second you have to take shoes off and walk through. Otherwise its impossible to get to the motorway. After this there was even some road works around the station so I had to cross the road works illegally. After all this I got a direct ride to Basel, Switzerland.

This was our best spot (better than the edge of Perpignan) to get a lift all the way to Barcelona.

All the cars are going that way so it's much more likely. As other users recommend, try to get a lift all the way to your destination in Spain, as hitching Spain is hard, even at Auto-stops! We thought we had a lift with a trucker to Barca, but he actually took us 40 miles out of the centre to a sleep-over truck stop, which for a trucker probably is Barcelona!

We had no trouble with the Police hut here (it was empty), but perhaps ask your ride here to take you to the stop off point AFTER the Peage when coming here just in case...

Very good spot, much better than another closer to the center along Armii Krajowej.To get there: from Osiedle Blonie take a bus 52 going to PODKOWA. Watch out, don´t get on a bus with the same number with the destination of Osiedle Lesne, they will take you close to the first point but not any close to this one. The Podkowa buses go only every 40 minutes - 1 hour depending on the time of the day. Get off at the bus stop Jezdziecka/Gdanska and hitch on the bus stop :)

July 2019 direction Ljubljana. One way or the other, the only option to go on the highway. Lots of space for car to pull by with cars from different countries (car plats), but not much traffic on a weekday afternoon. Waited around 20-30 minutes until a truck driver took me to the gas station right before Zagreb.

It was a Sunday in February, so I guess that explains my long waiting time, too - - wanted to go to the Netherlands via Osnabrück, but it was extremely hard to find people not following the A2 but going the A30. It's a really perfect place to go to cities like Dortmund (other hitchhiker I met there had to wait for only 30min that day) also on a Sunday there were many many dutch and polish people passing going back to the Netherlands, if they are not full, they will take you! In this case it is a very good place for getting direct rides to the Netherlands! Wait for someone that can take you far! I was lucky enough to find some dutch people taking me to the doorstep!

Even if you don't like asking around, it's a very small airport so it's very easy to walk out to the road and stick your thumb out. If you walk about 500m from the first parking lot there's a junction from an internal road from which airport employees and people picking up rental cars might come out, so it's good to stand right in front of it.

If you want to get to the south walk through the tunnel and then right. after  500 m you are there.

I usually stand half way between the street Nøddehaven and the Q8 gas station, there's sufficient room to pull over, and when people stop at the traffic light they're not going too fast. It's a tricky spot though because the right lane is full of trucks and vans. Waiting time varies between 5 minutes and two hours. I rarely use a sign here since almost all the traffic goes on the motorway and should take you at least to Karlslunde service area. An average spot, but probably the best way to get out of CPH nonetheless.

It really depends on the day and the time. Sometimes you wait 5 minutes, sometimes 20. It is easy to get a lift to Lengenfeld (next town) and it is fairly easy to get a lift to Zwickau and the A72 (use a sign!)

This place looks good on paper, but in practice most traffic is local, and does not go onto the A10/A11. There is no petrol station before the toll station in St-Arnoult, but people who say they go to St-Arnoult in general don't go to the toll station but to the village, which isn't the same. Most traffic that stops if for the shopping centre "les Ulis".

Bon sport pour la direction A51 (MANOSQUE / GAP). Ayez de la patience car il y a peu de traffic. 

ATTENTION : INUTILE DE MARCHER PLUS LOIN POUR TROUVER UN MEILLEUR SPOT, LA ROUTE EST TRES ACCIDENTE SANS AUCUNE PLACE POUR S'ARRETER

Goos spot to go toward A51 (MANOSQUE / GAP). 
Little trafic.

DON'T GO MORE AWAY BY WALK CAUSE THE ROAD IS VERY TURNING AND THERE IS NO PLACE TO STOP.

If you're taking the 6 or 6a bus, DO NOT get off here, it goes much further to better spots. If you're walking from Kelvingrove or the west end this is an acceptable spot to reach for free. There isn't a perfect place to stand as there are guard rails blocking you from the view of cars, so you must wait next to the petrol station and the car must pull into the petrol station to pick you up. Only got a ride to Dumbarton, but it's better than waiting here!

It depends on where do you want to go. If you want to go Pécs from Lánycsók, it's better than go from Mohács (cause there is a traffic roundabout from Mohács with 3 directions - Budapest, Pécs and the country border, and from Lánycsók there is about only 1 direction: Pécs).
If you want to go Mohács, it's really easy, by car it's about 5 minutes, by foot is about 30-40 minutes.

I have the same experiment as the previous comment said. This is not a good place if you want to leave Szeged at noon. I suggest the next bus stop in front of the Nagybani piac at the roundabouts by the highway, but hard to say. In the morning you could get a better chance to have a lift from here. (anyway the bus stop is near the Budapesti út, the point suggest a forest road, so you have to stay at the "Nyári tanya" bus stop)

This spot is a bit diffcult to reach but once there trying to get a lift to Tampere I wasn't able to get a direct ride but I waited maybe about 20 minutes to get a lift to a petrol station maybe 20 kilometres ahead and from there I got a lift to Tampere.

