This is the exact spot I used to get out of Istanbul towards Bulgaria, there isn’t much room to stop, but drivers merge onto the highway slowly, and theres a steady flow of cars―Mattalackion

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

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

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

La plej neverŝajna loko por veturigi, pli malbone dumnokte, ĉi tiu benzinstacio estas morta, la ulo, kiu laboras ĉi tie, estas kolera pri la vivo, eble lia sola ĝojo estas nutri la multajn katojn. Mi preskaŭ estis forironta kaj iri al la sekva proksima intersekciĝo meze de mallumo por provi pli bonan ŝancon, tamen kamioneto haltis por ŝanĝi ŝoforojn kaj ili prenis min en la lasta minuto. Mi alvenis ĉi tien pro malbona vojaĝadministrado.―Jurobola

Had to wait a long time on the on ramp until someone stopped, but then got a ride all the way to Istanbul as well as an invitation into a restaurant.―Suip

The pay toll was demolished and so it doesn't exist anymore. Drivers go quite fast here now.―Anonymous

We got two short rides from here each about 3 minutes and then had to walk around 30 minutes to the toll station. From there we waited 1 hour and the. Got to edirne. I'd recommend this way of getting out of Istanbul.―Anonymous

Excellent spot. It took only 10 minutes for the first car to stop, which took me the first 20 kilometers. After that it's easy as always in Turkey. Just hitch right from the highway - no problem.―Tomtom

Police in Turkey are getting quite strict these days but still seems ok to hitchhike here, there is a small parking area with many cars and trucks a few KM after it so just take the first car that stops to there to avoid any problems with the police.―Anonymous

Not the best place to stay, eventually we got a ride of a guy that wanted to help us, but after 2 hours going around Istanbul, left us in a much worse place close to the airport. So be strict with where you want to go. Ask at least for the toll.―Phidias81
