The cars are quite fast, but they can safely stop on bus stop nearby. Idk if it is the best spot, but our driver took us 1000km to Istanbul.―Anonymous

Great spot to get picked up by trucks, they’re coming slowly out of a toll area so you shouldn’t have to wait too long―Mattalackion

Good spot to go East. I was offered a ride easily to Ankara but I refused because my goal was Eskisehir/Bursa. Had a lift to Gebze after 40mn to take the boat BUT most of the drivers don't go to the ferry ⛴️ so they will just let you in a random place in Gebze and you might have to walk 1 hour to go there.―cavalierrustique

Первая же машина ехала в Стамбул, заехал быстрее, чем ожидал, скорее всео потому что заканчивался байрам―Baristina

Spot can be good to go to the Anatolian side but make sure that the people REALLY understand where you want to go. The bus and the regional train is possible to ride without a ticket to the east of Istanbul (train until Gebze)―zare

I tried hitchiking yesterday in other recommended spots but no chance.I just walked here 6 am and no one care about me. I mean Police don't care that you are going there.
I found a car to Istambul in 2 minutes. [easy to catch much further because my driver went to Adana].
The trucks drive 5km/h here

First I waited 90min before and after toll station. Heavy traffic and somewhat slow. Then I asked the guards at the toll station and they said I can stay right next to it. After all HH on the highway is illegal (?) but most people are chill af. Took another 30min to find truck driver who took me.―GermanyToIndia

Decent spot. I stood before the ramp rather than on it. Got here with few rides from Göreme. Cars go very fast but there's room to stop and there's enough of traffic. Tried first with a "Ankara" sign and after that thumb. Got lucky with a direct ride to Istanbul.―VeikkaK

En mia vojaĝo al Japanio senhalti, Mi provis dum preskaŭ 2 horaj uzante la ŝildon Bolu/Ankara, inkluzive en la aŭtovojo dum kekaj minutoj, unofoje ke ĝi estis malrapida ĉar la trafikŝtopiĝo, sed mi nur estis invitita al Gebze kelkaj fojo. Mi ke kredas ke estas la plej bona. Sed vendredo postagmezo estas tre freneza kaj kaosa. Eble se tie ne fluas vi povas akepti kaj iri a la parkejo antaŭen. Sed Gebze estas nerekomendita. Sorry.―Jurobola

Got a ride with a very nice guy who spotted us. A good place to leave Istanbul towards east with a lot of cars―Andrito

Easy to hik out of Istanbul. But if you are heading east at least take a ride until Izmit.―rebski539

its a bad place to HH,but if u really want to get out of the town by HH, u can select this conjuction spot of most roads. The road is wide, but many space on right to stop and take you for cars. No trucks are going through here. I recommend to take a bus and go further as possible as you can.―Anonymous

This is the main road that goes through east of Turkey, especially Ankara. When you HH before or after the Paybox, u can be a very kind guest of a truck driver.―Anonymous
