Fast traffic, but a kind family did manage to stop within the space. They gave me a short intra-city ride to a better spot for rides North to Estonia.―daniellorell

I went with a sign at just after 07:00 (still dark). Cars moving very fast (speed limit 70 kph), but after about 30 min a kind truck driver stopped and took me directly to Riga.―daniellorell

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.

Perfect place, just check the ferry arrival times, lots of trucks to Latvia and Estonia.―ChristianaSammal

Seems like a good spot but didn't work for me. After waiting almost 1 hour with sign Parnu, I got eventually a short ride to gas station nearby Adazi.―Argeros

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

Good spot to get a direct ride to Riga, a lot of Latvians stop here. After asking around for 45 minutes it worked for me.―Argeros

Solo female, cloudy Sunday morning. Local traffic, but good enough to get past the roundabout and go south instead of walking.―friki

Bus stop, good visibility, they still go slow and all traffic goes in one lane. Solo female, cloudy Sunday morning, thumb.―friki

Agree. Lots of local traffic, nobody wants to stop. Solo female, cloudy Sunday morning. Waited for 45 minutes and decided to take the bus to Kekava, which was a good decision.―friki

Restaurant and 2 gas stations, but the traffic was very low on monday morning. Decided to hitchhike by the road just before the station. Cars ignored us, finally someone came and offered us a ride to Riga. I guess we were unlucky, spot looked decent.―Tobiacha

Maybe I was greedy, but finding a car to Estonia was almost impossible. Not really advised, but I believe this is the best place going north from Riga.―martih

Lots of local traffic, no one stopped at the bus stop for 30min. I tried asking around in the gas station and then a guy took me to the Kekava roundabout.―anettlee17

Cars go fast, but pretty possible to get a ride here. I recommend to go to a better place on A1 highway if you wanna go to Tallinn.―kepker
