After hiking the mountain I ended up in this ethnic minority village and got the ride by motorbike really fast
40.3075, 44.3657
Great spot for direction to Yerevan, has free wifi from the fuel station

Followed other users advice. Spot is OK, although cars are moving fast and have to decide late whether to stop for you on the small gravel area before the freeway. After 30 mins we got offered a lift to padrón, 25km further south. It was a mistake to accept, there was only local traffic here. Recommend if using this spot, wait until you get offered a lift till Pontevedra or further, nothing closer.

No a lot of french plates but got a ride almost to the border
50.9374, 4.4748
Not a lot of traffic. But asked around at the electric charger and somebody drove me to a bigger petrol station on the other side of the city
43.7760, -1.2043
Great spot, small road but nice people and good safety
44.7808, -0.6492
Quite a safe spot, 25% of the car go in the south direction, cars are slow after roundabouts and there's a bit of space to stop after and before the last roundabout
51.9832, 4.3939
51.9943, 4.3826
Not a lot of traffic
50.9374, 11.5575
44.2199, 15.4550
The spot seems perfect - just before a highway entry, a lot of space to stop, good visibility
Maybe I'm just unlucky, or maybe it's bad traffic, idk

Were dropped off here as a part of our trip to Weliko Tarnowo Велико Търново. Didn’t look to promising, we started asking people. Not a lot spoke English. We had a sign for the place and bought a cheap but pretty tasty coffee. Then a woman approached us and said she is going all the way to Weliko Tarnowo. So i guess we were really lucky but still a good place to ask people for a ride
42.7032, 23.3876
With a sign it worked after 5 min, had a sign to Weliko Tarnowo ( written in bulgarian Велико Търново) and a guy took us 45 min in the direction and dropped us off at a gas station on the highway
We are 2 people male and female
52.2013, 6.8902
Probably the best spot from enschede towards the west
52.3249, 6.6476
Traffic was very low but got picked up fairly quickly. Make sure to stand behind the highway sign. Cars have space to stop for you.
52.4008, 6.2676
Great spot.
52.5364, 6.0952
44.2394, 15.3987
Passable place to stop, decent visibility
44.2719, 15.3394
There is a decent place to stop, and drivers go slow after the roundabout
43.9869, -102.2393
Sheriff threatened to arrest me over ANYHING because he didn't want me hitching there. Just didn't like me being there doing what I was lawfully allowed to do.
48.4408, -113.2189
Straight thumbed it here twice. Once was because a conductor was driving all the way to Columbia Falls because they shut the RR down for maintenence for a huge saith of Montana. The other time I was detouring due to another train issue. Both times I was understandably sans cardboard.
48.5123, -111.8697
Ton of traffic going to Cut Bank because Shelby won't let a dispensary open. It's on the high line so a lot of people pass through here.
46.6169, -112.0100
Lots of room to pull over and tons of traffic going to Great Falls
46.8696, -113.9809
You wouldn't think that this is a good spot being in the city, but it just works.
67.4087, 26.5748
Rather active gas station even at evening. Can ask directly from folks or signal in front of the entrance/bus stop. Speed is moderate since south bound cars come from an intersection.
Russian language came at hand when an Ukrainian driver accepted me to travel with her. She raced against the clock to Rovaniemi so I could catch a bus. Caught it. <3

41.3188, 19.4713
Cars can stop good here. No Trucks only cars headed to Tirana for work. Rather long wait tho
42.9959, 22.8375
Walked through the boarder at 20:00 at night but we still got a lift. Every car passing pretty much goes to Sofia. Stood by the pedestrian crossing.
Boy and girl + Sofia sign.
Granted we did get pulled over 30 mins later and our guy was 3x over the legal limit blood alcohol percentage.
Still made it B)
44.0181, -73.1665
Good spot for heading to Burlington.
47.9560, 13.7293
Not very great spot, but the best option out of there. We got a ride pretty quickly.
41.1258, 20.7869
It's really hard to get out from Ohrid in this direction but I still think that this is the best spot for doing so. While waiting I got two offers but both were in different direction than I was going. After over 4 hours I got ride quite far away on my way towards Skopje
43.5095, -0.9214
We thumbed a ride to Saint Jean Pied de Port within 5 minutes.
50.5457, 3.0510
Nice layby, was there during a lot of traffic. I thought this spot was really good but took me awhile

