Hitchhiking in winter can sometimes be very complex.

For the more advanced hitchhikers, as well as for the beginner, there are some essential rules to take care of:

  • First and most important: Wear warm clothes!
  • Limited daylight: In winter, most time of the day it might be cold and dark. As, for example, in Western Europe, sunlight at some point only appears for some 8 hours per day, which means that it can be dark at 5 in the afternoon already. As for the hitchhiker, if he doesn't support hitchhiking at night, means that the routes might be chosen carefully.
  • When on an on-ramp, bring a torch to shine light on yourself and your sign. You should also try to stand someplace where there is a lot of light from the streetlights.
