Early bird caught an enormous worm, got a ride not to Tornio or Haparanda but to GÄVLE 2 hours north of STOCKHOLM. Traffic lights just before this bus stop and a Shell gas station aswell. There is a bus from Oulu that stops at this bus station, highly recommend. A local suggested skipping Kemi and taking a ride all the way to Tornio, because many travel to Ikea Haparanda with an empty car and Kemi is nit very friendly for hitchhiking.

Perhaps bad timimg because not many cars were stopping in the morning. Safe spot amd slow cars though. When we changed "Solna" to "Upsala" we got a ride in 20 minutes. You can cross the bridge from the central Gävle side (local bus 2 & 4 to Höjersdal bus stop)

Ask for a bus to Ikea to reach close to here (bus stop: Stångjärnsgatan). Felt like the cars are too fast but in the other hand the curb on the side is wide and we got a ride in 15 minutes. We were on the verge of moving to the beginning of the previous roundabout where I think I saw a busstop. Will happily leave an analysis of that spot for another time. :)

After 2h30 a albanese took me to the border, but there is not a lot of car, and few of it cross the border (at least, a saturday evening). Some young albanian told me that i will never get a ride cause greeks dont take hitchhikers.

Just after the border you have plenty of space to hitchhike, and border officers dont care. But not many cars, and the main difficulty is to make a greek car stop for a hitchhiker. I tried without cardboard and after that with a cardboard for Thessaloniki (Selaniku in Albanian, and Θεσσαλονίκη in greek (good luck to write it, plan enough space). Finally after 3hours an Albanian took me. (an other car stopped before and was going in Athens but that was not my goal)

The way to this big petrol station in direction Santander: Go to the bus stop Los heros, from there cross the bridge, turn right and walk aprox 300m until you reach the high waltage mast on your right side (it's visible on the map). Turn right to it thru the grass, on your left is a fence - if you follow the fence - there is trodden path through the bushes - you will reach the petrol station over the exit to the highway easily in 3 minutes (with a bit of scratch legs - but we are not sissies right:D). This is the fastest way. Then took me 30min to catch a car but its about luck. It's most convenient spot to hh out of Bilbao.

Spent about half an hour here, a bit before the bus stop before someone stopped and took us to Bregenz. We had cardboard from before, but as they said on the stop opposite, you can probably get it from the gas station if open. There is also a (as of july 2023) unlocked dumpster in the back of it, so you could probably find there as well.

This spot had a surprising amount of people even at 8 pm. We had only asked a couple of drivers of we could hitch a ride to Dresden before we were approached and offered a ride. We saw a lot of families stopping here, so finding a ride as a pair could be more difficult.

As of July 2023 there's roadwork going on at the entrance to the gas station making it difficult for drivers to go here. I would strongly discourage going here unless you're trying to catch a ride with a truck of which there are still plenty.

We somehow ended up here after catching a ride from Dresden. There's a lot of local drivers, but also plenty of drivers turning on to the motorway towards Prague. I wouldn't go out of my way to end up here, but if you do then it shouldn't be too hard to catch a ride. We ended up with a ride to Brno after about 15 minutes, which I would assume to be a little faster than average at this spot.

We were here quite early in the day but the traffic was steady. I've hitchhiked from here twice, the first time I was picked up instantly for Bratislava, the second time we had to wait a little longer. If you ask the drivers stopping at the petrol station and the parking lot then it shouldn't be too hard to find a ride towards Bratislava.

Very busy gas station with lots of drivers going south, unfortunately many of them were family cars with no room for 2 travelers. Luckily we caught a ride to Budapest in about 30 minutes.
I suspect most people should be able to catch a ride from in within an hour by asking around, at least during day time.

Mostly local drivers here from what we saw. We were offered a ride to the roundabouts further south after assuring the driver that we had enough water to survive waiting in the summer heat.

I've waited here quite a few times. The "Blaffestoppested" (Hitchiking stop) is a new initiative but don't know many people who've actually hitched from here with success. I got a lift to Ringsted once after 80 minutes roughly (was going to Germany so not an ideal ride)
Usually I give up and go to the gas station, Danes in the city seem to be too polite to refuse a friendly request but also unaccustomed to pulling over for hitchikers.

Our previous ride dropped us off here since we were going in the direction of Sibiu. There's steady traffic but not a lot of room to stop. We found a ride after 5 minutes, but our driver told us the spot wasn't great. I would be cautious going here, but it seems decent.

The worst place on earth. After getting stuck here the night before we did eventually find a ride with a couple of Swiss people, but just getting here and the utter disappointment at continuously staring at the perpetually empty gas station was beyond demoralizing.

Good place is the bust stop where all the people crossing the bridge goes right. Between 3pm and 5pm it's verry easy. People comming back from their job.
If you go to Goteborg try to find someone that go north, AFTER MALMO is minimal, Helinborg IS even better.

We thought this roundabout exit would be perfect for all traffic, but there was no place to stop. I believe the part coming from Lomza could be good for stopping cars, but might as well do it closer to Lomza where you are less in the middle of nowhere (if you get the choice from your previous driver) our drivers continue to Szczuczyn, so we'll take the guess and follow them there to see if we can get to Elk

Stood on the opposite side of petrol station entry as the point shows. Lots of cars going both north and south, so you get a lot of smiles, shrugs, and pointing in opposite direction, but shade and close to petrol station so hitchability is good. Got a ride in the wrong direction (people walked up to us from behind, not having read the sign) after about 15 minutes, and then one in the right direction 15 minutes later. This was mid july, during high tourist season, so waiting times are probably longer when the city isn't swamped with campers.

Much trafic on Sunday 15:00.
In 20 minutes we (me and my girlfriend) got 3 rides by asking. To Frankfurt, to Heilbronn, to München.
All wanted to take a short break first so we got 3 offers in total. After a short break we took the one to Munich.

This is where you want to stand on this road. It has a pocket for the cars to stop, so they don't have to stop in the middle of the road. When you see the lamp post with hitchhiker graffiti and stickers on it, you know you're in the right spot ;)

Not a great spot for me. I started before the toll booth trying to get a ride to Berlin or Leipzig, and a service guy came out and escorted to the parking lot after the toll booth. This was very quiet, with only a few trucks around. Pretty frustrating, but I finally got a ride to a station near the border.

