Towards Tartu, don't know why, since the spot looks ideal (low speeds, speeding up lane, as well as good visibility) but for some reason can't ever get cars here, my Estonian antirecord of wait times has been here, even has great street lights for the darker times, but seems like mission impossible, genuinely wait times are 100-250 minutes in here, would probably recommend going to Tartu through Ahja or Mooste road, good luck―Anonymous

Towards Kanepi, low traffic but speeds are slow, not a lot of space to stop for cars but it's fine, wait time of 5-25 minutes expected―Anonymous

Towards Väimela/Võru, rather uncomfortable area as speeds are at 90km/h and there is no real spot around here to stop but due to just about the right amount of density of the traffic, cars are likely to stop, loads of locals going between Põlva and Võru, wait times of 10-25 minutes expected―Anonymous

Towards Värska or Võru, if you have a ride that only takes you to the trainstation area etc, you can try your luck at catching a car on the Põlva roundway, ask for Rosma, if the car is headed to other direction than you, as you would skip Põlva then, decent amount of traffic, a bit uncomfortable for drivers to stop, you can just walk along the road, beware a lot of cars turn to Põlva or to the factories so don't be hesitated by that, i'd only try this at daytime, wait times of 20-60 minutes expected―Anonymous

Bus stop towards Kanepi, locals from Põlgaste will most likely go there so try to aim for them, but most likely one of the first cars will anyways stop, low traffic, wait time of 5-20 minutes expected―Anonymous

Great spot if headed to Põlva or southbound, cars are very slow and lots of bigger villages around this road, don't be scared by its small roadstatus, it still gets decent amount of traffic by estonian standards. (if a car goes to Ahja try to convince them to drop you here), wait time 5-15 minutes―Anonymous

Small road towards Põlva, you'll get a car within 20 minutes but low amount of traffic―Anonymous

Not a lot of traffic headed toward Räpina, might take a long wait if hitching here on not so popular hours, bus stop itself is small and not the most comfiest but over the time you'll get ride―Anonymous

Pretty nice spot if headed towards Tartu, especially cars coming from Vastse-Kuuste, its wide enough there to stop and will work both at summer and winter, wait time of 5-25 minutes―Anonymous

Towards Tartu, not a lot of traffic around here, especially after dark, mediocre lighting, there's cars coming from Mooste, but half of them go the other direction or towards Põlva, wait time of 10-30 minutes―Anonymous
