2-6-2016, around waited around 20 minutes in a sunny day. I left around 15:00 and got a straight right to Amsterdam. Some intercity traffic, but the traffic light made it a perfect in between of a hitch-spot and parking-place/gas-station.

Perfect intersection to cross to catch a ride that crosses to Montenegro. Waited for 50min but got a ride all the way to Herceg Novi. It's worth the wait plus there is plenty of space for a car to pull over.

To Tampere a good place to hitchhike early in the morning (later a lot of trafic). It is easy to get there, many buses from center stop there. A lot of space to stop (and a bus stop in the end). You should get a ride in an hour.

6min and we got a ride to Oulu. Low traffic and a bus stop. We came from Tampere and got a ride to Jyväskylä, but stopped already here 25km before Jyväskylä to get a good place to continue our journey to Rovaniemi.  (If your going to Rovaniemi and you get a ride from this spot to Oulu, I would recommend getting out 25km before Oulu at the large traffic circle and stay there until you get a direct ride to Rovaniemi)

Low car speed (50), bus stop. We would have gotten a ride to Oulu centre in 10min (but since we were going further south we wanted a ride to oulu where we could get 25km past Oulu to the big traffic circle). Got that kind of ride 20min later.

It is a good place to reach south toll gates. Cars drives quite slow and they have a lot of space to stop. There was a little renovation there so it can a bit change. From toll gates you can easily have a ride to Melaka or Singapore.

Using bus 400 you can get off on leisure mall or one bus stop earlier (should be even better).

Zvekovica-Herceg Novi: Right after the turn to Cavtat and right before airport is a decent spot to catch a ride. However most of the people headed that direction are going to the airport. Locals apparently hate Montenegro and don't go (War grudges). Got lucky to catch a lift to at least to Čilipi to avoid the airport traffic. Had to walk 6 KM towards border before a driver picked me up from there. Awful. Croatians need to be more open minded man!

Direction : Herceg Novi. My hope with catching a ride with a Croatian driver went down really hard this day. Caught a ride from Cavta 2 KM torwards Croatian border after waiting two hours. Had to walk 6 KM to this point and found myself lucky to catch a ride with a Croatian woman headed for Tivat. Even she said "Croatian people need to be more open minded". Got this ride in 5 minutes with high doubts of getting a ride. Maybe it's my luck..  IDK

Buin is reached by the micro from La Cisterna Metro station for 1500CLP with blue micro, ask around for right direction, metro station has few exits. 

However Shell in Buin is inside the town so you get mostly local cars.  Yellow line you see is a shoulder road separated from autopista by fence and is a bit senseless. Driver point that they entering the town and very few leaves it to further south.

Kotor-Tivat: Good place to stand and be seen with TONS of traffic in front of a gas station. The spot in basically a merging lane into the traffic lane. Oddly waited a little over an hour before a local picked me up. (BE CAREFUL) Due to traffic going into town, a lot of people impatiently drive into oncoming traffic and even the spot where you stand in order to turn at the next road.

Large sidewalk, in front of a gas station. DIrections Lisbon and Guarda.
It has an hardware and gardening store really close, so the drivers can pull over at the shops entrance to pick you up.
We were going to Nisa wich is a small village and we waited for 40 minutes max.
I noticed it also serves the people who live in the outskirts of Castelo Branco, so probably lots of people will tell you they're staying in town.

Got dropped here after hitching from zagreb - made a sign "niš" and was thumbing for around 10 mins before a massive storm errupted out of nowhere, the staff were amazing, making me comfortable inside giving n free food until the storm passed. When it did, I stood at the entrance with my sign for 20 mins before a guy stopped and took me 100km further. It's not the best spot and especially after school ends, it seemed to be all family's with full cars, didn't see a single truck come through.

Try not to get here!!!
The station prohibits hitchhiking on their area, not only on the station but also on their parking space. Stay naive and try to keep unnoticed by staff. It's not possible to leave by walk so that might be a good arguing point.

I got here from Cuenca and directly got a ride continuing to the north. I'D NOT RECOMMEND waiting in the city! Because there is one road around the city and one through it - so here you'll catch all of the cars! It's uphill, so they drive slowly. Same for going south - get dropped of after the roades merge again!

A nice spot to wait for getting north here. You can from Piura get a ride here (or to Suillana) and then continue from here - for instance to Mancora. The Panamericana does not have a lot of traffic from here to the north at the coast, because there's another Panamericana more in the east - which is shorter if you directly want to get to ecuador.