Waited 25min on a Thursday morning at 9AM. There is only one lane - stopping requires putting the car on the lawn, there is very little space. It's very understandable drivers are hesitant. It's not the safest spot. Mostly drivers are reasonably slow. My sign just said "A14"

My rating is for Prague - Wanted to go to Prague - was surprised by how little traffic there was at 11AM on a thursday. There were maybe 12 cars, maybe a new one every 5min. Became a bit quicker later. I tried for 90 minutes and then called a BlaBlacar. 
I could have gone with a czech trucker, but I was worried about the language barrier, and was not desperate enough yet. If I did it again, I'd go for truckers immediately and try to get to the rest stop Varvazov behind the czech border. 
More traffic to poland - but so often fully filled cars with either families or lots of stuff.

Gave it a try for 30min on a Thursday morning from 8 to 8:30 with a sign saying " A14 R. Dresd"  First I tried behind the crossing. I don't think it's such a good spot. Two columns come from the traffic light, only the ones on the right can really stop on the right side, left column is "stuck": there are cars to the right and behind. Not a relaxing position to pull over. I'd say about 40% non-local car plates. Visibility is there, but only for the first two rows of the cars waiting. Then I tried the bus stop. Green phases are mostly long enough to make eye contact with all the drivers - and enough time to make it in if you hurry. I got an offer to the highway by a man who'd then go straight ahead. Overall I didn't get a good feeling so I went to the highway onramp - took 23min for a ride from there.

On a Monday at 1200 I wanted to go north on A7 and waited 1h22 for a ride.There's hardly anyone going north, everybody is going to NRW or The Netherlands or Belgium. 
If it looks bad, you can also accept offers going south on A7 - and go 30min/50km to the next Serways, 'Ohrenbach West' and walk 2km from the west side of the serways to the east side, 'Ohrenbach Ost'. That would increase your travelling time by 1h20min.
I recommend being aggressive from the very beginning and having a backup option. With a little less luck this might have taken much longer.
If there is a smart way that utilises drivers continuing on A3 but eventually gets you north, that would be great. 
Or,  when coming from the southwest and wanting to go to Hanover/Hamburg, maybe consider the route via Leipzig and Magdeburg

Waited at the Station itself in the morning
it was pretty full with cars & trucks.
I mainly asked people tanking their cars and the ones at the e-car-charging-station!
After 10 minutes i got a ride offered to Brno (which i didnt take in the end), after another 20 mins I got a direct lift to Budapest!

Still a great spot to catch ride to Hungary, but remember, that around 2020 they opened new highway few km north. 
So over here there is less traffic, but still good.

It felt like a decent spot, even if it’s in the city centre. There’s a little used bus stop and a parking area in front of the sports centre for cars to pull to the side. Lots of traffic, but most of it is local. I got no luck (was trying to get to Santiago with a sign). In the end I decided to move and got a lift much faster from my second spot.

The roundabouts leading to the autovia and the nacionale feel a bit sketchy so I decided to come by this secondary roundabout. Cars pass very slowly and quite a few get on the motorway. There’s space to pull to the side. Someone stopped after 10min for me (was probably lucky) and took me for about 15min on the nacionale to the edge of Ourense but I didn’t have any luck at that second spot.

Got there from the city centre of Firenze. Took the Regionale 18664 and got off at Pratignone. Didn't buy a ticket although it's not much, 3-4 euros. Then it's a 20min walk from the train stop to the gas station. Italians are really sceptical and most don't speak english as it is the case in most of Italy. Fortunately we got a ride from a Czech family to Brno. Hitching back to Estonia.

I got dropped off here on my way to Poland. It was definitely not my preferred spot to hitchhike but after making a big sign and standing a few meters infront of the busstop a car took me straight to Poland. The cars do drive very fast there because its downhill, but there is a traffic light which sometimes slows them down.

Its a little bit difficult to reach this place, I take the metro B and in "Ramonville" I start walking in this direction. I saw one spot first, in the roundabout, but didnt like it, so i continue walking next to the road (its seems "dangerous" but is not). When ir reach the Peage, I ask there and they told me to wait on the right. I was with a sign to "Andorra" but if you go to Andorra you can try to use a sign to "foix" (The girls who catch me up didnt know where it was Andorra, they just stop and ask me). I wait for 45 minutes, lot of cars going, the peage make them stop a little bit. Good luck!

THREE SOLUTIONS:
1. Go at the entrance  of the highway and do classic hitchike
2 wait at the gasstation and ask everyone for lift. But there is not a lot of people.
3 go to the bus stop on the E4.  Nice long area for cars to stop but they ride very fast.
--> my solution: wait for a cars at the entrance 
of the highway. If a car leave the E4 from the opposite direction to go straight to the gasstation walk to them while they filling their cars, then ask for a ride, you have good chance that ther will go back on the E4 on your direction.

One guy from Switzerland saved us after 6 hours, he took us out of this Saami shithole back to Finland. However some people were offering us to ride with them to the north (Nordkapp) or Alta.

- One of the worst experience. At least stuff members on the gas station were nice and helpful. More than half of the cars were German Caravans or Norwegian in Teslas riding alone and no one stops, even during heavy rain, the evening in 8°C and same in the morning.

However we didn't wait too long and one car wanted to stop but continues to drive and then came back for us in 10 minutes.

Trying to go to Kiruna. First plan was going North on this crossroad. But not enough people (almost no one). So the easier was hitchiking all cars going North or east (back to E4).
A Guy from Luleo stop quick :)
--> then hé drop me in a gasstation a bit back south... Wish was a better plan than trying to hitchike in Ranea. No gas station... People does not stop there.

Kind of place where you can be a bit demanding on the destination. After 20 min i refuse 3 cars for overkalix and morjarv . After 30... Finally someone that was going to Kiruna ! I couldn't hope for more. You can also durectly ask at the gasstation but and find a car event faster, but for long distance like this i prefer someone that's really choose to take me.

Rest stop off the e6, toilets and shelter, also a bus stop in case you get very unlucky. I got lucky and the first people I asked gave me a ride to bognes ferry terminal. Not really anywhere to stand on E6 so only hope is to ask people who pull in.

