Even without much traffic we got a ride almost immediately. There is also a lane for the cars to stop.Try to get to the next stop only.

Put frankfurt on our signs and got a ride from the 5th person we asked. Lot of people and a good place to go south. You can go through the woods and over the fence but it's less of a hassle to just start at the onramp a couple of km back.―NR038

Good spot to get to the gas station down the road if you don't feel like climbing the fence. Decent traffic and got picked up almost immediately. About an hour away from cologne centre with public transport, google maps sends you through the woods and the entrance isn't really marked but there is a clear path.―NR038

Got a ride just after we started asking around. Lots of traffic, trucks too. Right before the border.―NR038

First one we asked took us to Cologne. Very busy restaurant and gas station with a lot of options―Kiwi

I was going south, trucks are all headed east through Cologne and most passenger cars were headed north. One driver took pity and drove me out of his way to get me south. He said he told a friend over the phone there was a hitchhiker and the friend dared him to give the lift, it was his first time.Safety note: a 5 passenger car with 5 male occupants attempted to get me to give them money for a ride at this spot, even though they clearly didn't have space. They became belligerent when I declined, until they saw other people watching and sped away. I made a point of chatting with as people as possible after this in case they came back.

Drivers were overall not polite, relatively low passenger car traffic and a lot of dirty looks or avoidance - I was clean and groomed, didn't have this problem elsewhere.Saw a van with Spain number plates and kayaks on top, talked to the driver and he took me to just outside of Cologne.

With a A3 sign, a lady stopped in the middle of the street. There are poles so it's not ideal, but i got a ride towards the direction i wanted―Eidolem

Wanted to get on to A61. Tried it during rush hour. There are some people who take that route every day, for example to Koblenz. Not perfect to stop for a car.―Friedolin
