First about the border crossing. You can cross it on foot without any problem, I crossed it from Transinistria to Moldova yesterday in the evening because I could stay in Transinistria only for 12 hours without accommodation and I wanted to wildcamp which I did on Moldovan side of border on small grass area in forest next to main road but when I wanted to go back to transinistria in the morning guards had problems with me carrying a pepper spray and told me that I need to throw it away if I want to cross border. As in Moldova and Transinistria a like there are a lot of stray dogs that quite often are aggressive I didn't wanted to be without anything to defend myself so I decided to go back to Moldova. Now description of spot itself starts, there is place to stop almost everywhere on that road between border control and bridge. I just stayed in the only place that had any shadow in the morning and was close to border control. Cars goes slow after border and I quickly got ride to Chisinau city center―Autostopeks

One male 40+, no sign, one big backpack, a sunny day. On my way from Chisinau to Tyraspol (successful).After the petrol station, where a triple lane was narrowing into a double lane. The end of the 3rd lane was a good place for cars to pull over. Good visibility. There was shade. Busy traffic, cars come in waves due to the traffic lights just a bit before.
After 10 minutes I got not long, but useful ride to the Chisinau airport.

One male 40+, no sign, one big backpack, a sunny day. On my way from Moinești in Romania to Chisinau in Moldova (successful).I got a long ride from Romania. Unfortunately the driver wasn't going all the way to Chisinau and he dropped here, 15 kms before the capital.
I was a bit in a pickle, coz I didn't have local money to pay for a public transport. And it was maybe the last 15 minutes before the sunset. So it looked like a long way ahead of me.
Lucky I got a ride in 5 minutes. There is a nice tarmac bay in front of a closed petrol station. The visibility is also very good.

Got insanely lucky with a ride all the way to Tulcea after 10min with a Romanian couple. Male, couldn't even write a sign before someone already stopped―Merl

Not recommendable. I wanted to cross at another place, where I passed by, because a local told me this border crossing was easier and it was shorter to get to Chisinau. But almost only trucks and few cars for local traffic, sometimes a mashrutka. After 1.5 hrs the police asked a mashrutka to take me, so finally I got out of there. Male with sign―Merl

Took still some time, but not sure if there is a better place than this to Tiraspol. Got a ride with a guy from Tiraspol after around 45min. Single guy with sign―Merl

Stood with a sign saying Tiraspol in Cyrillic (Тирасполь), a guy took me to Bender and then I took the trolley to Tiraspol for 4 PMR rubles (less than 25 euro cents)―Arphile

Going to Chișinău with an MD sign, the first guys that stopped didn’t want to take me with my french passport but then I got a ride directly to Chișinău―Arphile

Not a particularly busy road. I suppose we got lucky (the 3rd car picked us up).―klawik

As of 2014 the trolley station is called Gradina Botanica and it is the final station of trolley 22.―Balazs

There are very few cars there but they usually go far distances as there are not many cities on the way (or at all). I got a ride close to Ukrainian border after 10 mins.―Rozwal

I prefer to stand just before the bus station so you're not hitching with all the locals. Sign for Romania got me picked up to a better spot on the road to the border within 15 minutes.―HolyDrinker
