Stood next to the traffic light going to Liege, got picked up very quickly. If you’re going south you could make a sign for both Aachen and Liege

Arrived after sunset, the second guy I asked drove me straight to Aachen

I stood at the roundabout on the end. There was a lot of traffic. Had a sign saying Köln. Then a guy took me past it to a station in the direction of Frankfurt. Good spot. You can get here by bus from Aachen very easily, the bus station is right next to the station.

Not a lot of people going to Köln, but you can get to Aachen pretty quickly and go from there. There is space to stop but not that many cars going through.

Tried going in the direction of Aachen. But had no luck. Maybe it was because it was a sunday. Its probably better to take a bus and a train to the first gas station in the Aachen direction, its a short walk from the train station.

Not that much traffic, but it was a sunday. Still got a lift to Aachen very quick. Good spot, lots of trucks, and a few belgian cars.

Waited for 90 minutes towards Aachen, moderate traffic, only half of them going westbound. There is a place for cars to stop.

We had Aachen on our sign and a couple took us 32km towards our goal. There was a lot of traffic, maybe we just got unlucky or people were not travelling in that direction

On the road just outside the gas station is also a good spot. The highway onramp seems to be useless. On a saturday night, the only people stopping for me were going back to Aachen. Eventually I took a ride back to the border, used the pedestrian bridge to change sides, and hitch hiked to Liege.

Took me two hours to find someone to go in the direction of Liège. To be fair, it was a bad time, Mid-November on a weekday when it was super foggy, but most people were just going to Aachen or North to the Netherlands or Antwerp. So if you wanna go there, it's a good spot, I guess. However the person who took me was super nice and even made a small detour for me.

Good starting spot to get to Aachen and beyond to Belgium or NL, easy to reach with public transport too. I wasn't even there at a good time (Mid-November on a weekday, very foggy weather) and still found a ride to Aachen pretty quickly by asking around.

Tried to get a ride to Aachen, waited about 2 hours and gave up. Instead took a train. A lot of people travelling to Belgium. For some reason today (15/08/24) isn't a day for hitchhiking. Had to wait a (very) long time for my other rides as well.

Walkable from the nearby S-Bahn Station for fellow hitchhikers that prefer to start at a highway service station. Got a ride to the station before Aachen (first car I asked) right away, and easily made it to Ghent (my final destination) in Jan 23.

After 45 minutes, I got a lift to Aachen. Some german cars, but also lots of traffic towards Hasselt and beyond

You can hold up a sign at the street and there is good space to stop. Lots of cars though did not go to Aachen. One can also ask directly stopping cars at the gas station.
