Very few cars stopping for a rest stop here and continuing on east it seems, mostly locals, but due to highway construction i think cars heading east will choose the road leading east instead of going back on the highway. Got picked up anyway by a crew of italian skiers, great times.―Frederik

Perfect spot for going further south, almost too easy, just wave a sign and ask everyone you see―Frederik

not crazy busy, with most traffic to bern. if like me you're trying to go to basel, it's tricky but look out for lucerne (LU) license plates.some international cars (D/I/A/B/NL).

petrol station closed as of 10/01/2025, but cars still stop for coffee and bathroom. probably a better stop when open (and more patient than me), i was worried by the low traffic and took the first reasonable ride after asking ppl having breakfast in the restaurant.particularly good for zurich, and a fair amount of german cars

Lots of traffic, not enough space to pull over, a lady coming from France, working in Switzerland gave me a lift. I think she was going through that spot due to some construction work on th highway―Anonymous

Gas station GunzgenMost cars towards Bern, some towards Basel. Würenlos might be the better choice towards Basel, but anyways, it's well possible here to get a ride

Not really a good spot. Only decent for traffic coming from the east. There is some space to stop just before the roundabout. Enough traffic on a workday morning, otherwise little.―Anonymous