As I arrived I was quite hopeless and thought that I won't get a lift from there because there wasn't much traffic and people just drove to places nearby. But after an hour or something I got a direct lift to Leipzig. So it worked out quite well anyway. The petrol stations stuff was quite funny and helpful, thanks for that!
Good luck, God bless you!

I unknowingly tried this spot on a public holiday so had a very tough time and was a bit stranded there. Most of the cars were local and very few trucks stopped.

Especially good during the week. I HH from here often on friday afternoon. Heading to the east: sometimes cars bring you immediately to the E313/E34, but if they aren't going the correct motorway, they can drop you off at the roundabout in Wommelgem. This doesn't work when the car is heading to the north (E19).

BEWARE : The society in charge of the motorway A88 is just a completely crazy society. They don't tolerate hitchhikers at all.

They kicked us out from the toll station in only 2 minutes, at 8.30p.m, just before the night. The motorway was empty. THey didn't let us hitch from the small "aire de repos" close to the tool station. They called the police. THey droped us on the departementale. NEVER HAD SUCH A BAD EXPERIENCE BEFORE !!!!!

Arrived there at 8PM and waited (literary stayed at the place all the time) until... 9AM. Yes, I am stubborn as hell. Almost freeze but finally got a direct ride to Zadar. 

There is some traffic all night but people don't stop. (especially in winter). 

Don't worry about police. They stopped me before and told about this spot saying that "they will pretend to not see me". So just behave nicely and they should be fine, they even controlled cars when I was hitch-hiking.

i was dropped here on a saturday afternoon during summer, i wanted to reach rouen and got a ride for alençon-nord that i thought would be better (since rouen is north). there was no much traffic, far less that in alençon-nord, where there is also a resting area.

If you come from the railway station of stradella, theres a roadmap in the station, where you can see the way to the gas station. Once you reach the end of the city, dont follow the main road that is only for cars and turns towards the gas station but turn left onto a road that is closed with red barriers. The railroad crossing is closed as well but if you are careful and slip through the barrier you will reach the gas station from behind.

Great if you go north or south, hard if you look for a car towards Berlin. In my opinion it's always better to talk to people infront of the restaurant instead of standing with sign or thump.

- If you want to go from here to Berlin I recommend you to take a car northwards north until you are north of A2. Shortly after exit 54, Großburgwedel at 52.504431, 9.824794, you can get off and go over a bridge to a resting area for cars going south. There it is easier to find a car heading towards east.

Circumstances: We were 3 people heading to Paris, but we were OK with splitting up. Strategy: Asking directly at the tollbooth, standing in front of the parking space with a sign, standing at the roundabout with a sign.

Findings: A lot of traffic on a Sunday, but nearly everybody (>80%) was going south. Impossible to get a ride. Waited 5 hours and then gave up. Also discovered a warning written on the concrete saying "hitchhiking spot of death"...

Probably good if you want to get to Lyon. If going to Paris, take the bus (nr. 7) from Mâcon main train station to Chalon-sur-Saône (1.50 EUR) and try highway entry Chalon-Nord. We had a good experience there. Mâcon-Nord or -Centre might also work better.

A bit difficult to stop cars, because it pretty fast road (by the gas station). We were trying to get to Krakow via Žilina, we had many difficulties to get to Krakow, maybe it would be  better to go there through Brno,because highway goes only to Žilina. Waited for 45 mins.

Août 2013, avec une amie et un carton CANNES, nous avons constaté que le niveau de connaissance géographique par ici était bien bas. La majorité ddes automobilistes se demandaient où se trouvait la ville inscrite sur notre carton (à savoir CANNES). Nous avons aussi constaté que beaucoup d'automibilistes voulant (d'après les signes qu'ils nou faisaient) aller en Italie se trompait de direction et prenait finalement la direction que nous voulions prendre également. Ils ont du faire un sacré détour pour arriver en Italie... 

Bref, mauvaise expérience à cet endroit. Nous avons finalement réussi à être pris en allant parler aux automobilistes à un feu rouge, plus en amont du trafic. Nous avons été pris pour le prochain péage.

You can wait immediately at the drive-up, there's enough space for you to wait safely and for the driver to stop just behind you. The first person passing gave me a lift.

me + Nicol

from Malaga,ES to Prague,CZ

21:30-5:00 11.8.2015

We got up from a truck and begun to ask another truckers. After 10 we met our last driver talking with another Polish driver. He said he s going to St. Avold (between Metz and Saarbrucken), but at 5 in the morning. We were asking another drivers (30) for one hour, but no offer was better than this one, so we accepted it and went to sleep. (Luckily, cause Mariusz was great!)