Great spot if you want to get to Venice or in direction of Slovakia/Austria. Likewise for Milan, Trident. 
Incredibly bad spot if you want to get to Bologna and further - we had to spend the night. In terms of sleeping: I recommend going through a gate and turning left, there’s some bush - we set up a tent and spent a night there without any problem, and we used the toilet at the gas station during the morning. Station’s staff was nice and they didn’t cause any problem.

But if you’re going to Bologna etc, I recommend catching any hike in direction of Milano / Padua and getting into the next autogrill (gas station) between Venice and Padua - Ristop |Arino Ovest. Amazing spot to catch a long ride and it’s not that far!

It’s probably a great place if you're being left there by a car, at the gas station.
If you’re trying to get to it from outside, it is  NOT a safe place. Drivers are pretty much crazy here and the visibility is limited. The places mentioned before were repaired, probably, cause we decided that it’s too dangerous to try climbing that little wall on the left.

Quite good spot just before the tunnel leading to E40 towards Liège. Right side of the road was full of parked cars which made pulling over a bit more challenging. There's a traffic light just before and good visibility so drivers can see you from a far and can consider longer if light is red.

Big wide bus stop right in front of hospital, great for cars to pull over. Two cars stopped in the first 10 minutes, but were only going a few hundred meters, so may be a good place to get out of the city at least. A few cars slowed down to stare at us, then sped back up again. After almost an hour someone took us to our destination 20 min down the road.

Update 2023.

The ferry is free for walking passagers. 
You can also ask the drivers, there are many tourists returning to Europe from here, so you can catch some long rides. Payment is per car as of now (i think something like 600 NOK per car) doesnt matter how many passagers.

As most of the people go North.

I sir in front of the gasstation on the rocky pillars. There you can see the car comming from the right and then comming to you for gas. If there have place, i Ask for a ride, and i was sure there where going south, because thé one going North arrive in the gasstation straight and not by thé right).

11AM-1250PM on a Friday in August 2023. Tried to get to the ferry on Fehmarn. 
 
More Danes and Swedes than I could talk to. even two Norwegians. But 50-80% have either children in the back or are literally full with baggage. It seems so great with so many Scandinavians, but the baggage situation reduces the relevant options dramatically. 
Dutchies also present. Some traffic to Schwerin. Germans always say they're about to switch highways or get off at the next option, local traffic. Sooo many cars with bicycles and camping trailers. The frequency of cars arriving was very high. Obvs a good rest stop. 

I got a ride with a family going to Burg on Fehmarn after 110 minutes, from there there's a bus to the ferry, either X85 or 591. 

Hard to say whether to recommend this spot for the Fehmarn ferry. Had mixed results as a German asking Danish, some insisted theyd've taken me if the car wasn't full, others were not open at all. 

For strategy, keep in mind that people continuing on A1 can drop you off 10min from Lübeck train station. As of July 2023, there is a bus (X85) hourly from Lübeck to Puttgarden. so car rides to train stations in between are acceptable maybe, like Haffkrug, Großenbrode, Oldenburg, Fehmarn Burg.

I was here in August on a Friday at about 4PM. 10min for a ride to Glumslov rest stop north of Helsingborg. Austrian guy was visiting his girlfriend in Båsten. 
I think standing after the gas station is maybe better. I tried standing before, and it's mildly dangerous. Also, if a car goes to the gas station, you can't tell whether it's for you. Walking there and asking means you loose some cars.  The cars come out over the space of 5-10min, a constant stream. After the gas station, halting is not perfectly easy but doable.

 Arrived here in early August, on a Friday 20.00. tried for two hours then. No luck, low but reliable frequency. Mostly Swedes, and danish plus Germans. Went camping and tried in the morning. I hiked 2km away because of the highway noise, on the east side. Asking a farmer for a bed or barn crossed my mind. Crossing west is possible, there's an underpass if you go a little north.

Glumslöv 9AM Saturday.
30min for offer to Snapparp. in the meantime I got 2x Stockholm and 1 offer to Helsingborg. I talked to people at the gas station, but carried a sign saying "Norr på E6". Toilets are free and accessible until midnight I was told.

Tried for 12min on a saturday evening, 1930 in August. For direction south the waiting time is probably 2min. I was trying to go north. The frequency was 24 cars in 10minutes. I thought this spot would make more sense, since more parking lots feed into it than the one slightly more north on Tårnvegen at the onramp. I was there too and the frequency was noticeably less. 
It would be interesting if someone tried to get a ride north from here. A friend says from Espa (50km further north) you get rides to Trondheim. Maybe already also from here. 
The spot is decent, since cars just took a turn, they go slow and stopping is possible at the little path just behind the spot. Not good that you cannot talk to people. 
I wish I had tried more - i quit and took a ride to Skedsmokorset to try going north from there. Should have considered the Jessheim McDonalds maybe, that is closer.

Only one parking lot feeds into here as far as I can tell. That's fine if you wanna go to Oslo, since many cars go there. For going north this may be a problem. There is a speed bump, so cars have to go slower. And it is below a bridge, so you're safe from the rain. 
I tried for 10min on a saturday evening in August, 1900. The norwegian public holidays ended this weekend.

I only tried this spot for ten minutes because it was raining and people were hectic. Getting a ride to Oslo should be a guarantee, so many people go there.
Going north - not sure. I'm not sure how people behave that have parked their car here long-term and go home north. That's why I went to Roald Amundsens veg a bit south, where many people theoretically ought to come by when leaving the parking lot to go on E6. 
Not sure if people being picked up from friends/family that go north would get in here.

We waited here for 2 hours (2 other groups of hitchhikers waited for similar time) and didn’t get a ride so we changed the spot to one closer roundabout, definitely better.
A lot better of cars going to Poland and Czech Republic, but drivers not always so eager to take hitchhikers.

We waited for one hour here and few Polish people approached us but they were either full or going South, not in the direction of Poland. We got a lift to Brno in one hour, but I think, if you are lucky, you can get a ride a lot of quicker to Czech Republic or Poland.

If you’re going to Balaton, do not stop here. It’s an awful spot in this direction. We waited for more than three hours and we didn’t get a ride. Luckily a car carrier trailer stopped and the driver gave us a lift to a better stop in direction of Balaton (5 mins by car further South). Almost everyone stopping at this petrol station is going to Budapest, so this direction is probably better.

