Not much traffic, but we got super lucky. Most people go through the border on the motorway.―Sandor

One male 40+, no sign, one big backpack, a sunny day. On my way from Arad in Timisoara.Across the road there was a welcome to Arad sign and behind me end of Arad one. It looks like a very good spot. A double lane changes here into a single one. So, the end of the finish lane is a very good place for cars and lorries to stop. A hundred metres before there is a very bumpy railway track and all cars have to slow almost to zero, so they will pass you slowly. Good visibility. One bad thing there is no shade.
After 25 minuts waiting I got a ride to Timisoara.

One male 40+, no sign, one big backpack, a sunny day. On my way from Budapest to Arad in Romania (successful).It looks like a very good spot. I was waiting at the end of the last grass island (by the very exit there wasn't enough space to stop) hitchhiking sometimes with a right hand and sometitimes with a left one. Occasionally with both so I looked like Jesus 😁
There is no shade. The toilets are free.
After 25 minutes Romanian lorry drivers picked me up and took to Arad.

Cars are going a bit fast but they have to slow down for the traffic lights anyway, good for going north in direction Oradea―Arphile

Got an incredible ride with an old super nice Romanian guy. Once we arrived in Arad he took me to the town hall for a tour, then he showed me around the city, brought me home for lunch and gave me 200 lei―Arphile

Ok, this is likely a great spot, but I just didn´t have a lot of luck. It was night and asking around, the majority go just locally, don´t speak English, or are going on vacation with full cars. But after 4 hours asking around, I found some Slovaks who took me to Bucharest.―martih

I was in no rush, so take my waiting time with a grain of salt. This is a good place. A lot of trucks are going through this place, most of them heading toward Budapest, but after asking for a while, I got a ride directly to Romania.―martih

Arrived in the late evening, waited 2 hours before being caught. Maybe because i tried to talk with people in the petrolstation, maybe it works better with the hitch!―Anonymous

Tram 1b only runs twice a day. However, you can also take tram 6 to Piata Gai. From there it's a 2,5km walk.―Anonymous
