honestly, this was such a good spot! i got dropped off here the day before at around 9p.m. the staff let me sleep in the restaurant area of the petrol station on my sleeping pad. (they just told me to take care of my purse.,) they didn’t even ask me to buy something. i had a nice chat with them in the evening and in the morning the folks from the next shift gave me 4 sandwiches <33
got a ride here in 15 minutes to the border crossing varsand (there’s a bit less traffic than in nadlac) but you’ll still easily find a truck there to take you to budapest.

waited here 15-30 min and then got a ride to budapest. tried the spot ~400m before that one (at the tir parking before), that didn’t go well cause the traffic there was just too fast. at the entrance to this roundabout, it was just perfect. cars are mostly local, but the trucks will give you the ride :)

From the center of Zagreb, take the 111 and stop at mercatone then walk to the gaz station. 
We were 3 peoples looking to go to Split, we wait around 40min before we found a car. You have to ask people directly to see where are they going. There was also toilets 👌

[FR] Lieu utilisé par la plupart des jeunes de Langouët qui n'ont pas de voiture pour avoir un lift jusqu'à Gévezé d'où un bus pour Rennes part au pire toute les heures au mieux 3 fois par heure. En général l'attente dure maximum 5-10 minutes.

I don’t how you people autostop from here. I’m sure it’s possible but just tell me the way. It’s a big road with a looot of cars that don’t have where to stop nor how to see you. On top of that when you go to Madrid the cars nearest to you are not going there so you won’t pick anyone near you. The only idea I had was to ask people on the red light, but as I said it would be people on the middle of the road and I didn’t want to risk being there when the light turns green. I’m disappointed I tried both ways out of Burgos to Madrid and both are bad, I’ll have to take a bus :(

I got off at the inter-city bus station and this spot was not far away from there. I was heading to Norfolk and was probably lucky. Not an idyll spot, not much traffic in the early morning, but there's space for cars to stop up the hill.

The spot always works - there's traffic lights to slow cars down and bus stand for them to stop. I hitched couple of times from here, although need to ignore many grumpy city people passing through. Disadvantage that is far away from city center (I walked, but, of course, you can take a city bus)

 I hitch very often early in the morning going for  work. Usually takes one car to reach directly to Fort William, cos most locals which are very friendly, go there. That applies in the winter, but waiting time can take longer (5-30 min), cos not much traffic during this time per year. In a summer, traffic is very busy (takes less time to catch a car)

We stood just before the highway, behind the guard rail. Big sign saying no stopping / hitching. But... A car stopped before police we saw any police.
There are tunnels to get around the roundabout without playing Frogger in the road.
Hitch towards limmasol / larnaca / lefkosia (Nicosia)

The roundabout is hard for someone to stop in. They could, maybe, but it'd be dangerous and no one seemed to stop there. Also, not great luck at the gas station 6min walk from there.
If all else fails, there is a bus stop about 5min walk from the gas station with intercity busses going every hour or so. Between 4-8 euro, depending on which city.

They told me they went by Clermont but they were going to Haute Savoie, they thought Clermont was in the Alpes......

They didn't even stop by Lyon so they stopped here and I tried to pick another car to Lyon to sleep there cause it was like 6pm when I got there. There were only big families stopping and all, I thought I was going to sleep there but by 9pm a random guy took me by pity to Lyon.

The spot is a decent alternative when it's dark outside and no traffic at the gas station if someone is heading north. There is a lamp and a place where cars can easily pull over. The only issue is that cars go downhill so the driver doesn't have time to react after spotting you.

It was 6 am, during winter, dark outside and traffic was very low. Got a ride after 15 minutes of waiting to Berkåk although the driver had to turn back for me as he didn't have time to react in time.

There is a little shop. The lady in the shop seemed to have met hitchhikers here before, as she approached us with chairs, question in google translate "do you want to travel with no payment?", and also offered us a cardboard to make a sign. Just because it's right after the turn from Skun it makes it more difficult for cars that are going from Phnom Penh direction to stop. Anyway, you can chill there, get some cold drink, and wait for your ride to Siem Reap.

We experienced a fairly long wait time here. There was a fair amount of traffic, for a relatively quiet road, as well as space to pull over (albeit a bit short). We were here at 8AM and it was raining pretty heavily. We went to the petrol station to put some extra layers on and without even attempting to hitch we were told by the staff there that we were not allowed to solicit rides on their property. Found a lift to Ohakune after 90 minutes or so, as we decided our best bet to get to Wellington would be back on Route 1.

Odd spot to be hitching, but we were dropped off here as our last ride was heading east on the Vinegar Hill Rd. Ample space to pullover as cars come round the corner and up the hill.

Heading towards St Arnaud, we walked up and down this road searching for ample space for cars to stop - only the odd junction to a farm or yard. It is possible to hitch this road to St Arnaud, but most cars are only travelling to local vineyards. The nice fella that eventually took us to St Arnaud had to turn around further up and come back round for us. Be prepared for a long wait with no shade on a sunny day. Bring lots of water!

Not the busiest of roads after the road splits into the 6/65 but nice amount of room to pull over and traffic not too fast after the corner. We found a ride in 15 minutes heading to Greymouth, but the gentleman was heading to Franz Josef.

Fairly long wait heading to Hokitika, but worth mentioning this was around 2 hours before sunset and we were still well and truly within Greymouth where a lot of traffic was clearly just travelling locally. We eventually found a ride from a fella heading to Christchurch, and we rode with him to Kumara junction just 16km south on the 6. I imagine this spot is a lot better earlier in the day. Use of a sign recommended.

Fair amount of traffic, and room to pull over. However, traffic was quite fast and cars were packed out on this tourist road. After 60 minutes we managed to get a lift to Franz Josef on a rainy morning.

Heading south on the 6, we thought we'd try our luck for a while hitching from outside the church. There wasn't really much traffic at all and most signalled to us that they were turning left up to the glacier. Better off walking to the other side of the bridge and hitching after the glacier junction. 2/5 as it is definitely still possible to catch a ride going further south.

Maybe about 10-15 minutes wait for us for a ride to Fox Glacier. Better than waiting in the village as there you will miss the traffic leaving the glacier road and heading south. Little bit of room to pull over but fairly slow traffic.

We walked here from Fox Glacier village. Careful crossing the bridge (single file and no footpath). Not the best spot and fair walk to get there. Driver ended up pulling over on the other side of the road. Better than hitching in town as you miss a lot of the glacier traffic, much like in Franz Josef. Lift was going to Wanaka, however.

Typically longer waiting time anywhere along this road. Not too much traffic, and very full cars/2-seat vans. We hitched from here after camping at the Parangi DOC ground and we found a ride towards Wanaka after 45 minutes. 3/5 because the 6 is fairly quiet but you should find a lift and there is lots of room to stop on either side.

