I was on my way to Oslo. I tried three different spots here. First I was standing at the exit of the gas station. There's very little traffic there. Then I walked a bit to right before the highway sign. There it's hard to stop for cars, cause they're going quite fast. Also, to get there you have to walk past a camera. I thought ah who cares it's just a camera. ... They care. I ended up camping in the woods next to the road there and for about half an hour there was like a surveillance drone circling above my tent. Probably because that camera spotted me or saw me cross the highway or something. Just don't go near there.The next day, I stood by the main road right in front of the entrance to the gas station. Asked for some cardboard at the gas station and made a big OSLO sign. The second car that came by stopped on the entrance lane and took me to Oslo.

Good spot for going to the E16. It's legal and there's space to stop, and you know that everyone driving there will take the E16. You can ask any driver going West to drop you off there. I got a ride to Hønefoss there. Didn't use a sign.―Bigworldsmallsarah

I was here on a summer Sunday around 7 in the morning and there was maybe one car every 5 minutes. I had a sign with Hønefoss and later with E16, but in the end I was lucky to get a ride to Sandvika. I feel like there should be more traffic at other times of the day though? Might be worth trying. And the gas station there gave me cardboard and has a free toilet :).―Bigworldsmallsarah

9:20am on a tuesday, most cars are going south so not much luck. There is a resting area for cars and trucks where you can go and ask them. There is a truck gas pump and you can ask there too when you see one. Otherwise you just ask every car that stops for gas/charging/coffee...At lunch there's a burger king so you can move there at some point in the morning.
After more than 2 hours a truck driver that was parked brought me straight to copenaghen (and gave me food, cola, snacks, candy, coffee, cigarettes and anything you could imagine)
If you get stuck here I think you're screwed so be careful at what time you reach it.

Got a direct ride to Oslo as a M/F couple with a sign after an hour. A fair amount of German and Norwegian cars, although ultimately a Swedish/Icelandic couple took us. Beware that in summer, there's no shade and you'll be burning.―Anonymous

Very good spot relative to the place and time. 10ish am on a thursday, many cars, most are going south though. Thankfully two cars were going to Oslo but i just had to wait for them to charge/finish sleeping. I went with a nice guy and his daughter who just charged their car here. There is a burger king for food and toilet and its decently busy place to ask. People were all friendly and helpful.―SunnySupertramp

Bus stop on the on-ramp, loads of space to stop and traffic going quite slow after the roundabout―Wienerpolser

A good spot with lots of cars going to both directions from the ramp. Waited for a while, but all in all a fine spot―Saarpe3

The second car we asked agreed to take me and my girlfriend to Oslo. Very good spot, lot of traffic.―Anonymous

Great spot to head towards Oslo! There's not much space for drivers to pull over, but it's wide enough for them to pull to the side and stop. It's also beneficial that there is a roundabout and drivers go slower and can take their time to think about picking you up when they see you.―Passports

One male 40+, with a sign "Oslo", one big and one small backpacks, sunny and warm day. Going to Oslo.A bus stop, good visibility and enough space even for a lorry to stop. Much closer there is a petrol station, but it's on a curve with almost no space to stop, so I think this place is better and worth the extra 20 minutes walk.
I was very luck this time. I waited only 10 minutes and I got a ride straight to the Oslo centre.

Maybe not the best spot, but drivers certainly have a lot of visibility and space to stop, even if they’re probably Norwegian and driving a bit too fast to notice - bring a big sign.―Bigdeidiot

A guy and a girl on a Wednesday afternoon without a sign. There's a bus stop for cars to stop, but cars go a little fast. We were taken to the gas station of Vik.―JumpingRabbit

A guy and a girl on a Wednesday at noon with a small arrow sign. It's hard to get to this spot, you have to get to the other side of the road, in the gas station by bus and foot before crossing to the other side.It looks like a bad spot from afar, but is in fact very nice, with lot of place to stop and cars going slowly before the roundabout.

Again, there's no good spot in this way out. Here they can stop on an exiting street, but cars go fast and close to each other, dangerous situation. We did end up getting two rides for 2+1 people one after the other. Still better go to a different place.―friki
