Originally we had a sign for Innsbruck but most of the traffic at the mall is local. After changing it to feldkirch we got a ride pretty quickly.

Traffic going in all directions out of Lindau. Lots of Austrian and Swiss cars. Cars can easily pull into the gas station.

hard to believe but maybe this is a great spot. no space to pull over rlly but cars stop for the red light so you have some time to charm them with your great sign and pretty smiles.
fair amount of traffic and ppl were really friendly - we even got handed a wedge of cheese from a guy waiting at the red light because he was so excited to see hitchhikers.

loads of traffic for switzerland, a lot of people cross the border for work so getting here early you catch commuter traffic to st gallen etc. also a few swiss cars driving by with sg plates, bathroom at the petrol station right behind to refill water and bins filled with cardboard for all your sign making needs :-)

There were borderchecks going on so didn't expect much, but still got a ride in 3 minutes.

There is not many cars going to directio of Landquart and Liechtenstein (maybe 1 every 4 minutes) but once that the car train arrived there was a lot of cars coming at once and thats how i got the ride.

Perfect for going to western Austria - we found a ride to our goal (Vorarlberg) almost immediately. In the first 2 minutes of waiting, we spotted three Vorarlberg plates and in the end a swiss guy who turned up minutes later took us straight to our home :)

It was a bit tricky, but in theory cars can stop easily. There are a lot of cars coming by but it took long until the first person stopped.

Directly in front of the gate for the first parking lot. It took a little, but it worked out really well (obviously also a bit lucky). You can also try to ask at the parkin lots, people offered us rides but not in the needed direction.

Suuuper dead gas station at least towards west. To Innsbruck it shouldn't be an issue but I don't recommend it for Feldkirch. Thr bakery next door is a bit more busy but still maybe 10 cars at once, 9 of which are heading to Innsbruck. I got very very lucky to get out of here quickly.

Got a ride to the Austrian-German border, most of the cars were heading towards Switzerland though.