Got a lift super quick in the direction of Cromwell, but only as far as Luggate. Driver explained that maybe 30% of traffic from here was going to Cromwell/Alexandra, but from Luggate about 90% of traffic is going that way. The spot itself is ok with a little road entrance for drivers to pull over. We walked to this spot as there was roadworks at the 84/6 junction.

One of the worst spots of my hitchhiking life. The precedent lift left us here assuring me and my friend that is was a good spot but it wasn't AT ALL. I can't remember how long we waited but I think we only saw like 7 cars pass : it was desert (it was on a Saturday afternoon, maybe it's different other days ?). Plus, it was raining and there was literally nowhere to hide from rain there. (Apparently, it rains very frequently around this spot, so be careful and check the weather before accepting to be left there)

I was going to Lisbon and came here from Castelo Branco northern district by Linha Azul bus (1€). You should drop off before this road intersection, you'll have to walk back longer otherwise.
I waited on the western side of this previously pinned point, facing Schreiber (look at the map).
After 20 minutes a spanish expat living in Coimbra picked me up. He's one of the many drivers avoiding the nearby highway. He dropped me near Vila Velha de Rodao where the road to Coimbra begins northwards. It was hard to leave that mentioned place, as no car enters the highway to Lisbon. So if you're here in Castelo Branco, make sure your driver doesn't take you to a village. Or choose a highway entrance.

And no one really drove through my lane, so i walked back to Abrantes direction national road till a man picked me up for some km.

A man took me here from Castelo Branco, he was very kind but this is not a very logical waiting spot towards Lisbon.
Foggy day, 2 hours of daylight left, i waited on this narrow provincial road to Gavião/Abrantes with curious cows staring at me, then realized the nearby bigger road goes also to Abrantes, tried to walk but darkness and cars driving fast made it unsafe. So after a total of 3 hours, i came back to this spot and walked in the dark, intermittent torch on my hand. The third car stopped and took me to Abrantes train station (7:30pm last one).
Thank you torch.

If you're going to the west coast this road looks like an enticing shortcut vs going via Nelson. Indeed, someone used the exact words, "enticing shortcut" and took me from the perfect hitch spot outside the supermarket to here. 


5 hours later:
 
There was tons of traffic, they could see me, there was space to pull over. Nobody stopped. Nobody was going to the west coast this way, everyone is just going to work in the vineyards and farms a few miles down the road, and they won't help A hitchiker.

I was told this by a guy who saw me waiting there 4 hous ago, and felt bad enough to drive me back to the Nelson road during his lunchbreak, the spot i was at in the first place, where I caught a ride in 5 minutes. 

This road has AIDS, its quicker via Nelson. Don't bother unless you are genuinely happy to wait around for hours on end for nothing, and at best get dropped in the middle of knowhere.

I'm not the only person who's had issues with this road, it's not a shortcut, its a trap.

Really the best spot in front of former car wash, as cars do stop and as a local I used it tons of time to go to Međugorje and beyond. Cars are not going fast and will see you from intersection when on red light as well and make their call wether to stop or not. Although it seems odd trust me it's a good spot. From Međugorje, major crossing that goes to town and to other places you can get another ride for further. Loads of trucks as well. People are totally cool in this region

Setup : one guy, not looking obviously foreigner.

Perfect spot to hitchhike, south or north : large road, military control just above so people are driving slow, and you can wait under tree's shadows which is a huge plus on the coast.
Took me 1h to get a ride to Monteria.

Not a great spot, but still useful if you do not want to go inside Monteria. Try waiting just after the roundabout, you have a road that skips the city and bring you on the road 23 to Medellin.
Remember you can also stop motos, you have higher chances to have short moto rides until Planeta Rica !
From there it took me 2 motos and 2 cars in 3 hours to get to Planeta Rica.

If you can get there, it is a truck-drivers resting area, ideal spot for hitchhiking. They all go to Medellin or to Cartagena in the other way, they drive super slow, you have a lot of space and you can go ask directly to drivers having a break.The exact point is behind "Restaurant La Patrona, Planeta Rica, cordoba" on maps.
Took me 10mn to get a ride to Medellin.

The best spot to get out of Zurich, I used it twice, once to get to Basel, once to get to Avignon(France) both succesfull, you're very visible there and there is a pocket for cars to stop, there's not always a lot of traffic there but still got rides under 30minutes. To get there you have to go like a 100m back towards the city from the Sportsweg tram stop and then get thru the tram tracks closer to the road, the pole with stickers is your spot!

Not a good place, at least on Sunday. The restaurant is closed, gas station looks oldschool, 99% local traffic. In the end i got rescued by germans with big old trucks who were searching everywhere for strong air pump for their wheels. If you have a chance to go to next station near Massalaves, go there, it looked much more promissing.

We needed to get to Germany. Most of the cars were Italians, a few Switz cars as well. After 2 hours, we changed our "Germany" sign for "Como" (the town just before the Switz borders) and got a ride in 20 minutes to a petrol station in front of Como.

That's my experience. However, two friends who started hitchhiking right after we got the ride and used the same signs got stuck at the petrol station for 7 hours with no lift anywhere north towards the A9 highway. 

Overall, I would say it's a good place theoretically, but Italians simply won't take you. If you need to go north, hitch towards Como and stop at the petrol station just in front of Como. There all the cars go north and it's easier to catch a ride there. There's way more Switz. French and German cars there.

We were hitchiking with a "Germany" sign for like 15 minutes and got a ride to Zurich. The driver was going all the way to Strasbourg though. It was a French car. Overall, there's a lot of Switz cars, some French and German. Everyone's going north. 

Side note: Be careful, in Switzerland the EU phone tariffs don't apply and the prices for phone services skyrocket. Make sure to make your plans before you enter.

Going from north direction Tinghit. Up until this point it the road was very empty but still hitchhikable, taking small distances and a lot of time. From here it seemed like basically no cars going that way. But you can sit in local cafe, talk to locals (this village is not touristy, has very authentic vibes) and try to hitchhike from your chair, maybe you'll be lucky. If not, there is a minibus to Tinghir for 50 DH stopping right on the spot.

Cars are quite fast here and mostly don't stop at the traffic light. But I eventually managed to get a car to the border. It can be difficult to stop since cars going to France use the 2 lanes on the left and the lane on the right is for very local traffic. You definitely need a sign. Good luck!

So for us (2), this spot was a bit risky, we were afraid that we would have to spend the night there. Eventually we went up to a person and asked if he could take us and he said yes.

