I found a ride to Thônex, right before Genève, but waited for 40min - I think most of the people passing don't drive as far as Genève or go south to Annecy.You can wait under the trees in the shadows and there's a good place to stop on the right. The cars also drive slowly because of the traffic from the people turning left to the gas station.

be fast and discreet to get to the spot at the money exchange building.I wasn't (waving at the cars on my way there), and a Swiss police dude came to say it was forbidden to hitchhike there ('cause supposedly its a highway), and that I had no choice but to walk away to the nearest town (where I d be screwd, since I wanted to stick to the highway on my way to Portugal).
luckily, I asked the truck drivers waiting at the douane park, and one took me.
even if people don't go further than Annecy, take a ride to the nearby rest station Aire des Pont-de-la-caille (there is no gas station until Annecy), where it should be easy to find people going further.

This is the best spot towards chamonix, but very little traffic going out of the city in the morning on weekdays, people mostly drive towards chamonix in weekends. I went to the speedbump at one point but after some time the border control came over and asked me to move further away so i recommend just staying at the round "no pedestrians" sign.―Frederik

Très bon spot, les voitures peuvent très bien s'arrêterUn pu d'attente tout de même et beaucoup de chance car des locaux allant à Bonneville nous ont amené jusqu'à Samoëns

I just landed in Geneva Airport and tried to get BlaBlaBus to Grenoble, but it got canceled :/So I just found this spot on Google maps and decided to give it a try. There's enough space for cars to pull over, but not for trucks. And the road turns directly to the highway.
A lot of French drivers, who work in Geneva and live in France go this way. Took some time but got a great company on the way and it was easier once in France.

Very good spot to go direction Annecy, Lyon. There is a plenty of spot for the car to stop, cars go slow, petrol station is nearby ( you can try to ask people there). Took me less than 30 min to get a ride to Annecy on Sunday morning―estasbien

Got a ride by French-Moldavian couple very fast. First to Chamonix, but then they invited me to stay for a night at their place in Annemasse as it was already dark and my destination was Marseille. It was perfectly on my way and I couldn't resist the offer. What a hospitality!―estasbien

Worked for us even at night and the driver coming home from work in Geneva invited us to his home. Driver was a cook and came back late from his work.―TillWenke

To Lyon, Not the best spot of the area for sure, but I stood on top of the little hill with a sign and pointed out that there is place (which the driver can't see beforehand) for a car to pull over to pick you up, at the entrance of the highway by the roundabout and got a ride direct―Anonymous

Not too much space, but just after customs, so speed is very low. Easy to at least get to the Mt. Blanc tunnel - Walterheck―Anonymous

Need a sign to go to Lyon, cause most of the people are heading to Geneva.A lot are just going to Saint Julien. Go with them and stop at the "rond point" at the exit of the highway, then go to the entrance. All the people at this point might go quite far ;)

I preferred to wait just before the border, by the speed bump, as cars are forced to REALLY slow down there, an dthere is room for them to stop.―Anonymous
