You'd think there'd be a lot of rides considering how busy it is, but no. Waited 3.5 hours with "EAST!" sign before cops came. They don't want you flying signs of any sort, but luckily got ride shortly after.

This is supposedly the best exit for this town. Hardly any cars, people don't want to stop for you period. Didn't get ride a full day (10AM - 10:30PM) Finally next day someone took pity on me and drove me to Montana border. They said people have been stuck there 4 days before. Do not hitch here.

Most are willing to drive short distances. Enough traffic to wait for better hitch, though. (don't get stuck in Wallace.) Really nice area to bed down for the night under bridge. water crystal clear but may have lead and arsenic.

After traffic lights, in direction of Bois-de-Villers, cars can easily stop here. 

Many cars ride here from Namur and Wépion, but people coming from Namur don't have much time to see you ...

Cars coming from Aywaille have much time to see you, before going on the highway

it's easy to stop because there's an unused lane on the right side

Most people go to Liège, or ride along the Guillemins train station, close to which other spots exist (Namur, Bruxelles)

It still would be better if you had a sign !

Entrance to the highway dir. Luxembourg. There is a sidewalk that you can stand on. it's important to have a sign otherwise cars won't stop.

Cars can easily stop, but there is no unused lane. They have to stop on the way, but it's wide enough for other cars to ride around ... 
There are lights, so you can hitchhike late.

if you're not lucky, try to reach the next petrol station "Noidre Est" and restart hitchhiking from there

this is a good place to go to Namur or Brussels. 
Cars at any time of the day ...

Not easy to reach, because there is not much space to walk. You have to walk on the right side of the way, next to parked cars so you can't see fast cars coming on your back...

But once reached, really good place. Cars have to slow down before going on the highway, have time to see you and can easily stop.
Stand on the unused lane with a sign.

Opposite the Gas station is a pedestrian walk along the road. Cars can pull in at the entrance to a parking area. If you don't want to ask people at the station, this spot is perfect. Mainly local traffic, getting to Bad Tölz works quite well, probably Miesbach,too.

Good spot to get onto the Autobahn. People from Liezen drive past you as well as the ones who left the Autobahn in order to drive over the pass, thereby avoiding to pay for the tunnel. You also have a gas station close by or you can try by the roundabout although there is not so much space to pull over.

On-ramp and a gas station, not much else to be seen.  Mainly local traffic though, be prepared to only go a short way and best arrange for a good drop-off point before getting in. Visibility not great because of the overpass, but it's ok and there is room to stop.

Excellent place for going to Georgia! Waited here for a ridiculous 2min until a car took me directly to the border, from where the first car took me straight to Tbilisi. Cars are really slow here and I assess the overall hitchability as insanely great! There is public transport from Vladikavkaz but I forgot which minibuses go there. Ask people or add it here.

Most car leave the airport by this road. There is a stop sign so they have to stop.

If it is sunny and not too late, give it a try, preferably with a sign.

I got a lift after 10-15 min, the guy dropped me at a suburb train station (RER), from there i paid 3.50 € to arrive to Paris.

Ask for a free Paris map at the info booth in Terminal 1 beforehand.

In case you fail, you can always walk back and take the 17 € bus.

DON'T GET OFF HERE!!!! I wanted to travel westbound (coming from Tabas, in the south), but there were only few cars and none stopped. The worst thing is the police checkpoint. They were bored and that's why bothered my for 2.5h hours, checking my passport. So you should either walk for a kilometre or so westbound or make a detour via Bardaskan.
Otherwise going south should be really easy.

A9 both directions, though easier to go east, as there is more space to stop for eastbound cars. I caught a ride to Nimes pretty quick. [ P.S. If you need a place to crash, there is a nice small grove between the roads just north of the spot. Nobody will disturb you]

I arrived at the spot, on a monday at 10:30. Given this gas station being fairly big and having a high traffic frequency I was astonished that I only after more than two-and-a-half hours, the first vehicle stopped to pick me up. I am not sure, if this was due to the rain, or the spot being located in Britain. Tough Time!

This spot is full of local hitchhikers, which are all willing to pay a bit for their ride. I tried for over 5 hours at all points between the police checkpoint and the small street joining later before some french picked me up. As everywhere along this road with some patience you can get very long rides to Mauritania.

Not the best place to wait, as there is limited space for cars to stop, but it is possible without being a danger to traffic. Wait time was longer, due, I think, to this. 30+ mins wait, longer than my average.

Eastbound. Walk to petrol station (one minute) as it's the only area with space to stop. You're still a bit close to passing lorries, but it's the best option I have found. 10-15min wait. Westbound, there is a lay-by after the roundabout.

Vers l'est, marcher jusqu'au station service. Vers l'ouest, il y a la place au bord de la route après le rond-point.

There usually are a couple of hitchhikers at the wall next to the city, but I tried there for several hours without much success. There is not much traffic going south and most drivers don't take you if you are not willing to pay. So walking out further helped me as the driver couldn't hope for paying hitchhikers after me anymore. There is a roundabout with space to stop for cars afterwards here (but you can try hitchhiking all the way here). Be careful of a guy living in an improvised hut directly at the road who started touching me sexually but was harmless after I told him that I am not interested and walked away.

