*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.
