Suwalki is a city on North-East Poland along the E67. You will most likely have to pass it on your way from Europe to the Baltics and vice versa. It is the last major settlement before the border.

Hitching Out

North towards Baltics (Lithuania)

When arriving from Augustow, if driver doesn't go any further than Suwalki, a great spot to get out is immediately at the beginning of town. At the first roundabout, all traffic for Lithuania is taking the first exit, which is followed by a huge bus stop immediately. A sign (LT) helps miraculous and you should usually catch rides to Kaunas or further here easily. This spot is also perfect for night-hitchhiking. There's a gas station as well for the communicative hitchhiker, but it is definitely worth hitchhiking at the bus stop as all traffic coming from the South passes here.

It could be also an idea to hitch at the end of town at the two-lane road, though traffic is much faster there already and the author of this article currently has no idea if there are any good spots for hitchhiking.

South towards Augustow, Warszawa

At the end of town, at already described roundabout, there's some space to stop cars going south, but not much to no traffic light available, depending on the spot/visibility you want to choose when hitchhiking at night.