This is the place where they form the train towards to Nouadhibou. We came here around 12pm. Some people are gathering around passenger wagon. If you want to ride on the top of iron ore watching all the desert landscapes just move further and find a car that suits you. Train moved to Fedrick in 1,5h or so and also stopped there for around 30min, so we could change the car closer to the train head. The time might be different, so it's better to get here earlier. Make sure you bring warm clothes and something to cover yourself during the night since it might be cold, also take something to protect your eyes (we had a goggles), enough water and some snacks. The whole ride takes around 20h.

Hometown of UTCABETYAR. Two main roads (33,34) converge. There is a lamp. This is a bus stop. I prefer to walk to the end of the city towards Hortobágy, Debrecen.

It isn't the best spot- people weren't so happy to see us asking for a ride - but it's a MOP near main road that can take you near Ostrava, then to Olomouc and than to Brno. We met a cute, polish couple who took us because their destination was Czech Republic. There are clean toalets for free and a huge parking.

Very bad place, There is no bus stop anymore because of a new connection line to high way from Kaunas, so There are 3 lines and cars go pretty Fast. We moved 150 meteres away from this place in direct from Kaunas. There are barriers and a side line, which is free and good to stop for cars. We Made it with a guy right to Vilnius and He even took us around Trakai. But it was a big luck.

Getting here from the ferry is a hassle. Most people are local or driving north, I got a ride to Rostock central after half an hour by asking people at the gas station. If you want to hitchhike by sign/thumb its also possible, but you're probably better off just asking here, as there isn't that much traffic, and pulling over can be stressful here imo.

This (the bus stop in Muijala) is not a bad spot, but the traffic is low in the evening so after going Down the highway, we gave up and went to the bus station Back. From here it goes at least every Hour like 16.30,17.30,.. For like 19 e/person. Maybe it is more frequented in the morning.
Maybe i suggest staying here a little longer and wait for the one who goes to Turku directly. Don't Give up, it is like 1 out of 50 cars will stop.

Really hard place to get to by foot, but nice place to find a car going north, when you are there

You need to climb a couple fences to get here. When you arrive at Settebagni(possible to blackride bus from Rome), go north-east to the tip of the town, and cross through some allotments, to get to the little road leading to a bridge over the highway. On the other sode of the bridge there is a gate, but the fence is ripped open on the right. Go through there and turn right on to the field, and cross it, over to the fence alongside the road. Climb that and follow the highway for a hundred meters, and you’re there!
We wanted to go to Firenze, but i guy picked us up towards Terni, where we thought we could get a ride to Firenze, but found the truckstop there to be awful. If you’re going to Firenze or further north, wait for a car going there instead of a car going half the way!!

NOT as good of a spot as the reviews suggest. Last time we (2 girls) tried caching a ride to Poland from the other side - we waited for 5 or 6 hours - this time with the opposite direction it was way easier but still not ideal.

Bus stop next to the highway, there is also a gas station here. Speed limit increases from 60 to 100 km/h immediately after the bus stop, so choosing one or two bus stops earlier might be nicer for the cars to be slower (speed limit is 60 all throughout Kuivaniemi and there is a camera at one of the bus stops so cars actually go slowly) . But there is plenty of space to pull over, I got super lucky and after about 30 minutes a truck stopped for me and took me to Oulu. (Female, summer, daytime)

We were dropped at the service door. The driver told us that we could ring at the door, say that we were hitch-hiking and they would open the door.
We tried and were told it was forbidden to hitchhike on the highway.
So we walked a little past the toll to get to the end of the fence and walked back on the other side until we reached the toilet spot. There a truck driver saw us and offered a ride back to Rennes. So nice!

Hitchhiking is Dominicana's capital Santo Domingo is possible, but makes little sense, since the public transportation is so cheap. It is definitelly the hardest place in DR to hitchhike. If you want to get out of the city, i'd reccomend you going to the last metro station Maria Sanchez and than walk a bit to the gas station on a highway. The vast majority of cars stopping there will go to Piedra Blanca, Santiago de Los Caballeros, Puerto Plata and so. The other directions heading to the east are a bit harder. I reccomend you going on the edge of the city with some minibus and than just standing on the side of the highway. Dominicans are very welcoming to stop you and take you with them, usually without asking for any money (in 95% cases)

Avoid getting dropped in Weed if you can. This town doesn't live up to it's namesake. 
The locals aren't likely to offer a ride and most through traffic is going up hwy 97. You're still in for a long wait, but this ramp is slightly more likely to see through traffic than the other one.

There is space to pull over for the cars going off of the Tallink ferry. I got a ride to Riga quite quickly but I got the feeling that a lot of drivers going on the highway don't actually pass here. To get a ride it might be better to either choose the other spot that is marked on the map or to walk 200m further north to the junction there. (Female, daytime, summer)

I made the mistake of not asking for rides on the ferry. All traffic has to come through the ferry, meaning you have a shot at one boatload of cars every 45 mins. I got lucky and got a ride to Narvik, from the first ferry that came.

A few folks stopped, but they were pretty short rides. I got a few kick downs. Smokes and donuts. The ramp has a curb, but there is a wide shoulder on the highway. Although traffic is moving pretty quickly, and no one seemed to want to stop.

I left the spot because of construction. I agree, it seems like the other ramp in town may be better for both north and south bound traffic. Although if someone offers a ride out to Pleasant Valley (north), you could ask to get dropped off at the Manzanita rest stop, and try hitching from there. It's not far, but I wouldn't want to walk there.

Perhaps, it was my bad luck but I waited 30 minutes or more and then decided to walk to the ferry on foot. About at the half of the way I was eventually picked by a car going to ferry too. Tbh the traffic is pretty awful (about a car/2 mins) and most of them are full of people. P.S. perhaps someone will find this useful: the price for the ferry (09/23) is 4,3€ per person.

If you have crossed the sea by ferry you'd better try catch a car straight from the ferry. I didn't do that and walked all the way up on foot. When I came to the spot the ferry came back with new cars on board. So I had been waiting for about 10-15 minutes when one of the cars stopped. Then the driver lifted me to the Zagreb center. In conclusion, the spot really depends a lot on the timing when the ferry comes.