If you come from this or the other side of the Rhine(Rhein), you can use this place to go to the A3. You can walk from the ferry in the direction to A3 up to the mountain in the direction 'Aegidienberger Wald' or 'Rottbitze', and you can stay at all places on the way. Walk and take your thumb up or better your carton if you pass by a car.

The farry cost 0,90€ for one person. If you sitting in the car as a co-driver, you pay, too. 
http://www.rheinfaehre-linz-remagen.de/
the first goes at 6am and the last at 12pm.

maybe you can ask the people in the cars on the ferry of they going in the near to A3.

In the other directiion, you can arrive from the A3 and go to the other side of the river or the places in the near but you can't find a biger freeway in the near. just federal-roads.

Location is conveniently accessible by public transport. I stood here for about an hour unsuccessfully waiting for a ride to Edmonton since most of the traffic is going to Airdrie. Easier to go there first if you need to go north.

I wanted to cross the border to Latvia, many cars did stop but none of them were going to Latvia. It took one hour to finally find a truck that was heading there. But once we reached the border I had to change there because there was a huge truck queue. Still it took me 5 hours to cross. If you really want to cross the border with hitchhiking, better go to the gas station that is 50 meters in front of this spot. Cars stop there before crossing the border. This is what a local advised me. For nonsense reasons I didn't listen. Note that drivers may be reluctant to take hitchhikers aboard because it might complicate border controls for them. Talk to them and explain that all your documents are in order to cross.

So a truck brought me to the border but there was a huge queue. It could have taken more than a day to cross with him. So I waited for a car to come since controls are faster for them. But there are very very few of them and they seem to be reluctant to pick up hitchhikers to the border due to possible control complications. So I had to cross with a truck ahead on the queue (them too were reluctant for the same reasons). It took about 4-5 hours to complete all border controls.
So if you want to cross the border I rather advise you to go by bus or train or by car with sombody you know.

On one exit just across the large adult store the cars are going too fast and the only rides you'll get is from creeps at the store (have your knives ready)

The other exit is slow so people have time to consider picking you up, but there's hardly any traffic and people in the area I'm told will not pick up hitchhikers. Waited here 2.5 days.

probably this spot was meant to be at the nearby parking which is on the other side of the motorway.It's called Kolberg and even so there's no service or gas station it is a good point to hitchhike. If you're coming from this area it's best to ask a friend to drive you there to start hitchhiking. A lot of people stop there due to traffic which is always high in this area.
It will not be a problem to find a direct lift to the ring of Berlin or even further to poland etc.

I hitchhiked further on to Tallinn from here. It took me some time untill I got a ride though. Few days earlier I got dropped off from a truckdriver at this spot. He was going to Tallinn, so I would assume that long distance drivers to further north would take that route.

To get to St. Petersburg/Narva Take the bus to Pirita Jõgi like it sais in the hitchwiki article. Pay attention to the schedule! In the morning there's a gap in it. 
I don't really think that it's much better to walk on behind the bridge. Cars are going pretty fast there and it might be better to just stay at the bus stop and hitch a ride from there.

I tried to hitch a ride from somwhere here to moscow. It was quite difficult and I couldn't really find a good place to stand. It's probably best to stand at some of the cross walks. It was also not really worth it to walk on towards the hill to make use of the natural slow down. There's less space and cars are as fast. If you end up here just be patient and within an hour you'll get your lift ;)

Try to avoid hitchhiking from Moscow to Nizhny Novgorod on a friday....traffic is insane.
While seeing the huge traffic jam going up the hill I tried to get a lift to Nizhny Novgorod from there. After about 20 minutes I just decided to walk along the traffic jam searching eye contact with some driver and stuck out my thumb. That worked pretty well, however walking was the same speed :D TAKE CARE! The hard shoulder can become very dangerous in Russia!

Good spot there, moderate traffic toward Nové Strašecí (on way to PRG) and someone also goes to PRG directly. Up by the way is one more line for trucks (because its up to hill) and its long, so car can safely pick up you. Trees are near road so if sun is high on sky you will be still cool with that. Also if no one can pick you, get rest by just going down to town, straight by the street, there´s museum and park with small river and many benches.

Comfy place here, BUS stop, nice park behind you. Also city circle isn't built yet so there´s big traffic jam at morning and evening almost each day so drivers literally stop on road and have a time to look at you an decide whether yes or not to pick up you. If no, just take BUS to PCE. It you get tired, or you need to sleep, try altan in middle of park, U can just take a nap with only sleeping pad cos its covered by roof.

/!\\ Difficult access /!\\
From the metro station "Puerta del Sur", walk down the "Avenida de Leganés" (south-east) till the crossroad. (~750m)
from there, keep walking on the M406 till the start of the bridge above the R-5.
Cross the fence, and get down the very steep hill. It can be very slippery, so take care!
Once your down, you just need to walk till the gas station, 100m away at the west.
Though there's much traffic, most of the cars will be going toward west, on the A-5.

Heading to the border with Peru. Although the road is friendly to stop cars and people around are really pleasant, the traffic is extremely(!) low.

It's possible to rely only on good luck to get a ride to Peru, when taking local rides is not recommended except you are ok walking few days and camp. 
After 50-60 km south from Vilcabamba, there is no paved road up to the border and dirt road is usually in a bad condition due to rains, sometimes even closed.

Heading to Jaen.
There is a 24-hours gas station at the exit of town that can be reached walking from the town.

