Hitchhikers often debate about whether to use a '''sign'''. If you decide to use one there are several important things:
* Think well about what place or text to put on it: use well known places, and sometimes also road names can be used or more humorous phrases (''"I don't stink"'').
In conflict with the above, a sign only makes sense when you stand next to the road. At the petrol station you could better show the driver on a map where you want to go and so he can show you where he can take you. You even don’t need to speak his language for that. The big problem with signs is that the driver must read it, then he must wonder if goes the same direction, than he wants to know if he likes your face and if he can stop somewhere...but than he realises that he passed you, he is now 500m away from you ...so he will decide to drive on!

If you just use your thumb the driver only has to decide if he likes you and if he can stop his car in this place.
If he is going the right way, you can find out when he stops.