Very good place to HH as cars that go to Poland slow down before joining the highway, plus there is a pocket on the road where drivers can stop safely and easily.

Perfect spot to HH to Krakow. Were travelling in a couple boy-girl with a sign KRK. Stand next to the barrier as there is a little pocket for drivers to stop safely. There is not too many cars, yet all of them go to your direction, so chances are very high. Due to the turn, cars have to go slowly, so they can easily spot you and have enough time to decide. Got a ride in 5 min.

Vlore-Sarande: This was one hell of a journey hitchhiking. It's a good road to hitchhike down to Himare. But after that, the traffic dies out to eventually nothing. Had the pleasure of hitching a number of short rides to beautiful places, but eventually left me to walk almost 10 KM until almost sundown. I luckily found a ride about 15 KM's north of Sarande into the city, otherwise I would have been stranded.

Take it and you'll get to a brick wall after around 5m. Climb it (easy with the help of the fence) and you're there! The 3rd driver we asked too us directly to MIrandela.

South-bound hitch spot on the highway.  THis spot is just south of the traffic lights with Boundary street, and has lots of room for cars to pull over.  Traffic is slow here on its way out of Macksville, so its easy for cars to stop.

Its a good spot to stop and dumpster dive the nearby Woolies supermarket on your way south.

Only downside to this spot is that it is popular with truckies to stop and rest here.  If the trucks wont take you you might have to wait for them to leave so that there is enough room for cars to see you and stop.

Good place to HH to Poznań. 2016 - The place is under construction which gives even better opportunities. The cars don't speed because there is a roundabout. There's also a bus stop so cars have a place to stop. Stand as close to the roundabout as you can to give drivers time to make decision whether to stop on the bus stop. POZNAŃ sign is helpful. Look for P... or PO plates.

So i slept on the chairs of the cafeteria. people working at the station were very nice with me and i could use their fridge to storage some of my food for the night. There is clean toilet and the possibility to shower.
Next morning a started hitchhiking at 8. it took me less than half an hour o get a ride to Montelimar...

Devant le magasin de la station essence; tu pose ton sac avec dessus une pancarte qui indique quelle grande ville tu vises (tu peux faire en étape ou etre creatif). Moi j'allais a Marseille et j'ai mis une pancarte avec "+ vers le sud"  et une autre "Mars" !! Tu laisse les gens regarder tes pancartes ton sac lorsqu'ils rentrent dans la boutique, toi t'es pas tres loin mais pas collé a ton sac... ils font le lien, rapidement.. ils ont le temps de reflechir a l'interieur du magasin s'ils veulent ou non prendre qqun en stop...
et quand ils sortent tu leur demande gentillement ou est ce qu'ils vont.

Sinon tu vas directement demander aux gens qui sont en train de faire le plein, et tu fais toutes les voitures !
Cette aire d'autoroute est vraiment bien pour aller dans bcp de directions vers le sud.

Not too far to get to here by foot from city center. I've spoken to a local girl who told me she has seen hitchhikers standing here a few times, so I came here to give it a try. Hitchhiking to Stockholm, I got a direct ride in around 15min. I'd recommend to only accept rides going direct to Stockholm from here, there should be many drivers doing this route and this seems to be always really a good spot. You should stand right at the corner so that people coming from both your left and right side can see you. There's a good space for them to pull over right at this corner, just make sure you don't block it with your backpack and make sure you stand right at the corner so that they have time enough to think and pull over for you safely!

There's a long bus stop here nowadays but Google Street View is out of dated for the city of Trelleborg so you won't see it here if you check it today (July 2016). Anyways, I'd recommend you to don't stand by this bus stop, people really seem to not stop there! I heard from locals that it might be even forbidden for them to pull over there. This street really sucks to find a place to hitchhike, but also by speaking to locals I heard that they've seen people standing and hitchhiking just after this long bus stop. Go there and you sou should see a traffic sign prohibiting people to walk farther in that road, and that's exactly where you should stand - just by that sign. There's some space just after this sign where the cars can pull over for you. It really sucks to hitchhike in this central part of this road (I haven't tried others) but this seems like maybe the least bad spot over here + people have seen hitchhikers here before. I didn't get any car to pull over for me anyways, but instead a whole bus stopped. Going to Ystad, the driver said "just come in, just come in!" and that was how I hitchhiked a bus that day.