Local ride to Rutland.
43.3490, 17.8128
Too short to mark, but maybe anorher time will be better. Good place to stay for cars which go from east centre on bus stop.
43.4769, 1.3188
Got a ride in 3 minutes to the next gas station, which is a much better place for long-distance rides.
43.3368, 1.2457
Brilliant! Held a sign saying "Ouest" and the first guy I showed it to took me and my partner to Orthez.
38.2346, 22.0794
Tried to get a ride to Athens, but had no luck, very low traffic, but lots of busses going to Athens stop here, so you can do as I did after two to three hours of waiting and ask them if they take you with them (ticket is ~20€)
45.7499, 16.3031
Much better spot for getting out of Zagreb. Italian couple took us all the way to Belgrade.
Boy girl
45.7948, 16.1546
Not the best spot for a Tuesday morning. There was no traffic from the service station or fast food, so we had to switch from a Belgrade sign to a +10kms and try at the roundabouts. After a while a guy stopped (in the middle of the road) and said he could get us down the road a bit. We paid for this toll and he dropped us at the first petrol station.
If u can I would say avoid this spot.

Perfect spot to hitchhike south, people can easily pull over on the side of the road. Got a lift to Cahul in less than one minute.
An advice : don't go to the fake authentic Gagauz museum and restaurant just nearby. It's awfully kitsh and full of organized tours tourists, not at all a cheap authentic local place
46.0283, 14.4800
Bangin, hella good spot. Got scooped up in 30 mins and taken all the way to Zagreb. Had a Zagreb sign - Boy, Girl
43.9528, 21.3668
I agree with the fuck ass spot comment, as there wasn’t much traffic, but we got a lift (in a taxi?!? For free!) Don to a station outside of Niš. Not much shade. Couldn’t see the tire :(
Boy girl
44.6633, 20.6124
Super good spot for getting out of Belgrade. We got the 461 bus and walked on the dirt roads next to the highway (few stray dogs that were territorial but not aggressive) and then climbed up where there was a small road underpass where there was no fence.
Got scooped up and dropped halfway to Niš, you could probably wait until u get a car going all the way there
Boy girl, sign for NIŠ
45.1795, 5.7888
Never seen a spot where you can input your destination on an electronic sign, what a luxury
52.4116, 0.7653
Lots of traffic heading East good visibility off the roundabout and place to pull in on driveway to private estate.
Managed to get lift of start of Peddars Way.
52.2613, 7.8478
Great young Germans took us to Amsterdam, sled around with sign in hand
41.9983, 41.7805
Waited at the crossing going East towards Shroma
41.9947, 41.7808
Great going north or south.
We were waiting in front of the gas station towards Batumi
42.0047, 41.8195
41.9894, 41.8368
Easy as long as there are people going your way
41.9632, 2.7898
50.6318, 3.0809
Maybe I got lucky but asking the cars at the stop light got me a ride really fast, as opposed to the other side of the street. Not far but out of the city centre
50.6316, 3.0810
I think it’s mostly local traffic. I also think drivers don’t think they know they can pullover into the little exit. Left here walked across the crosswalk and started asking cars at the red light
52.2649, 8.0062
Great spot, don’t go on a Tankstelle it’s not a good spot, many people go there to the city instead of autobahn, go exactly here, drivers stop normally on the road.
38.3038, 21.8029
Don’t go to the toll station either, got kicked of there by the police
38.3154, 21.8277
Don’t even bother trying the highway, just take the old national road and go in smaller steps
38.3167, 21.8302
Do NOT go to the toll station! Got kicked out by the police…
41.9618, 2.7890
Police told us to leave
38.3038, 21.8029
The toll station is two kilometres down the road now. Try to catch a ride from the port directly to there, don’t walk, don’t make the same mistake I did…
42.2258, 2.9519
Sign said Barcelona at first. After 45 min we changed it to Girona and got a ride 15 min later
38.3038, 21.8029
ATTENTION: they moved the toll station, it is NOT here anymore! Do not go here!

