To Riga, to Gulbene, to Balvi. Local cars, in the mornings a lot of them are going to Riga―Anonymous

Very difficult spot to go towards Valka, also after that uphill and new bollards they have installed make it very inconvenient, also most cars here are local traffic, wait time can be for hours in here―estohiker

Towards Strenci, locals head this road to there, little traffic but hitchable, wait times of 20-40 minutes expected―estohiker

Another difficult spot, little traffic, at night time here the last lights nearby road are located here, so you probably should gamble here or walk a kilometer more north before Kamaldina road, wait time of 50-120 minutes―estohiker

Towards Strenci, perfect spot, very wide shoulder, one of the first cars will stop, be aware of very low traffic though, always works for me, I'd recommend going to Strenci and then head to Valka if you are going to Estonia, wait times of 5-25 minutes―estohiker

If headed to Strenci, this is a deadpoint in the road, most cars turn to Plani or Trikata, walk at least to Vijciems roads, here you'd wait 40+ minutes, very low traffic―estohiker

Towards Strenci, nice long part of a road, you can also try in Brutuli, but there's cars turning from both sideroads as well, so you have to keep that in mind, wait times of 20-30 minutes expected―estohiker
