Changes

Except for the motorways and expressways, it is generally accepted to hitchhike on the side of the road in almost any suitable place. Unlike many European states, the police are generally friendly towards hitchhikers as long as they behave properly. Some of the newly-refurbished national roads have "no pedestrians" signs near major towns, but it's still uncommon. On motorways and expressways the best place to hitchhike is either a sliproad or, preferably, one of the petrol stations or toll booths.