I walk out of town as far as this garage as it is an easy place for cars to see form far away and have room to pull in... 
also I stand at the exit of garage cause often drivers pulling out pick up, they have had time to think about it and get a good look at me/have a relaxed chat before deciding...
If I were heading to Glendelough I would take lift as far as Hollywood as a lot of traffic passing through going all the way to Glendelough...

Many competitors and I've waited here the longest in my entire trip. Trucks usually go to the mine and wouldn't pick you up. Eventually a really nice guy picked me up and the ride to Zagora is very scenic where we stopped to enjoy the view and he invited me to his home twice to eat together!

We stood there with a Lisbon sign starting around 14:15 and also asked people. It’s a fairly small gasstation and it was a Sunday so even less cars were coming through but on busy days I would say it’s worth a shot. We gave up after maybe two hours and are now taking a Blabla car to badajoz.

If you want to go to the direction of Tours, you can ask the cars if they can leave you at the péage 13 km further. There the highway splits in two directions (Paris and Tours) and you can easily switch from the Paris péage to the Tours péage.

There is enough space to stop 50 meters after the péage where you can stand without being illegal (the gendarmerie is very close to the péage). Cars using 4 lanes of the péage can stop here. Use a big sign because the highway splits (Lyon or Montpellier). Good luck!

I recommend, but also I was very lucky. The doors were open and I've found a driver in less than 30 minutes. At the beginning I've tried to ask drivers at the station, but finally changed my tactcis. IMHO is better to stay with a cardboard by the road leading to the station (but leave it only a little, so as not to enter the highway!). Statistically you then have a better chance of finding a crossing

There is a lot traffic passing through here, as well as some songthaewa to Ao Luek and some other longer distance buses you can stop. There were a few other people waiting here, so I think it may be a bus stop and that makes it confusing to hitchhike from here.

The spot was very good. It can be accessed very easily through a passage behind the convenience store and you won't be walking where cars drive.
The station has everything, toilets, wifi, electrical plugs for charging your devices, Food etc.
I got picked up after one hour waiting time on a Monday. I started at 10am and got a lift at 11am.
It took me a total of 4 rides to get to Nagoya station and the drivers were always very respectful and curious why I'm hitchhiking in japan.
Tomorrow I'll continue hitchhiking to Osaka and after that to kumamoto, just to see how far I can go.
On this trip I never had any worries about unsafe road conditions, people being rude, not having food or a toilet. Everything was available all the time and it was a very good experience.

This place seems to be a good spot, because there is a place to stop, so I stood here with a cardboard "DIRECCIÓN GRANADA." Although the distance was short, unfortunately it was not my lucky day. I waited a total of 4 hours (four times an hour each) and was unable to find a ride to my destination. If you hitchhike here, arm yourself with a lot of patience. I also recommend catching a hitchhike a little lower down, where cars are not going so fast yet. One driver stopped there before, but he only drove 17 km. In addition, a family stopped and wanted to take me for money. Maybe you guys will have more luck.

The spot is relatively difficult to reach as there is no pedestrian path. So you have to walk behind the crash barrier for about 1 km. But it's worth it. The highway access road is single-lane, but without a crash barrier and with enough green space next to the road for cars to stop. I didn't wait a minute with a "Dresden" sign. I just took the sign out of my rucksack and a car stopped. Can only recommend the spot. But be prepared to walk a short distance across the field.

It is a spot on traffic lights. We stood next to  crosswalk. We had sign Wurzburg and thumbs up. Its good place, because there is big traffic and also cars have to stop at traffic lights, so it is easy to interact with them and they have also time to decide. There is a space behind the light to stop, so i think it is not dangerous or risky for drivers to stop. Also people from Nuremberg told us that this spot is good and kind of “famous” for hitchhiking. I recommend you to write a sign and be funny, use your hands and smile. Impress drivers, it really works.
 Finally we drive to Bamberg instead Wurzburg, because we just wanted to go away from Nuremberg, but it is possible to catch something this way.

Run away. This spot sucks. We wanted to get to Fulda/Kassel or just Autobahn 7 but nobody stoped. People who definately went there, they were just pretending they dont and LKW drivers slept there, so they didnt give us ride. There are just locals, who are going there for Mc or just shopping. They were smiling but we felt just like bunnies. Dont let happen that you stuck there for hitchhiking. We went back to Schweinfurt with young german local, who was pitty about us.

Before we write a sign to Kassel, one old man stopped us, but it was more luck then advantage of the spot. And he took us only to some weirdly big gas station out of the city, where we stucked for cca 3 hours. But maybe, i think it is good spot, traffic is strong there to A70 and A7. But big problem is Schweinfurt at all, because locals do not stop, it is a deaf place. Hitchhikers in Wurzburg told us the same. So it is better to run away from Schweinfurt.

At first I was worried that the spot was gonna be bad because it really doesn't seem like cars could stop anywhere. BUT: after only 2 minutes I got a ride to himeji with a very kind family.
They stopped their car in a road parallel to the onramp, so if you attract cars from the main road, they will have a chance to stop there and reenter onto the highway, so don't worry.
I even got help from the local firefighters at their building just down the road, one of them walked me all the way to the point and explained me where to go and what to write on my sign.
If you need the bathroom, further down the road there is a gas station with a clean bathroom, so your needs should be covered.
I recommend this spot, even though it seemed sketchy at first.
Edit: on my sign I wrote 姫路方面 which means "towards himeji"
You can ask your ride to drop you of at the next SA, or service area (サービスエリア)

Très bon endroit ! Attendu 30 secondes. Beaucoup de trafic. Les gens ne conduisent pas trop vite, pas trop de place pour se garer mais il y a plusieurs voies donc ça ne bloque pas le trafic. 
Pour s'y rendre depuis le centre ville de Nantes,  prendre le tram 1, descendre à Schoelcher (à la descente du tram, prendre tout droit) et traverser la zone commerciale pour rejoindre le rond-point atantis.

Direction Béchar and anywhere north. All people in Taghit (very touristic city) know about this gas station as a place where many cars stop before leaving. So you can walk here and wait from the gas station side under trees shadow. If it doesn't work, take a minibus back to the city and move into a departing one. Cost 150da (60cent).
This was my first hitchhike try within 2 months around Algeria.

You will have to reach the spot by taking the Via Rhona (bike and walking way along the river) from Aigues Mortes until you reach the industrial zone. Continue on the via rhona after the parking of the SUPER U and turn on the first path you see on your left. There's plenty of space for the cars to stop. Perfect for a saturday afternoon !

Besides, this spot is just at the city's hostel gate "Maison de Jeunes Tabarka". 10 tnd for locals, 12 for algerians, 18 for other souls.