Except taxis there is low local traffic. No trucks. Locals wants money (transportation is a popular business here), but it's possible to negotiate and even ask for a free ride.
My best was to get a ride for 3 soles (less than $1) to Jaen at 9pm. On the way driver took a lot of usual passengers, so part of a ride I spent in a trunk among huge luggage.

Heading to Chiclayo.
Trucks are going from East to the coast direction. During the afternoon there were not a lot of them. I suppose more trucks are passing during the evening and night time, because of the hot weather.

The road side is good enough for cars to stop. There is a shadow from the hill. Be ready that a ride to Chiclayo will be long. Despite less than 300km of distance, trucks need up to 10 hours to make it by the mountain road. (+time for stops).

There is a bus stop which is a great spot if you go to Brno or Praha. If a driver goes only to Brno and you want to continue to Praha (or just not to go to Brno and continue on D1), it is the best place to be dropped as there no petrol stations or good spots on D1 before a turning to the city. The waiting depends on day, but it generally pretty good. You usually get a lift pretty fast (in few minutes) on Sunday afternoon as many people are going back to Praha or Brno.

This spot should work also for the direction Vyškov and Olomouc, but I have not tried it yet. If you have, please just confirm.

Roads to chengdu and sichuan. Great spot to hitchhike! Unfortunatly i don't remember the bus who go there. I think it's 315 but i'm not sur, you can take from the west avenue. It's around 30mn to go there by bus. You have to exit 1 or 2 stop after the tv tower on your left. You can not miss it, so ifyou are not sur it's the tv tower you see,  It's not the tv tower. Then keep walking same direction as the bus (or go back on your feet if you past under the highway in the bus)Then you have to walk along the road who go to the toll gate. There is a sign "forbidden to pedestrian" but nobody care and chinese also walk along that road. It's not dangerous and only around 100m walking to the toll gate. I find a 300km drive in 10mn, a lot of place for car to stop, they drive slowly and can see you.

Petrol station is behind the acoustic bars, so there is no place to hitchhike there. We moved back to the motorway, there is a piece of grass before the exit to petrol station. We catch a car to Debrecen in 10 minutes. However, not a very safe spot to stand.

Sagunt

A big station known by truckers and visited by tourists and families.
Best place to hike north (Zaragoza or Barcelona and France) from Valencia.
(This is exact location of Sagunt, direction north.)

Getting here requires some time and knowledge:

Go from Valencia to Puçol(Puzol) by...
A) a yellow bus 115A (1,55€) or
B) a train C6 from Station Nord (around 20min, 2,65€).
Once in Puzol, ask for the roundabout (redonda) on the "carretera de Barcelona". Here is a cheap supermarket. Go on north on CV306. Pass under a bridge, go on 50m where is a small road on the left with a "stop" sign. Take it. On the righ side you have orange trees of Els arenas (with a little little swimming pool). The road takes you under a second bridge, than you go on 2km north along the highway on the left and mandarine and orange orchards on the right until you get to the Sagunt station.
Circa 40 minutes of walking (with supermarket and oranges, mandarines, cactus fruit, figs - depending on a season).

(Description is based on Amede74's note and Seminko's experience)

If you are staying at the campsite and want to go south towards Banff this is the best stop. Stand right where the shoulder reaches it maximum width so that cars coming from Jasper and the campground have a good visual on you and enough room to stop behind. I hitchhiked together with another guy and it took about an hour until someone stopped. If you are going by yourself it'll be even easier to get a ride.

A gas station on the local road number 18 which goes south through Delemont and almost to La-Chaux-De-Fonds. A great road to be taking if you are going to Geneva as it gives you some time to relax from the cities and highways and enjoy the nature and meet great people.

From here you can ask people to drop you as much down the road as you can. You should be trying to get out of the city so it's easier to catch a ride. Ask on the station or thumb on the road, the choice is yours.

You can reach this spot with a D bus from Geneva. There doesn't seem to be any control and the bus driver opens the back doors.

This spot is technically good but we waited for more then an hour and finally someone stopped. You should try it out and let us know.

From here it's good to hitch for the entrance of the highway ("autoroute entrence" in French) towards South.

if you didnt succeed to find a driver on the ferry,when they open the gangway-RUN all the way down to this place and you'll catch the cars leaving the ferry.it turns out there are plenty of drivers who take cabins to get some sleep even if its the day ferry.
P.S the gangway is situated ino the "viking cruises" building on the left. if you took the wrong road and stucked in front of the railway-just jump over it-it's not functioning!

Few cars coming to the station, and mostly locals. We had no problem with the staff, and got a lift to Brno within an hour (our driver was heading to Praha). Other hitchhikers to Czech were standing on the highway. They got caught by the police twice, so beware.

Not really sure if it is allowed to HH there, but getting on the side of the motorway is easy and cars can stop on the few meters quick resting spot. Not the best spot though, as mostly trucks with Gdansk registration drive by in quite low frequencies. Waited around 45 min to an hour go get to south/Ostroda. Easy reachable by tram 8, just walk by and pass Lotos gas station (maybe an alternative, but I did not see many cars stopping there)

That round about connect Larnaca at the coast, Nicosia at the interior ,Larnaca Airport and Limassol at the west and Agia Napa at the east.

The highway goes under the roundabout, so is hard tog et that kind of cars, but all cars which go through the roundabout will go more slowly. 

