One male 40+, no sign, one big backpack, a sunny day. On my way from Sibiu to a very small place on the way to Râmnicu Vâlcea called Lazaret.The place is really good. Loads of space to stop. No shade. Good visibility. Not very busy traffic. Most cars were going either towards Brasov or Sibiu. Cars go slowly due to a roundabout.
After (lucky) 13 minutes I got a lift to Lazarte.

One male 40+, no sign, one big backpack, a sunny day. On my way from Sibiu to a very small place on the way to Râmnicu Vâlcea called Lazaret (successful).The place is really good. Loads and loads of space to stop (some sort of massive entrace to shops plus parking space). Cars go slowly coz it's after a roundabout. Good visibility. The traffic is much smaller than in the roundabout closer to the city. Which means many cars passing trough the other place stay in the city. So, I think this place here is better. There are actually two lanes. But the traffic was small that even the cars from the farther lane could pull over. No shade.
After 10 minuts a French couple stopped and gave me a lift half way, to a roundabout just before Talmaciu (they were going to Brasov), where quickly I got a lift to my destination.

One male 40+, no sign, one big backpack, a cloudy day, drizzling. On my way from here to Sibiu.I finished hiking 3,5 kms south of this place. Initially I thought it'd be fairly easy to HH here. But the road which looked easy on the map turned out to be quite busy, main road, but physically narrow. I walked 3,5 kilometres when cars passed me by inches (no sidewalk, no nothing), splashing me with water (a huge pour down just finished), to find a first place where a car could pull over.
The place is on the inside side of a curve, which means less visibility. But has enough space to stop. Bad thing was that cars were driving fast here. And, for some strange reason , coming in waves. So drivers had a split second to make the decision, with other cars just behind.
Luckly for me after 25 minutes two friendly guys stopped and took me to Sibiu.
Less than 1 kilometre up north, just after the railway bridge is a place which looks way better.

Locals were also hitching here. Relatively quick someone suddenly stopped (probably because he realised I was a foreigner). He was driving to Cluj, I got out before. Not a bad spot for going west. Lots of place to stop, and closer to the city than if you start near the highway. Male/thumb―Merl

Went here because the roundabout was being used by local hitchhikers. Took quite a while for some reason but a polish guy on a roadtrip through Romania picked me up for Brașov/Brassó―Arphile

Big runoff for cars to pull over, it’s the best way to get to the highway from Deva so it works even if going east. I got a ride to Sibiu/Nagyszeben―Arphile

Good place for going to Medias, Sighisoara, Brasov. There is space for cars to stop and they slow down as they exit the bridge.―Anonymous

I prefer to pass the bridge, but you can also wait here. A bit crowded and not to much space for the cars to stop.―Anonymous

Can be crowded with locals, but many cars or vans stop, even choosing the hitchers depending on their destination, specially for long distances―Playschool
