In total I spent 3 hours at the previous bus stops and the gas station. Probably because of the Meetup of the European leaders in Split today.―LJIsTooShort

On my way to Zagreb, thru Zadar.Got few offers, mostly to Trogir or some city nearby.
Finally gave up and took next offer to Trogir direction - lady running Taxi Kate picked me up to Plano as it's on the way to highway/pay tools.
Good spot, but better to try the Mall of Split next time.
There is a shade possible. A place for cars to stop.
Traffic lights nearby - cutting the flow and speed of cars + cars going from left side (hard for them to see you, yet two stopped).
Tree to rest the back pack against.
Got there by bus to the Solin - Sirina 1 (3E ticket).
As possibly no one will leave the bus there, remember to press 'STOP' button or else the bus will go without opening the doors. The 'STOP' both stop the bus if no one is on the stop and also it's for opening the doors.
There is a utility road nearby so few cars will stop to cut the road across pathway, but not for you.

I got dropped there because of miscommunication with driver, my bad.The place is directly road, there is place to stop, but cars going really fast, 3 lines, no shade, hot af, no traffic lights.
Don't repeat my mistake, try to get out instead in this order (if going for Zagreb, Zadar for example):
- near Mall of Split (few km from here on the same road, it's on HWM already, from here to the highway - most of the traffic leaving city this way)
Less favorable spots:
- on the Solin (crossroad, shade, nice place to stop, traffic light)
- or if driver is going thru Split, try before Trogir, on road to Plano (from here are the tools and highway) - this is on way to airport.
I took the bus (it's bus stop) to the bus main station and from here to Solin - Sirina 1.
That is near big crossroad (it's spot already on HWM as well).
You must jump out of bus because the bus may not going directly to the bus main station (watch the map!), walk across the road, 5-10 minutes.
The next bus (possibly no. 2, 37) is going from platform at the opposite end of the bus place from the direction you'll get there.
There is no sign for bus numbers unfortunately, badly designed station.
But it's the bus that is going to airport or near the airport (end station often Trogir) as well, so there'll crowd of people with luggage.
On that stop possibly no one will leaving the bus - so you must press the 'STOP' button to open the doors.
(They have no dedicated button for opening just the doors.)
The ticket costing 3E and is valid for quite a while (45min? can't recall) so both from here and to the spot is doable on one ticket. I have been checked for the ticket twice, on both lines, so wouldn't suggest an attempt for blackriding.

On my way to Zagreb, got an offer to nearby city and the second driver took me to Split.I stood before the bus stop, there is place for cars to stop, no shade.
Low traffic (weekend and end of the season).
Walked there from city center for swimming on nearby beach (there is a pathway connecting the beach sections after Galeb camp).
Croatia have on Sunday almost all shops closed so had to visit one opened bakery and gas station for water.
Otherwise there are some spots before this one.

On my way to Croatia, direction Zagreb.Got few offers, not far away or to the different direction (Dubrovnik).
Finally guy picked me, straight ride to Omis (really nice place, coastline, worth to visit for a day).
I stood not on gas station, some 100m before - just after the roundabout.
It's with space to stop for car on the line to gas station.
No shade, but quite windy all the time (they have windmill park nearby, could see the blades rotating).
I walked there from train station - just to see the Mostar.
(The train is going, as of now, only once per day, so if you jump out, there is no same day ride to Ploce. Only back to Sarajevo.)
Basically it's straight road all the way from train station to here, no navigation needed.
Took me some 3 hrs to see it all and thumbing here.
It's only 45 min by walk from the famous bridge (with big backpack).
But there is public transport also that could get you close.
Circa 1 km nearby, before this place, is a field with no buildings and there were few stray dogs, so I waited before they departed out of my way.

Police didn’t really like what we were trying to do and was talking about breaking the law. We talked a bit with him and how we already did it in the rest of Croatia and in the end he was fine. We stood after the toll booth, there is lots of space to pull over. Got a ride half the distance to Mostar.―viviii

Waited around 40 minutes without any cars stopping. Switched spot but ended up coming back to try again and got picked up after ten minutes all the way to split. We stood after the toll booth bc there is a lot of space to pull over but many cars are just speeding up right after the toll booths.―viviii

Loads of space for cars to pull over if you are going south/split, little shade tho. Also good amount of traffic, after 20 minutes we (2 guys) had a ride to split. Used split sign―GoFi

Great spot to get out!Was trying to get to Mostar but failed and ended up Makarska.. maybe the Highway is the better choice
