The '''Horgos-Röszke border crossing''' links [[Hungary]], near the city of [[Szeged]], with [[Serbia]] near the town of Horgos.
 
The crossing is situated on the E75, which is a motorway to [[Budapest]] and an express carriageway to [[Novi Sad]]. There is heavy traffic, both trucks and cars. Walking across this border is permitted, and in fact you should get out of the car and walk across because there is often a long wait for border controls.

Sometimes there's no problem with standing a few meters down from passport control, and you might even see other hitchhikers. At other times, the police may ask you to move to the petrol station further 1.5 km down the road. However, if they ask you to move, it often suffices to walk another 200 m down to the green road sign and hitch from there.
