on était à coté d‘autoroute entre le parking et les barrières au début mais après une heure on a changé la location pour nous poser entre les barrières pour être plus visible.après 30 minutes on a rechanger et il y avait quelqu‘un qui nous a pris:)
Il y a assez de la place pour les voitures mais beaucoup vont vers paris.

There are lots of cars coming by, but I think most of them are going north.We waited quite a while with a sign to Brive/Bordeaux.

Really hard to go north, not much place to stop. :( Easiest is to get to the péage of Gerzat.―Anonymous

Direction : Clermont-FerrandNo so much people stop at this gas station... Try to reach at least the next toll (péage).

TO LYONTram A to "Les Pistes" then continue in the direction out of town, turn right at the big crossing and follow the signs for the Motorway. A71. Stand near the roundabout. Not much space but a car can pull out. I got a lift quickly there to St. Etienne

Directions : Lyon/St-Etienne, Moulins, ParisTake Tram A and stop at "Les Pistes", walk 5 minutes on "Boulevard Edgar Quinet", following "A71" signs. Hitch just after the big roundabout.

Direction : Limoges/BordeauxNot the better spot if there is no gas at the petrol station (I was there during strikes). However, this gas station is the last before leaving Clermont, so it can be possible to ask here.

Descendu ici pour continuer vers Limoges mais peu de trafic, mieux vaut descendre au péage juste avant l'échangeur, un peu plus loin. On s'en sort en abordant les conducteurs.―JB

I waited 1 hour at the toll gate with my dog. A guy picked me up straight to Tours. I was between the way and no employee kicked me out.―Daftbot

A better option than the bus 20 is the bus 33 towards "Saint-Beauzire", it drops you off at the turnaround North-East of here, 600m away (stop "Biopole"). If you're in the center of Clermont you can either pick it up at a stop not far from the Cathedral, or an easier landmark would be the museum Roger Quilliot (confirm the direction with the driver when you board the bus, it's "St-Beauzire").Wouldn't be a good idea to stand right in the middle of the road, you can stick to the side, on the sidewalk and this way you'll have no problem with the staff. The visibility is good enough and it's AFTER the toll so people have already stopped and have the time to notice you; you'll be picked up in no time !
