Nice space for stopping after a petrol station, also there are places to put a tent nearby. I got ride like half a way to Kumanovo with local Muslim scholar after half an hour―Autostopeks

That's the first place after the border that looked good for hitchhiking for me so I just stood here with my thumb up and after around 35 minutes I was going towards Skopje. Maybe I was lucky but that was one of the easiest borders to hitchhike after it in all of balkans―Autostopeks

God spot for Kumanovo but don't expect to be as lucky as I was. First car that stopped for me had Bułgarian license plates and took me straight to Sofia, except for my driver I didn't saw any Bulgarian license plates so don't expect to much but still nice spot―Autostopeks

I had to wait a little longer but still I think that this is good spot for Skopje. Also if you want to camp near by you can do it in place in which highway connects with this road as there is empty space with some threes in between ramp and highway that's good for sleeping and there is a mall with free toilets and power sockets, ok I think that's all I want to say about this area. Generally good spot―Autostopeks

Good spot towards Tetovo, Gostivar and Ohrid where I was heading. Friendly chap took me somewhere behind Gostivar.―johnni

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