Waited for just over 2 hours for a lift on a Friday morning, trying two different signs - M11s / SOUTH. 2 cars stopped before but were heading the wrong way. Good flow of traffic but very few heading onto the M11 southbound, only 1 car every 30s took the junction. People tend to use J12 higher up to leave Cambridge, although harder to find somewhere to stand.

Got a ride in less than 5 minutes but felt we got very lucky. This is very small lay-by on the side of the roundabout intended for police vehicles. Have to target traffic coming round the roundabout as those from the close exit would have used the slip road (from M25 N). Drivers are held at traffic lights so gives them a good chance to see you.

Got to make the most of the crossing if your ride isn't taking you in the direction you'd like and you really want to avoid being left in Calais if possible, not good options from there. You only have half an hour so as soon as the train sets off start along all the carriages. Everyone's asked to put their windows down so extremely easy to chat to people. We got a ride all the way to Barcelona over two days so couldn't have worked better.

This seems like the best spot for going south out of Duluth. There are plenty of cars taking that ramp and there is space for them to pull over. I took the city bus from the north side of Duluth near Brighton Beach to about 3 blocks from here. I could imagine it taking a lot longer than 25 minutes to get a ride because in my experience, the hitchhiking between the Twin Cities and Duluth can be difficult at times.

Headed north. Not the best spot in the world, but far from the worst. Drivers slow down for the bend and have good enough time to see you and there's enough room to safely pull over on either side of the road. Majority of people going north take this route out of town. 

Waited 4 hours, for a total of 10 hours over 2 days trying to get out of this town. By some miracle the coolest Dutch woman ever came by and stopped for us and drove us all the way to Perpignan, saving us from this hitchhiking hell they call Spain. We got very very lucky. Save your sanity and take a bus or rideshare with BlaBlaCar or fly out of the country. Hitchhiking Spain is a nightmare. If you want to make more than 50km a day and not wait 3+ hours every time, you gotta hit it lucky with a non-spaniard.

It was the first time when we waited more than 10 minutes in Sumatra. Probably the spot wasn't good enough, cars were passing by too fast to break, so we had to change a few spots until we finally made it. To get to this junction from Padang Pajang you can simply take the small local minibus for 5000 rupiah (the one with an open door).

Not much traffic, they slow down for the toll booth. There's plenty of room to stop.  Waited 4 1/2 hours in the rain, 2 cars stopped for us, but where going in the other direction. After that no one stopped for hours. Gave up and walked to Troyes.

There is a big place to pull over in front of the snack shop and the traffic is slowed by a roundabout, seemed like a very good spot, but cars kept parking in the pullover and blocking it, then staring at me like I'm doing somthing insane. One guy came out and sat there watching me for half an hour :/

 I counted over 400 cars driving past. Eventually got picked up by an old greek dude who spoke nothing but greek and refused my attempts to use google translate. Admittedly I'm a lone male with a giant beard which probably didn't help things, but it still felt more hitchiker unfriendly than most places despite the perfect road conditions. But hey, did get out of there!

the first car that drove past pricked me up, both up and down. Met a couple who had also hitchiked up. Seems like on this little mountain road people become more hitchiker friendly. One car was greek, the other Austrians. There where very few cars so You can hitchiker in the middle of the road.

There was space, but all the truck drivers seemed to hate me. eventually a bus driver slowed a little and rubbed his fingers, implying money. it was getting dark, and 10 euros was enough to get to thesaloniki. With paitiance I'm sure you could do it, but the vibe was not great. bus driver only spoke bulgarian. Knowing the word for how much (kolku) was all that was needed. woman on the bus quickly came forward to be a translator to english.

Arriving from Budapest, we got dropped off by a truck just before the border. The border police was not amused about our attempt to walk across the border and our following intention of hitching after the controls to get to Timisoara. They told us to ask the Flixbus that was parked there, and the Flixbus picked us up and took us to Timisoara. I think the border police would also have been okay for us to ask the cars queuing for the passport check. So it's a dodgy spot, but for us it turned out well.

Excellent spot for entering the countryside, but not necessarily worth the risk of going through this area of France, pretty much exclusively local traffic who will only be going very short distances, and very few cars at that. I live in this area and have seen many hitchhikers end up stranded from the lack of vehicles.
I'd only recommend getting in a car going at minimum to Villefranche de Rouergue if hitching west from here.
Personally found a man heading to cahoots very quickly however. 
Would all prove a great spot for heading south to Albi or Toulouse via the opposite junction roundabout at the exit of Baraqueville.

2nd day of Easter (April 2024), a 70 minutes wait and a 422km ride to Kløfta (close to Oslo).
To get there take a local train to Lundamo stasjon, this is the last station to which you use a single ticket (46 NOK) valid in transportation zone A. At that point you are well visible and right by the E6 motorway, cars go 50 km/h and there is a large shoulder for drivers to pull over. I used a sign and my thumb.
This spot is perfect because all the town and very local Trondheim-traffic is already filtered out.

The least worst place to get to PARIS/LE MANS
Getting to Paris from Rennes is a real challenge because there's no good place to hitchhike. I put up a "PEAGE LA GRAVELLE" sign and someone picked me up after 1 hour. 
Position yourself on the roundabout before the exit to the ring road, there's plenty of room to stop.

Ok spot to go to PARIS or RENNES
This spot is quite special because people who take the toll can go east or west, there is a carpool area next to it to ask directly if you are in trouble.
If you're going to Paris, it's best to persuade someone who opens their window at the toll to drop you off at the Aire de La Sarthe-Sargé Le Mans (10min motorway).

Very good spot to go to France

From Turin, it's better to take the bus to Rivoli and walk to the station rather than try to hitchhike elsewhere. The fence around the station is bent to the west and you can walk in without any problems. Be careful not to stick out your thumb as the police fined the young woman who did so; it's better to ask people directly when they stop to take a break,
A gentleman took us to the border in a few minutes.

This is not a good place to head west, if you're heading towards Rennes, you'd better stop on the right of the town in the direction of Le Mans, if you're heading towards Angers, you can ask at the traffic lights if they can drop you off at the Jardins de Villandry service area 15km further on.
Taken in 30 min, then drive to Nantes

Wait with a big sign on the lawn after the Hungarian border control. So people can already see you/read the sign when their passports get checked. Great spot with space behind to park. Got a direct lift to Budapest with sign. A lot of people are probably afraid of taking a possible refugee and getting into problems. I think a creative sign could help, people have enough time to read it. Many German and Austrian cars.

Towards Bangko, Jambi, and further. Pretty easy to hitch to this turn from the city. A few cars were passing by, but maybe the third one stopped for us and it was a family going all the way to Jambi. We dropped off at Sarolangun. Once again make sure you have no intention to pay beforehand. Although we spoke a lot with the driver about what we do and how we travel, In the end, the driver asked me to pay 400k for 2 people which seems a lot for such a ride, and I managed to bargain until 200k.