If you want to go towards Butterworth/ over the bridge you ust wait back here as the cars will be merging into the far right lane. Nevertheless I found a ride within about 15 mins when standing by the bus stop.

Bus stop for hitching south. A bit too much traffic for my taste, though. This might be your spot if you want to hitch from Stavanger or Sandnes southwards. If you're leaving Stavanger you may need to take a bus or train Sandnes and then walk to here (5 km from the centre. Fares are expensive but you can often get away without a ticket especially by bus.

Might be a decent starting point to get on the A7. This spot is close to the terminal stop "Anderten" of tram #5. To get to the southern gas station follow the narrow path coming from the bridge across the Mittelland Canal.
Not much traffic though. If it takes to long you can still walk to the Wülferode Service Area (A7) in the south, which might take another half an hour.

This sercice area "Demminer Land" opend in July 2016 and is the only gas station at the A20 between Rostock an Prenzlau. It is only located at the western lane but traffic going north can excess it via a bridge. There are not many reasons why you should end up here but if you do, you can choose between going to Berlin or Rostock.
For going to Greifswald find soneone going directly there or let them drop you either at exit 27 (Gützkow) or exit 25 (Greifswald).

I was going to try hitchhiking here but there were 2 problems.  First, the traffic is ridiculous and it is super hard to cross the street without getting hit.  Second, even if you are on the correct side of the road to hitch west they don't cut down any of the grass or plants so you would have to walk through tons of brush right on the side of the highway in order to get to the on-ramp.  I wouldn't even try it here.

This is the location of the largest truck stop in the world!  People that don't hitchhike think that getting rides from truckers is super easy because they go so far, but the truth is that many of them have insurance reasons that they can't pick people up.  I got fooled 3 times at this location from truckers that were pulling over on the shoulder of the on-ramp, but they were not pulling over for me.  After about 2 hours in the hot sun, I got a woman to give me a ride for about a half an hour down the road.  Lots of traffic here, but most of it is semi trucks that won't pull over.  Still a decent hitching spot.

This is a bus stop on the Av. "Promenade des Anglais". It was a sunny summer afternoon. Because of a soccer game, the city traffic was so crowded. Therefore, the buses were trapped in the traffic. I was in a hurry to get to the airport, so I started to ask for a lift. 5 minutes later, an African girl stopped and took me to the airport.

A place to catch a ride into A-49 autovia to Sevilla.

There's a gas station, and further along the road some space for cars to pull off. A few traffic lights slow down the cars.

It's not by any means a great spot, but... possible.

I waited with a sign a little longer than an hour (it was a bad time of the day, too... siesta time), and finally got a ride.

Once you get into the highway, there'll be an "area de servicio" (the first one soon, after maybe 15km), where you can find cars to other destinations, like Madrid, or Jerez, etc.

A place to get a ride direction north  (Santander). There's a gas station nearby, too.

There are two roads going up to Santander, following slightly different routes... both from this spot, and perhaps from the gas station, you'll find cars going up.

On a Sunday morning there was plenty of cars passing this spot, I had a sign to Santander, and in 10min got the first ride that took me some 30km up.

Can't say though if it's a good spot at anytime... it looks ok, not great but ok.

It's a warehouse and fields kind of area... not much there, but easy to reach walking out from Burgos. 

I came walking from little roads behind the castle hills, if you come along the main road, maybe there's other good spots before that.

Ein guter Startpunkt, um von Victoria zum Juan de Fuca Trail zu kommen. Downtown in den Bus 50 einsteigen. Am Langford Exchange in die Linie 61 wechseln (meist bleibt es der selbe Bus) und bis zur Haltestelle Grant Road W at West Coast Road fahren. Dank BC Transit kostet das alles nur 2,50$. Da die Ansagen im Bus schlecht zu verstehen sind, lohnt es sich, dem Busfahrer zu sagen, dass man da hin will. Er wird euch dann direkt an der Ecke aussteigrn lassen, wodurch ihr euch ein paar Meter Fußmarsch spart.. Am Highway 14 sind die Fahrzeuge zwar schnell untrwegs und ihr steht in einer langen Kurve, aber es gibt genug Platz, um zu halten. Außerdem habt ihr ne tolle Aussicht.

There is a construction site here that slows cars down to 50 km/h. (auagust 2016) still not advisable to get dropped off here by people taking the exit to Nummela. Waited several hours and people in the village are super afraid of travelers (refused to give me tab water etc)

Its possible to cross the highway. We wild camped for one night on a field close to the lake of Geneve (no acess to the lake possible cause of rich bitch private properties). At the gas station is a Coop Pronto where you can buy some basic stuff (expensive).

