Please note that due to the current (2015/16) discussions and changes in policies concerning asylum seekers and refugees you have to expect ID checks while entering the country, especially from the south. Furthermore you could experiencing problems in any cross-border hitching, especially while travelling north (e.g. from Denmark to Sweden).
When hitching on [[slip roads]] to the motorway, people rather stop if you are at the top of the slip road than at the bottom of it. Most [[on-ramp|ramps]] in Denmark have enough space for cars to stop. This is due to the fact that it is illegal to walk as a pedestrian on the highways (behind the green highway signs). Most [[on-ramp|ramps]] in Denmark have enough space for cars to stop.

Even if though Denmark is part and its neighboring countries are members of Schengen, the previous government planned to implement there has currently been established temporary border controls againon all Danish borders. But after It differs as to which direction your heading and which country is going to perform the last electionborder control and some controls are randomized picks, that proposal was voted againstbut you should always bring your passport to and from Denmark.
'''Sweden'''
From Denmark to Sweden:
You will be checked by Swedish border control. There differences in document requirements:
Citizens of Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden)can use ''passport, driver’s license or national ID''.
EU/EEA (EU+Iceland, Lichtenstein and Norway) citizens can use ''passport and national ID''.
All others'' '''must''' use passport and other relevant documents e.g. visa''.
This applies to all border crossings.
From Sweden to Denmark:
At the moment, no border control is being performed when entering Denmark from Sweden. It is, of course, always recommended to have it and other documents readily available.
The Swedish Departmentof Justice has since Nov. 12th, 2015 upheld the temporary border control. The latest extension expires on Nov. 11th, 2018.
'''Germany'''
From Denmark to Germany:
There is no official border control crossing in this direction. However, as mentioned before, it is recommended to have your passport readily available, as you can be asked to provide proof of citizenship in any Schengen country.
From Germany to Denmark:
Everybody has to be able to provide proof of identity, passport being the universally accepted document. For non-EU/EEA other documents might be required as well.
Since Jan. 4th, 2016, there been a temporary border control in effect from all German crossings (land and sea). The checks are random, but it is not worth the risk.
The latest extension expires on Nov. 12th 2018 (I personally expect a further extension as that possibility has already been opened by the EU-commission - ''LordSkateboard'').