We got a direct ride to Jakarta from here. To get to this spot from the city take a yellow minibus "ampera — karya jaya", it's shown on the google maps as well, and it's correct. Say the driver you need simpang kramasan. The only thing that after 5 minutes of standing there, the annoying cop appeared and wanted us to leave from this turn to the main road. We didn't do it though and just walked down away from him a little, he only seemed confused. Gladly we got our ride after a few minutes.

A bit confusing place, there is a lot of space so asking around is a challenge and if you wait at the exit with a sign, people are already speeding up making it less likely to stop. People can speed up to the exit from 2 sides and hard to catch both. In the end, I gave up catching trucks and went for cars at the petrol station directly, probably a good decision.

The street must have been suspended throughout the time. It was completely abandond. Not one car in 30 min. Only Busses leaving the parking place just beneath the street. Don't try it here.
There is a possibility to get to the next Service Station Aire de Limours with public transport and a 30 minutes walk and a fence (easy to climb). Sounds like an effort but is probably the best way to get out of the city.

Even though it was March evening almost sunset there were kind of lot of cars. They are going slowly and like the fifth car took us. It was a truck so we sat in the back <3 (get used to it in Greece/balkans). I would recommend weekends during season since it is popular beach.

Very few cars. Started walking while hitchhiking our way to Chania and we managed to get like 3 really short rides with a sign “1km” but they really helped. Cars are going slowly almost all along the road since it is hilly and a lot of serpentines.

First we (me and husband) stood there with a sight to Landshut for 40minutes and nobody would take us, then we figured that it was a bad spot to go to the south as the resting-station is very near the city and also going to the wrong direction for us. When we decided to try and get just a lift to some random better stop we signaled just with our thumbs and within 5 minutes someone took us a few kilometers south to a better spot (to “Pendlerparkplatz Bad Abbach”)

The station exit is an awful place to hitch, cars don't have much space to stop, and the sound barrier wall is too short so you hear the very loud highway. Better skip it and go to the highway entrance just north of here.

Took the train to Berg, it's a 10 minute wal from the station and relatively easy to enter the gas station area. There i asked around and got a ride to vienna in a unbelievable 1 minute waiting time from the first person i asked.

Left Barcelona by train u told Castellbisbal, then walked 20 min, and just arriving the gas station the first truck driver I asked picked me up towards València. Best possible way to leave Barcelona going south. When you leave the train station, you'll have to cross the train tracks (not the ones you came from, the other of the fast train) you can do so by going under, I found water and I crossed the road by the highway bridge. The easier way is to pass by the bridge like cars do and take the dirt road towards it.

Went to Monaco, but on the way the driver recommended me to go to the mountain overlooking Monaco first, so he let me out there, but would've been possible to go to Monaco ville also. Be early, as people who work in Monaco leave nice early, to avoid parking problems. I waited after a curve, where cars go slow and could see me easily, behind me was a bike lane and a bus stop where they could stop.

Going from Terjit to Tidjikja during ramadan I came to the police checkpoint. After a short dispute with the policemen he understood i wanna hitchhike but didnt let me, instead of it he hitchhiked for me. He got me a free ride in a truck. Was a nice ride, just had to keep watching the driver who was falling asleep cause of fasting in 40 degrees. The fact i got in with a help of police made passing further checkpoints easier (they called the terjit checkpoint to verify). The road to Tidjikja is paved and mostly in a good condition, but it was nearly empty (maybe also due to ramadan and off main turistic season time). With the truck it took like 8 hours.

A police checkpoint, again the police does the job for you. The police in Tidjikja is friendly and had no problem with me camping wild and hitchhiking. Sadly i had some brain failure when the policemen stopped a minubus and said this one goes to Nouakchott for 800, i just took it. I consider it as a mistake, but the fact is that up until Sangrave the road was deserted. If you are in a hurry you can take a bus to there and then continue hitchhiking. But also, there are beautifull places around Nbeika and Moudjeria, huge sand dunes, you might just want go there and call it a day there ;)

Best times to ask around are very early in the morning when people go buy breakfast at the bakery and at sunset.

Once have been "dropped" at the OMV station, it was no longer possible for the two of us to hitchhike on the A93 towards Regensburg. The busy road is fenced all the way around and crossing it would be very dangerous. The driveway is also leading in many directions from there what makes it difficult to hitchhike with a sign. Through a conversation, we were able to get a lift to the McDonald's on the opposite side of the road and continue from there.

I wanted to hitchhike towards Diama border crossing but then i saw that bus with people sitting on a roof and i didnt want to miss my chance for this experience especially when the guy said it costs 2000 senegalese francs, which is like 3 euros. At the end of the ride i realised he ment 10000 (fuck french, srsly), but he got 7500 (guess i still overpaid). Well it was a nice safari, i saw acrocodille, monkeys, wild pigs. But also had to pay 200 MRU for the national park as a white skin tax. If you have a chance just hide yourself at the checkpoint. The road was in a good shape and with some trafgic till Keur Macene, then it was an unpaved road with traffic tgat seems mostly consisting of buses and taxis. But you might be lucky.  I'd just be nervous about getting stuck in this area over night cause of the crocodilles.

Direction--->everywhere
Slow cars and vans from the ships/cruises are about to start their journey, most of them smiled or waved at me. Also those driving from "parking north" (opposite the ship i was in) pass by here. As less long-range drivers and tourists pass by there, I don't think the yellow northern spot on this hitch-map could be more strategic.
If the lane on the right is closed, you can stand and wait. Just be respectful of traffic and police will tell you nothing. Some tourists asked me for info and wished me good luck.
Nearby buses regularly connect the train station. 9:30am to Vatican and Rome.
A very young guy took me to Rome after 2h when i hid my sign to Rimini, however i could have waited longer for a further ride.

April 2022. After a whole year travelling across Turkey and learning how to become a nomad while waiting for Iranian border to re-open as well as escaping pandemic, after a whole winter in Georgia. Finally i came again to Doğubeyazıt and got a relaxing ride by a truck. I was so excited and speechless that i even fell asleep on the way to Gürbülak. You have to leave the car and walk through the border, that's quicker. I found the same truck on the other side and they hosted me in Marand.

A good spot to pull over. We hitchhiked here twice (in March 2024 and February 2023), and in both instances, we waited for about 45 minutes. The waiting time heavily depends on the time of day. It's one of the places in the desert region of Morocco where we waited the longest for a ride. Nevertheless, we had some of the most memorable hitchhiking experiences here in Morocco (with a film producer heading to a Netflix film set in the middle of nowhere and with a super lovely Moroccan couple heading towards Zagora very late in the evening).

