Hiking north, 2 people m&f with Backpacks. A local took us to Perpignan near A9. There driving a lot locals and tourists, easy to get away from the coast.―Lucky

Worked surprisingly well at night, there is place to stop at the entrance of the roundabout but I can imagine if the road is full it will be harder to manage for the drivers.―TajineMachine

Got dropped here at 9PM, still a bit of traffic, but 80% of the cars went to Narbonne/Montpellier. I got tons of offers. For my first offer to the south I had to wait 60mins. So I would say it's a 4/5 spot towards south but definitely 5/5 for northbound.―TajineMachine

There is a lot of cars some Spanish some from Netherlands but most of them are French so it’s best to know French.First day we could find no one to go with towards Spain so we slept under a trees close to gas station.
Second day we asked for one hour and we met Spanish dudes and they took us close to Perpignan.

Cars have some place to stop and mostly locals, I (one boy) got a ride super fast to Palau del vidre, but Argelès is probably also easy.―Peddy42

The car are going slow and there's space to stop. Good for going into the direction to Spain but probably hard to get in to Spain.―jokndm

Good to go to Collioure, there's space to stop and cars aren't going too fast. The closer to Spain you want to get the hardwr it probably is.―jokndm

The spot is perfect. Shade, slow speeds and good visibility, just not a lot of traffic. Third car that came by picked my up and dropped me right at the bus stop. They were french.―Mandarina787

Pro: plenty of space, gas station and small market. Fairly good traffic both ways.Con: gotta walk 15-20 mins to get here. Cars getting out of Figueres start to speed up and the gas station is not super busy.
Possibly the traffic lights about 500m before this is a better spot.

mother with daughter took us and said that she is going to Barcelona, loud music, windows down, hurricane at back seats, stoped few kilometres behind border in Ia Jonquera and without any speach she went to shop. so did we, the prices were so low, must have, little chaotic, but good vibe after all―kapitan

it serves both directions so it can be tricky, besides fuel is more expensive than in spain. and yet i was picked up by a german whose mother, in another car, needed fuel. there was a lot of people, the spanish were telling me they were unfortunately coming from spain but would take me―andrej
