It was pretty long for me to get a ride, lots of People went to netherlands or close by or just refused to take me... However in the end i got a ride to Brussels (my end goal was paris) :)
It's not a bad spot but you definitly need some luck.

Walked here from Leuven, asked around, two of them were going to Brussels and the third one happened to be a couple living near London, so I got a ride from here through Eurotunnel all the way to north of London. And they ended up being worried that I will get stuck hitchhiking out of the London bubble, so they bought be a crazy expensive train ticket to Manchester, so I got to my friend’s place by the evening! ☺️

Not that many cars after 19:00, I had to wait an hour before a lovely Belgian couple took me at my final destination even though they were not from Brussels

After having tried the other point near the botanical garden unsuccessfully, we picked this spot.
Enough space to stop easily.
Around 5pm, there is shade.
We made a big Brussels sign and got a ride to leuven quickly.

Wanted to get to Poznan/Berlin, got lucky and found a ride to Brussels.
Great spot for going west.
If u get there on foot, u have to get over a 2m fence or wait until someone goes out and it opens

Update from Okt 2023: i didnt find it possible to hitch further into the port than this (the workers tell you to leave and there isnt an obvious spot). This worked for me though, even though it was evening and dark, standing with a sign right at the exit of the roundabout into the ferry port. Theres a little spot to pull over also. I had a sign with “ferry:)” got me a ride unto the ferry and then I found a truckdriver that went bear Brussels. The truckdrivers have a special section in the ferry, where I stood outside the door with a sign. It worked and seemed easy enough

Great busy petrol station with lots of cars going south and in our case to Brussels. Was dropped of here from another ride. I only approached I think 3 people before finding someone taking me and my friend all the way to Brussels

Walk through traffic to the front of the toll gates. People have to come to a stop here so should be easy to get a ride. I get a ride all the way to Brussels from here

Many people going to Brussels, Amsterdam, Calais. Don't try to go at the toll further up because nobody is going to take it for Lille (as it is easy to go around). People think they won't pass by Lille but insist as they WILL for sure. You'll be drop somewhere where you can get a city bus. Not many cars at the station and I had to insist to convince people they can help me. i thought it would be easier for Lille