New favorite spot to leave Paris going to anywhere around Rouen, Caen, Mont Saint-Michel, Le Havre, etc... Red light just before the highway entrance with cars having to get passed Morainvilliers gas station on the highway. I tried twice and always got taken on the first try to the gas station. From here just follow gas stations on the highway on your path. Never had to wait more than 10 minutes usually making a stop at Bosgouet gas station right after Rouen to reach further in Normandie or even Saint Malo.
Really easy to reach by foot, take the train to Poissy then bus 12 and walk.

So this is the spot №1 from the "how to get out of Milan" guide. At least that's how I got here. The instructions were mostly clear and intuitive, though some things have already changed since the article was written. As such, for some reason the metro train wasn't going all the way to Cologno Nord station. Rather it stops at Cascina Gobba and from there you have to take a bus to the desired metro station. The ride was about 20 min long and I didn't even pay for it.
When I got to Cologno Nord I followed the instructions and walked for about half a mile in the northeast direction until I saw the big electricity pole. To get to it, I had to jump over a 2 meter wide trench (it's more convinient if you cross it at the car gate to your right). Then I had to make a jump over a yet another trench, this time just below the electricity pole. Though I found the doors to be closed with padlocks so I had to jump over the fence from where you can just casually walk downhill to the gas station.

Advice: watch out for the stingy bushes, wouldn't recommend going this way if you're wearing just shorts and a t-shirt (you're likely to scratch yourself badly due to the dense vegetation that stands in your way).

After I got to the station I got picked up pretty quickly. The driver gave me a lift all the way to Bergamo from where I went with another car to my destined city of Brescia.

I asked my ride to leave me here on my way from Milan to Brescia since I didn't want to enter Bergamo. I was surprised to see that many cars were passing through this gas station even on a Sunday night. 
Eventually got picked up all the way to Brescia relatively quickly. 

P.S. On this Autogrill I came upon a couple of foreign backpackers that were headed to Venezia. They were standing with a sign on the entrance to the gas station, which didn't bring them much success since I found actually asking the drivers in simple Italian way more profitable.

This looks to be the most obvious way to get out of Brescia and from here you can go to any direction you want. 
To get here you can just take a short walk from Volta metro. There will be a gas station and when you walk past it, you will come across a comfy side of the road that seems great for HH, at least in theory. In reality though, despite a decent amount of traffic, it can be extremely hard to stop anybody here (especially without a sign).
If you get frustrated after waiting for a long time, I can recommend checking out the two gas stations on either side of the roundabout for any cars that may potentially go in your desired direction.

I rate this spot 4/5 just because it is one of the very few ways to get out of Brescia.

P.S. I'm going to post other ways to HH out of the city after I've discovered them. Look for any recent updates

Most of the traffic after At Bashy is trucks heading to the Torugart pass.

Start your way early. There might be no cars at all afternoon, that was our case and we had to spent a night in Langar. 6-7am is a good time to start. Locals usually don't go to Murgab (super rare), but some of them go on 10-30-50km for a pasture. Most of the cars going to Murgab are tourists (probably a few per days). It's better to wait for a ride at least to Khargush, there is a military base and checkpoint. There is almost nothing else between and high opportunity to stuck in a middle of nowhere with no cars at all. However we relied on our luck, took a 10km ride out of Langar, walked a while and got a ride with a tourist directly to Murghab.

Went there at 16:00 on a Saturday, the traffic was decent, we got picked up by a taxi driver who was going to the airport to pick up somebody, that's also where we were dropped off.

Tolls. Awful spot, don't even consider getting on autostrada out of here. There's not only a guard's booth directed on the tolls but also police pass by here regularly. I was trying my luck here in the evening with a sign to Modena but the police patrol car saw me from the other side of the road and I was lucky enough they didn't notice the sign that I threw in the shadow right away. I ended up telling them that I'm waiting for a friend to pick me up so they just told me to move away from the road and wait there

A pretty nice restaurant + gas station that's perfect if you're going in the Eastern direction (Verona, Padova, Venezia, Udine and also Slovenia). Way harder to find anyone who would be going North to Trento. Also I found it quite tricky to get to Modena from here. I waited for a couple of hours and got tired after asking more than 100 different cars so I decied to go set up my hammock behind the gas station, oh how naive I was. There's NOTHING behind the gas station. Just some persimmon plantation, private property all over and a road leading to a ghost town. Though there is a nice restaurant 500 m away from the station (I asked for some food but they refused to give me any. Then the most beautiful waitress offered to buy me a pizza with her money but I gently refused <3) and a big truck parking where I made friends with some Slavic drivers and they gave me their food too.
After some time I lowered my demands and ened up going just below Mantova.

Nice little gas station with a pastry shop. Has very good traffic, most of which are Germans headed to the South of Italy.
It was late at night (around 2 am) when I got here and there was still some traffic. Here I charged up my phone and the worker lady gave me some delicious pizza for free after I asked if I could have some food. Ended up making friends with a Turkish truck driver who also fed me and gave me the upper bed in his truck to sleep.
In the morning I easuly found a ride in the direction of Firenze.

An extremely busy Autogrill! So many German cars going both North and South. For some reason though quite difficult to get to Bologna from here and close to IMPOSSIBLE to go East towards Rimini.
You can ask people directly where they're going or stand with a sign at the exit of the gas station (less effective).
According to my calculations the peak traffic was reached at 1 pm with an average of 60 cars passing in the Southern direction and 40 in the Northern (yes I spent the whole day here, it was this comfy + nice view).

The grocery shops on both sides of the road are so busy you can easily get away with taking any food/drinks and going upstairs with it to the restaurant (Didn't want to risk too much and only got 1 pack of chocolates 4 euro worth). 
Tablediving is indeed extraordinary here! Mostly due to presence of many wasteful Americans XD
Can't vote for the free showers though, doubt it's still a thing.

Not sure if you can camp nearby this place but there are some pretty thick trees at the boot of the hill (some fences have to be jumped over to get there).

Speed limit is 110 but you are visable from a good distance. There's a bus stop, so place to stop for drivers and shelter for you. More traffic than the onramp near the town

Oh damn was I lucky! I was going with a sign to Karlstad along the road and a van instantly stopped by. Took me almost directly to Stockholm! The place is overall pretty nice, a lot of space to pull over for the whole road + a bus stop. You will definitely get a ride here

Even though this point is recommended on HitchWiki, I'm not sure if it's a good one or not. I was standing here for more the an hour with the biggest KL (stand for Klagenfurt) sign in history of signs, and only one driver stopped, going to Maribor. Went with him coz I thought it might be an interesting place to see. It wasn't.