A lot of traffic, a lot of truckers. If I was alone, I could go as far as Luxembourg, Berlin, Poland, Budapest.

me + Nicol

from Malaga,ES to Prague,CZ
7-11:00 10.8.2015

We came here in the 7 am (I slept just 2 hours). We started to ask for a ride after 1 hour of waking up, eating, having a shower (!),...

We couldn t get a ride. We tried to hike on a roundabout with a sign Barcelona for 40 minutes. We asked the passing and stationed truckers. We asked at the station. We wanted for Barca at the first, than for Sagunt and than just to the city.

Nothing.
People going from work to work. Truckers waiting to get loadad. Locals.
It was sunday morning and I was with a nice girl. Average traffic.
According to this experience: senseless.

Than we took a train to the center and Sagunt, which worked fine.

For us it didn't look like a good spot but eventually turned out to be a great one. We went in direction West and got a ride to Ulm. We waited behind the roundabout exit to the motorway, there's a little space to stop for the cars. By standing here you have cars within reach both from the gas station and from the road AIC10, which is a good amount. Several local people, they are very kind. Don't need a sign, accept rides even for just 50 km. 2 persons (me and my girlfriend), Saturday, 10 mins.

Entierement d'accord : ca reste un bon spot car accessible depuis Marseille, pour en sortir rapidement.
Mais ne surtout pas attendre avec un panneau, aller parler aux conducteurs (meme camions) en leur demandant d'etre deposes a la station suivante (Lancon) ou il y a plein d'options longue distance avec peu d'attente !
ENGLISH:
I agree with the comment above: I'd say that it's actually a good spot because it's easily reachable from Marseilles, for those who struggle to get out the city!
But don't use a sign, GO TALK to drivers (even trucks) asking to be dropped at the very next station (Lancon), where you'll find long-distance rides very fast!

I was lucky: the road by the gas station was on work, however a few cars still stop to fill up their tanks. I asked drivers, and the second driver I asked gave me a ride all the way to Lyon (I was going to Geneva). If you ask drivers, you can get a ride at least to the next gas station on the highway.

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

Waiting time between 0 and 10 minutes.

Somewhere on this road, but I don't know where exactly, there is a small supermarket with lots of place to stop for cars. It's on your right side if you're coming from Tana and heading to Utsjoki. A truck stopped here for me. Not much traffic.

Used this spot on my journey to Belgrade, there were locals using it too so I just waited my turn and got a lift to Sumbulovac. Mostly local traffic but you should take whatever lifts and just keep going in the Serbia direction, bring a map.

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

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

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

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

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

Not a great place for hitchhiking as vehicles are allowed to go at 70km/h legally (meaning they go faster than that). There is enough stopping space.

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

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

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

Also working for Millau, it's a quicker way, but it's not shown on the directions signs. It worked really well for me

You can either ask on a gas station or go near the nearby bus stop just after the crossing waving at cars there.

nice spot. possible to ask people on the parking lot. Also all cars from the aiport are passing by and they have the chance to look at you for a longer time and also stop conviniently. Traffic speed is low.

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

I hitchhiked to Zagreb for 3 and half hours there. There is a small place for cars to stop before entering a tunnel but if you go down the road (100 m) you can find lots of truck drivers that are probably going on long distances. I wasn't that lucky. I't was bad day at that harbor i think. :)

I don't like this place yo much. I walk further around railway. You can check with Google. There are place ppl can drive in to park. So for me it's nice and big place for ppl to stop for pick you up and driver can see you from far.  I was going to krk and got pick up soon. But as I knew another guy going to spilt didn't get the luck. Assume just too far.

Roadworks atm, and the situation will probably change a lot the next months. Still not a bad spot right now, but inside the city might work better. Eventually there's gonna be a tunnel all through Nijverdal, which will change the hitching here a lot.

cars actually can't stop here - not enough space to do so. but for Mulhouse it's worth a try anyways. waited there for about 30 minutes on a Tuesday afternoon

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

weird place :)
dogs everywhere (but they're harmless), policemen hitching around, but you'll find a lift. have a MK sign and you'll get to the boarder. or to the petrol station close after Čukarka (its close to the boarder)

Cars are slowed down right after the curve by the PEDESTRIANS TRAFFIC LIGHTS crossing Av del Ebro to the train station.

From there I got a ride all the way to Bilbao after aprxtly 2.5h

Good spot, there is a bus station so cars can pull out. If the drivers you are with are going North, they can leave the highway to drop you there and then will have no trouble to go back in.

No luck here on a rainy day, not many cars, lots of trucks but none  would take me. I had to jump the fence walk half hour then get a bus from Bidart back into Biarritz for plan B.

Insa and Jan took this spot in May 2013, going to Burgos. You really need to be careful here as it’s a narrow road and not much space to stop or stand.

Great place to hitch. The cars cannot see you while they wait in front of the traffic lights because of some bushes, but the have plenty of space to stop after they see you. Got a ride in 5 mins.

Not at all senseless! We waited for about 30min on a rainy winter day (New Year's Eve 2017) and made it all the way to the Dutch boarder. Very recommendable - cars CAN hold (if they want to).
