Good spot at the border. There was only one lane open and therefore some space for cars to stop, idk if it’s like this all the time. I waited with a sign to Zürich. Many cars crossed the border and where passing me. After 15 minutes a guy approached me who had parked after the customs and asked where I needed to go. He then took me to "Pratteln Süd“, the first big rest area after Basel. I think if you wait long enough cars would also stop right after the border. 1 male―jack

It’s a quite good spot. I waited on the on-ramp of the highway. Many cars coming, enough space to stop. In the first 10 minutes 3 or 4 cars stopped, but they didn’t went my direction. I wanted to go to Geneva/switzerland. In the end I got offered a ride to Mulhouse or be dropped off at a rest area towards Geneva. I took the ride to Mulhouse and the guy even drove me to Basel (bale) to the train station. I even met someone else hitchhiking there at the same time, so cool!1 male alone

There's a big billboard near the exit where you can stand in the shade after 13:00 (once the sun has moved).―Dervonnebenaan

The parking lot is a barren wasteland for trucks only. The access road has a narrow side strip where cars can stop, but there's only industrial areas and tiny villages nearby, so if you travel on sunday like me, there are no cars at all.I tried standing behind the guard rail of the deceleration lane, but gave up after 2 hours and walked to the train station.

Easy to get a ride because the cars slow down for the roundabout. Easy to get to Basel/mulhouse, not far destinations.―vincent

Wouldn’t recommend this place not a lot of traffic. Been there a couple of times and the last time I left by train to the next gas station, just 20min by train. Way better place―Anonymous

Not so many cars stops here, but it is possible to get a ride by asking people on a parking. I got a ride to a petrol station next to Bern, but you can ask people to bring you to a next petrol station in Prateln on A2/A3.―estasbien

A guy and a girl on a Thursday afternoon without a sign. After getting there by bus & train and walking about 25min, we stood at the first exit, where you get all the cars going both to the highway or to the petrol station. A lot of cars passed by, but we shortly got a ride to Heidelberg. Seems to be a good spot to go north.―JumpingRabbit

We were three people trying to hitchhike to Pratteln and then to Luzern. Hitchhiking St. Jakob Strasse this way was a bad idea : there is no place for cars to stop and most people just waved back at us or ignored us.We tried to avoid public transportation as it's quite expensive, but we ended up taking a train to chill in Basel city center instead...

On a sunday evening, without a sign.Quite bad, cars go fast in the entryway and there is not a lot of place to stop.
I still got a lift to Basel, but it was a bit risky I think. Might be safer to try to go on the D201 for a bit.

On a sunday evening, without a sign. Not that bad : two people stopped, and I ended up accepting a lift down to the motorway entry to try to reach Basel. But not a lot of place to stop...―JumpingRabbit

great alternative to hitching from the border. we were a while standing on the on slip directly, but eventually we moved onto the road a little bit and one of the first french cars to pass stopped for us. theres good visibility and cars are already slowing down about to turn. at mid day on a weekday there was a decent amount of traffic, a lot of people in mulhouse commute to switzerland for work so you could catch a lot of french drivers going home after work around 5 or 6 potentially.―BI