Same as the other way around: ferry is free for pedestrians and goes approx every twenty minutes
38.3853, 22.0861
Kind of have to revoke what I said before, because although there is low traffic, after some 90 minutes a friendly greek picked me up and made actually a pretty big detour to get me all the way to antirrio. So clouted down to cars that where passing, this is actually a pretty good quota.
51.0125, 5.3317
Really good stop. A lot of people who go to Antwerp, even late in the day. Took me 30s to find someone.
38.3853, 22.0861
Might have been a good spot, if there was traffic. But there wasn’t…
54.1888, 9.9326
Slept there in a tent next to the resting area it was a pretty good spot for that
In the morning I got a ride in less than a minute all the way to Flensburg (but even though I got lucky I would usually just ask people to bring you to the next bigger gas station with better traffic and try to get a long ride from there on)
54.1801, 9.9434
This is a shitty spot to get north but there is some traffic to Hamburg I always prefer being dropped at a gas station or resting area where it's just one direction so if you have the opportunity for that do that
I waited in the evening so there wasn't much traffic to Flensburg so I ended up waiting more than 2 hours until it got dark but luckily there is a resting area 2km away to which I just walked where I slept in my tent
In the morning I got a ride from there on in less than a minute (but even though I got lucky with that I would usually just ask people to bring you to the next bigger gas station with better traffic and try to get a long ride from there on)
So if you have the chance try to get dropped off there or at some gas station before this place
And DONT trust people who never hitchhiked before in saying which spots are good to get the next ride had to learn it the hard way
But if you're already there keep up the smile and good luck and keep in mind even if it doesn't work out you can just walk to the next better spot you're going to get a ride sooner or later anyways :)
45.8955, 3.1463
Right as I was about to give up, a truck driver stopped and drove me to Tours ! Good spot, you can use the roll station's toilets and refill your water ther2

45.1943, 5.7174
The parking lot spot doesn't existe anymore, there is construction going on
45.2256, 5.9953
Asked around in the parking lot after descending from lac de Crop
41.3699, 19.6850
many cars and space to stop, cars can see you, many going to Tirana, just a little fast
everywhere from here to the next 400m is good
41.3692, 19.6886
Had to cross the highway which was a little scary but i managed Industrial area and lots of cars, around 17:00 everybody going home and many people to Tirana, because of that also some traffic jam so enough time for people to pull over
41.3940, 19.6566
UPDATE
actually I picked the wring spot on the map, the right spot is a little further in direction of tirana
41.2038, 19.5356
lots of space to stop, cars can see you, but cars going fast
was lucky and truckdriver took me to vorë
40.1751, 19.6052
for going birthday pretty decent, many cars and space to stop,
german tourists took me to right before durres
40.0637, 19.8498
space to stop, cars going not too fast, people can see you, but not too many cars

39.8687, 20.0212

space to stop but cars going relatively fast. maybe best spot in gjirokaster.

40.2930, 20.0212
Space to stop and people can see you for long time, not a lose of cars but also not little amount.
german tourist took me to gjirokaster
40.2407, 20.3551
had to wait for some time, no locals wanted to take me, i think many stayed in the area, finally some german tourist picked me up who were going to Tirana.
40.3320, 20.6790
Really few cars going further south from here. I got super lucky and met people from before who were going all the way to Permët.
We even went to see the Hot Springs together
40.6084, 20.7759
had to wait pretty long in comparison to other parts of Albania
from now on the further south you go the more complicated it gets to find a ride
some guys stopped but wanted money, then a guy luckily took me to erseke
43.2398, -73.0101
Local traffic. Another pond hop forward.
40.8981, 20.6910
few cars, wanted to walk to the main road but had my thumb us, I was lucky and some guys took me to Korçë but not a great spot. Probably better to walk to main road
43.1744, -73.0287
Local traffic. Dropped at next town up.
41.1079, 20.0715
Cars going relatively slow, time to see you and space to stop
got a ride to Pogradec pretty quickly
