The cars are going FAST, so stand in a place that gives drivers enough room to slow down. I was thumbing holding a "Polska" sign, hoping for a ride to Żywiec or Bielsko-Biała.I got super lucky too - a truck pulled over at the bus stop, without even seeing me, just to fix his navigation. I assumed he had stopped for me, so I walked up and asked - he ended up taking me. Because of his navigation's mistake we had to turn around and go to Poland through Dolny Kubin and then Chyżne border crossing, which is the route I originally planned. After waiting with him for his mandatory 45-minute break, he took me to the outskirts of Kraków which was my ultimate destination :)

Tried hitchhiking in the morning with a "Polska" sign. I think most of the cars going east are just people who exited the highway and are going to Zilina. If you want to go north towards Poland/Czech Republic (as I did) I suggest taking a city bus to Brodno and hitchhiking at the bus stop along the north-bound highway.―klawik

I stood here for two hours with a sign (first saying "D. Kubin" and then "RK/DK" - regional codes for Ruzemberok and Dolny Kubin), but noone stopped. Judging from the licence plates of the cars passing by, it might be a good spot to go to Martin.There were also a lot of trucks with polish and czech licence plates, but there wasn't enough space for them to pull over.

The Ondrejovova bus stop is separated from "car lanes" by a bus lane, so I did what the other review suggested - I was thumbing with a sign right after the bus stop so that people could stop at the lane entering the gas station. It worked liked a charm and after 20 minutes I got a ride all the way to Zilina.―klawik

A bit risky, there is a space for cars to pull up. A few police cars drove by and they did not care.―Nini

Hitchhiking to Poprad and noone stopped for us. Lot of traffic and a good place for cars to stop tho. If you're going in a different direction give it a try.―Nini

Asking around with Zilina sign, 2 people in 5 minutes wanted to give me ride. I went to Lietavska Lucka so I picked the guy which wanted to drop me off there.―borizko

No clue what went wrong, I had a sign saying PP for Poprad, but no one seemed interested. Eventually got a ride to Ružomberok and took the train from there because it was getting wet and dark.―Arphile