A small gas station with not a lot of traffic and many people don't go far. Nonetheless, there are some tourists on this route and we (2) ended up finding a ride within 30 minutes or so to Murcia (could have gone further to Cartagena and continued the next day with them to Málaga).
In the end we decided to visit Málaga and take a BlaBlaCar from there.
The A7 is challenging to hitch-hike, because there are very very few service stations. If there are any, they are often off the highway. Had we not found a ride straight to Murcia, I think we might have been stuck there.
However, if you want to go further (Granada, Málaga), try to find a ride that takes you at least to Granada. This will be hard to find, but probably worth it.

It took us about an hour to find a ride here. We tried both, standing with a sign at the road and asking around at the gas station. In the end, asking around worked, but there is a lot of local traffic! Try to find somebody to get you onto the highway, then take it from there.
Standing with a sign didn't work at all for us. Cars are very fast and it's hard for them to stop. I think it can work, but probably the gas station is the safer way to find a ride.

I came here by direct bus from Camerino 3€ via Contram app. Don't follow GMaps, no one crosses Albacina. A lot of viewability + space to stop, no police. It's legal to hitch here. To Rome, Fabriano west works better.

Narrow toll entrance road, illegal to stop after the roundabout, carpooling happens on the exit side of the toll booth. If you stand at the roundabout, then you miss the cars coming from Urbino.

We tried to hitchhike a ferry to sweden which is possible but not super easy from here. We were standing in front of the check in gates. Cars are waiting  in line there so you can talk to the people if they take you. We asked the employees of Stenna lines ferry company and they told us that the number of passengers matter and people were also showing their passports to them. So it seemed like that with stenna lines it does not work. to hitchhike. But maybe the workers did not really say true and if you would come to the gate already in a car that you hitched maybe it is not a problem to change the number of passengers without aditional fee. But they said you need to pay extra for more passengers.
Second ferry company TT lines had no workers on the gates so people were doing self check in on a machine. So even though they also have number of passengers in their ticket they could take you since there is no one to check it. We did not really found willing drivers though.
You could also try to just walk around the gates and directy to the parking where cars wait for the ferry. It seems doable to sneak around but we did not try. You could also try to come with a bike, sneak around the gates and jsut drive on a bike to the ferry with the cars. It depends how much they watch the cameras at the gates.
The check in gates for going to Denmark are directly next to the ones for sweden so after a while of trying for sweden we gave up and took a lift just to denmark. On the ferry to denmark the number of passengers does not matter so it is an easy thing to do.

The review on the north side pin is really accurate! The gate on the south side was open when i came, showers are working either at the petrol station and downstairs the restaurant on this side.
İ tried my first solo tablediving here thanks to a cute american family sitting next to me wasting a big rice mozzarella dish.
Nearly 10 drivers stopped but they all were going north, a truck driver polish lady came to offer me food, a man stopped just to show me his drum while i was playing mine :D i really didn't wish to leave this service station however after 5 hours waiting for a ride to east (Rimini) i gave up 7pm and accepted the next ride offer.

Used this location prior to the disassembly of the oasis (highway overpass rest-stop). Knocked on semi-truck doors until someone offered a ride.  Gas stations still exist here, so maybe still an option, but most likely less trucks now.

Good spot, there were many people on holidays driving to Split or coming from the coast driving towards Zagreb. Mc Donald's and gas station is seperated in the two parts to the directions, cars can't cross that line, people can, so you immediately know who drives in which direction. Sunday noon there weren't many people towards Rejika, though after some hours a business man took us directly to Rejika. (he stopped the car in the middle of the highway in Rejika and told us to leave the car to get to a bus station from there.. *wtf*!?)

Ha ha ha, what should I say, guys? Last time I wrote that this spot is not convenient, and the next time after 20 mins wait (around 7.45 pm) a car from the main road pulled over. The car was going to Trondheim, my final destination. 
Maybe I was lucky that day. But as an experienced hitch-hiker I would technically avoid this spot. I suggest Elverum roundabout which is more convenient and all the traffic is the same.

After that I resigned myself to stop off at Bratislava. I tried a few spots, but in the end that one worked in about 10 minutes. About 50 metres down the pavement from the bills. I think it is not too difficult to hitch to Slovakia from here but I would NOT recommend for Budapest.

The place seems good to hitchhike but yet I waited a long moment before I was driven to a highway gas station about 20km from there. Lots of place to stop but apparently didn't work so good. 
Bus to get there from center of Bordeaux is 31 (also may connect with Tram B), and easy to access. Only issue is that the bus stop is just before both directions for the highway, so probably many people go the other direction.
Also (and finally), I had a sign saying "España", which might have been too ambitious, Bayonne/Arcachon probably makes it more realistic

This spot just doesn't work. The cars cannot stop along the whole road. The south side of this highway access is much better, however it takes some time to cross the highway (it's forbidden and rather dangerous to cross via this bridge, so you have to use the other bridge in the west).

Somehow, we managed to being picked up on the parking lot, but this was pure luck and the person just dropped us at the next highway exit (Matran) which we can really recommend.

A great spot with lots of traffic. Drivers can stop at the petrol station and the small jams at the round-about allowes direct communication. We used the spot during the 10th Swiss Hitchhiking Championship and got a ride to Bulle.

The large shopping center (a new one just opened its doors as we stopped here) may bring some local traffic to this spot, which may be a plus for medium distances.

Great spot for hitchhiking towards Ostrava, there is a bus stop as well as a petrol station. Consider moving along so that there is enough space for the cars to pull over - there is a red light directly next to the bus stop. Can be good because the drivers see you, but when it's green light the cars pass by quite quickly.

Very easy spot to leave Pesaro without going far away. I started hitchhiking here to play music in the streets of Rimini recently and got 5 rides in less than 10 minutes - especially in the mid-afternoon with less traffic. A lady even turned back at the roundabout to pick me up in the morning. They averagely dropped me in Cattolica or Misano as furthest.
Compared to drivers in next towns, people here are more smiley, reactive and interested in conversation. Still, they'll go out of their way, like a girl who drove 30 more kms just to exchange ideas.
Come here by bus 30, 130, 14 (direct) or CS (10 minutes walk).

It took a while to find a ride here, but eventually I managed to get to Jerez from here. The driver was a gardener who was working for one of the hotels in the area, really friendly dude who dropped me off at a great spot to continue to Sevilla.
I was there in early June, so many of the holiday homes were still preparing for the season. Maybe your chances are better (or worse, I can't tell), in high season, as there will be much more people.

You should NOT hitchhike here. First there is always heavy traffic on this road and the cars have very little space to stop so it is dangerous.

Second: car at this spot goes to very different directions. Some will take the highway, some will go to north some to east.

