=== South towards [[Italy]] ===
The best spot is located, at a rotary 1.5 miles out of Chamonix. From there every car goes immediately to the Mt Blanc Tunnel so. To get to the rotary, you have to walk the Route Blanches (D 1506) westbound. Take care there, there's no sidewalk, but you can walk on the grass.
Aug 2018: Could not find a good spot near the rotary, so found a perfect lay by a few hair pins up the road towards the tunnel, right by a toilet. Approximate location: 45°54'18.1"N 6°51'38.8"E. Forest trails lead up to this point (don't walk on the highway). The pull over spot is soon after a hair pin so most cars will have plenty of time to see you. A sign is recommended, as you probably want a ride that takes you in the direction you want (Milan or Turin/Genova), rather than to Aoste.
