perfect spot for berne/lausanne (and also geneve), got took in lausanne with a direct ride in almost 40-45minfully recommend it : lots of space to stop (bus stop) and lots of traffic that drive slow
good luck the place is perfect 🙌🏼

Very quick to Zürich with space to pull over at the motorway entrance. Some traffic but most should be going to Zürich or beyond. Ended up getting a ride with a Kosovan Albanian living in Zürich and his father in 5 minutes.―Arcturus

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.―Finn147

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.―Finn147

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.―daniellorell

i waited before the gas entrance so people had a lot of time to see me and could pull into the gas station, not sure if waiting by the roundabout is better tho. got a ride pretty quickly towards zurich―teef

i got lucky here but doesn’t seem like a bad spot at all especially if you wait before the light. i was trying to head west to olten and i had tolls off on maps for routing so it showed me this route, when in fact no one heads west from the airport from here. this kind man pulled over to tell me that but he happened to be going that direction, so he ended up taking me to baden train station and bought me a train ticket and a beer :))―teef

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―Frogpeople

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.1 male

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―jack

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

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―Frederik

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.―Cabrita4