I went to the 7eleven bought a pen to write my sign and then got picked up by a nice guy after nearly 10 min. He took me to Takasaki city and dropped me off at a supermarket where I could walk up easily to a road headed towards the highway. The 7eleven was on road 291 and the speed limit was around 50km/hour or 70km/hour but people drove slow enough to read and react to the sign. It was on a Sunday maybe it won't matter to you but I have a better track of getting rides on a Sunday.

Onramp from Regensburg to autobahn. We were going in direction Munich, got picked up in less than 5 minutes. Cars coming slowly as they have to turn; there's no real place to pull over but they stop anyway, everyone in this area is very friendly and willing to help. We tried hitchhiking in other spots and many people stopped but nobody was going the right way; finally we got to this place and got a direct ride immediately.

Great spot for short distances and small towns like Bad Abbach; terrible for longer distances or the autobahn.
People are super friendly and many cars stopped, but we were going to Munich and didnt want to get stuck in a small town 5km down the road. Finally after an hour crossed the road and hitchhiked further into Regensburg to another spot where we got a ride straight to Munich in 5 minutes.

We took the ferry from Istanbul (Yenikapi) to Yalova to HH our way south. There is a big bus stop at this spot, so perfect for cars to pull over. Lots of traffic, but we (couple, late 20s) still had to wait an hour for the first car to stop. They took us all the way to Kusadasi, which is even further than we planned for the day (originally we planned to get to Izmir). PS: We used a sign saying Bursa/Izmir and we can't really tell whether it's better to have one or not

Perfect place. Lots of cars. Opportunity to shower, charge, camp. Nevertheless I waited about 1.5h ob Saturday evening then I decided to camp and on Sunday I waited again for like 2,5h but I didn’t talked to people. I don’t know but when there are to much people I don’t really feel like asking around. Got a few offers 10-30 Kilometers and after 2.5h I decided to take the next offer and ended on a small station 20 minutes away

Also paid for the passenger ticket (but you can ask arriving people for there return ticket). I went south and asked two groups if they can get me to the first gasstation around 18 km (54°22'57.3"N 11°05'37.9"E) and the second group agreed after a little bit of talking it turned out they go all the way to Hamburg so that was nice ;). When we went past the gas station I saw a lot of people from the ferry getting gas so I think it’s a good spot and it should be easier to get there when asking around on the ferry because it’s just a few minutes away and a lot the people on the ferry will pass this station.

There is a shoulder where cats can pull over. At first we (couple, late 20s) waited about 100m before that spot (in front of the A101 supermarket), but the cars go really fast, so they didn't have enough time to turn into the parking of the supermarket. A car finally stopped at the shoulder and we realised that (a) they stopped for us and (b) that the shoulder/bus stop would have been a much better place to HH from the very beginning. The two young guys took us almost until the Bafa Gölü lake, then tried to ask for a "road fee" with google translate but didn't persist when we said no. PS: we tried to do to Bodrum

To get there from Ioannina take bus number 5 from the station "Πλατεία (Προς ανατολή)" [Plateia (Pros Anatoli)], get off at "Κώστα Λιας" [Kosta Lias] and walk a bit to the spot. The bus 1,10 Euro. Lot of traffic, but to several directions, because it's not yet on the highway. But it's a good and safe spot for cars to stop. Take a sign that says where you want to go. I went to Igoumenitsa, was taken by a really nice man, who even invited me for lunch and coffee and made a detour to drop me off at the port.

I took the advice above and held up a sign with "outra margem" and got a ride over the bridge quickly.
however, make sure the driver can actually drop you off at the next gas station (seixal) and isn't just going to a small city after the bridge, because it will be hard to find a ride there(happened to me)

I got dropped of here because the driver wasn't going to the gas station. I stood I the small pavement piece between the streets. I held up a sign with "próxima estação da serviço" - next gas station and got a ride eventually but I wouldn't recommend this spot. the cars are kind of driving too fast to have time to read the sign and there isn't so much time for them to stop too.

Well, we wanted to go to france from trier so we decided to go to berchem by train and start our journey here since the reviews and everything looked great. And it is a great stop. BUT what surprised us - the bridge across the autobahn got demolished but is still shown on google maps. We discovered this when we got there (lol) and luckily they already built another one in sight, but we still had to walk about an hour more than planned. When we got to the station we had to cross/ get through 3 fences. That was not so hard since two of these were construction site fences, aka not permanent and relatively easy to get through. The next one was already torn down. But the last fence we had to climb over to finally get to the station. We picked the spot where the trucks are parking at the end of the station, i would say it is the best option to get to berchem. I dont know why they built these fences but you have to be physically fit to enter berchem from the outside. Getting there by car is no problem. Once we where there it was around 12:00, we found a lovely couple in around 30 minutes that took us to metz. We were two people and we had a sign. 

 Final conlusion: it is a great spot but you have to overcome some challenges to get there :)

Puma Gas Station where a lot of trucks stop before their night drive. 
Arrived here already at night, tried to hitchhike the trucks but most of them were going south. Still there were some going North, but I was not lucky.
After more than one hour, a family going to Rockhampton picked me up and drove me all the way to there.

Must be a really good spot if you're trying to pick up a Truck to Brisbane

This is a shortcut to go west (ClermontF, Bordeaux), so you don't have to reach Lyon if you're in Villefranche already. Ask to get dropped at péage de Tarare and get into highway. Firstly, i waited at the bus stop next to the roundabout, there's a vending machine. As i was alone and drivers have few seconds to see you, only one stopped within a hour. So i walked 200m towards the trees to get some shadow and a kind couple picked me up after 5'.

You can come here by bus 4 or 10 from the station, Parc Expo drop-off bus stop. I came here by bus 10 from Saint Sylvain d'Anjou, jumped onto the empty road linking the service stations on the bridge, waited 1.5 hour sitting behind truck parking where cars depart, gave up, took a train to avoid being late in Nantes.
 Drivers smiled and showed interest at picking up, however no one really even stopped. Despite my unlucky experience, it looks like a good spot, easier to reach than the toll in the west nearby Saint-Jean de Linières.