Decided to get the train from nearby Pontypool & New Inn station to Newport, but thence found it difficult to get out of that city going East. However as a stance it is fairly good; you are visible to those at the traffic lights who can also pull in to the service station/McD complex.

I asked people that came from IKEA if they head to the city centre of Hannover. But most IKEA visitors are from around the area (e.g. Celle) and not directly from Hannover. (There is another bigger and more modern IKEA at Hannover-Messe where Hannover people would rather go to.)

This is a good spot for going south if you are not shy to ask drivers for a lift. Many long distance travellers stop here before leaving Darwin and a lot of them are easily dinstinguishable from local traffic. Also check the service station nearby. Try to go for a long ride (Katherine or further) if you want to cover some distance. Try to not get stuck in Katherine though - it is hard to get out. Noonamah service station is 20 km down the road but a lot worse then this spot so refuse lifts to there and try to find someone going further south. There is bus service from Palmerston to Coololinga but check the timetable well in advance.

Noonamah service station features mostly local traffic and few long distance travellers stop here. If you are going north that should not be a problem but if you are heading down the Stuart highway you might want to consider catchiing a lift north to Coololinga and look for a lift from there as it is more likely to get a long lift there if you ask in front of Woolworths.

Good luck if you are hitchhiking into Kakadu national Park from here! You will need it. And other then entering Kakdu via Arnhem highwayfrom the west this is probably your best bet. So be patient and wait. There is a traffic sign up the road that provides shade well into the late morning hours and some trees that provide shade in the late afternoon. During midday it can get very hot so take plenty of water (I ended up taking ten litres during my hitching trp in Kakadu). Traffic can be as scarse as one car per hour even during the daytime. It's mostly tourists passing buy and most cars are loaded to the rim. If you fail to get a lift it is a 10-15 minute walk to the shop in town or the pub for a drink and a talk to the locals. If you camp out bush get well away from the road otherwise drunk aboriginal people might wake you up at night.

Fairly good place to get out of the city towards East. The cars have space to stop, including trucks. If you stand after the traffic lights, drivers can also have more time to consider picking you up.

No hard shoulder, not much stopping space, probably best to walk along your chosen road for a mile.
I came here for a 20 minute journey to the West, hitching without a sign and with a beard, thinking I would ride this rural idyll in an instant, but dumbly stood, sprayed with all the usual visages of negativity -(helpless patronising derision at the very concept, blunt affronted peerings of the low-intelligent, excusing gurnings communicating: 'I'm only going down the road that you want to go down fella, so I can't help ya see? otherwise I'd love to', wily grim-toothed grins indicating that: 'You something-for-nothing boys cannae fool me again, laddie', comic thumb-response gestures and the simple fragile drift to the furthest side of the road with an unaffected glance in the opposite direction) for 75 minutes until a ride going 5 minutes west decided to take me all the way.

Held a sign for I-75S, because the road splits. There's no good place to pull off, but there's a stop light, so it works out. Also noteworthy, I was passed by several cops who didn't bother me =)

They added a lane on the on-ramp. It was easier to hitch there in the past when there was one one lane. I'd prefer the ramp near Crowne Plaza Hotel to go in direction of Liège, Eindhoven or Breda.

I guess you have to bring some time and patience 😄 But there are some trucks which pause here also for stretched periods of time (probably 1 - 20 hours). So I found quite quickly a Turkish driver who would take me in the direction of Turkey. In his 9 hour pause I explored the nearby area and the beach ;)

Important update since 2016 - there is a camera watching you.

I was trying to go south. After an hour of waiting with a sign on a ramp, a highway traffic vehicle stopped by and told me to leave, since it is already a highway. I had to move to the traffic lights junction, where it felt very desperate. Just when I gave up and started searching for buses, a car stopped and took me across the border to Belgium.

Try this spot at your own risk.

I don't know what to think about this spot. I arrived a bit late in the day, there was very little traffic on the highway and even less here at the gas station. I had a sign saying Montpellier. Car drivers didn't seem to bother to slow down or stop and all the truck drivers I have asked were going to sleep. Except of one.

If a guy drops you at exit 16 you can walk 10min to the big toll and it's a nice spot. Get yourself a huge piece of cardboard so that cars can read the sign as the toll is big

Many people going to Brussels, Amsterdam, Calais. Don't try to go at the toll further up because nobody is going to take it for Lille (as it is easy to go around).