I sued mostly to go Agia Napa, never more than 10 minutes waiting. Is the entrance of the highway so go careful when walking. On that side of the road, at left after some big plants which hide the cars view, there is some margin on the road enough for a car who wants to stop to do it. 

You can wait there having some space of visibility, or stay in the intersection of the cats who came from the roundabout or directly from Nicosia road, the cars from round about they are really slow but they can't really stop.  

To get there you can hitchhike from the city asking to take you out, never tried in Larnaca but in Nicosia works well. Or manage to arrive the closest bus stop 'Acropoleos Avenue 1' numbers 417 ,454 409,415

At the entrance of the highway direction to Larnaca in that case (cross the bridge for another direction). Just before the entrance there is a oil station but facing agia napa, and a bus stop and a lot of space to stop, but my experience is better when I hit my feet into the exit road. Cars from highway they are too fast but there is small chance to them to stop.   If you are in Agia Napa you can walk here, but Iit will take some time, you can hitchike around the road in any bus stop, it work fine for me. Bus stop closer is from Nissi avenue, 101 or 102 is and example.

I have hitchhiked north from this spot multiple times. Even with two people I never had to wait more than 30 minutes. Go all the way to the gas station or stop even before, so that people may see you earlier. There is a traffic light which means traffic is slow half of the times. When I was there in early September 2015, maintenance was going on beside the road, making it easier using the right lane for hitchhiking. There also is a Tim Hortons right across the street.

I think this spot is the best to go to A6 north, you can wait just near the traffic lights, and drivers can pull off on the bus line so there are not bothering other cars. Buses come every 5 minutes, so there is some time for real hitchhiking. A sign with A6/Peage definitively helps. If you can get a ride to Villefranche peage or the gas station on the A6 near Limonest, then you can find a car going further!

I have tried this place numerous times, and it works perfectly. People have space to pull off, and have time to see you. I usually get a ride to Annecy, but you have to ask to be left at the toll station (Peage), or you will have some difficulties to find your way back to the highway! People are mainly going to Annecy with the high speed road (free contrary to the highway), but the end point of this one is just near the north toll to the highway so drivers are usually okay to drop there.

I always send my guests to this place (Parkplatz Varrelheide) and they all said it was great. 

To reach it take a tram to Noltemeyerbrücke and from there Bus 631 until "An den Deichwiesen" if you travel eastwards or a stop further until "Franz-Steineke-Weg" if you want to travel towards west.

I hitched from here to Leh (and back) just after the road was opened, it was fantastic. I thought I must start early to make it to Leh in one day, but that's wrong, u better take your time for that trip, there are so many camps in stunning locations where you can sleep, eat and continue the next day. With private cars (many indian tourists) or a truck. Best road I ever hitched

Entrance to the National Park. There are different fees depending on how high into the mountains you want to go. We just bought the cheapest and went up all the way anyway. Hitchhiking into the NP might take a while but is totally possible. The view is fantastic. Getting back might be an issue as there is extremely little traffic in the evening (2 cars/h). That was after the end of the Macedonian school holidays.

Fairly decent spot if you are heading down to Regina. There was a construction going on in early September 2015 so cars were going at slow speeds.

I've hitchhiked from the services at Stansted Airport twice, both times waiting about 20 minutes, but had cars apologizing that they were going the wrong direction. Having a sign is an absolute must. (The staff at the restaurants are very friendly and gave me cardboard and wished me luck) The truckers I spoke to were very kind and helped me out by taking me all the way to Leicester, but you can really get most places from here. The actual exit isn't that great of a spot so I suggest going to the gas station exit where there's plenty of room to stop and you're very visible to drivers leaving and it's also opposite the trucker parking.

FERRY LIFT: alright, this is the place where you wanna go if you're looking for a free lift on the ferry. Coming from Tangier, if you get dropped at the passenger terminal roundabout, don't go left, cause that's the passenger terminal and you don't need to do anything there, don't go right where you see the truck sign cause that's just a parking lot I guess, GO STRAIGHT, where it seems like you shouldn't go, but that's where you want to go, walk a couple of kms, you'll get to the place where trucks are scanned before boarding (on the right hand side). There you'll find all the trucks waiting, start asking all the drivers for a lift to Algeciras, remind them they are allowed to take one more passenger on the truck for free, the port staff is friendly, won't give you any trouble.
It took us just 15 minutes to find a ride for me and my girlfriend, it was a three drivers turkish company, they were happy to take us with them. 
Alright, second step, getting your passport stamped, that's the hard part, before entering the scanning area, you need to pass through this toil boot-looking gates, where you'll need to go to the customs office on the left and get your passport stamped. there may be different officers, the one that was on shift got us into tight jams, he didn't want to stamp our passports, we told him we were trying to hitch hike a ride because we didn't have any money, and that what we were doing was totally legal, he said he didn't have the permission to do it, and told us to go to the main police office at the passenger terminal (that's a long walk), if it happened to you, DEMAND him to call his chief and INSIST ON IT, otherwise you'll have to go all the way back to the terminal. After half an hour we finally got our passports stamped and green light to go.
Third step, long wait for the truck to be scanned, and for the drivers to get all their papers, took us HOURS. Finally we could leave and go to the embarkation place, but be aware that tourists cars have the priority on boarding, so trucks will have to wait till there's room left on one of the ferries.
At the end of the day, it took us just 15 minutes to find a ride but 7 hours before  touching spanish land (the ferry is just one hour). 
NB: trucks pay several hundreds of euros for the ferry (12 hundred my truck), so hitchhikers being passengers usually get one free meal on board.

