Quite a crazy bad spot for stopping. But lot's of cars going B7 direction Eisenach/Eschwege.
Maybe try to signal with a sign to the cars coming from the highway and the center to pick you up at the parking place south of the junction.

Even though it's a bus stop, it's not the best place for cars to stop because it's an infrastructural mess - an acceleration lane with a right turn in the middle of it. Thankfully, a person driving out of the gas station picked us up.

Hitchhiked from here after spending after deciding the petrol stations further north were too empty. When you come from the Ramersdorf junction, follow the path on the right hand side through the park and you'll come to this place. No fence to climb, decent traffic, and good area for cars to stop. Was picked up in 2 minutes, although maybe that was because everyone was in high spirit after Germany winning the World Cup.

There are good pullouts on either side of the road, but it is a slight bend so visibility is not the best. It might be the best way out of Quentar (why you are in Quentar in the first place is a mystery). Cars are speeding down the mountain, but I stood on the wrong side of the road so southbound traffic going around the bend had time to react to me. It's likely that most traffic south is going to Granada, so it's just a matter of willingness to pick up a hitch hiker. I wouldn't count on getting a long distance lift though. Got picked up by a cyclist going to Granada in 20 min.

If you're hitching East towards Guejar Sierra or the trailhead of Vereda de la Estrella, perhaps the most hiked trail in southern Spain, there are pullouts all alongside this road in that direction. I walked from where the road forks towards Pinos Genil while thumbing and got picked up from this spot in less than 20min. This area is small villages so the traffic is commuting villagers and vacationers to the Sierra Nevada mountains/nearby lake. Long rides probably aren't possible but rides east to the trailhead or west to Granada are likely. 

There is also an air conditioned bus that goes to Granada from this village (and also Guejar Sierra) approximately once an hour on non-weekends and holidays for no more than 1.7€

Toll gate - staff was a bit nervous of having a foreigner around, but overall ok spot to get a ride north towards Fuzhou (waiting time 1 hour). Bus 13 goes along Chenghua Rd and bypasses the toll gate. Catch the bus from the city center (old tow) on West Street close to the clock tower (bus 13 goes along part of West St., then along East St. and Donghu St. and on to Chenghua Rd - get off when you see the highway and the toll gate - easy!).

Hitching spot basically on the on-ramp to the highway. There's enough space for a car to pull over. Lot's of traffic. 20 minutes waiting time for a direct ride to Daejeon. Works best with a sign in Korean I guess. To get here take the metro to Yongsan station. From here it's only 300 meter to the highway. Simply walk up to the highway and hope for the best.

To get here take the metro (Line 14) to Yuanboyuan station (Garden Expo Park - Exit C). From here it's around 1.5 kilometer walk to Dujiakan Roundabout and the ramp-on to the highway, where there are the toll gates. Alternatively take any bus which goes along Yuanbo Ave. to

-> A4 / EAST (Dresden)
I got dropped off in this exact location by a local guy who always uses this place for hitchhiking himself.
Not a perfect place - the side of the road didn't seem wide enough for car to pull over at first glance, but as I didn't see a more suitable spot I stayed in this place, and eventually got a ride to Dresden.

The place itself is perfect - there's more than enough space for pulling over, and as it's the exit of one of the parking lots the cars aren't going fast. In addition, there's a traffic light!

Garmeh is a tiny oasis (i.e. no traffic, no cars), so be prepared to walk from here to the "main road" at Mehr Jan (12km away) where hitchhiking is indeed possible (personal experience: after walking for 45 minutes a car - the first! - passed and picked me up and gave me a lift to Bayazeh - a beautiful place btw.).

Nice spot for going south (Kristiansand).
This is a new (you won't find it on Google Street) roundabout exit towards Larvik (E18). We were 3 guys (!) and it took us only ~20min to catch a car.
I think it's better than the gas station if you're going south.
You can get to that spot going through the footbridge that you can find near the supermarket behind the gas station.

Almost every car goes to Italy. A czech couple gave us a lift to Trieste where we wanted to go. After you went down of the motorway, there is a table that shows: at right is Trieste.

From Firenze to Antella you can go with the bus 31-32. From Antella you can get to the other side of the motorway through the Autogrill bridge-restaurant/shop. There is good traffic. In every minutes at least one car goes back to the motorway. It's good, because there is a patrol station and a restaurant too. But one problem that almost in every car sat old Italian people who don't trust in strangers. Though we are a couple dressed well, nobody stopped us, and when we went to people to ask them, sometimes they lokked at us like we were the Satan. And when we just stayed at the end with the table, almost nobody smiled at us like in other countries. So we gave up after 3-4 hours.