Used it two times with success, not a lot of space, but people often go to the border of Spain. My recommendation is to ask to drop you to the next highway rest area (Posto de Abastecimiento Cepsa A22 OLHÃO) if they just go to the border or not to your destination. People often rest here before going further into Spain

Didn't really like this spot.. cars can only stop in the emergency lane of the bridge, and 3 lanes with a lot of traffic to different directions going quite fast. After more than one hour didn't get a ride, but luckily I saw someone who stopped the car in the emergency lane of other bridge, and managed to get a ride out of the town...
Next time will probably try the truckstop in the entrance of the town

I regularly use this spot to go to Nantes and I never waited more than 10 minutes, even when once when we were a group of 3 people !

This spot was cursed. We were going to Nantes and we (2 groups of 2 people on 2 slightly different spots, one group at the exit of the roundabout to Nantes and the other at the junction to Nantes judt before) waited 3h until someone stopped and took us 4 somewhere between Vannes and Nante. So since each waited 3 hour on their own, we could consider that we waited 6h.

Used this spot alone before without problems, often got rides to Reims easily and quickly.

Tried it again with a friend recently and we were stuck there for 2 hours, as no one seemed to be going east. Lot of locals cars. Guess we were just out of luck that day. Ended up finding a ride to Metz after a little more than a 2h wait.

The way to get there is long, crossing the grown corn maze was not the easiest but still doable.

This is the best spot for HH direction Bulgaria !!! It's not another spot better than this in my own opinion! But I hitchhiked on Sunday, very lonely gas station!!! No cars !!! No trucks !! The best way to HH is to have a sing with ***Pirot*** or ***Dimitrovdgra***
HH to the border can be difficult!!! Because people is afraid about immigrants!! So, better if you look White person hahahaha I am from Colombia and I look very árabe sometimes, but still I am lucky.

The best advice is to HH from the entrance of the gas station, because also you can catch the cars who is passing on the highway, because if you stay inside the gas station! * without traffic* you can be there for hours !!! 

To arrive to this gas station you can take the bus Number 4 Ang get out 2 bus stops before the end. And then walk in the highway for 15 minutes and that is ! You will see, use Google maps ! Or just walk from the center if you are too backpacker. 

Remember that HH IS ABOUT LUCK!!!!

I waited all morning to get a ride to Porto. Asking people I got nothing. Bad place, because it's all locals.
At 16h a couple gave me a ride to another gas station in the A1 and from there it took me 5 minutes to get a ride directly to Porto!

I spent an hour and a half asking around at the gas station nearby trying to get onto A65 in the northern direction, but everyone was either on the way to the city or going south. Then decided to try this spot, which is right after the bakery with a sign that said "Neustadt" and got a lift within 15 minutes.

Not a review for a specific spot, but rather for the island of Zakynthos as a whole--easiest place to hitchhike I've ever been. We hitched all over the island for 4 days and never had to wait more than 5 minutes. Just start walking in the direction of your destination and when a car comes by, smile and put out your thumb, usually the first car would stop, especially on the small roads between villages. Don't wait at a spot, just start walking, as cars will stop anywhere, even on narrow curves. Good to know some Greek.

Avoid this place. I went there and waited few hours. After some time I realized it's a meeting place for gays.
That would explain why there were so many cars stopping for longer, no women in the car and no ride for me, as no one who goes further than Frankfurt stopped there. I was approached by several suspicious-looking people.

Don't get stuck here, its really rural and you have to hitchhike away from here. Don't be fooled by the bus stop, according to the guy who brought me there it is not operating anymore.

I had a sign with “ferry:)” got me a ride unto the ferry and then I found a truckdriver that went bear Brussels. The truckdrivers have a special section in the ferry, where I stood outside the door with a sign. It worked and seemed easy enough

Seemed like an awesome spot to get a ride across the channel. First car with a UK licence plate i asked agreed to take me with them on the euro train and half way to london. They have to add you on their ticket, but they can do that on their phone on the app where they have their ticket.

Stood with a sign for caen/rouen at the exit and it worked well! I tried walking around and asking but the place seemed to big and it was hard finding a central point to catch people. After 10 min with the sign i got a ride to the big gasstation after Caen

After 5 minutes, police came by the other side of the road (toll exit), set up their checkpoint and waved me to leave, pointing at the roundabout. In fact, there's no parking here and stopping is forbidden. As I moved to its opposite side (yellow indications to Spain) a guy at the lower boulangerie parking invited me to join him to Hendaye. You can be luckier than me and wait longer at pinpoint to get a ride to Spain. However, don't come here if you're in Biarritz already. Go to Bayonne toll or next ones southwards.
If you're in the highway, read green pins instead.

I've used this spot twice, both on a Saturday morning. You can very easily catch a ride to Burtonwood services from here, or all the way to Liverpool or Manchester. Recommend a sign saying M62, and either Liverpool or Manchester, but if you're going to Manchester and get offered a right to Burtonwood services take it, you can get to Manchester quite easily from there.

We were three coloured and entertaining souls who met in Leon on the way to Chaves Portugal. We walked from the center, shopped at Lidl which opens 9am, waited almost 2 hours with a sign "Benavente".
Drivers smiled and waved a lot. Police came by the parallel street and warned "you can't stay here, walk back before the roundabout". After 3 minutes a young guy picked us up and drove us much much much out of his way to Puebla de Sanabria, where PB gas station and restaurant 24/7 is saving us from the rain.

I waited here hoping to go in the direction of Bordeaux. I had a sign and most people signed to me that they were going in the opposite direction towards saint jean de luz. So if you aren’t going towards there don’t bother to try this spot to go north. Try the main peage nearby instead.

