With SK/Prešov sign, got picked up by a fellow hitchhiker going to Białka almost immediately. Be careful about where you get dropped tho, all the traffic going to Slovakia follows the main road but not all spots are safe.

Not too much traffic and cars coming from the main road are going quite fast, try to stand somewhere where road signs won’t hide you from them. Not ideal, but basically all traffic to eastern Slovakia from this part of Poland goes through here. Ideally avoid getting dropped here and get a direct ride to Slovakia from further north.

Quite a lot of traffic and space to pull over, however you’re a bit to the right from the road so it might be a bit hard for drivers to see you.

Pretty unlucky. There was construction work and no one was going to Slovakia. Took a ride to Zakopane in the end

Also, the traffic towards Zakopane is busiest in late afternoon. We (description above) were hitchhiking about 7.30 P.M.

We (2 boys) were walking to this place called Łysa Polana downhill from parking at Polana Palenica (1,5 km), trying to get a lift to Zakopane. We got to Łysa Polana and waited by the bus stop for 3 minutes, then we got a lift to Zakopane. Our friends, 3 girls, walking about 100m before us, got a lift to Bukowina Tatrzańska about 500m Łysa Polana. If you're lucky you may also catch a ride further than to Zakopane as there are many tourists coming from far away. They usually use parking at Polana Palenica and all of them go through Łysa Polana, too. The problem is that people who go further than to Zakopane are mainly families so their cars are rather packed.

2 girls got a ride to Zakopane from a couple leaving a parking after 5 mins of walking. 500m to the east, on the bus stop, boy&girl got a ride after 20mins and right after them, 200m to the east, on the next bus stop, the same car took 2 more hitchikers to Zakopane.