We (a couple) wanted to go to Hungary. This motorway goes to Austria too, and it seemed more people went there. And on this spot also many people goes to the center, so it's around 15% of cars goes in the direction of Hungary. But the hope is that there is big traffic. When we were fed up, a very luxus car stopped for us and took us near to the border.

We hitchhiked to Prague from this spot. It tooked a 2 and half hour to stop a car went directly to Prague. Most cars are locals (who will not take you very far) or truckers (who can´t take you anyway) I think a better way to go to Prague is to hitchhike to the petrol station "Oberpfälzer Alb South" (use sign "Amberg") from here and then from the petrol station to Prague.

When you get of the highway the gas station on the left seems better than the one on the right (More traffic). But none the less it's a quite bad spot. Waited there for over an hour. No one was going our direction. After a while some young fella agreed to take us a bit further on our way :)

From Balintawak Station go down the clover intersection and walk pass the first road going right. Be careful as the traffic is dense and fast, also there are sometimes police under the bridge. Once you are there, people will stop for the crazy foreigner. Maybe you might have to wait long if the traffic is extra fast. In any case, be very very careful as the safety lane is narrow and there is a wall on the side of the road.

One of the better spots to hitchike North or South via A9 from Halle (I couldn't find a good spot....). Lots of cars in this spot, but it's not a good place to stop for cars and pick you up - you will have to wait for a driver who doesn't care that he basically blocks the freeway entrance ramp if he/she picks you up :) Anyways, it has always worked out!

Great place to stop, if you go further to South. There is a entrance to Autostrada, were cars must almost stop. Go very slow, see you from distance. And the point is Aciseble by Firence Public Traffic.

Realy not good place. Apering cars thees just chose witch cross the borders. So most of them are Full loaded by families. Standing there, for 3 hours, Hitchers before us also, end on sings or by the way are written messages from older Hitcher, witch stand there for 5hours. 
...
On the oposit way, If a car takes you there, you have high possibility to go straight to Slovakia, Czech, Poland or Germany.

Don't swim, its very dirty. All is practically a single huge parking lot. Huge, but spread out very much. No villages around, so that is the only chance to stop. Many cars going south, fewer north.

SUmer 2014, I hitched here from Storuman in only a few hours. Daytime, workday, female single traveller. Very easy. Plus the next day I hitched from Saxnäs to Klimpfjäll and back, even to Fatmomakke and back. No problem to get rides. The locals are kind and people know there are almost no busses going. Friendly folks in northern sweden countryside. On a sunday, I hitched back to VIlhelmina. Pretty difficult as not many cars and the ones which came were full. Normal on sunday when they do their family trips. In winter: I was told Klimpfjäll has  winter tourism so it might be possible. I don't think the area is big. Plus the houses around this area are mostly summerhouses. Keep that in mind.

If hitching south: along the road, just before the crossroads north of it, is an information table, space to stop there. the restaurants quite busy.. If you are going West, AC1067 to Kultsjö.. difficult to stand along the road. I simply walked to the village of Lövliden and stood near the camping place. Waited ca 40mins for aloft.

Going to Arvidsjaure: Got stranded there, female single traveler, good weather conditions on weekday, 14.AUG!! Be careful. The cars which pass, drive at over 100 speed or more often. (Speedcontrol is inexistent in the north). Many cars come to Jörn and turn left into the village here. If you want to hitch to Skeleftea its surely a good place. If you hitch to Arvidsjaure, its the worst thing you can do. Then walk to the last exit further north. Its very far. Asking a local in the village might help. There is a busstop in the village, busses come 2 or 3 times a DAY! there is also a train station. For hitching I would suggest you ask to get driven to the next exit.

I haven't tried to hitchhike here yet, I'm just adding this spot because there's not one in Keterminde yet. This was a suggestion of a friend who is from Keterminde and he said this spot looks good for hitchhiking as both the cars coming from inside of Keterminde or from the North of the island (generally they come through Nordre Ringevej) are passing towards Odense.

I was coming from Copenhagen and I got dropped off here by a couple coming to Munkebo. There's a bus stop here, then I just lifted my sign saying "Odense" and in 4 minutes a woman picked me up to Odense downtown. It was a Saturday evening, and still there was some traffic.

I don't remember how long we've been waiting here, but I stood in this side of the road and my friend in the other side at Lendemark Hovedgade street as we weren't sure what where would be better to hitchhike towards Odense. A guy stopped in my side at Kostervej and drove us to Koge. An old man passed by me cycling and started to tell me that it is forbidden to hitchhike in Denmark (hahaha), but I just said it's not and he went away. (And no, it's not forbidden if you're not on the highways and there's place for the cars to stop safely!) 
There's a bus stop here.