It is an extremely inpractial spot. You should go couple hundred meters to east either to the highway intersection (if you'll go towards Budapest or Debrecen) or to over the big roundabout under the bridge.

Honestly I have no idea why people would use this spot.

Maybe it was because I didn’t knew how to catch a truck, but I had hard time hitching for a ride in the morning aswell, and at the end I stood with a sign and thumb at the exit to catch cars that have filled their tanks and cars that only pass here to cut the line off the main road.

This is an amazing gas station for:
Murcia, elche, alicante and almansa!

There’s a big gas station and big parking area with a few restaurants.
I got here and found a truck for elche in no time. There’s a considerable amount of people coming and leaving.

The only trucks that will go to valencia from here are trucks that had to unload in a place nearby before so it’s less common.
To get to valencia, this isn’t so good as you might think, because the main highway for valencia is up north.
You can try your luck hitching from here to valencia, or you can hitch a ride from here to 12km AFTER almansa where you have the *most amazing* service station in which you can get a lot of rides to valencia and even to Barcelona.

This is maybe the best gas station in the area.
It’s open 24h and has a (great) restaurant. It is super known and frequented by trucks. There’s also a fair amount of tourists that do 100km+ rides. The trucks literally stand in line for you.
A lot of trucks go to valencia.
People do go to Gandia from here, also trucks, but you’ll need to search for it.

I haven’t been to the other side of the highway but it seems identical for those going west.

Eventually a couple from Andorra (approached!!) to pick me up to valencia.

I am here again and it's exactly the same like it was in october. After an hour, four cars offered a lift to the north, but no one is going south. But the people are really friendly, one person even came up to us from the parking lot to offer us a lift.

I standed just behind the petrol station. But there are more spots around (bus stop, Coop supermarket entrance, traffic lights). It's the last safe place in the town (in direction Passau/Vimperk). The other is possibly at Milisterfer (4 x 1427 crossing), but there is no sidewalk.

I have left from this spot SO many times. Best way to go North out of the valley. Take the lightrail all the way east to Gilbert Rd. Take the Gilbert Rd bus (doesn't run Sundays) all the way north. Walk about two more miles to where Gilbert road ends. Guaranteed rides, no cop harassment. Everyone is going at least to Fountain Hills, a good half the traffic is heading to Payson or beyond. I have started trips to Flagstaff, Payson, Chinle, Moab, Las Vegas, Santa Fe, and more from this spot. Worth it to take this highway over the I-17 any day.  Wait times tend to be short.

was waiting with a sign "Kavala" (in greek) on the small road which goes to the highway. Not that many cars but they were slow and there was plenty of space to stop. Not a single car stopped.

after trying to get a ride to kavala at another spot, I went there with public transportation. Probably most of the cars didn't go to Kavala. Cars were going fast, didnt get a lot of reactions from the drivers and no car stopped even though there was so much space. After an hour of trying at that spot a big thunderstorm came and I decided to give up. There was a electronic shop with nice employees which gave me shelter from the storm and provided me with drinks and cigarettes <3

The spot is good but there are lots of people going to Nicea. It's really the best spot to get a ride to Italy or to the east because there aren't really any other spots that are closer to the border.
Do not settle for a ride to Nicea or Monaco if you want to get to Italy because there arent any more stations on the highway later on until Italy.
We didn't see much succes on the gas station itself but we got a ride to Milan with a trucker from the parking. There are lots of trucks going far.
The service is very nice and you can power your phones and other devices in many places in the station. There is also a lot of space with tables and chairs on the outside to cook and eat.
If u dont manage to get a ride until the sunset, there is a good place to sleep behind the station by the revolving door in the bushes. It's hidden from the bigger road but seen from the smaller road on which there are almost no cars. To get there you have to get around an old fence. No need for a tent because there are almost no mosquitos. The station closes at 2 am and opens at 3am so when we asked they told us we can sleep on the couch or somewhere in the inside of a station but u would have to leave at 2am and wait an hour and u can come back at 3am.

After hitchiking for like 3 hours from the other bus station (Karl-Huber-gasse), we decided to go to this one (Dr.-Lister-gasse) a Slovenian guy stopped. There is a lot of space for cars to stop in the bus lane and it is probably the only convenient spot to leave Graz towards south. Good luck!

This is definitely a better way how to get to maribor from this area, because many slovenians take the old road instead of the highway. We got picked up by the first car, but maybe we were just lucky. To get there you just have to walk a little bit down from the gas station, like 5 minutes.

2 people, a girl and a boy. 
We tried it with a sign at the end of the gas station, but it was too late and it was a thursday evening, so not a lot of cars. After 1 hour of trying we asked a croatian couple to give us a ride and they did, all the way to Rijeka. Also a tip: if you want to sleep in Rijeka, try the beach. definitely the best spot. The one we slept on is the Glavanovo beach, there is a lot of stairs to get there so no poeple want to go there at night and you have your own personal shower and swimming pool in the morning! Also locals don't care about people sleeping on the beach.

Only one car stopped and they took us to a complete nowhere village on the way to Zagreb, when we wanted to go down south through Jadranska Magistrala. It is probably a good place if you want to go to Zagreb, but if you prefer the old road, it is best to take a bus out of the center and hitch hike from there.

2 people, a boy and a girl. We were on our way to Zadar through the jadranska Magistrala and we could't get out of rijeka, so we took a bus to this station and tried from there. It is not the best one, but it works to go south.

2 people, a boy and a girl. We started around 10 am on saturday morning and we got picked up by a local woman who drove us to Šmrika.  There is a parking lot for the people who come to the beach so cars have a lot of space to stop. Mostly locals go through there, so you mostly move just a few km, but it's enough.

We got very lucky because we got picked up by an amazing guy who was going all the way to zadar and he even bought us ice-cream on the way and took us all the way to our campsite. shout out to Niko!

A couple (boy + girl). We were on our way to Split, so we had a sign for Split (SI) and Šibenik (SI). We waited a long time but eventually got lucky because we got picked up by a great older couple who were going to Šibenik. It was late so we asked to be dropped in Pirovac, because there was a better chance to find a place to wildcamp.

This place is okay, because there is a lot of space for the cars to stop (it's a bus stop, those are the best). Sign to ŠI/ST (šibenik/Split)
We got picked up by a guy going all the way to Split, but he needed to do something in Šibenik, so he left us at a restaurant and promised to come back for us and he didn't. It was quite shitty, but he helped us a lot and he was nice. Lesson learned: always take a phone number if you agree on something like that.

Once again, bus stops proved to be the most succesful. We were 2 people (boy+girl) and got a ride to Split in like 10 minutes. Sign to Split. If you're going to Zagreb, ask to be dropped at the Mall of Split, it's easy to hitchhike from there.

