A guy and a girl on a Thursday at noon without a sign. It was a good spot : there is little place to stop, but traffic is good and slow. It might be a bit dangerous, but not so much and two cars stopped to help us in 10min. We got a ride with the second car to the petrol station in the direction of Brussels.

Held sign saying Antwerp/E17. Lots of space to pull over but not a lot of spots where cars are looking your way.

My driver was heading to Brussels but decided to take me to Antwerp in the end.

Got dropped here when our roads split, but all cars went to Brussels, not Gent where I wanted to go. Also weirdo’s made obscene signs at me (girl traveling alone) luckly someone brought me to a next tank station where I was more lucky

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! ☺️

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
