One male 40+, no sign, one big backpack, a very sunny day. On my way from Dubasari to Ribnica (successful).I got dropped at the junction before that spot by the previous driver.
There is an ex petrol station which was turned into a pub. It was closed when I was there. There entry to the old petrol station is a good place to pull over. A few steps away there is shade. I was hiding there between cars. Not busy traffic. Very good visibility.
After 15 minutes a very positive woman gave me a lift to Rashkov. She told me a few things about that place. Thanks to her I found out about the Polish cemetery (which I'd probably missed), where she dropped me.

One male 40+, no sign, one big backpack, a very sunny day. On my way from Ribnica to a village Rashkov (successful).I wasn't a fan of that place, but it was good enough. And I didn't want to walk more. There is shade and a bay to pull over. The place is between curves, so the visibility isn't the best, but good enough. Not very busy traffic.
After 20 minutes a guy offered me a taxi service (asked for money). The only time in Transdniestria it happened. I thanked him.
5 minutes later I got a ride to Belochi (15 kms).

One male 40+, no sign, one big backpack, a very sunny day. On my way from Dubasari to Ribnica (successful).There is shade. The trafic is slow (a car every 2 minutes). There is space to pull over (a gravel bay). Across the road there is a bus stop. So I guess the busses stop on that side of the road as well. Great visibility.
After 10 minutes a friendly, older couple took me to Ribnica. They were trying to invite me for some food. I didn't want to overuse their kindness so I refused. In the end I agreed to have a small glass of kvas with them.

Pretty easy to Orhei and Chisinau, harder if you’re going north. I was planning on going north but decided at the last minute to just take a ride to Orhei to check out the monasteries―doktorgonzo

An okay spot, seems like some locals use it too. A lot of local traffic here. Further up the road might be better? Can’t say for sure, this spot is still fine―doktorgonzo

Not a hitchhike but this is a note that this border CAN be crossed by foot (very easily, in fact), as of March 2026―doktorgonzo

Border guards had no problem with me hitchhiking. I took a ride from the first car that stopped, which turned out to be just going only a few minutes into town. Maybe best to just walk/get a ride to the other end of Rezina and hitch from there? Note that if you choose to walk across town, you will be met with a very imposing tower of stairs :)―Anonymous
