[Young male solo-traveller]Spot was fine, not many cars when I was there, but lots of trucks. A truck driver from Uzbekistan finally picked me up after 30 minutes.

Enough space for parking. People can go in both direction, so would be maybe better to have a sign. Worked fine without for me to go to Saint-Etienne.―Anonymous

An on-ramp, uphill, cars go slowly and see you from a distance. Some place for them to stop but it's illegal to stand there. Direction Lyon, through highway.―Anonymous

This is the spot to go to Givors/Lyon and to the South (A7).There is way enough place on the side of the road for the cars to stop.

A lot of people who drive to roanne from St Etienne let you here. The highway entrance is far. It's difficult to come back on the highway. I hate this place.―Anonymous

Direction Lyon or St-Etienne/ClermontTry not to be there, as there is no place for cars to stop, but if you have to, then it can be a good spot. I had a ride to Clermont, was it luck?

This is the last petrol station before the motorway splits. Most of the cars are going straight to Lyon. You'll find a few cars to the East, or to the South (Valence). There is not a lot of cars stopping here. Try to avoid it.―Anonymous

Leave from a city is everytime difficult. Accept the first driver who can bring you to any gazstation. I wait 20 minutes. Courage !―Anonymous

this is absolutely the worst spot in the world if you want to get on the highway in the diretion of clermont-ferrand. you should try to get to saint-etienne and continue from there. around this place, the cheapest hotel costs 46 euro and i was unable to find any other site to spend the night (which you will have to do if you stay in this place).―Foerno

My experience is better, but i was a few meters behind, on a not legal place (the police consider it's on the highway). There's a nice place to stop for the drivers (only for peoples who want to go in the direction of Lyon)―Touvert

Déposé ici pour continuer vers Clermont-Ferrand par quelqu'un s'arrêtant à Saint-Étienne. Beaucoup de trafic, mais attente un peu longue au rond-point. Ça vaut sûrement le coup d'aborder les conducteurs à la station service.―JB
