One male 40+, no sign, one big backpack, a cloudy evening. On my way from Bălți to Iaşi (successful).The place looks really good. Two tarmac bays (an entry and an exit of the petrol station), so loads of place to stop. Very good visibility. No shade, but it was very cloudy evening. The cars were going pretty fast. And there were very few of them.
The whole hitchhiking from Bălți was going much slower than I expected. I started to think that I'd get stuck here (getting dark, very few cars etc.). But after half an hour a car stopped. And it was going all the way to Iaşi. But the ride was a bit stressful. The guy asked for money. Then he said he had been only joking. But during the ride he was "joking" like that a few more times. At the border he was shouting at the border gards. And generally he was a bit weird. So, I was relieved when I got off in Iaşi.
The traffic on this road seems to be not very busy. So reserve guys a bit more time to get to Iaşi from Bălți.

One male 40+, no sign, one big backpack, a sunny day. On my way from Bălți to Iaşi (successful).There is a bus stop with a tarmac bay. I had some shade from a road sign (the sun was still burning my legs and my arse). The visibility was good. The cars were going slowly. An evening pretty quiet traffic.
After 4 minutes a car stopped, but was getting off the main road in a couple of kilometres, so I passed. After 12 minutes I got a 13 kms ride. It was getting late and I was going slowly. So reserve more time if you head to Iaşi along this road. The guys were nice and dropped me at the end of the village, so I saved some time on walking.

I was dropped here by the previous driver. There was a very small bay, the visibility was o'right, a bit of shade, cars didn't go very fast. But it wasn't a good spot towards Iaşi. It looked that the long distance cars were not using that bypass road and they were going through the town centre instead. Most cars were showing me that they didn't go far. After 20 minutes the first car stopped and when they heard my destination they said "No" and rhey drove away. 10 minutes later another car stopped and the driver gave me a short (2,5 kms) but helpful ride to the western end of the town where the things picked up a bit for me. So, if you go west head directly to the west end of the town. Don't waste your time here.

One male 40+, no sign, one big backpack, a sunny day. On my way from Bălți to Iaşi in Romania (successful).The place is really good. There is a gravel bay to stop. Good visibility. Car don't go too fast due to the roundabout. Unfortunately no shade.
After six minutes I got my first ride to Fălești, which was pretty good beginning. The things slowed down after that ride.