Bus stop "Caspar-Voght-Straße". Same cars as at the bus stop "BAB Auffahrt Horn" a bit further down the road (just in front of the "Horner Kreisel"). Only difference is that it is a bit closer to S-Bahn station "Hasselbrook" and that cars potentially drive a bit slower here because there is a red light.

From Bodö to Fauske or Kystriksvegn 17. Get the local train to Mörkved or local bus (i think it was 1 or 2 but do double-check) . The university is near so if you ask near university Mörkved its fine. Find a place near the road, there are many busstops along the road. But I advice you to get here first instead of wasting loads of time further into the centre. I got a lift to Löding pretty easily.

We got out of the previous car here at the OMV, we tried to hitch for like 5 mins and saw that its a very bad place. So we tried to walk around in Coburg looking for a better place but we didnt really find one, so after a couple hours we came back. We waited there from 11pm to 2.30 am at the night in time of the Samba Festival in Coburg. It was cold and dark, all people went to the festival. It was a very bad place, because there is almost no traffic in the A73 motorway. Do NOT hitchhike to Coburg if you can!

If you want to go to Rijeka you might want to consider taking a lift to the Postonja exit 2 km further, and then hitching on the 6. Most people go only to Postonja or further down the A1 to Koper. We waited a few hours at this gas station, and then decided to get to the exit, which took us a few minutes since we just asked people (literally everyone has to pass this exit). You might have more luck there (we did), though there is no shelter in case of bad weather.

apparantly there are some conductors who don't check for tickets and if you're lucky enough (like i was) they'll let you on for a few stops. I don't know if this way is reproducable, but it happened to me...
The situtation was - the guy at the counter told me the train was free, he either knew that the conductor was not strict or the fact the train had to change locomotives was the thing.

If you ever get stucked in Mellendorf and you want to go west you better wait at this very spot and not at the nearby gas station. At the gas station there are mostly locals who commute between the city and their homes, at the given spot there are soldiers passing from the close military bases and some of them go with their private cars onto the a2

This is a meeting place for gay men. Cars are there, but mostly locals. Note that most cars coming from east on A6 going north onto A61 or west onto A6 don't use this part of A6 and use the A61 between Hockenheim and Frankenthal, instead. They save approx. 2 km by that.

After the officers disappeared, we hitched a ride within 30 minutes.

Most probably we just had pure luck, but we (1 girl+1guy) hitched a direct ride to Bilbao from here, holding a sign "Pamplona". The traffic is very small but there are quite a lot of tourists in this area, therefore it can work. Worst case, the scenery is beautiful! :)

Cars coming from 2 directions here are heading to the west on A-8. There's even parking spaces, unless occupied. Not the best place for hitchhiking, make sure you have a very clear sign and smile :) there's a bakery somewhere around which threw away at least 10-15 baguettes right when we were there (free food!) to the rubbish bin on the corner.

If you're hitchhiking to Santander/Bilbao, make sure to stand HERE and not on the much smaller CA-141, which noones uses for bigger distances. We made this mistake and waited hours on CA-141, until someone told us to wait here. Here we got a ride within 30 minutes to Santander. Lot of tourists come here because of the big beach. Supermarket on the corner.

Hitchhike here if you want to head to the west on the A-8. Just after the bridge there's a small space for the cars to pull off and stop. Perfect for short distances, can work for bigger ones as well (depends on the season). Use the rush-hours in the morning and early-afternoon.

This is where many truck drivers pass by, between town and the parking lot. Just hanging around here for a while, talking to the drivers (especially those who are alone) in some basic French should secure you a ride. However, many people only leave the following day or hours later, so this is the option for laid-back hitchhikers. If you are more in a hurry, follow the instructions for asking drivers in the terminal.

If you are traveling from Kiev to Chernigov or Belarus and you stopped in Brovary - you need to go to this place to go further. You need to get to the mall Terminal and pass it to the side out of town, there is a wide shoulder and is easy to catch the car. Also you can take the bus to this place from Kiev, so you will save time, since in Kiev is very difficult to catch the car. Just ask the bus drivers whether they should go to the shopping center Terminal.

Bus stop "Skansen" in Swarzędz just at the side of the busy 92 road leading to Września and further to Warsaw. Many people heading for Warsaw use this road as it leads straight from the centre and is toll-free. There is a frequent 401 bus going there from Śródka Dworzec in Poznań, costing just 2.60 PLN (9.2014). The spot is just after street lights, so cars regularly stop there and the speed limit is 50 km/h so they have enough time to react and stop.

Not a hitching spot, but a great place to have a hike (around 2-3 hours, and beautiful).