Probably the best spot for hitchhiking out of Thunder Bay. Traffic is slow cause of the lights with a gravel shoulder to pull over. You also get traffic from the 102 going east. One thing that needs to be noted is that there is a no pedestrian sign there. If you don't wish any anger with the cops I'd probably stand in front of it. Got a ride within 7 minutes taking me all the way to Marathon.

Right after the bridge, turn to the right and you will see the spot just after the junction. Good if you are heading to Poland. There is Enough space for cars to stop and good visibility. Plenty of polish truck drivers who will be happy to take you with them! Waited 10 min.

hitch hiking to Radom Warszawa.
many local traffic, but they're slow because of the roundabout. - we just showed the WWA - sign just when we saw a car from Warszawa coming arround the roundabout.
spot is ok, there's no space for trucks to stop. but a car stopped after30min and took us to Warszawa

You can got a ride near the church (bus stop) or, if you prefer, you can go directly to get a ride at intersections: 'rue de la gare' and 'rue de l'école'

This is the next gas station out of bilbao direction zaragossa/madrid.
Its nearly impossible to reach this station without a driver. we walked from the center of bilbao to here. First idea: walk one kilometer on the highway. While the daylight, seems impossible, cause the police is waiting for you before the entrance of the highway. So we had no other option, than to cross the nature! Got to the BI-625 and cross the river using a bridge. Then climb and struggle throught the nature :D. It was a adventure for us! Maybe its better to go the one kilometer on the highway by night. hopefully there is no police there :)

But from this station we waited 2 hours to get a ride direction madrid

Very good and only possible spot for hitchhike, you just walk straight by the main road and when you see a big sign saying Čadca/ Český Těšín, just stand there, there is quite a lot of space for cars to stop because it is the secondary lane that connects to the main road from the right side.

As soon as you are on the Ferry you can go around and ask people where they are going. It takes quite a lot of energy but it's worth it, you have to find out which people are not on a Bus trip and ask them if they are going in your direction. I highly recommend to force yourself to do it, even if it's just the next Service station, it's probably  A LOT better than Calais right now (Sept. 2015)

Get to Zaymishe (Займище) station by train and walk up a staircase leading onto the viaduct. Be aware you'll be hitchhiking on a motorway. There's a gas station a few hundred metres to the north, this might be a much better stop.

Toll booth: personnaly I went there from Auxerre (which is quite easy if you're patient and not afraid to walk) by following the road signs "Paris" and "A6".
Sometimes I had to wait for the traffic to thin up a bit before I could keep going, also I walked in quite a bit of vegetation (especially Urticae) which isn't that big a problem if you wear shoes and long pants. 

Walking on the (right) side of the road might not be comfortable for everybody since once you're out of the town, cars and trucks drive quite fast, however it's not dangerous in the least from my experience if you stay out of the road. If you don't want to walk all the way there, you could probably ask drivers at Auxerre driving North if they can drop you at the toll, but that's not something I tried.

I was trying to get to Tonnerre (EAST), which is right between Auxerre and Dijon, and far from the big roads. I was initially waiting at the gas station in the "Avenue du Maréchal Juin", but a guy from Auxerre dropped me under this bridge because it would be easier according to him, and it is indeed the perfect spot for hitchhikers (it being practical doesn't mean many will stop...): plenty of space for cars to pull over, great visibility, the bridge offers protection from the sun and they all slow down to take that turn.
Easy to reach on foot too.

If you wish to go SOUTH (or NORTH) from Auxerre, I suggest you continue (either on foot or ask to be dropped) to the highway toll further down the road (5km/2.5mi) to the East. From there catch a lift to the nearest rest area in the direction you want to go, and wait for somebody to take you.

Probably the best Spot in the Rendsburg Area. Parking lot and perfect highway approach will get you fast north and south (A7 to DK or Hamburg). The rual road (B203) works fine too, it brings you to the baltic sea (Eckernförde) or Rendsburg. Negative is the fact, that its pretty far out, about 6k from Rendsburg.

A good spot but the worst place ever to hitchhicke on the 65 cultures I went, from asia to america. Only expats (whites, Pakistani, Indians). Most Malawite will try to take advantage of your situation to make you pay (even if they are richer than you), begging is the national sport. Be aware that they can agree to take you for free but will change their mind one you will have make a couple of km with them, and they sometime become quite violent (on guy threatened me with iron rod). It's sad, but you can't really trust people there, try you will see. It's still possible, I hitchhike several hundert km (from Mzuzu Malawi to Zambia Lundazi and back,  to solve a visa issue) that was the most horrible trip I ever did, a more than a 20 years of international hitchhicke. You need to Waite for at least few hours, people making fun at you, I even got stoned and insulted while crossing small villages on foot (to get a better spot). I have been helped by few malawite (2 on 24 people, the 22 where foreigner). several hundert Malawit stopped, but ask money. 6 of them promise me a free ride but change their mind after few minutes.

Just to say: Mozambic, some part of Tanzania, South Sudan where very easy compare to Malawi.

