Nice spot, bus stop with visibility but space only for cars to stop, trucks go too fast. Lots of traffic but lots of locals as well. Friday, 6:30pm so probably not the best moment.―Manero

Excellent spot with ongoing road works so one lane only. Problem is no trafic at all, probably due to road works. At 5pm on a Friday night, couple with thumb and sign. Everyone at the roundabout was going to the other exits. Got very lucky.―Manero

We were HH with a sign "Lietuva" for multiple hours along the road leading out of Bauska, no-one stopped. Eventually we moved to the Circle K and got a ride to Panevezys almost immediately―Melatoniini

all traffic going towards the border goes this way. At night so it took a while but good spot―marzipan

it's a decent spot. the main disadvantage is the fact that there is a crosswalk right before the bus stop, so you're a little bit less visible because of all the signs. on the other hand it's easier to hitch at night because there are street lights, so people see you from far. i hitched in the middle of the night, so that's probably why i waited for so long.―Orzechbrazylijski

One male 40+, with a sign "VILNIUS" , one big and one small backpacks, dry but cloudy day. Going to Vilnius.A very good space. A bus stop, with enough space even for a truck to squeeze in. Just before 9 in the morning. A perfect traffic, a car every 20-30 seconds. A van stopped after 15-20 minutes of waiting and took me all the way to Vilnius.
I got to this spot walking from the centre of Bauska.

One male 40+, with a sign "VILNIUS" , one big and one small backpacks, dry but cloudy day. Going to Vilnius.A very good space. A bus stop, with enough space even for a truck, just after the entrance/exit to a petrol station. 8:45 in the morning. A perfect traffic, a car every 20-30 seconds. I barely started hitchhiking and a car stopped and took me to Bauska, where after 15 minutes I got another ride, all the way to Vilnius.
The only problem with this place is getting there. Before, from Riga, there is a highway, plus it's 20 kms from the centre. So no chance to walk there. I got a ride from my friend. But I guess there must be a bus from Riga, stopping there.

Here is a good spot because drivers have space for stopping. I stayed there with the sign : PANEVEZYS that vice-versa was VILNIUS, after 20 minutes of waiting one truck driver stopped when I showed sign PANEVEZYS, after he saw another side of my paperboard, he said that he could move me to Vilnius, and we go nice.―Roman21

There is a bus stop: "Neilandi", the bus 26 go there from city and across the road is the sign of RIGA.Firstly I try to hitchhiking with the sign Vilnius but after 30 min with no result, I change the sing to Bauska. After this in 5 min one driver stopped and bring me to Bauska

Long strip of gravel on the side of the road, even unsure drivers can take their time to think and stop (mines stopped a couple of hundred meters forward, almost didn't see them). Sign Kaunas, got ride to Kaunas. Solo female, Sunday morning.―friki

Cars are driving slow and there was enough traffic. Also, enough room to stop. A van stopped and took me to Kaunas from here.―anettlee17

Good spot, we walked from the town to this bus stop. Lot of traffic. Suprisingly a truck driver took us to Panavežys―verdederos

Great spot. Cars can go quite fast but there is place on the bus stop. Probably not for trucks.―verdederos