As you walk down the tall metal stairs and keep heading south and south, finding your way through all of the paths, stick to the river banks, walk around the whirlpool, mind snakes on the way, then on the last stretch the path disappears, but if you keep walking south parallel to the river bank, making your way safe through the forest, you will shortly (maybe half a km after the end of the path, I don't remember that well now) arrive near a fence that surrounds a touristy boardwalk. After you climb over it (low fence and there's no one checking, just quite a lot of tourist), walk south on the boardwalk and you'll arrive at an elevator that can take you up to the city.

Pretty much the end of the town. A lot of tourists in RVs, but I don't have great experiences with them, it's harder to hitch a ride. After traffic lights cars are slow, drivers can see you and there's place to pull over.

However since tourists in RVs are not likely to pick you up, you can spend several hours here and I strongly recommend trying to talk to some people at gas stations, fast foods, etc. It's much easier.

Spot outside the city on the road towards the border. Bus No. 16 goes there from the big bus stand north of Tekke Basar (remember to get off the bus when the bus turns right from the main road). From here it's a five minute drive or maybe a 30 minute walk to the first border checkpoint, where you'll need to take the shuttle bus.

Toll gate - excellent hitchhiking spot. To get there take a city bus to the airport and walk from there (bus 77 from Khordat Square - one block south of Basij metro station - goes to the airport. From the terminal walk back to the "arty" main gate and turn left and follow the road. It's 500 meter to the highway and another 15 minutes walk south on the highway until the toll gate)

To get here take a savari (700 Toman in October 2014) from Enqelab Square to the "Terminal" and walk for 100 meters or so. There's not that much space for cars to pull over, but as there's not too much traffic this is not an issue. Make sure the ride is for free, as taxi drivers from the nearby terminal might also stop for you.

Walking along the 322 from Valsøybotn after hiking in the mountains from Vinjeøra onwards for a number of days. It was getting dark and with not the most suitable of places to put the tent, the thumb felt restless and found himself a ride within seconds by the first car going past.

A fairly grievous encounter with the elements. Tried to hitch as it was getting dark, with around 5 degrees Celsius and pouring rain. Very wet and cold thumb!!! Had to abort mission after an hour of attempting and head to base camp (the tent) for the night. Everybody seemed to be in a rush (something to do with Friday night?) What a relief the next morning when the sun was out. Much better circumstances. Waiting time the next morning was about 25 minutes.

Hitchhiked with a local man heading north to Taba on his pick up truck with his two sons in the back. We couldn't communicate in language and the two boys wanted to give me all sorts of possessions of theirs for me to take. I gave them little funky wire men in return. I wanted to give their father some spare cash in return when he fuelled the car and he graciously refused over and over. Extremely kind and generous people. Simple human to human connection.

Get here taking bus number 5 from Ede centre and getting off just after you pass the freeway. Bus 85 could work too but longer walk.

This is the only spot I've found where drivers go in the direction of Tavannes. It's not the perfect spot, but it should suffice in case there is not much people at McDonald's.

Make sure you stand just before the sign with the highway logo on it. Here is should be legal. Might be a bit tricky for people to pull over but they have the side track and some space. Also they should be driving slowly when they're approaching to take the turn.

There is a gas station. It is not very big, but you can definitely get a ride till the next bigger one.
It is easy to get there with a bus, it takes, however, a lot of time (around an hour ride).

Check google maps to be sure where to take the bus, and if the route still exists. Ask the driver for Rodoviaria Fernão Dias_ it is the motorway going direction Belo Horizonte. The busses bring you very close to the motorway, and then you have 3 minutes walk till the gas station. You will have to cross the motorway over the bridge.

There you can ask drivers. There are very few cars going to Minas Gerais, but a lot of those driving at least till Atibaia. Before the cross with rodoviaria Dom Pedro I there comes a Petrobras gas station with "Frango Asado" restaurant. There is more traffic, and lots of people travelling to Minas Gerais stop to eat there.

On-ramp 26 Heerenveen-West, A7 direction Groningen/Leeuwarden/(Zwolle).

No hard shoulder, but slow traffic so people will stop. Not a good one for direction Zwolle, almost nobody for that direction drives on here. Other directions fine.

PETROL STATION on both sides of A8 (connected by pedestrian tunnel) - BADLY PINNED! it's
2km from Gazzada-Schianno train station (5 min from Varese, about 1 hour 10 from Milano Porta Garibaldi station, 5.30€). 
From Gazzada station, make your way to via Roma (it's 200m, ask locals) and then walk it heading south = downhill! after few roundabouts, when houses and warehouses are finished, 500m after the BRUNELLO village sign, you'll find the entrance to the petrol station on your right - and you'll be on the side headed to Varese and Switzerland.
Decent amount of cars stop here but Varese people are quite suspitious - took me more than one hour both the times I started from there, both times I was directed south O_O
good luck! :-)

Isthmus of Korinth/Canal of Korinth.
Good spot to visit the Canal of Korinth. Lot of traffic going to Athens and Patras .Seems as if a lot of cars/trucks leave the motorway (which is just a few hundred meters south of here) to avoid the toll gates.The Goody's restaurant has free WiFi and is open till midnight. They told me that I can sleep on the nearby playground.

