Number plates in CH begin with the two letters representing the Canton the car is from. As I was going to Bern, I flagged down the first BE plate I saw and got an easy ride.

I waited one minute and a VW bus stopped and took me close to Basel. Good spot. And always some traffic I guess, because there is a Shopping Center too.

The spot is not really good. There is not much traffic and it’s pretty small. I got offered some rides to the south, but needed to go to the north. If you ask every car that is coming you will probably get a ride. I was lucky and after like 45 minutes a nice woman took me to the next rest area "würenlos“ which is much bigger! Try to go there if you need to go north/towards Basel.
You can go from one side of the highway to the other using a pedestrian bridge, but you need to climb two relatively big fences.

I had a sign saying "Basel". I wanted to go to the Pratteln service station to stay on the swiss A2 highway. Got picked up by a guy driving to Brugg. He said he was going through Basel, so I took the ride, but actually he went through Lörach. Be aware that there are two entries into Switzerland! Make sure the guy is going the way you want.

As an exit dweller I don't like this place. There is to much going on with weird driving routes around the place. But you can't argue results. I was gone to Basel in 23mins, so I must rate 5 stars.

Great spot to go to Zurich. We waited with a sign and the thumb at the exit. At first it didn't work out so we went closer to the gas station. I even got 10 Francs as a random gift for a "Wegbier".

Gas station WÃ¼relos

I guess a great place towards Basel, if you're hitching with someone who is heading towards Bern it is propably better to get of here than in Gunzgen

Possibility to cross the street to opposite direction.

DATE:

WEATHER:
Cloudy, cool. Starting to rain.

DETAILS:
Police dropped me here -- I should have asked them to drop me at the petrol stop a few km behind because this took too long to land a ride. That's what I get for not researching before I hitch! The spot was fine, but it's mostly local traffic going to and from work. it took me about 3 hours to land a ride, taking me to Lausanne.