There are enough place for the cars to stop, you can hitchhike before the no autostop sign so its not illegal to do it here. The other entrance to the highway in Rimini is now under construction so probably its the best spot to hitchhike up to the highway for both direction.

Short waiting time, but dodgy, car goes quite fast and it's illegal. Anyway, wrote "10KM" on my sign and girl stop in 1 min, she says she's going close so she stopped when she saw 10KM sign. Got dropped at St Gishlain station which is perfect

I keep having great experiences at this spot and frequently found rides straight to Stuttgart and beyond. Absolutely recommended.
If you're hitchhiking with 2 people it's usually best to have one person asking around, and another one with a sign a bit before the gas station.

We, two girls on a Saturday morning, tried to get out of Bologna from this spot. The place is not that bad in theory: Cars dont drive too fast and people noticed us in general. There is a lot of traffic. Nevertheless we were standing for one and a half hour without success. Finally we decided to move from this spot because it was quite sunny and there is no shadow.

We started waiting a the station then changed mind and started walking towards Kalambaka, this was probably a bad idea because most of the time car couldn't see us but after more than an hour of waiting some albanian workers took us directly to Kalambaka to see Meteora.

Can be a good spot, you need to go up the ramp in front of the highway sign. Behind there is a place for cars to stop. Definitely use a sign with "Utrecht" otherwise local cars will stop. Don't stay at the corner by the traffic lights there is no place to stop. Stand there for like 50 minutes - only one local ride. After going further up the ramp got a ride after around 15 minutes. 
A lot of traffic even on Saturday afternoon.

It seems a great spot to hitch to Mostar or Dubrovnik and it very likely is HOWEVER be very careful. I exited the car of my host and lit up a smoke and within 2 minutes an unmarked police car stopped me and demanded my papers, after asking for their ID they told me the only ID I needed to see was there gun before eventually showing something real. They got me to unload the entirety of my bag and found an empty weed grinder and then tried to charge me 500 euros, they then forcefully took my passport and because I wouldn't pay they took me to the station. They then lied to me for over an hour about not being allowed to contact the embassy or a lawyer and instead made jokes about how they were conning me and I'm lucky they don't send me to prison even after I had paid 450 euros for smoking a cigarette. Absolute joke. Be very careful the police force seems very corrupt as it was the chief who eventually charged me and denied me any of my rights. They are just stealing passports and holding travellers to ransom. Avoid the road if you can as many police cars come along here and all have tried to stop me since the first interaction.

From a strategical perspective, an excellent spot. All the traffic coming from Zell am See going to Salzburg or Munich has to pass this gas station. Gas station staff is friendly and welcoming to hitchhikers.

However, keep in mind that the long-distance travellers from Zell am See are mostly wealthy people (ski tourists) reluctant to pick up a poor hitchhiker.
Local traffic won't pick you up.

Be patient though, the statistics are in your favor and this place is almost a safe bet. You can also approach drivers at the gas pumps and just ask.

Not the best spot, only few cars stop here. Sunday late afternoon it was almost empty.

Since it's a small gas station it's still easy to ask drivers at least and they're mostly very kind.

A good spot, Like another hitchihker, I got out from one car and immediately got into another, heading to Vienna. That was at 21:30 so even at night you have a chance.

There's also a Burger King so you can warm up or get WiFi and charge your phone.

On a Saturday afternoon, this gas station was rather empty. Weekend travellers are mostly families taking long breaks, so you might find yourself standing for quite a while. 
Cars towards Linz, Salzburg, Germany and Belgium.

Consider taking a car that takes you to a bigger raststation such as St. Pölten.

Very difficult place to go south. Traffic is either local or towards Freistadt/CZ, with people reluctant to picking you up.

I was standing for over 2 hours in the pouring rain, going back and forth to the gas stations and shops, and after being cold and soaked, a young woman finally took me all the way to Salzburg.

Not a lucky spot! Consider taking a ride that will get you at least to A1 if you wanna go south.

Going towards Pico do Arieiro. It was late in the afternoon, heavy fogging, very minimal traffic, maybe 40-50 cars in 15 minutes. The spot itself is in the corner next to the STOP sign so can hitchhike both roads and people have to slow down anyways (one road for STOP sign, the other for hairpin corner). I rate it 3 stars as the spot for cars to stop isn't the best. Thankfully traffic is very minimal so that's not really a danger. First couple who stopped also went to Pico do Arieiro so it was an easy hitchhike to the top.

