Bad spot, nowhere to stop safely and only a few cars stop, all going to Verbania which is not where i wanted to go but then decided to go to the train station
You get run off by the police. No autostop on the highway...spent 15 minutes here to get kicked off and spent 2 hours trying to hitch from the roundabout but people are going to fast. This spot sucks. Ended up walking down the road.
Seemed like a good spot to go to Russe, a lot of cars, no one cares or stops, we were lucky that a lady who hitchhiked in her youth at least took us like 15 min

Weren’t really able to get to the highway, not a lot of cars, wanted to go to Russe no one stopped
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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)
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
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€)
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
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 :(

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
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.
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
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
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.
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…
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.
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)
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 :)
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
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
space to stop, cars going not too fast, people can see you, but not too many cars
was lucky and had the best time with 2 french travelers. we had lunch by the sea.
