If you are going to ''Dalmatia'' (Zadar, Split, etc.) don't take rides to Rijeka because it is a bit out of your way. Car plates for each city: Pula and Istria (PU), Rijeka (RI) Zadar (ZD) Šibenik (ŠI) Split (ST).
* July 2015: spot worked well. There's a lot of police around, but they seemed not to care at all. Be careful of getting dropped on one of the rest areas though, there are quite many so traffic isn't very heavy on each one, and in the summertime almost all traffic is fully loaded vacation cars heading for the coast. The best rest stop before the highway split at Bosiljevo is probably Draganic, as it has both a Burger King and a Marche Bistro. We were stuck at Vukova Gorica rest area for hours.
* Even though the ticket inspectors are more common now and the bus drivers control if you have the ticket, these buses are almost always crowded so you can still sneak in without buying a ticket. April 2014, Nina_Unexia
'''Crodux fuel station / rest stop on highway'''
Bus 273 till last stop Lužan-Zeleni Vijenac (someone entered this bus from the middle door as well).Walk 3 km forward Ul. Augusta Šenoe. There is a gravel road after you cross over the highway which you can easily reach by going a couple hundred meters past the highway (no need to try and cross the ditch to reach it.) As you approach the gas station fence and the road turns to lead around the back you will see a gap where you can easily hop the fence and follow a well formed path directly to the parking lot. It should be just a handful of meters after the curve and very easy to notice.
There are also plenty of good places where one can pitch a tent
==== First option ====From the Črnomerec and Ljubljanica bus terminal there's a free bus (red or white colour) to West Gate shopping centre which is adjacent to toll station [http://westgate-shopping.com/en/westgate-autobus/], see also [http://maps.google.com/?q=zagreb&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=City+of+Zagreb,+Croatia&ll=45.874518,15.829003&spn=0.009815,0.02459&t=h&z=16 Google Maps], the toll station is very close to the shopping center, you can see it from the parking lot where the bus arrives. But you will have to cross a bit of water. Don't try this in the dark. Look for one of the areas with stones covered by metal or just walk about 300 metre in opposite direction of the shopping mall and you will find a little bridge, handy! then come back to the 'Optioon 1''' Zaprešić toll station. If you're heading to [[Slovenia]] or further you'll have to make it to the [[Macelj-Kozminci border crossing]], from where you can easily get rides far into [[Germany]].
You better forget about trying From the Precko option (towards Ljubljana), Erga Črnomerec and [[User:Guaka|guaka]] waited for about 2 hours, asking people, with signs (Ljubljanica bus terminal there''Macelj'', ''Maribor'', SLO) and without sign. Fortunately the s a free bus (red or white colour) to the West Gate shopping centre which is adjacent to Zaprešić toll station. The toll station is very close to the shopping center also goes , you can see it from the parking lot where the bus arrives. But you will have to cross a bit of water. Don't try this above spotin the dark. Look for one of the areas with stones covered by metal or just walk about 300 metre in opposite direction of the shopping mall and you will find a little bridge, handy! then come back to the toll station.
[[User:Cro_gavran|Cro_gavran]] tried to hitchhike here in September 2014 but was in just few minutes forced to leave by highway guards. They said that same day they moved out from highway already 5 hitchhikers and called police to arrest two who didnt wanted to leave the highway. If someone else had same experience, please share.'''Optioon 2''' INA Jakovlje fuel station
[[User:Uncle sam01|uncle_sam01]] hitched a direct ride to Bratislava in about 20 minutes in August 2015Train till Kupljenovo and get on Kolodvorska ulica after big highway turn right road. Definitely wouldn't recommend going over the bridge, since the right side is virtually impossible to Total walk towards the highway (bushes, trees, water, weeds, etc.). In August 2015 there was only a relatively short fence, which was easy to climb over but you must cross the highway, which is obviously not the safest thing to do, but cars go slow and there are no barriers in the middle. No one bothered us, except some maintenance guy in a pick up who was driving by, but we couldn't make out what he was saying and no one from the toll booths told us anything even though they clearly saw us hitching.2 km
--[[User:Yeguaerrante|Yeguaerrante]] ([[User talk:Yeguaerrante|talk]]) 13:05, 18 November 2015 (CET) You can't get to the toll station, it's all fenced, i waited on the road after going for the blue small bridge, you will see a bridge that crosses the highway, a car pick me up after 20 min and took me to small town area, was really hard to get into the highway this way because there was a lot of locals not going too far away. 'Optioon 3''' Ljubljanska avenue upramp
--[[User:Duffajfka|Duffajfka]] walked from the Bus to King Cross shopping centre center or simply walk along D1 in the direction back to Zagreb Ljubljanska avenija until you reach the highway on-ramp to of the northhighway. As it's a two lane one with not too dense traffic, he tried to hitchhike from the guardrail with a sign "Odmorište" (service area), probably "Naplatna Postaja" (toll booth) would be easier. As he has already been inside the fence, he walked to the toll booth. It was quite a hard walk, but probably worth it. Tried to hitch right from the gates but was expelled by the staff few tens The spot is an approach road of meters behind the booth, where a car to Graz easily stopped in 20 mins. (May 2019) As alternativenearby, try to get Plitvice petrol station (not very frequented truck park and offers great visibility and space to confuse with famous National park!). It is reachable from Lučko trough the village. It is around 3 km walkpull over for bypassing drivers.
==== Second option ====
Instead of the seemingly risky toll station, you can also get a bus to King Cross shopping center or simply walk along Ljubljanska avenija until you reach the on-ramp of the highway. The spot is an approach road of a nearby, not very frequented truck park and offers great visibility and space to pull over for bypassing drivers. [[User:Vapaakulkuri|vapaakulkuri]] however still had to wait about two hours to get a ride to the first gas station that is located about 20km down the road.== Nomadwiki & Trashwiki ==

Also if you walk a bit highway forward you get on the Crodux petrol station. There is less traffic than on tolls.

'''From townOptioon 2'''From town
Get to the Ljubljanska avenija and find a bus stop to hitchike. Best with a Slovenia sign. Don't take rides that don't take you at least to the border - There is no good places to hitchhike further down the road.
'''Optioon 3'''Take a bus to the highway'''
This option takes you a bit longer to get started with (nearly an hour), it takes you directly to the highway though.
=== North, direction [[Maribor]], [[Graz]], [[Vienna]] ===
If you're heading to Slovenia or further you'll have to make it to the [[User:T0ma5|t0ma5Macelj-Kozminci border crossing]] was hitchhiking here in January 2011 and he got a ride all the way to Vienna in about 20min, from where you can easily get rides far into Germany.