Going towards Seixal. Really not ideal as cars don't have a spot to stop in. We got lucky and someone picked us up really quickly, just stopping on the side of the road, blocking the way of traffic. Try to hitchhike well before the solid line starts so you leave space for other cars to overtake the car stopped to pick you up.

Bus stop right before a stoplight. Tons of cars coming from Keukenhof Gardens. Can talk to drivers stopped in long lines from traffic light. Everyone I talked to was going opposite direction from Amsterdam even though all traffic to Amsterdam must pass that spot. Only one person actually pulled over and stopped for us, but she was going a different route.
After over an hour we looked at bus options. An unmarked bus stopped and said he was going to Amsterdam and that the bus was free, so we were lucky, but other people on the bus said they’d had to pay for it.

Pretty sure this spot is illegal since it's already on the main road and it's a bus stop, but with a "Rabka" sign I got a ride to Myślenice in less than 5 min.

On-ramp that works okay enough, was little traffic at 10 am on a Wednesday, which probably was a benefit. There is a breakdown lane where the cars can stop, and it's decent enough for being an onramp.  Got a car to Königsforst Raststätte after fifteen minutes.

Quite a lot of traffic Wednesday around 10:15 in the morning. Got a ride to the gas station at the A3 before Frankfurt after around 20 minutes.

Went hiking through the woods (which is apparently a minefield, but got marked paths, signs saying you shouldn't stray off the paths. The fence around the gas station is around 2m, probably not too difficult to climb, but is pointy on the top, and it looks fairly difficult to climb over and look casual.

There's is a loose down corner on the fence right before the station, so if one happen to be a very small dog or a cat that could also work. I think the best place to climb over is on the side  before the station, it's a bit more hidden and clearly a lot of people have climbed over there before.

This is a good spot for hitchhiking towards Copenhagen, but not a good spot if you are going from Copenhagen. If you are be sure to get a ride from the ferry to the city - otherwise its an hour walk and not good for hitchhiking. to hitch towards Copenhagen, be sure to be there 45 min. before depature, and you are almost garanteed a ride.

Okay enough, highway service stations are always quite a good place. I was heading into Nürnberg, but I arrived in the middle of rush hour and the motorway was a standstill traffic jam. Had a break and then found a car going to München. I unfortunately don't speak much German and the driver asked if I had a boyfriend and wasn't too happy when I said yes, and let me off at the next Rasthof. Found a car taking me into Nürnberg there almost immediately though.

Motorway service station, not possible to walk to/from.

Not too trafficed on a Sunday morning in January 2023. Extremely nice staff at the café  gave me a coffee for free and said I could just go inside if I needed to warm up.

Unfortunately Netflix launched a documentary about a hitchhiker and axmurderer right before I went on a hitchhiking trip, so a lot of people in England said they were to scared to pick me up.

Two middle-aged women wasn't going my direction but bought me a sandwich. 

Eventually some guys from Romania going to Leeds picked me up and dropped me off at the station outside Newark-On-Trent. 

Unfortunately neither of us was completely familiar with the left driving and I was headed towards Lincoln, so I ended up in an inconvenient spot and ended up finding a car into Newark-On-Trent from there, but that was mainly my fault.

Direction Hamburg/wherever that's not Denmark:
Try to get a ride before you enter the ferry from Rødby. It's a rush of cars each time the ferry arrives, but absolutely no opportunity for them to stop except the last cars,unless it's a nearly empty ferry. 

We just gave up, got a ride from the camping place to Oldenburg in Holstein the next morning but that was just sheer luck. 

It was also 3 other hitchhikers stuck with us. At least the weather was nice.

Puttgarden also don't have a grocery store, but the ferry terminal got a soup vending machine, so I strongly recommended bringing your own packed lunch if you plan on getting stuck here.

I use this spot a lot with mixed results. If it's to busy people don't stop because the entry isn't very wide. In this case don't be to picky and take the first ride you get to Isselburg (10km further). This entry is much wider, but with less trafic.

great stop direction karlovy vary (and I suppose the direction prague too, but we didn't try). cars have to slow down there, because they are going through the village and there is a large bus stop, so enough place to stop. we literally even didn't have to take off our backpacks and one car immediatelly took us

Was heading to Brno-Czechia, however not too many cars go to Czechia (counted 5 cz license plates in 40 mins). I made a sign Czech and Slovak flag🇨🇿🇸🇰 and Slovak stopped.. so I am going through Bratislava to Brno, I think the flow from Bratislava will be better to Brno.

