Everyone is welcome to add his idea about this stuff, also would be great if you add your personal opinion about rated countries. The Hitchability is a new feature at the hitchwiki.

Currently there are some info-boxes on the country articles, for example at Bulgaria or the Netherlands. For having a quick view how the country is rated for hitchhiking, there is a point called Hitchability and a thumb next to it. Here's the legend of the thumbs: 

Legend: Verygood.png (very good) | Good.png (good) | Average.png (average) | Bad.png (bad) | Senseless.png (senseless)

For adding a rating, just add this text to the infobox:

|hitch = {{good}}

if you want to rate it good. Possible ratings are {{Very Good}}, {{Good}}, {{Average}}, {{Bad}} and {{Senseless}}

Discussion

  • There is the idea that we add some sort of voting system to the wiki, because this rating is quite subjective from the view of the author, and for him a country can be seen as senseless while other people hitched there a dozen times easily.
    • That could be something similar to the ratings system on digihitch.
    • Found two extensions here, maybe useful? Did someone knows better solutions? 1 , 2
  • Maybe we can discuss possible ratings for countries on this page, and the more people add their opinion, we can come to a conclusion for countries.
  • A solution could be to improve the categorisation by defining countries between a 'gap' such as: Good to Average. Another one could be to eliminate the general use of the extremes.Maplefanta 01:15, 23 December 2007 (CET)
    • Jep, such as "good to average" sounds good, but for me it is a bit a spongy statement. Maybe a rating system might be perfect. Everyone give a number (from 1=bad to 5=fantastic) and then the average shows you best what people think. This is not solved yet and so we try to find this average here via this article ;-) platschisite, wikitalk 21:14, 26 December 2007 (CET)

Rated countries

  • Germany
    • Good.png (good) I think Germany is good for hitchhiking, easily to hitch the whole country east-west of north-south in one day, but still some areas where hitching is more difficult. so no very good from me. platschisite, wikitalk 14:45, 16 December 2007 (CET)
    • Average.png (average) I hate hitchhiking in Germany. There is often a lot of traffic, so you don't wait long for rides, but you wait impossibly long in cars. Also, the weather is less than ideal, most of the time. Germany is often chilly and rainy, even in summer! However, when you consider the cost of the average German train ticket, I suppose hitchhiking really is the only way to go. Sometimes, you'll get lucky when hitchhiking at night in Germany, because there is less traffic and rides can go fast, but often, there are also more drunk drivers on the roads at night. On the whole, the myth that "Most Germans speak good English" is total rubbish, as every time I hitchhike through, less than 30% of my rides speak _any_ English at all. amylin
    • Good.png (good) I love hitchhiking in Germany. There is a lot of traffic and always someone going your way. Cars tend to go really fast so you can go faster than public transport. The country also offers a great opportunity to learn German ;) guakasite, wikitalk 23:25, 2 June 2008 (CEST)
  • Netherlands
    • Good.png (good) Also good as far as I experienced. Not Very Good because people sometimes behave like assholes, showing the middle finger or pushing the horn when they see you. Never experienced that in for example Bulgaria or Germany. platschisite, wikitalk 15:21, 16 December 2007 (CET)
  • United States
    • Might be better to add a specific rating for each state? platschisite, wikitalk 14:45, 16 December 2007 (CET)
      • That is an absolute, it could even be extend to the regions in most countries. Maplefanta 01:17, 23 December 2007 (CET)
  • Costa Rica
    • Average.png (average) Small distance rides are very common on the coast. Long distance hitchhiking works but you ve got to wait some time. Fabzgy 18:56, 29 December 2007 (CET)
  • Bulgaria, Romania
    • Verygood.png (very good) Great country for hitchhiking and friendly people. For that also a lot of hitchhikers there. platschisite, wikitalk 15:21, 16 December 2007 (CET)
    • Also for Romania, I guess. Even someone's 80+ grandma' is hitching out there. platschisite, wikitalk 21:14, 26 December 2007 (CET)
  • Ireland
  • Afghanistan, Iraq
    • Senseless.png (senseless) - Guess everyone agrees with that.
      • At least form some areas in Iraq, I heard something else. --MrTweeksite, wikitalk 18:22, 24 December 2007 (CET)
      • Well I guess your body member can travel easily in different area of Iraq, your head goes somewhere and thumb somewhere else... I'm pretty sure that is a plain Senseless.png (senseless) Maplefanta 21:35, 24 December 2007 (CET)
      • Jep, I guess you mean what Iris told us this September. But according to the Iraq article, situation changed in the North through the Turkey-PKK conflict, and I guess currently it would be more wise to give it a senseless at the moment. Hopefully we can change this status in the future to a more positive way. platschisite, wikitalk 21:14, 26 December 2007 (CET)
  • Belgium
    • Good.png (good) to Verygood.png (very good) - might be ok.
  • France
    • Good.png (good) ?
      • Average.png (average) I would say it really depends where you are hitchhiking, in montains area such as the alps it's really easy to get a lift, but in the south-east (Nice-Marseille...) it's quite dificult cause there is a kind of paranoia about hitchhiking, probably because of the higher rates of criminality in this area. Anyway if you go hitchake in the highway you can do as much as 800 km in a day.--Kimdime69 10:41, 17 August 2008 (CEST)
  • Morocco
    • Good.png (good), according to article and what people said. platschisite, wikitalk 21:14, 26 December 2007 (CET)
