One male 40+, no sign, one big backpack, a sunny day. On my way from Budapest to Arad in Romania (successful).A very good spot. At the very end of the petrol station there is little space, so I was waiting a bit closer, at the end of the last grass island, hitchhiking once with a right another time with a left hand. And sometimes with both, and then I looked like Jesus 😁
No shade, quite busy traffic, both cars and lorries. There is free internet, but the toilets are paid.
After 15 minutes a lorry took me to another petrol station 55 kms along the highway. There were some road works so it took as nearly 1,5 hours 🙄

One male 40+, no sign, one big backpack, a sunny day. On my way from Budapest to Arad in Romania (successful).A very good spot. Legal coz it not a highway yet. Others already described this spot. I only add that place is a bit uphill so lorry drivers may not be keen on stopping here. A 100 meters closer to the center there is a flat and long exit from the petrol station, but it's after a curve so visibility is limited. The choice is yours.
No shade, cars coming in waves due to the traffic lights a bit before.
After 15 minutes I got a ride to a petrol station 27 kms along the highway, from where quickly I got another lift.
The couple even forced a chocolate bar on me 😊

A German guy stopped and drove me all the way to the Serbian border. Probably better than anywhere inside Budapest proper―Arphile

Huge traffic and lots of trucks, also nice facilities. If you're going south to Szeged, it's a great spot.―JuanPabloSegundo

An awesome spot to hitch a ride to Budapest. Stand at the very end of it, because from the back there is also a lane with traffic, which goes up to the motorway as well.―AdrianB

In theory sweet spot, in practice it took an hour to find a car going to Budapest. Seems like a very decent spot though. As usual on hungarian petrol stations - caution advised at night.―Mrgnd

What Drumroots said. Tried it twice, both times it was about 5-10 mins (hitch-hiking alone, I'm male).―Tomasmarc

A lot of traffic heading out of Budapest to Szolnok and further to Romania. It is definitely possible to get a lift all the way to Romania from here. There is just enough place cars to pull over safely. Only use the petrol station at the roundabout as a last resort - not too much traffic going there.―Drumroots

At night it was took so long to get a ride to Szeged. Anyway it must be one of the best hitch places in Hungary.―Anonymous

On an eastern sunny day, not so many people on the road. After getting many no's with bad faces, a couple took me 100 km away away from here.―Gustavobretz

Not only quickly got a ride. Quickly got a ride with the band Irie Mafia straight into the Szeged Festival. Good place.―Mrgnd