I took the bus to Vogosca (leaves from downtown.) From the old town walk west along the main road until you come to a little mosque on the left hand side of the road. Turn right and walk a kilometer or so (past the park) until you see a big bus pullup with several cigarette shops. Take bus to end and walk along the road until the toll booths. Hitch from there. It took 10 minutes and I got a ride directly to Zagreb. Very big shoulder and slow cars.

Bus nach Vogosca von der west-seite von der stadt.. mit dem bus bis zur letzen haltestelle fahren, aussteigen und der strasse bis zur autobahn entlanglaufen.

Pretty good spot if you were on your way from Halifax to New Brunswick etc. or towards Cape Breton, and the driver was not going the same way. The intersection itself, between highways 102 and 104, is very busy and cars are going quite fast, so it might be better to stay here. There's a traffic circle in the junction, so cars are going fairly slow, and there's a good place to stop. There's also a gas station with toilets and a convenience store, and a Tim Horton's for free wifi.

At the border crossing, the border guards didn't allow me to try to hitch into the US on the interstate, or to walk on it. They insisted (nicely and politely, I should say) that I had to take a taxi to the Irving fuel station that is about 5km further, which is a pretty good hitching spot. The taxi was 7$, and it turns out that crossing on a land border costs 6$ (as of October 2014).

Seemed like a good spot to get on the I-40W. There's a big truck stop, plenty of cars, a not-too-bad on-ramp right after a traffic light, so cars are not going by too fast. But I got stuck here for a long time. Now I checked and I see there's a prison in Marion. Maybe that's why nobody stopped...
Standing in the on-ramp didn't work for me, as it's a bit hard for trucks to stop over there. After a few hours I moved to the exit of the truck stop with a sign, and that worked after 25 minutes or so.

Many different options to try here, but not very quick (direction Münster). You can try talking to people at the Aral service station, but many of them will be local traffic. Also, the Dutch cars all seemed pretty senseless, as the only reason for them to go there was for cheap gas, after which they would drive back to The Netherlands.

I eventually got a ride to Münster after about 1,5 hours standing next to the B67 close to the traffic lights (not at the exit/onramp, but the crossing of Bocholter Strasse/Im Geer). People are driving slowly because of the lights and there is a reasonably sized hard shoulder for them to stop on. All in all a pretty decent spot, but with a lot of local traffic.

Getting from here to the center of Geneva is quite easy, possibly faster (and cheaper) than the 13 minute train ride. Stand on the separator/sidewalk between the parking and the road, lots of people drive slowly here because of the flow of the traffic. Some drivers will go through the center of Geneva, however all of them will at least leave you at the tram stop (only a few stops to the train station with hardly ever any controls). Great for people who drive through Geneva and don't have the time to go to the center - however this isn't a good spot to go anywhere further than inside Geneva.

A spot to stand by the road that leads up to the ramp to the highway which is going south towards Malmö. There is both time and a little space where cars can pull in and pick you up. Have a sign!

The main advantage of this spot is an easy way of getting there from the city – you can take metro to the station Lomsko Shosse and walk from it just a few meters to pass the public bus stop. From here you can try to get direction for Montana, as I did. But take into account that the road goes through the mountain pass about 1550 meters high, so even though the distance is not very large, it will take more time than could be expected at first.

Desk TIMS. This position receives truck toward the Northeast, Southeast, South and other regions of Brazil.

To get at the gas station: If you are in the city of Serra should go to the Terminal de Carapina and take the bus 540 (Terminal de Campo Grande) and ask to get off at Gas Station TIMS.

If in Cariacica or Viana you should go to the Terminal de Campo Grande and take the bus 540 (Terminal de Carapina).

If you are on another City of Grande Vitória Region (Vila Velha and Vitória) just go to Terminal de Carapina and take the bus mentioned above.

August 2014. There were some construction works going on that were making a big traffic jam. In this spot though, although not the safest, in this case, the traffic was getting smoother, and so plenty of cars at a not very high speed were coming. In 10 minutes we got an awesome ride of a cool Norwegian guy.
Good deal of margin space for the cars to stop, good visibility, there's a lane for cars to turn left, which should make cars go slower.

Good option if you are heading to France since a lot of trucks go there. Got a lift to Nice in 20min, just had to wait the truck leaves (1more hour). You should directly go to talk with drivers.
But most of cars who stop there seem to go to Barcelona.

