Because Slovakia and Hungary are part of the Schengen zone, there are no border controls and cars drive by quickly. However, a lot of trucks drive through this crossing, and it is easy for them to stop here.
If you are going to [[Poland]], this is the ideal place for you. Don't bother hitching short-distance rides. Just hold a '''Polska''' sign"PL", and it won't take you long to stop a truck. There is also a gas station right before [[Šahy]] called Benzina (Jan 2015), where many trucks stop before continuing either north to [[Poland]], or south to [[Hungary]]. It is very possible to find a ride here going all the way to [[Serbia]] or [[Romania]], or even [[Turkey]]. For a ride to [[Turkey]], many Turkish and Serbian drivers stop for the night at a rest stop about 50 meters behind this gas station. Hitchhiker [[user:Lubotron|Lubotron]] got a direct ride to Istanbul from this spot in January 2015 and a direct ride to [[Serbia]] in August 2014. The driver was actually going all the way to [[Iraq]]. The owner of the rest stop let him spend the night there while he was waiting for his driver to finish his break.