The spot is good, people don't go too fast, and can easily pull over.

Hitching east out of Creston sucks. 99% of the traffic you'll see is local. This spot isn't great but it's kind of your best option.
There is a set of lights to slow traffic down, and a parking lot for cars to pull off the road. Local traffic usually turns off at this intersection.

Not so many cars, but pretty much everyone is going in the direction you want to go, so sooner or later someone will take you. We stood at the very end, where all the little roads joined the onramp.

we we're walking along the road in order to get a ride to the hungarian border. a lady picked us up and drove us to a small hungarian/serb border, barely visable on the map. we had to wait a bit but were lucky. i wouldn't consider it to be an ideal spot though bcs a lot of cars are speeding on this street. when you stand in front of a traffic light so the drivers can see you, you might get luckier

Until I arrived to the freeway where I waited around 15mn before getting a ride. People looked like they didn’t trust me idk why. Even the women that gave me the ride.

Hitchhiking with sign "Austria WIEN", it is a good spot where cars can stop on the side of the road easily...  at first it didn't seem like there is many people going to Austria, but as soon as I was about to give up a guy took me all the way to Vienna Center...

We gave up after waiting for three hours, and were actually picked up while walking up the mountain road.
Locals don't stop because they assume you are for the border, and Bulgarians assume it's a local thing. Mornings there is huge amount of traffic to a mine (рудник) so put up a sign "5km" or something of the sort. From where the road of the mine goes off the main road it is just a few bends of the road to the top where the border is (and you can find path that cut those bends).

But generally if you coming from inside Macedonia towards Bulgaria, much better option is to use the spot at the Kumanovo toll station (patarina) and ask directly cars with BG numbers. They seem to be less willing to stop on foreign territory.

The best place for going to Bulgaria along a route which is not too frequented.

Great place to ask people directly but thumbing at the exit with a sign saying "NORTH" also worked for me. Got a ride to Sillekrog at 9pm despite the low traffic.

Great spot, but hard to reach! The spot itself is super efficient to hitch hike north on road 151 (to Mendoza, and before to San Rafael). If you stay on road 51 it is really easy to go far, huge traffic and lot of trucks and lot of space for car to stops :)
To reach it : in 2023 take the colectivos línea 2 from Centro of Neuquén, and take one that goes to Centenario (not all buses of línea 2 are going there). Ask the driver to leave you at a stop where you can take another bus that will take you to Vista Alegre Norte. Then it is one of the last stops, and 20mns of walk. Count 1h30 at least.

The spot is just after a turn so be careful of the cars that can arrive fast in the corner. Maybe not the best hitchpoint on that road that offers plenty of other spots not far (gas sation and other bus stop) but for sure you will have cars that stop.

It looks like a great spot to find someone to Salzburg but it took me more than 3 hours to find someone who was going there. Most of the people I asked were going to Munich, not a lot of Austrian stop there, and we've been controled by the police after I was in the car cause it's next to the border. I think the oil is cheaper in Austria so you have probably more people who stop before crossing the border.

Hitching north out of DFW on US-75 is tough. This spot really isn't the greatest, but I got picked up surprisingly fast.

The issue is that there really isn't a good spot for vehicles to pull off. And well also, there is no transit in the area so it's a long walk to get to this spot.

The Costco near Parker rd. would probably be a better option. It's a substantialy shorter walk, and The truck entrance seems like it would offer a good place for vehicles to pull off.

Got a lift to the Czech-German close to Dresden border immediately. Lots of traffic towards CZ/PL/Eastern Germany (at least according to license plates at the gas station).
I was dropped off at the gas station and didn't feel like approaching the drivers. The first car on the way to the roundabout stopped.

It's a good spot towards Sarnen and Obwalde for example. But if you are going to Zurich, never get out here! It's a trap with everyone going to Zurich on another route. We ended up walking to a busstation after 3 to 4 hours waiting time, and took a Bus to luzern.

You can hitch up the Mountain only 40 minutes every 2 hours, then it's closed for 20 minutes, and then traffic goes the other way around for 40 minutes. Make sure to inform yourself about the hours and time your start.

No Germans picked me up but i did catch a ride to Berlin from here with two Greek men going south.

First stood at the Gasstation but missed many people going to the restaurant or Parking. Asked Truck drivers but most ejected me Immediately.