If you are going to the direction of Ales, it is pretty cool to go to this place. There is red light, and when cars are stopped, go along the line with your cartoon "Ales". Took me less than 10min. You can walk from the highway to this place.

Be aware to hitchhike on the D998 in the direction of Florac during the high season. I did it on December and it was very easy to get a lift to Vialas, then 2 cars passed in 2hours, I was desesparately walking when the post driver picked me up, he said: "It is forbidden to picked you up, but if I dont, you will walk the next 30km" :) Anyway amazing lanscape, amazing road!

If you are going to Millau, it is much easier to go up North in the direction of Mendes, and then take the highway with "Millau" cartoon than trying to cross all the Gorges du Tarne.

I've hitched from here twice, both southbound across the M42 to M5. The first time we got stuck for several hours and had to start approaching people as night was drawing in. We made it eventually. The second time I got a quick pickup here BUT misheard the guy and got dropped halfway along M42. Bad move - got really stuck. In my experience M42 south is quite sticky so try to do it in one ride if at all possible. If you're just heading down the M1 though, you'll be fine from here.

A good spot for hitching up the M1 north or across the M42. Stood here 20 minutes, got a nice lift all the way to Nottingham. It took me a minute to figure out the right spot but I opted for the place where cars are coming out of the car park, pausing before turning right towards exit / filling station. You get a good flow of traffic and they are nice and slow, with space to pull in.

Not a bad place if you find yourself in Monmouthshire heading north for the M50 or M5. Expect to wait an hour or so as traffic doesn't exactly flood through these services, but there's plenty of room to stand and you're just as likely to get a trucker as a car driver. In my experience, way better to go from here than Monmouth.

If you're hitching the A40, avoid having to stand in Monmouth if you possibly can. The road layout makes no sense - a dual carriageway with almost nowhere for cars to stop. If you have to go from Monmouth though, this is the only place I've had any luck. The southbound route is a little easier as the small exit for Old Dixton Road is pretty quiet and acts as a pull-in for cars. Northbound looks hard - not done this direction myself as I now avoid Monmouth like the plague.

Horrendous place to hitch from. Don't let them drop you here if you have any choice in the matter! The Coldra interchange can be fast, with really limited stopping places, and half of the drivers are already confused and intimidated by the weird new double-roundabout road layout. If you have to go from here, probably best to stand near the lights and hope someone takes pity on you. You could be in for a wait. Maybe also try going from Ringland Way (pink road to the south) but don't count on it - we had no luck there. Or if you're going West along the M4 (to Cardiff or further) maybe hitch into the centre of Newport and walk out to the Tredegar Park Roundabout (junction 28) where you can get M4 or A48 traffic. It's better than here.

Only tackled the A120 once, and it has put me off for life. We got the ferry into Harwich around mid-afternoon. Tried several spots from the harbour onto the A120, eventually just walked with our thumbs out and a sign on our backs. No luck. This was August, but long summer evenings or not, eventually it got dark. We camped out in a hedge. It took us another 4 hours the next day before we got our first lift. My map still has a big 'NO!' written next to Harwich, in case I ever forget.

No primeiro levantar de dedos, elas conseguiram carona com um caminhao e eu, depois de meia hora, consegui com uma familia...direto para Santiago.

Este ponto de carona é uma boa porque fica perto de duas estradas a BR277 que liga o litoral do Paraná ao Paraguay, e a BR116 principal rodovia brasileira.

O ponto no mapa não está exatamente no lugar certo, mas não é difícil chegar lá.

No terminal de São José pegue o ônibus BORDA DO CAMPO (R$2,95) e peça para descer na BR antes de  entrar em borda do campo, ou se preferir fique de olho no lado direito que tem um posto de saúde, assim que ver ele pode dar o sinal.
Descendo do ônibus mais ou menos de 1 Km a frente você vai encontrar dois grandes postos de gasolina (um em cada lado da pista) é tranquilo pegar carona lá.
Mas também se quando você descer do ônibus caminhar uns 2 Km para trás você vai ter um bom ponto de acesso a BR 116 , tem um bom acostamento, boa visibilidade, e passa bastante caminhão.

heard from locals you could hitch boats from this island. stayed for a week, swimming out to boats (cargo, yachts, launches, fish, etc) and didn't get any rides. had to hitch a small launch back to the coast to get to turbo. also sketchy island - before us last 2 people there had been journalists who were murdered (i was told). creepy place, there was a lady locked in her house, and we were told not to walk around too much. stayed with one very nice family in a little hut though. but still creepy… good experience

This spot is very difficult to reach (we were dropped off here from the airport), it's quite loud because it's next to the highway and it might not be ideal for drivers to make a stop. There is not a lot of cars coming from Nürtingen, but a lot of them coming from the other lane. It's possible for drivers to stop because the place you will be standing on is a reserved area for cars to pull over marked with white paint, but the problem is that the busy lane will have a lot of cars driving quite fast. All in all this spot should be used only in need.

