We waited just behind the zebra crosswalk. Not that many cars, but it depends on which time and season. We got lucky and somebody just took us straight to zurich

Stood at the exit with a sign towards Basel, and people smiled. Ended up with a lift to a station just before Basel. Could have asked around and it would have been faster.

We were just unlucky, trying to get to Basel. Otherwise good space for cars to pull over. Finally got a lift to a truckstop just outside town.

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.

We were there for a long time, we took a break that is not included in 60 minutes. Most people don’t go to Zurich or east at all. Tho a great spot to get to Basel. Good space for cart to stop and see you

We’re picked up right when we gave up and start walking. A lot of lokals so even tho a traffic is big, take some time to weight

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.

Good spot to go to Zurich, but harder to get past Zurich. I tried for over an hour to get to rest area Würenlos or further, but no luck. I had a sign with "Basel“ and asked drivers. In the end I took a car that drove towards Zurich airport and got out at “Büsisee“ and crossed the highway to the other site there (fence hopping needed). Tuesday morning at 7:30, 1 male. Maybe later in the day more luck

we were already giving up, cause this spot is horrible, there is a little curb but no one will stop cause there are signs about people cannot stopping, a man took us out of pity, he blocked the road with the car and took us happily to the gas station

VERY few cars stopping, even during rush hour, many local cars not going far, if possible get off at another more busy rest stop

A lot of cars but many going towards Lucerne even though it seems as if they are going north. Mostly swiss people who dont care about hitchhikers

I feel like since you're very much still in the city people most people don't stop but got a ride after 30min, it's not the ideal place but cars cant still stop if they want to.

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.

Sunday is slow, during week would be better, multiple directions possible, Zurich, Fribourg, Lausanne, Bienne. Spot is covered from rain and lots of room for stopping.
