== Toll Booths ==
In some countries the motorways or a part of them are toll roads, so the places where drivers stop to pay might be very good spots to get a ride, since all the traffic going your direction can see you. Other type of toll booths is only stopping the traffic joining/leaving the motorway on one particular exit, there the traffic will be much more weak.
=== Pros ===
*All the through traffic on the motorway slows down and stops
*In most cases there is a good visibility and many room to pull down
=== Cons ===
*On roads with heavy traffic they are very huge and only the cars from the first lanes can see you (for example on the highways leaving [[Paris]]
*It might be forbidden for pedestrians (and consequently for hitchers). The way it is enforced (or not enforced) vary greatly though, depending on the country you're in, and even within the same country depending on the network you're on and your particular luck that day. Sometimes the motorway staff can call the police if they see you, other times police passes by and doesn't care.
