Hitchiking in Maine, US, is fairly simple. Most drivers will stop for you, even in "No hitchhiking zones" which are generally along large interstates (such as I-95). There are "No hitchhikers" signs posted just past some of the on-ramps, so be sure to stand a good distance in front of them, as to not intimidate drivers. Thumbing the on-ramps to these freeways is legal, and hitchhiker Amylin waited no more than 5 minutes at most of the on-ramps to I-95 South on a clear day in November.
From the airport
Getting a ride from the Portland, ME International Airport (PWM) is fairly simple, since there is only one road to exit the airport: Jetport Blvd. If you walk backwards along this road with your thumb out, you have a fairly good chance of getting a ride. There is also a pick-up/drop-off spot just outside the exit, where people often wait for Taxis and car rides. There is also a local bus that stops at this spot that will bring you downtown. You might get a ride by talking to the people waiting here, as well. Often times, they can be friendly.
Personal experiences
"Thumbed all around Maine. Very easy and friendly. Longest had to wait was an hour to get a ride. Bar Harbor area was the hardest for hitching due to high volume of tourist." - Anonymous hitchhiker.
