As of August 2026, there is a road construction (very slow cars) here and a space to pull over (bus stop). Just check if the construction is still here. It took me about 10 minutes to find a ride to Docksta.―martih

It was a pretty decent spot. I tried both the cars coming from Pitea and the cars directly on the highway, one of them I hitched, but it was mostly luck, there was very little traffic in the evening. And there is some place to pull over. Not much, but still a decent spot.―martih

Man and young woman, we waited an hour with a lot of nice gestures but no pickup. Great spot to wait though. My friends found travelling southbound much easier than us. We got to Nordmaling where we had no luck asking at the gas station so we took the train.―Lonelydog

Got a ride to Umeå almost instantly after asking a few people at the gas station. Probably even better in the daytime.―moodeng

Had to wait a while before getting a ride to Umeå. Asking at the four gas stations next to the spot might be better.―moodeng

Good traffic, not much time for cars to react or space to stop. Got a ride to a better place just down the road―moodeng

Plenty of space to stop and decent visibility, but all cars aren't leaving the city. Works okay even after dark.―moodeng

Shit spot, way too fast, not much traffic, confusing and uncomfortable space to pull aside. . Go ask the people up at the hotel, or better yet - don’t get stranded here.―Bigdeidiot

Some middle east immigrants took me, but then they asked me for a money for a ride. I talked with them about idea of hitchhiking and asked them to leave me in first safe spot 20km from Umea. Misunderstanding, but it was respectful from both sides.―mandat

Good spot for rides direction north and not so far from the center as the spot where E12 and E4 meet.―Anonymous

Cars are moving quick here but they can see you from a ways off. This is a separated lane so they can pull of safely. Also there is a small hotel just behind. I caught a ride in 20 min.―Anonymous

This spot is also good to go north despite other spots in the north of Umeå might be more convenientsIt is worth walking down to the A4 roundabout 1 km further south, Many lorry drivers coming from South will stop at this petrol station despite the fact that there is another petrol station northbound. Those were heading to Russia. the reason is that the other petrol station is considered to be rubbish!

Good spot, but not how Podz is writing, not many long-distance drivers will actually stop. But it's good spot to get ride to E4.―Skokan
