Pretty good! Traffic was chill but someone saw me and came back to pick me up. Apparently they had seen hitchhikers there before as well. Good stop!!!

All the car traffic from the border goes through here. People drive very slowly and there is lots of space for them to stop. Got picked up by a Turkish family on vacation and they took us all the way to Belgrad. They even wanted us to go with them to Budapest the next day but we were cramped for time.

Difficult to rate this spot, there is a little traffic at the gas station. A guy who saw me earlier at my other spot stopped and gave me a lift to the border.

Regular but not abundant traffic, there were 4 trucks parked (Turkish and Bulgarian). I was lucky to get a ride from a Serbian border control all the way to Bulgarian border since the truck drivers parking there were not to keen on taking me. was holding a sign Pirot

Good traffic, but some waiting. Had a sign Sofia and some Turkish guys coming from Antwerp going to Fethiye gave me a lift to Sofia.

In the four times I hitchhiked here, I was only picked up once.

(Late August 2012) I had a car up to Pirot, but when I saw all the cars waiting here, I just got in the middle of the queue to ask people if they were able to pick me. I found a car directly for the French Alps. With the registration plate, it was easy to choose.

Walking from the border (going into Bulgaria) I held up my sign reading "Sofia" every time a car passed by (2 or 3 every 5 minutes or so on a Thursday afternoon in November), and was picked up within 5 minutes.

if you're going towards Sofia, I think it's better to hitchhike few meters after Shell petrol station than at the spot where this marker is

Just at the end of the city towards Pirot, after crossing the rail tracks and where city street meets the highway. 10minutes walk from city center

Long parking place and a lot of place to stop. Maybe we where lucky, but got a car quite fast.

this is just after you pass all tolls at the border.
on the right side there are couple of quirky restaurants usually serving truck drivers who happen to loose way much time on this border point in a queue.
There are also couple of shanty kiosks selling road vignettes and snacks.
Visibility is excellent, but I think this general \\'messy\\' feeling of a place where you hitch somehow discourages drivers to pick you up.
Also, hundred meters up the road there\\'s a curve to the right, so you don\\'t have much choice about the location except this one.
Anyhow, all possible traffic passes here, so hitchhing is possible, but not perfect (for a border point).
