Great spot for going towards Chur. Decent traffic and there is space for cars to pull over at the beginning of the ramp to the motorway. I ended up getting a ride to Sargans with an elderly woman going home.

Lots and lots of traffic but not that much space to pull over after the fire station. Probably the best spot to go south from Zürich though. Still got a ride with a local going into the mountains in about 45 mins.

Waited just over an hour and a quarter. Was trying to go to Zurich HB, got offered to Zurich weizekon. Was there between 15:15 and about 16:35. Everyone was going to Basel? Bit unfriendly. Be ready for a long wait

A family of 3 heading to Austria agreed to drop us off at our hotel in Schaam. Had a fun conversation about Power rangers for the whole trip with an 8 year old in German (and I don't speak German lol)

Good showers and facilities. Quiet on weekdays. Took a lift to south end of lake Zurich for fear of getting stuck. One man one woman one wheelchair.

not a great spot, but reasonable, not many cars stopping - guy gave us a lift towards sargans and then bought us even a ticket to Sevelen (cause we were trying to get to Vaduz)

not a great spot because of the border on the side and many busses stopping on the bus station.

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

It worked very well.
Some stoped first but went into the wrong direction. After that we got a ride in the right direction. Very nice conversation!

Bad spot.
Theoretically I should work because there is a gas station with space to park right next to it.
We asked around when people stopped for a refill and also show our sign.
However, it was hard to find a ride.
We got a ride for about 10 min. up to the highway from where we found another ride after 15 minutes. I recommend going for that if possible.

Good spot but difficult for cars to stop - saturday afternoon however wasnt too busy - 1 car every 25 seconds roughly so it meant that they had time to stop without causing traffic

Very active service station. Had no trouble finding a ride standing at the exit. In 10 minutes I was offered 2 rides to Zurich but I declined and the 3rd few minutes after took me past Bern. Probably possible to find rides to Lausanne and Geneva if you're lucky.

Literally the 3rd car coming across the border took me to Switzerland.

Helped a Ukrainian man as he didn’t have data and he wanted to get to Germany, so he was happy to take me to Liechtenstein as it was on his way.

I was walking up and hitching a ride with an A3 highway sign and a man stopped, took me to the nearest service station on the highway but before that he fed me a big ass Swiss meal. 🥰

2 guys, 12AM weekday

No success in finding ride to Vaduz, we switched to sign "Next gas station" in German and managed to find a ride in 15 minutes.
