Munkbäcksmotet is a bus stop on the sliproad going down to the motorway. You can stand at the bus stop if there's nobody waiting for a bus, but it's probably better to stand uphill 10 or 20 metres from the bus stop, so that cars don't think you're waiting for a bus and have time to react and then pull in to the bus stop. Using a sign will also help you look less like a person waiting for a bus.
 
Note: [[User:peregrine||Peregrine]], a lone female traveler had no luck in 2013 after hours of trying the forementioned spots in the rain, until she tried Munkebäcksmotet, which is a bus stop on an on-ramp to E20. There she only waited 20 minutes. However, the ride only went to Vara, which was nearly impossible to hitch hike from, as there is no spot for drivers to pull off from and the cars fly past at 100 km/h. Luckily someone did pick her up after 2 hours of her dancing and jumping and trying everything with a funny sign...he went to Södertällje which was close but meant black riding on a commuter train and bus into the city. So this is just a fair warning to those attempting to hitch hike on E20 - find a ride going the whole way, and the spots mentioned above may not work on rainy days. A pedestrian warned her that drivers would not stop at the main spot mentioned above as the way to pick up a hitch hiker there is illegal, just as is stopping on the motorway - and Swedes don't like disobeying rules. So, take all of this with a grain of salt and be prepared to sleep in a barn in Vara...
