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―Anonymous

Great for Destinations in Switzerland/ North. Waited for 15min and a rich guy took us to Zug. Which is very close to our Destination Zurich―Anonymous

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

Lucky to get picked up before I even got my sign out. Space for cars to pull over. Got all the way to a city next to Zurich―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

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

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―Frogpeople

We literally crossed the border, wrote a sign and started walking to a MacDonalds with the sign attached to a backpack. Before we were even able to cross the road a car stoped next to us and this amazing German tourists pick us up. This is a 10 out of 5. Amazing―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

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―travelwithlaro
