Great spot, going to Amsterdam took us on gas station behind Leiden

Great young Germans took us to Amsterdam, sled around with sign in hand

Many cars there but almost noone goes to Amsterdam on a friday evening. We got picked up by two people who drove there just for us :)

Almost nobody going to the North from here. For Amsterdam its pretty good. Got very lucky with someone who gave me a ride to 't Harde after around 30 minutes

After asking many people i managed to get a ride to The Hague. most people go to Amsterdam, Lelystad, or short travel to Amersfoort

Insanely busy gas station. Like there were constantly lines. Got a ride with a woman who was transporting a cat without docs to amsterdam and was hopping to not get stoped at the border for control because its illegal. But ofc we got stoped and we were there for half and hour but evetually we got to berlin where we needed

Seemed like a dead end. Low traffic. I standed on the entry to highway at the emergency strip. Got a lucky ride all the way to Amsterdam.

A lot of cars. But took me over 3 hours with Amsterdam sign to get a ride to Amersfoort at least.

Great place but for some reason cursed. Many cars, slow cars a lot of place for stoping. For some reason all the cars were full so waited there for 6 hours. After that a guy took me all the way to the danish borders so that was fine. Good place for Amsterdam + (guy I met waited for 20 minutes) Not so good for Denmark - (me 6 hours)

They took us directly to Amsterdam. Good spot with lots of cars – high chance someone’s going straight to Amsterdam.

Great spot towards the Netherlands. If you’re heading to Amsterdam, it’s best to get close to Utrecht – from there, you’ll get to Amsterdam easily.

Great spot if you’re heading towards Hamburg. For Amsterdam, you might have to wait longer. But once you pass Hannover, there are more cars heading towards the Netherlands.

Some waiting was needed but it still good spot to Amsterdam

Standing with my thumb up and got a ride closer towards Amsterdam. Nice

It really depends on where you wanna go. If you wanna go to Frankfurt, this is a great spot and you will find a ride in no time. If you want to go west on the 45 you just landed yourself in an impossible position. It's an unnatural stop when going that way, I only landed myself there because I wanted to get out of a car asap. If you need to go west I advice you to immediately accept that that is not gonna work from here. Although, I wouldn't be able to rule out that things are different in the summer. It's busy with a lot of nice people, telling you they would have taken you had they gone that way. I waited too long to accept my fate. It was snowing and getting dark, but in that sense it was a perfect spot, because I could hitchhike inside in "the glass hallway" and catch everyone there. I eventually had someone take me back to Frankfurt. After making some good conversation, that he enjoyed because his grandparents are Dutch and he could practice his Dutch, he was kind enough to go out of his way to "turn me around" in Frankfurt, such that I was on the right side of the highway again. From there on I quickly got back to Amsterdam. It eventually turned out that I had actully been lucky and made all the right calls, because I missed an appointment because of the delay, and that turned out to really work in my favor ;). I think you would also be fine going east, but I can't remember. It's too long ago and that wasn't where I needed to go.

2nd driver I asked at fuelstation took me to Amsterdam. Dropped me at exit RAI

We got a ride quickly, but the guy went out of his way. There is a gas station not so far on the highway again, which can get you to Amsterdam. Otherwise, this is exclusively local traffic.
