Lyon
,no edit summary
I hitched on a saturday morning in march and therefore waited about an hour. Traffic is ok but people go all directions in France from here. I had many Dutch cars coming and Germans. They go via Dijon. You just need to be patient and also accept shorter rides. The best would be to get to the next gas station (Ceignes). So ask for Bellgarde for example.
Good luck, hitchhing ! Hitchhing from Lyon to Geneva is bad, as said in the beginning, avoid if possible. Worth thinking about rideshare /Train at least until Geneva if you need to be on time. From Geneva it will be easierbut before. It took me all day to hitch from Lyon to Fribourg in Switzerland which is really unusual. And also, Be careful: there is too many intersections afterwards after Lyon and before Geneva that you risk to get onto the wrong one. (Anemasse/Chambery,Milan..) Bring a very good mapand be informed!! The people in the car dont know as well as you do! In winter all the french cars to skiing so you can be almost 100% sure they are NOT going to Switzerland and they dont even know what the way is as everybody uses a GPS.