Most cars are going to the highway from 2 directions, so it's the best chance to get out of Split. We got picked up after 1 hour and 30 minutes by a guy going to Sinj, so additionaly you can do a sign for Sinj and then asked to be left at Dugopolje, where you can hitchhike from the tolls. We had a sign to Zagreb, but people know what to do.

This is definitely the best way to get to Zadar/Zagreb fast, but you have to wait a long time or be lucky. If you wait long enough, you can be sure you will get there, since there is basically nowhere else to go from here. We waited 2 hours but it paid off, cause we got a ride all the way to Zagreb.

This place is probably good if you're feeling heroic enough, because it is extremely dangerous. there is like 5 lanes from both directions and cars are going very fast from both sides. If you're going south, it's probably good, but we were trying for Hungary and we weren't even brave enough to cross the road to get there. We decided to take a bus (and tram and then another bus) to Sesvete and start from there.

This place is probably your best chance to leave Zagreb in direction of Hungary. We waited for  1 hour, but eventually one guy stopped and took us to Varaždin. That's where you should aim with your sign - there is a gas station there to try from.
The stickers from hitchhikers are not there anymore. But it's funny because you're hitchiking directly from under the no autostop sign. Croatians are mostly picking up hitchhikers, but it all depends on the time of day and your direction.

It's a gas station, so you have to ask people. We tried hitchhiking for 1 hour and then we asked some czech people (we're also czech) to take us and they were also going to lake Balaton. We got beer and they eventually stayed in the same camp as we did so it was a lot of fun. I always hesitate to ask people but it's usually fruitful, so don't be afraid! the worst that can happen is that they say no and you will never see them again.

A good place if you're heading north (CZ/SK/Wien) but there is mostly locals and not enough tourists. We got lucky and got a ride to the border. Unfortunately it was too late in the evening so we decided to take a train from Hegyeshalom to Wien (nobody went to check out tickets there so we rode for free lol).
We had a sign for CZ/SK, but I think Wien or Bratislava would be better if you're going to Czechia (Brno).

(Direction Bilbao) Some police officer suggested me and my friend this place after telling us that the gas station was too dangerous (the gas station I talk about is the one with many reviews). Although this, the place kinda sucks. Just a lot of internal traffic close to a mall. We waited for a long time till someone told us that it wasn’t a great idea to hitchhike there and brought us back to the city. We waited both with the thumb and with a sign.

A local recomended this spot towards slovenia, croatia and italy. Its a tram stop so there is a place to sit. If you stand before The crosswalk people can easily see you and stop at the bus stop behind. We have wanted for maybe 20 min with sign slovenia ( around 17:00 on thuesday) and a very nice lady picked us up and took to Maribor. Seems like a lot of people go this way from graz to Maribor.

I tried to hitchhike here because the spot looked promising on Google Street View, and in fact, there were a lot of cars going in the direction of the A2. But I didn't get lucky and ended up changing spots.
Perhaps, if the stars align, you can get lucky here. At least the cars are slow and have space to stop before the traffic light.

You can’t hitchhike to Yamagata on this road. It’s the city centre and all the cars use the middle and 3rd lanes to go to Yamagata, and drive fairly fast. After this point shortly the road goes underground and there’s no other spot other than inside the city. I found it impossible to hitchhike, took the bus to Yamagata for 1200 ten.

I had luck with an exceptionally nice man who took me to a great CESPA gas station located on the c16 which has traffic that goes to Andorra.

If you’re headed to Andorra and found a hitch to Manresa you’d better ask the driver to stop in the gas station I described - area de servicio monserat.
There’s usually multiple cars a day going straight to Andorra. (Especially after 9-10)

This is a tricky spot for andorra.
I’ve been here at the evening and slept here and at the morning got a hike almost to andorra.

I’ve talked a few hours with the staff, this is my reconnoissance findings:

Multiple cars a day are Andorrans going straight to andorra. Mainly in the morning 9-14.
Spaniards also go here to Andorra.

If you’ll be patient, you’ll find a hike to Andorra. It’s also easy to go to manresa, but if you go to andorra you shouldn’t waste this place.

There’s woods right in front you can sleep there.

The staff at the gas station are super useful. If you see Oscar tell him Yuval sends hello!

You get a lot of traffic going different direction —north towards Aarhus, east towards Copenhagen or South towards Germany. I got a lot of people indicating they wanted to help but went another way.

Cars rather turn onto the parallelic road next to the highway, and for some reason if they don't, they don't consider picking you up. Seems like a slow, nice spot, but at the end it wasn't for us. We left and started hitchike a few hundres meters away where we instantly got picked up.

Firstly we tried to hitchhike on the A7, in the bus stop, it seemed impossible so we started walking to this roundabout and we instantly got picked up. It was a good idea because people from San Roque leave the city here. Travelled to Algeciras. (our sign said Tarifa i guess)

I got a ride pretty quickly. Would agree that the spot might not be perfect — not that much traffic unless you go to the roundabout. Also, the people stopping at McDonalds seem to be going in other directions than Amsterdam. My luck came from the direction of the hotel, where someone was heading towards the city.

Worst case there is a train station close to it, so you can easily get into the city if you are not lucky.

Got very lucky at this spot. Didn’t even start raising my thumb, I was checking out the area and the speed of the cars first, and a man who was filling up his car with some gas saw with my backpack and directly asked me where I was going. I was going to Strasbourg and he left me in Haguenau, which is near. Looks like the people who are filling up gas are going into further directions, so it’s important to catch their attention and even go ask them directly.

Okay I waited a long time, but I was trying to avoid paris as much as possible to head to britanny. It was on a Sunday morning, 7h to 9h, very few cars. My plans was to head to the station on the A10. Many people going to Paris of course. After 2h20min I got a ride to rennes and further ! noiiiice. Overall I would say that it's a decent station to avoid Paris. MY ADVICE: know your way and don't hesitate to refuse rides. It might sound challenging but it can be definitely worth it, you don't want to be stuck in Paris area.

Wonderful view, calm border with almost only trucks. Came from Kars, got a truck ride in Çildir, walked to the gas station where the tir parking guys do speak Turkish + Georgian so they can help you. Only 3 cars in a hour so better to ask truck drivers! Got a ride by a tractor carrying hay they took me to collect more hay uphill and showed me the first village, while a fourth car of dutch tourists filmed us from behind.

REMINDER * if you go to Tbilisi, trucks drive the Akhaltsikhe-Borjomi-Kashuri way as the Tsalka route is not allowed to them. So you can first go to Ninontsminda and then hitch to Tbilisi or Armenia.

Btw the view is priceless and makes you wanna stay for hours