It is an industrial area near the airport so, this bridge is mainly used by trucks and cars that come from the airport.

The road is relatively new so the traffic flow is not that much. But you can easily stop a car.

If you come from the airport it is about 15 to 20 min walking. If you come from Georgetown you can take a local bus (about 1usd) and get out right before the river and then walk 10 to 15 min.

Then you have to walk right over the field for ca. 500 meters. Then you*ll see the "Orlen"-Petrol Station.

If you don't ask people on the ferry because you fell asleep (like me), this is your best shot of getting a ride. This is where the trans canada begins again, the shuttle bus can take you fairly close. Try not to miss it though (like me), cause that will decrease your chances. If you miss all the cars coming off the ferry you'll have to wait til the next one comes. You can stand anywhere in the curve, the shoulder is very wide. Got a ride within 20 minutes.

Went here following the other spot description, before the bridge on a saturday morning at like 9am with a WARSZAWA sign.
Got a ride to Wroclaw in about 30min.

Not a perfect spot but good enough for people to spot, and the bridge can be a shelter for the rain.

A gas station in the direction of A2 motorway and Wrocław, but not the best choice. Few cars stop here, usually you will find the average of 2 trucks. Cars on the road are speeding 100+ km/h and don't want to lose the speed just for you. You can get here by bus to "Sanocka n/ż" stop and then walk +-1½ km. 
Better choice to hitchhike is probably Rondo Rataje earlier on the same road.

You can also try going by tram to the end of tracks and a bit further there is a gas station. 
Poor choice in the direction of Bydgoszcz, Toruń, in such case it's better to hitchhike on Gnieźnieńska Street, +- 2 km northeast.

I'm guessing at the hitch point somewhere along this road.  Traffic is fast but if you've got the patience you'll get a ride out of the city eventually.

Very good, but only as of November 13, 2015. The highway is being renovated here, so cars have to come to a complete stop before actually hitting the highway. There's a gas station 3 km down the highway, so I stood with a "3 KM" sign and a truck stopped, and actually drove me further than the gas station. I don't think such roadwork will last long, so think twice before hitchhiking here.

Good spot to go to Munich but also to A96 in direction of Lindau. There is a lot of space for cars to stop along the parking place. 

Best times to go to Munich are with the commuters in the morning and the returning weekend guests on Sunday evening. Many people can drop you at some S-Bahn or U-Bahn station in Munich so you can go to your final destination.

If you go in the direction of Lindau try to go at least a little further than Landsberg. (the gas station and Rastplatz "Lechwiesen" is shortly after Landsberg).

Try to avoid holidays or Sunday during the day as there might be no or little relevant traffic.

Place after the peage. It would be good if not the row of the trucks just on the right side so it is hard for small cars to go to the right and stop. (some drivers were willing to stop but they didn't suceed..).
Spanish police came at the moment we went to the further (better) spot so we moved to the frech area. French police also came here but they let us hitchhike from the sidewalk there (what was not so bad).
It can be better to walk to the roundabout in the city (what we did).

If you're going towards Dresden, this is the best spot in my experience. I tried the other spots before this, and there is nowhere for people to stop. Here, 6 cars stopped for me in 15 mins. I didn't have a sign, and one of these took me to Dresden - the rest were just going to the next town. The trick is to put your bags against the second pole/stake from the motorway sign, then stand to the left and in front of your bags. It's non threatening and people can see you. I tried other positions (behind pole) and it didn't work.

We first tried to hitchhike to go southwards from a gas station inside the city (Ancap) but almost all drivers were returning to the city or heading north. We got a ride from there to a point outside of the city (about 5km) where many trucks stop. There were dozens of them parked on the left side of the road when going south. We waited less than a minute until the first truck went out of that parking and picked us up!

Small gas station but probably your only option if you're going towards Turkey. 

At this point (November 2015) hitchhiking to Turkey is next to impossible because of the newly opened road. The traffic density is VERY LOW (highway with 1 car every 5 minutes or so) and there are absolutely no gas stations or any hitchhiking spots along the road, and the average speed is way too high to hh directly from the highway. Effectively this means you'll have to get a direct ride to the border from here.

Ask the drivers if they're going to Fuyun as most traffic will be heading off to the industrial districts just north of Urumqi. In Fuyun get off at the toll booths and you'll get a ride to your destination.

This is the official punto amarillo on the autopista nacional heading east, which means that you will find yourself in competition with lots of other (Cuban) hitchhikers. Cars are legally expected to stop, and you can raise your chances by waiving with 20 pesos bills (like most Cubans do). waiting time can vary between minutes and hours. to get to the punto amarillo, take the p7 from parque central, get out in san francisco de paula and either walk or take a ride along the primer anillo to the punto amarillo. when lost, ask cubans, everyone knows where the punto amarillo is.

Good place to go from Rio. Here are speed cameras, so cars go slowly. Went from here to Paraty and waited near 15-20 min.
To get here:
1. Take train from Central to Campo Grande
2. Then you need bus to Mangaratiba. Ask people, if possible. It goes not from Rodoviaria, but also near station. Yoou need go right and a bit forward from train station. Costs ~10$R

A good HHing spot if you are going to Veles and then to Greece, f.e. Thessaloniki. Good amount of cars, good visibility, lots of space for the people to stop and even a small market where drivers stop to shop for small things so you can go and talk straight to the drivers.
Take bus 65B from the Skopje central rail station and hop out somewhere close to this part of the city, after the gas station that you'll see on the left (it's marked as a HH spot 1km before this one).