A lot of cars, often with 3 empty seats, pass by - either as local traffic, or ignoring you, or looking at you as if the concept of hitchhiking is completely alien and anthropologically fascinating to them, something they never saw a mortal do before.

Terrible place. Only 1 car every 5-10 minutes, and even though they can see you from far, they are somehow incapable to grasp it might be useful to pick you up as you are stuck in the middle of nowhere. They do honk at you. It's also a dangerous place to stand and the shadowy spots are pretty sparse. I finally got picked up and dropped off at another junction about 30min by foot from the Segesta site. All in all, it took me between 4 and 5 hours to get from Castellamare to the ruins of Segesta (a 20min drive). Don't be stupid like me and just take the Tarantola bus.

Three-lane road and those on the left are having quite hard time seeing you. And the speed is high.

BAD plan to get there to cross. I almost did it with the truck on the side. But i dont think any car will stop in front of the ferry gate, there are focus on something else, and probably thinking about extra fee. If you want to cross here, the best Wat is probably to find a car more in the inerland. Like a gasstation in Lübeck would be perfect, there you can target danish plate until you find one that cross on the ferry. 
Otherwise it's 20 euros to cross as a pedestrian

This isn't the perfect spot, but if you're stuck out here in Melissa, then it's probably your best bet. I find that the type of person that stops at Buccie's, isn't the type of person that stops for hitchhikers. 

That said, people that live in Melissa are even less likely to stop for you. I got picked up by a California transplant, that does a lot of backpacking. He was a really cool guy. He was on his way out to Texoma lake to test out some new gear.

Perfect place for the south up to Marseille.
i use often this spot to go directly to Marseille. When going to Marseille I use a different method than usual : I writte a sign with Marseille and go only with drivers going up to there. From my experience a lot of cars are directly going to Marseille and finding one might take a little longer than taking the first car but ensure you to go directly there and not to get stuck on a random highway intersection on the way. It works always good for me like that
good luck

Arrived here with one friend at 8pm trying to get a ride to Zaragoza. There are a lot of truck drivers but almost all of them stay here for a while to sleep and visit the local strip club. This gas station shuts at 10pm so barely any traffic after that hour. Eventually had to spend a night sleeping in an abandoned house behind the station because the hostel was booked out. Luckily, next morning got a ride from a truck driver almost directly into Zaragoza. There are also people going to Barcelona and Madrid from here. You need to be friendly, pro-active and ask around. Otherwise you can be stuck here for a while.

Good place to catch a long distance ride with cars heading all the way to Madrid or Pamplona. There is quite a bit of truck traffic too. This area also has a very decent and cheap buffet (€8/person as of July 2023), so a lot of people driving from Barcelona stop here. This is a local spot and there aren’t many foreigners, so knowing Spanish or Catalan is important. The best strategy is to talk to people at the gas station but standing with a sign on a ramp leading to the highway works too.

Not the best place to hitchhike, but my car stopped almost immediately. Maybe I was just lucky, but there's no better place to hitchhike north from Trondheim...

The place looks good, plenty of room to stop just after the roundabout, but everyone just goes to the next town, where I ended up getting stuck. Maybe it's better to take the train straight to Asen

intersection of 2 roads, kinda in the middle of nowhere, but after 10 mins a car going to Oslo stopped.
At this spot the cars turn from E10 to E45.

I just jumped out of the car and the other one pulled up! There's plenty of room to stop! Maybe I was just lucky, but I recommend it!

Going South, a bus stop opposite Kilpishalli/KMarket - enough space to stop, the cars go slowly. You might need time to get your ride, but be patient. (July 2023).

Ran away after it started raining very hard, it seemed quite alright of a spot, although my friend wasn't very motivated because there wasn't so much space for cars to stop. We were trying to get to the A4 towards Frankfurt, but started heading to the spot at the roundabout further to the south.

We decided to try here after trying the parking lot spot with little luck for a while. The idea was to be visible to all vehicles, even those not planning on stopping at the station, since the traffic was low. It worked; a couple saw us, felt bad, and actually entered the petrol station through the exit!! And we got really lucky and got a ride all the way to Innsbruck!

The spot was ok. A little scary to be out near the lanes like this, and some people gave us dirty looks, but all in all pretty good. If traffic is higher, this spot might feel less safe, and the parking lot spot is probably preferable.

We used a pretty big sign with "AU" on it. Since cars not planning to stop go pretty fast, using few, big letters is probably advisable, so they can read it from afar.
