Pretty decent spot, fair few more cars than trucks, got a lift to brussels

Worked quite well for going towards Brussels

Quick ride behind Brussels

Not to much traffic at Saturday but works good for Brussels direction

Heading to the UK. Waited 1h45 with a sign saying Gent. 5 cars stopped and offered a lift to Brussels or the highway, 6th one took me to Drongen petrol station past Gent.

Got a ride to Brussels.

My girlfriend and I Departure: Brussels Destination: Luxembourg Wednesday, 7:00 AM Tip: It worked best when we stood on the left side of the road, right below the traffic light.

Wanted to go to Paris, not the best spot for that. Many people go to the Netherlands or Brussels.

Direction North: Apart from Brussels many cars go to Antwerp or the Netherlands. Not so much for Gent

Not an easy spot for cars to stop without holding up traffic. Found a lift to a good petrol station on the other side of Brussels quite quickly though

Didn’t take long before I had a lift to Brussels with a car full of Germans on their way to a Jason Derulo concert

I needed to go just to the Brussels city centre and was able to find a ride almost immediately, even though it was already dark.

I got lucky. The first car driving by took me and got me near Brussels. This spot looked promising, was large, and had slow cars for hitchhiking west. But maybe I was just lucky.

This is a great spot, but be aware, cars are going in all directions, so you really need to know your direction and major cities in that direction. A car stopped, and the guys told me that they were going to Torhout. I asked whether it was in the direction of Brussels, and they confirmed. But after I realized I had made a semi-voluntary ride to Torhout.

This is a good spot for Brussels. Also lot of British people here are going back to Britain for the weekend. Just ask around, and you can easily get a ride to Calais or to the coast. Just be aware, do not go to Calais late in the evening, there are migrants all around. I learned that the hard way.