January 2016: Although the B2 starts right next to Wittenberg's Old Town, it's nearly impossible to get a ride from there, as the driving speed starts already at 100km/h. There are not any crossings, roundabouts or bus stops where the drivers could possibly reduce the speed to pick you up. The first actual place where you could stand with your thumb up would be Eutzch, a little village 9km south from Wittenberg. You can walk there (it's a long walk and there's a sidewalk only in the first 5km) or take the bus 306, which runs from Wittenberg Hauptbahnhof once every hour.

BP service station. You might find it hard to get a lift here but in my eyes asking people here is your best bet to get a lift north or south - especially on a hot day when it is hard to stand next to the road. Because there is a lot of local traffic that goes nowhere, it might be worthwhile to sit in front of the station and look out for cars coming down the highway from the north. There is a good chance that they continue south.

In my opinion, is not a good place but is the only place close to the Seville for go to Huelva/Portugal. Is a trafficlight and is better if you can ask for go up to the cars.

The main road is very busy, but only very few cars actually hit the interstate. Besides, the police hassled me after 1 hour of intense thumbing. I gave up in the end. If you're trying to hitchhike out of Nashville, I recommend walking to entry 196. It's a long walk, but definitely worth it!

Very busy ramp, gas stations and restaurants all around. Apparently this ramp has been used by a lot of hitchhikers and tramps, as the guardrail is covered in signatures and hitchhiking tips by people who have tried there before. One even says that if you're hungry, you can walk to Waffle House and get a whole menu for free. 
I got a ride after 1 hour, and the driver even took me out for lunch.

If you're hitching out west out of Nashville, consider investing your time walking to this spot rather than thumbing on entries closer to the city center.

I'm From Brazil, got a ride from here in 10 minutes with a trucker to cuzco.
The only thing that i think is good to point is that, while i was there, an old man was by my side. He was desperated because i was hitchhiking, saying that it wasn't safe.
On the other hand, trucker said that that it was common for him to take hitchhickers there.
Take your on conclusions.
Mine is, i would do that again

To get in this place i asked a man on the street where was the road to cuzco and he indicated me a mini van that would take me here. it costs 0,60 cents.
Transportantion in Peru is extremely cheap.

If you want to hitchhike to Cuzco, first you need to go to Juliaca. It's unlikely that you'll get a ride direct to Cusco in Puno. Good news is, is not dificult to get to Juliaca. I got in this place by foot, it was a long way, if you can catch a mini van, i recommend, they only cost about 60 centimos (cents in peruvian money).
I got a ride to Juliaca in about 30 minutes in this place.

There's a gas station here, it isn't a very goo place to hitchhike but when i'm going from Rio de Janeiro to São Paulo this is where I hitchhike.
To get here you can take the train that goes to Japeri in the central station in Rio de Janeiro, it costs less than 4 reais.
You'll leave the train in queimados, after that you can walk for 30 minutes to this place or catch a bus. I prefer to walk.
Theres a gas station 5 Km ahead that is a great place to get rides with truckers, if someone ofers you a ride until there, acept it.
Other option is to go there by bus.

On the other hand, this is a police station, so the cars pass slowly and it's safe.
Luckly got a ride to the 381 road in 1hour.

IF YOU CAN, use a sign with the name of the place you intend to go, it may make easier to get a ride

may be a good place to go to Formiga, just walk a few meters to BR 0-50

Alright. We need to talk about this place, because you will eventually end up here, if you are heading North to South on the 40. One thing first: Most cars will head to the coast since they try to bypass the 100 km gravel road towards Tres Lagos. When I arrived I met another hitchhiker who already waited two days to get to Chalten and then decided to take the bus. I waited here from 12 pm til 8 pm, then headed to the free Municipal Camping. Next day from 5 am til 2pm no ride to Tres Lagos: Many cars stopped and told me they only went up to the estancia, but no way would continue on the 40. Eventually I gave up El Chalten and took a ride to Gallegos. It's a 400 km way, but you can get dropped of at the police post there and take the 5 towards El Calafate (another 300 km). That went incredibly quick. In Rio Gallegos I immediately got a car to Rio Turbio where I headed instead (El Calafate should be similarly easy). I know...it's 700 km, but better to drive for 6 or 7 hours than spending two days at this spot. If someone of you get's to this place...can you send me a picture of my nice poetry work on the Tres Lagos sign (obviously I almost went insane there :DDDD)

Take a Collectivo 15 to Tres Puentes (any cab with Tres Puentes or Zona Franca), the port (it costs 450 Pesos, less than a USD or Euro).

Then walk on the Ruta 9. It's by far not the best spot, but after a while you will manage to get a car to the police post or even to the bigger West/East road split. 

You might pay the Collectivo Taxi driver a bit more (like 1000 Pesos) to get you further. Tres Puentes is the last stop of the taxi, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

There's plenty of place to stop, but cars are quick, why I wouldn't necessarily walk further (unlikely to reach a calmer spot on foot).

