The reason why this exact spot works particularly well is because of a traffic light that naturally stops the vehicles that turn in here. If you stand just alongside where they're turning in, they'll have time to see you and pull out of line onto the tram tracks for a few seconds. Make sure to use a sign.
The E20 is not a fast or big motorway, but an excellent route to truly see the Swedish countryside from.
A possibly better spot is Munkebäcksmotet (marked on map) to get a ride out of town, at least to Alingsås because the freeway ends there and you can continue hitchhiking on the road[http://maps.google. To get to Munkebäcksmotet from The Central Station take bus number 513 or 515 to direction Polhemsplatsen (costs 16,50 SEK but com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=it is possible to blackride as well)&msa=0&msid=118215905716686756957.000448147f6ec7cb40744&ll=57.

Try to get to Alingsås if possible. Munkbäcksmotet not look like much, but there is a bus stop lot of heavy traffic entering this on the sliproad going down to the motorway-ramp at all times. You can stand at the bus stop if there's nobody waiting for The reason why this exact spot works particularly well is because of a bus, but it's probably better to stand uphill 10 or 20 metres from traffic light that naturally stops the bus stop, so vehicles that cars don't think turn in here. If youstand just alongside where they're waiting for a bus and turning in, they'll have time to react see you and then pull in to out of line onto the bus stoptram tracks for a few seconds. Using Make sure to use a sign will also help you look less like a person waiting for a bus.
Note: [[User:peregrine|Peregrine]], a lone female traveler had no luck in 2013 after hours of trying the forementioned spots in the rain, until she tried A possibly better spot is Munkebäcksmotet(marked on map), which is a bus stop on an on-ramp the sliproad going down to E20the motorway. Either take bus number 513 or 515 in the direction There she only waited 20 minutes. However''Polhemsplatsen'' (a ticket is 16, the ride only went to Vara50 SEK, which was nearly impossible but it is possible to hitch hike from, blackride as there is no spot for drivers to pull off from and well) or take the cars fly past at 100 km/h. Luckily someone did pick her up after 2 hours of her dancing and jumping and trying everything with a funny sign...he went tram to Södertällje which was close but meant black riding on a commuter train ''Munkebäckstorget'' and bus into the citywalk north 10 minutes from there. So this is just a fair warning to those attempting to hitch hike on E20 - find a ride Most drivers are going the whole wayonly short distances, and the spots mentioned above may not work on rainy daystowns they go to are virtually impossible to hitchhike out of. A pedestrian warned her that drivers would not stop at the main spot mentioned above as the way Try to get to pick up a hitch hiker there is illegalAlingsås, just as is stopping on where the motorway - ends and Swedes don't like disobeying rules. So, take all of this with a grain of salt and be prepared to sleep in a barn in Vara..you can hitchhike directly on the roadside.
