Had a sign for Gostivar, was kind of standing on the higway but next to an abandoned hotel/gas station. Cars go really fast be careful, but a good spot for them to pull over―Anonymous

Solo female. I came from Niš and got dropped off by the first ride (truck) here since he had to stay on the highwayI could've asked for a Kumanovo drop-off but thought maybe some cars there would head south and not to Skopje. In hindsight, I should've chosen the Lukoil on the highway just south of Kumanovo because it would have way more cars
In contrast, this gas station doesn't get much traffic. I mostly signed to get the cars on the road behind this gas station, and only ran to the gas station when a car pulled up. Many cars either didn't stop or were full, some local/neighborhood traffic. It was a Sunday FYI
Eventually got picked up by a Macedonian couple and they dropped me off at a mall 30min walk from the center

Solo female. Asked around for Skopje but many cars were going to Bulgaria or were full (with kids/pets/grandparents). Maybe because it was a Sunday during the summerBut idk if there's another spot near Niš that could be easier, since there's no gas stations on the southbound highway until almost Vranje
Eventually found a big truck who dropped me off just outside of Skopje because he had to stay on the Ring Road highway

Lots of traffic with cars OH (Ohrid plates). A bit place to stop, however the drivers don't see you because of the corner.―Magik

I stood pretty close to the ramp with a sign that had VELES written in the latin alphabet on it. A man stopped and was even able to bring me further than Veles, since I was trying to get to the greece border.―KaeptnBub

quite hard to get here bc not a single app was right about the bus timetable, ended up taking bus 51 (none of the others were coming) which was an unsafe walk to this spot so maybe be a bit more patient with the busses―suruh