It's easy to hitchhike North or West from anywhere along this stretch of road. Bus 14 (from Rustaeli metro) and marshrutkas 32 and 41 stop here, among many others. You need to be careful to get off the bus here (tell the driver!!) because if you miss the stop the bus turns around and, you'll have to cross the busy highway or walk 10 minutes north to an underpass. If you're going north towards Gudauri/Kazbegi and a car going West stops for you, it will be really helpful to ride about with them to the turnoff where the road splits towards Gudauri/Russian border. Many cars will drive away when you tell them you're going to Gudauri because they think they can't help you, so if you're not good at Russian, try to sign language that you want to go to the turnoff to Gudauri and have them take you there.

If you get a marshrutka to Carrefour, it's very easy to hitchhike north or east from just after the mall. There are a few spots with space for a car to pull over.

Last time I was there, a guy took 6 hitchhikers in his car and another car pulled over just behind him to take the other 2.

There is an equestrian statue on the roundbout which is quite funny.

I waited here at this gas station for about 5 minutes until someone stopped to pick me up. They had to pull over in the "no entry" gap of the gas station because by the time he noticed me there was nowhere else to stop. Luckily, there were no vehicles exiting the gas station at that time so there was space for him to stop there briefly. I would recommend standing further down the road from the gas station to hitchhike so that drivers have the time to see you and then make a decision to stop for you before they reach the point of no return! Cars are going by quite fast on this road so they have little time to make quit stopping decisions.

Actually a horrible spot, but the stoplight gives you enough time to let a decent length of cars see and consider stipping on the very short stretch of shoulder that's wide enough to stop. Got picked up by an ex grower who brought me back to his house and smoked me the fuck out with his family, of all things.

I'm surprised nobody has marked this spot. Anyway, I was going from Budapest to Brno, followed Hitchwiki, and tried to not get into the city. I asked my driver to stop at a gas station before Bratislava, and this was the first after the border (and it seems, if your driver is going to Bratislava, there is no other gas station.

Most drivers here don't go to CZ, but after 30 mins of asking a truck driver gave me a ride to Brno. It's a very good spot for Wien, Germany and East Slovakia (Nitra), but only a good spot for CZ. But still much better than going to the city and looking for a spot there

There's a service station and a Bob's in here. This is a good spot as it is already common among students from the Rural University of Rio de Janeiro to come and hitchhike in here towards Sao Paulo. You know, where people are used to see students hitchhiking is always a place with higher chances to get a ride.
To get here you can take the bus 193c from the central station in Rio de Janeiro and ask to get off at Bob's (if he/she doesn't know where it is, just say it's the next gas station after the toll booth in the exit of the city).

We decided to stop after the toll, the police station and the gas station to show that we were going to Pelotas. We waited for 40 min, and a truck stopped. The best day is saturday cause many people are going back to their home after a work week.

To get to this point, we took a bus to near Guaíba (R$ 7 - 2016) and they left us after the police station, in front of the gas station, where there is a bus stop.

As of May 2016 there's construction work going on at the roundabout. If you're heading towards Kraków or Czech Republic and don't want to enter the city, a good spot to get a ride to Bielany Wrocławskie is just where the lanes for the traffic from the roundabout and from the north merge. Not a lot of space, that's why I rate in only average, but due to the roadworks the cars drive slower. A police car passing didn't mind our presence there (we were wearing our reflective vests, might have helped). 10 minutes and we got a ride to Bielany.

Orebic to Trapanj: Not a very safe place to HH but since it's light with traffic flow is ok. Stood somewhat behind a guardrail en route to Trapanj to catch a ferry. Wait time 5 ish minutes. Very good HH experience with a friendly Croatian.

Ploce-Mostar: Got a ride leaving a ferry from Trapanj. I added this because of those going to Bosnia, this may be a good place to catch a ride. I looked out for BiH license plate, found a girl, asked her if she was going to Mostar and took me. We stopped at Medugorje too :) Give it a shot.

Blagaj-Mostar: Waited not even 20 seconds before a friendly Bosnian dude who happened to be a tour guide picked up me and a Jap traveler. Bus schedule sucks so HH was the way to go. Nice open area for cars to stop.

Relatively good spot if you want to travel in Maribor direction. Near the gas station and subway restaurant. Nice traffic but relatively small place to stop.

Good place to hitch west from Hualtulco (La Crucecita). There is a tope (speedbump) here so traffic is going slow, and also a big parking place. Opposite is the entrance to "Universidad del Mar"

Mostar-Jablanica: Open area right after streetlight. I was trying to walk a bit more north to the gas stating waiting to cross the street. Not even 5 seconds of waiting to cross, a older Bosnian driving from Split offered to drive me. Stopped for coffee along the way with beautiful views of the the river and mountains. This country is awesome! :)

Jablanica-Ostrozac: Sidewalk in the direction of Sarajevo opposite side of I guess apartments. Saw two HHers get picked up so claimed there spot. Waited no longer than 5 minutes and got a ride with a young friendly Bosnian. Plenty of cars headed for Sarajevo.

There is very little traffic at this border crossing, and it's difficult to get here. Most of the traffic into Romania is from Hungary to Arad, so unless you have a specific reason to enter from here, you better avoid. Hitchhiking after the border towards timisoara wasn't easy because of very little traffic. I was lucky the border police helped me and put me on a truck

This is a good spot if you are on this end of the city or you are dropped here. Plenty of space to stop after the roundabout, cars going slow. Still better tough to hitch before DEva towards the highway if you have the possibility to choose