We didn't have to wait for longer than 2 minutes, two other friends were also picked up immediately.

It's a petrol station inside the highway, it calls "Cantagallo". You can reach it from the city: take the bus 89 from "piazza malpighi" and stop in "S Biagio Micca". There is a little road under the bridge, follow it. It takes around 30 minutes to arrive inside from the city. You can go in both directions: to North it's good to go to Padova, Piacenza or enter in Bolonia; to south it's good to go to Florence.

Good spot. I arrived there with a truck and he enter in the warehouse of  El Corte Ingles, and here you can really found trucks that will go everywhere in Spain. Not a good spot if you are not traveling alone, because here there are just trucks!! If you don't find a lift you can always take the bus that stop there nearby, and with 3,60 euro you will arrive in Madrid!! Good luck!!

Here there is a traffic island after the roundabout just out of the parking. From 09:00 AM there are lot of people go VERY SLOWLY to work and all of cars see you. If you have to go to Carcassone, Narbonne, Barcellone or Montpelliere this is a good spot. I've waited 15-20min :)

C'è un piccolo spartitraffico giusto dopo la rotatoria dopo il parcheggio. Verso le 9 del mattino la gente va a lavorare e crea un tappo incredibile, il traffico rallenta tantissimo ed è pieno di macchine. Consigliato un cartello. Per andare a Carcassone, Narbonne, Montpellier o Barcellona si passa praticamente per forza da li. 15-20 minuti d'attesa

There is a bus stop on both sides of the road, however there is a nice lay-by on the south direction, where it's easy to get a ride (Done that 4 or 5 times, always quick). In my experience, the drivers are usually going towards Ilchester, not Langport. There's no lay-by here going towards Glastonbury. The traffic is fairly busy and thus drivers won't be very keen on stopping.

Easy to get to from the city center as opposed to the south exit. The northern exit is also easy to get to, just ask around for busses.
There is a steep roadside where you can put your backpack and it is in the shade during the afternoon. A panaderia is on this side of the road.
The acceleration lane could be a place where cars can stop to pick you up, trucks probably not.
Worth to try in order to get outside of the city.

Take the bus to Portes-de-Fribourg and stand just before the bridge that crosses the highway and leads to the traffic circle where people get on the highway.

The Khor Virap (Armenian: Խոր Վիրապ, meaning "deep pit" or "deep well") is an Armenian Apostolic Church monastery located in the Ararat plain in Armenia, near the border with Turkey, about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) south of Artashat, Ararat Province. The monastery was host to a theological seminary and was the residence of Armenian Catholicos.
Khor Virap's notability as a monastery and pilgrimage site is attributed to the fact that Grigor Lusavorich, who later became Saint Gregory the Illuminator, was initially imprisoned here for 14 years by King Tiridates III of Armenia. Saint Gregory subsequently became the king's religious mentor, and they led the proselytizing activity in the country. In the year 301, Armenia was the first country in the world to be declared a Christian nation. A chapel was initially built in 642 AD at the site of Kirat Virap by Nerses III the Builder as a mark of veneration to Saint Gregory. Over the centuries, it was repeatedly rebuilt. In 1662, the larger chapel known as the "St. Astvatsatsin" (Holy Mother of God) was built around the ruins of the old chapel, the monastery, the refectory and the cells of the monks. Now, regular Church services are held in this church. It is probably the most visited pilgrimage site in Armenia.

It's easy to get there. Just go to the last station of underground called Mlociny. Then take 114 towards Mlociny-UKSW. Get off at the Muzealna bus stop. Walk 150 m ahead towards Optima petrol station.

Ask drivers for a ride towards Plonsk(most of them go there) but not to the city - get out at the first petrol station after crossing Vistula river(Statoil). There You have only long distance rides - no local traffic:-)

In that way You can HH North despite weather and time (I did it during rain and even nights). Safe and fast!

Within the city, most people are likely to stay within the city. When you approach the end of the city, chances increase that somebody drives to Racha. Be aware, though, that this road is not really frequented. Once you are outside the city, cars are extremely likely to take you with them.

Try to get one at least to Las Vigas, where you can easily get on the paid (cuota) road and hitch from a tollbooth (caseta).

Along here there is a small shaded area and you may be able to wait under there as you hitch. 

This road leads to Pai and Mae Hong Son. If you are there in the morning, a ride will be no problem in a pick up truck.

Good spot on highway to start hitchhiking to BRNO/PRAHA direction. You can get there from SEKULE TRAIN STATION (by train from Bratislava). The fence arround the highway is not problem, you can easy find a hole in it. :) Restaurant/cafe is on the gas station.

