In any case, try to stand in a well-lit place, but handy remembering that for some people, the image of a persons (especially a stranger's) head lit from directly above or below can cast an evil looking shadow around the eyes. Traffic lights could also be OK.

When hitching in a lighted spot such as a major junction or the edge of the city, unless you are exactly sure where the driver offering a ride is heading, '''never ever''' accept rides to "a junction some kilometres down the road". However tempting it may be to get in a vehicle which will make you closer to your destination, you may very well end up in some fairly dark small junction where a narrow village road branches off the highway where you will likely spend hours until someone even dares to stop. Be patient, don't leave your well-lit major junction, and accept rides only to other well-lit major junctions or towns and cities.
