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

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

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