In the wiki Grenzallee is mentioned but it seems really hard for the car to slow down and see you, so by walking through the highway (some part are kinda tricky) it's possible to reach this place. (if there are any other ways please add it). there is a red light on the bridge which is perfect place to hitch a ride!!

Hhiking out of Vienna towards South (Wr. Neustadt, Graz, Klagenfurth, Villach)
Much traffic, but less people drive out of vienna. Hhiking with sign does not work very good. Just ask people at the gas station.
We needed ten minutes for getting a ride to the resting station at Wechsel.

Dresden can become a real challenge for those of us who are trying to get to Berlin from  Prague or vice versa. You need to be really lucky and positive to get a ride from here.

To get out of Dresden in direction to Berlin, you should definitely try this spot. You need to take a train from Dresden-Neustadt to Dresden-Trachau and to walk for 15 minutes (streets An der Durren Heide and Heulander Strase). There is a traffic light and cars come in waves. They can easily see you and it's easy to make eye contact with drivers. We got  a ride after 10 minutes.

3 directions from this spot : Nancy (A31), Dijon/Lyon (A31), Troyes/Paris (A5).
You need a sign to indicate the direction you want to go !
/!\\ Careful, do not indicate ""Paris", it can fear people that do not go into Paris, but of course they can drop you smwh before ! Prefer maybe a "Troyes/Ile de France" indication.

Decided not to go there because there are some very strict sounding signs warning against crossing over to the other side of the highway - if my Japanese is not mistaken, because of dangerous animals. So although this place is relatively accessible from Gifu, unless you don't mind some explicitly illegal fence jumping, probably don't try here.

オルヘイ修道院に行きたい場合は途中のジャンクションまで乗せてもらいそこから乗り換えましょう、僕は間違えて村まで行ってしまいました。

My ride from Amsterdam left me there. I got a ride to Rotterdam after 1h and something using the thumb. Even though a lot of cars pass by, I don't recomend.

Toll booth before A1, direction Porto and Lisbon. There's some space before the tolls, there are only two lanes, so they can easily change the lane they're on, even though the highest chances of getting a ride are from the drives coming from the direction of IC8 west who enter this part of the road just before the toll both = quite close to where you'll stand.

Big gas station just before the Hungary/Serbian border. The gas station has a lot of abandoned cars, so it looks like it's full, but in reality is totally empty and not so many cars stop here. I asked different polices in different times if I could walk from there to the border control. The first police said no, bu hours latter the second police said that I was allowed to walk on the grass just beside the road. Right before giving up at the gas station, a guy took me from here to Macedonia (FYRON)

Entrance to the high way. No police passed by me. There's a good place to stay on the junction of the road with the high way, it's a safe place with a place for a car to park.

First exit to thesaloniki coming from macedonia. Almost no car going south, just to thessaloniki. Almost no place for cars to stop, just the highway. Good luck going south.

Good spot in the direction of Profondeville and Dinant. Drivers can easily see you because there's a long strirpe where no car may get parked, just in front of the casino !

Good spot if you want to go to Namur. Cars can stop at the bus stop ... and much traffic all day long because of the Carrefour shop !

I can't say how good this place is, since I got picked up from a relative of a driver, who drove me earlier that day! Cars can stop next to the road on the green, but it might not be as intuitive, as for example a bus stop.

Cars are driving up to M11, loads of them, but really fast, eventhough some have to stop a traffic light quarter a mile before the little parking area. Parking Area is long enough for cars to slow down, though. Still had to wait a long time.

Not an optimal spot, I supposse, tried to move towards Leicester. Cars are driving fast, they can stop at the intersection with the Old Leicester Road, which is longer, than you might think looking at the map, but not as ideal, as a bus stop, for example. Took me a long time standing, but the first ride that stopped took me directly to Leicester.

Walked away from the airport, seeking the run up to M11 North, but this was the farthest I could get. Cars are driving fast, and are coming around the corner, they can stop on the green next to the road, but it's not as intuitive as for example a bus stop. Took a decent time to get a ride.

Stood there, trying to go north on the A10. There is no space for cars to stop, so I was hoping for the driver to turn into Vancouver Road, which eventually worked out. I did not see him, but he honked for me. He did have to make a u-turn for me, sth, which will decrease your chances. Not the best spot, took a decent time of waiting.

Eventhough, there is a McDonald's here, and a gas station, it took me two hours, on a late wednesday morning to get a ride north on the A10. Cars a are driving by fast, and there is loads of them. Technically conditions should be really good, but I had a tough time here.

Even just sitting making a sign I had 4 people come up to me offering money or food. Within 2 minutes of putting up a sign for Fargo I got a ride all the way to Billings, MT
