These spots can be found in [[the Netherlands|Netherlands]] in [[Amsterdam]], [[Groningen]], [[Utrecht]] and [[Zoetermeer]]. Former official hitchhiking spots in [[Den Haag]] and [[Nijmegen]] are not signposted anymore, however still very suitable for hitching. In Germany there is an official hitchhiking spot in [[Kiel]]. Official hitchhiking spots exist in cities in [[Cuba]] and [[Israel]].
Designated hitchhiking spots are much more numerous in the countryside in some countries, especially in [[Belgium]] (VAP and Coivoit'stop), where hundreds of such spots exist. Also in Belgium still some of the designated hitchhiking spots created in 1978 are signposted, both in cities and on the countryside for example in [[Brussels]]. There are many local initiatives that support short distance hitchhiking with designated spots in [[France]]. In [[Germany]] local hitchhiking is encouraged by placing so-called ''Mitfahrerbänke'' (ride benches). These benches allow for a relaxed way of waiting for a local driver to pick people up. The development of these local designated sites is usually related to reduced public transport service.
