Germans were rather unwilling to stop as there was not enough space to stop. I was exactly at the intersection to get both sides traffic. I was lucky as a guy came in a huge BMW stopped in the middle of the road just to let me in, oblivious of the others cars behind him! He then drove me fast to Karlsruhe (up to 180km/...

This petrolstation is permanently closed. Getting into slovenia is extremely hard now. I would recommend black riding a train into slovenia if you don’t want 2/6 hours waiting times.

It‘s not that easy to get to the spot but its possible, and then all the cars going south will come by you and its easy for them to stop. Got a ride extremely fast.

Since there's no way people can stop after the roundabout towards the mottorway, better stand here to go east. I didn't wait long before someone brought me to Orastie, which was a more convenient place to join the mottorway

The bus stop is a good spot to catch a quick ride around the valley (to Obertauern and such). Cars going fast but have just enough time to notice you. If no one picks you up you can always take the bus which costs around 4 euros (at least that was our plan).

Low traffic and also very few cars going south (mayby also because it was already later in the day), probably fine if youre going west. Had to ask around to get a short ride past the highway crossing. At least we were entertained by rats running around the parking lot :D.

Long wait if you are going to Salzburg. Most cars go to Germany. Definitely not the best but there probably isnt a better one around (next time I would try to get a ride past this). If you dont mind waiting someone will eventually take you.

We waited at the nearby roundabout for over 2 hours. Only when we passed we realized this would have been a much better spot. Don't make the same mistake, go to this spot straight away, it's much easier for cars to stop.

We were probably unlucky about time, because we had to sleep at this gas station and waited long time next day, bad i guess, usually it should be better spot (showers are not the best)

Pretty easy I got there with a sign “BLED”. I didn’t hitchhike at the bus stop though there was just too much commotion with elementary kids, teenagers, and what have you. So I just hitchhiked before the traffic light and had high visibility. However the sun is so hot and barring so be careful.

A car stopped almost instantly, but I felt pretty lucky. I also slept close to this spot and can only recommend it. It's only 2–3 km to a nice area where you can find a place to pitch a tent. There are two ponds to the south; I took a swim in the southern one.

The spot itself is great. I was trying to get onto the A3, so it took me half an hour before a car going that way eventually stopped for me.

The Hitchhiking Rides Dataset

image

Here the dataset described in Hitchhiking Rides Dataset: Two decades of crowd-sourced records on stochastic traveling is published.

Download the full dataset. To better understand the format that is used read about the Hitchhiking Data Standard.

This dataset is updated weekly with the latest rides via https://github.com/Hitchwiki/maps.hitchwiki.org and contains rides from all hitchhiking apps listed here.

This is the largest dataset of crowd-sourced real-world hitchhiking rides. Data has been collected on online platforms such as maps.hitchwiki.org, liftershalte.info, hitchwiki.org and hitchmap.com starting in 2005 until today.

If you found something insightful while looking at this dataset, please share it with the hitchhiking community.

Dataset Structure

The structure that this dataset follows is described in the Hitchhiking Data Standard.

Every top-level field of a hitchhiking record is included as a column: version, stops, rating, hitchhikers, comment, signals, occupants, mode_of_transportation, ride, declined_rides, no_ride, images, source, license and submission_time.

The nested fields — stops, hitchhikers, signals, occupants, mode_of_transportation, ride, declined_rides, no_ride and images — are stored as JSON strings rather than as Arrow structs. Their keys are optional and evolve across rides, so a fixed nested schema would be inconsistent and would drop fields. Parse them back with json.loads(), e.g. in pandas: df["stops"] = df["stops"].map(json.loads). A column whose field is absent from every ride currently present will show as all-null.

Dataset Creation & Bias, Risks, and Limitations

A dataset paper was published on arXiv to address the above questions.