Perfect spot right next to the border. Fany french people come to this gas station cause it's cheaper than in France, so it's easy to find rides to France. Also there are mant cars heading towards Spain and I got rides to Valladomid and Soria from here just by talking to drivers

If you end up near paimo like me (the first lift couldn't take me further) this Petrol station is quite a good spot to get further. There was not a lot of traffic when I was there, but it's near the highway and a lot of the cars are going to Helsinki. You just have to ask the drivers directly, I think just standing there with a sign would take quite long since it's not a very bis petrol station. I got lucky and the first person I asked took me to Helsinki :)
I General not the best spot, but if a previous lift can't take you any further I would suggest asking them to let you out here

My last ride let me out at this petrol station since he couldn't take me any further. So I don't know if it's easy to reach by foot, but I just asked drivers here and the first person took me directly to the hill of crosses :) so if you end up here I would just recommend asking the drivers, I don't think just standing there with a sign is effective..
If you start hitchhiking from joniskis I don't think this spot is ideal (there are probably others that make way more sense) but if you get out here it's quite easy to find the next ride :)

The free bus to maxima isn't running anymore, I just took a regular bus to "Gariunai" station for 0,90€ and walked the rest of the way (which is a great option, there is a footpath next to the highway and you don't have to cross it, so it's really safe this way!). When I reached it I got a lift to Kaunas after just 5 minutes, so this is a really good spot, even though the cars are driving quite fast and there are already multiple lanes. But the cars can easily see you, and there is enough space to stop at the whole exit lane without bringing anyone in danger. If nothing else works you can always just ask the drivers that are doing a break here anyway. I can recommend this spot!

There was very little traffic when I was there, so I waited about 45 minutes until I got a ride to Krakow. The spot is not ideal, since it's directly at the entrance to the highway but I think this is the only spot that makes sense. Cars from both directions can see you, so you can catch really everybody that goes that way. There is no extra place for a car to stop, but since to the low amount of traffic this was no problem when I was here.

I wanted to stop at the nearest station before the start of the A2 but the drivers were cool and let me go to the first station of the A2 (Harvincourt) where it's a lot easier to go to Belgium from there.

Very good spot to leave Chaves towards south, you should come here by bus to Boticas and ask the driver to drop you at Autopista before Casas Novas (i departed from Boticas at 7:30am and he made an extra stop for me).
You should wait on the short lane where cars have just turned left and had time to see you. Most of drivers smiled. After 40 minutes a man in a modern pick-up took me to Vila Pouca de Aguiar and offered me 15€, this has been the first time within European continent :D
İn Vila Pouca, drop off at city centre highway entrance, easy to continue. Water spring available.
İn Vila Real, don't drop off at city centre entrance, or you'll need a city bus (5/31/51) from nearby bus station to continue towards Viseu and Coimbra.

Very good spot to continue the hitchhike to south. A water spring is available. Drivers smiled, 2 cars stopped within 40-50 minutes and the second one dropped me in Vila Real.
However, if you are going to Viseu/Coimbra, don't drop off on the western side of Vila Real where the bus station is, or you'll need a city bus to A24 entrance (5/31/51, cost 1,55€). Also if you wanna continue to Porto or the west, that highway entrance in Vila Real city centre looks steep and uncomfortable to wait at, so you'd better check the map for a better continuation.

Here might be good northward as well.

This is a good spot for patient hitchhikers who get rides city by city and not to their destination. I came here on the way from Chaves to Coimbra by bus 51, paid 1,55€. Buses 5 and 31 are also coming and do stop closer. Good traffic, most of them are workers going to other small towns, one offered me a 15km ride but had me refusing when he warned me very low traffic is leaving that village, so I should wait here for a longer ride.
After a hour I opted for a Rede Expresso bus to Coimbra for 10€ through the app.

I only took a look at this spot since the driver from Vila Pouca de Aguiar dropped me here by mistake on my way north-south. This spot can lead you west to Porto, but it's so steep so I'd recommend the one more south-west in Parada do Cuñhos. On the other hand, the bus station is 2 minutes walking :)

It's a good and calm spot, with no motorbikes, and few cars. We got our short ride towards Thái Bình immediately with the first car. Google Translate works pretty well now compared to 8 years ago. I found that showing a digital map to drivers is always confusing for them, so I prepared a simple hand-drawn map with a few nearest towns on the way. Showing this map to the driver works perfectly in combination with the phrase "Bạn đi đâu (Where are you going)?". Also "miễn phí (free)" is pretty helpful to let drivers know you are willing to get a free ride.

This is the spot you can use to get out of Turkey to Bulgaria. My experience in October 2021 was rewarding. I came to the border gate and the officials said "you can't walk" (it's been like that for years) and when I stood up few hundreds metres before, soldiers from Jandarma told me to get backwards and try asking at/inside restaurants. This doesn't work if you, like me, look Middle Eastern so the truck drivers will ignore you thinking you're irregular. So I took a dolmuş back to the pinned gas station and waited 2 hours (could be much less) until a Turkish man took me with him to casino in Svilengrad, offered me the entrance and a private hotel bedroom.

Perfect spot. You will find a huge mostly empty gas station with a lot of space for cars to stop and you will be visible to drivers. In the morning hours the traffic was low, almost no motorbikes at all, so it's easier for cars to stop here. As most cars pass slowly here, you can even hitch a truck. We got a direct truck ride to Huế in about 5 minutes.

To get to this spot from the city, you must get bus number 06 (Vinh – Hà Tĩnh). It starts from Chợ ga Vinh (near the train station, google it), and passes through the city so that you might catch it in a different place, we got it around the Bến Thuỷ area. It goes all the way to Hà Tĩnh, but I suggest you get off at this intersection or directly at the gas station, otherwise, that would be difficult to get away from Hà Tĩnh.

This place is infamous for getting stranded as there are no villages beyond here, just alpine desert. Que: no trucks or local cars except short distance farmers. There are tourist cars, but they're often full or not too Hitchhiker friendly, and there arn't loads of them. it's not impossible, but don't expect it to be easy, be prepared to wait a couple of days, don't miss opportunities to hitch, and be open to hitching back to khorog or willing to pay someone with a car at the hostel.

After some time i found a local grandpa who took me a bit further to a gas station on the ring.

Departure spot mainly to north (Fundao, Covilha) and you can also be offered Lisbon as destination, despite indications to it being on the entrance by the other side of the bridge and a more suitable way starts in Castelo Branco Sul (southern highway entrance). After 30 minutes they offered me Lisbon, then i had to wait one more hour to Alcains where a dutch expat dropped me towards the countryside. In case you get stuck in the afternoon you can opt for provincial buses to north by "Quinta da danca" stop 10 minutes away (walk Espanha direction then get down the bridge).
