What hitchhikers said along this route

“Enough place to stop, people coming from the south can easily see you from the trafic light, and everybody is going to the A6. We were taken to the next petrol station, few km after that, I would rather advise you to find someone going further.”

“got here from the Pont Kichener stop light in the center of Lyon, which worked pretty good even though there wasn't very much traffic at 7am. At the service station I only waited for about 10 min before getting a lift up to Dijon. The third person I asks said hop in.”
