Guy and girl heading to Cologne. Waited at the roundabout by the exit with a sign saying Germany / Köln and got a lift to Aachen in 5 minutes.

Guy and girl heading to Cologne. Waited near the exit with a sign saying Germany / Köln, and got a lift close to Liege in 15 minutes.

Guy and girl heading to Cologne. Waited 2h15 at the exit/entrance to the highway with a sign saying Germany / Köln. No luck, mostly Belgian cars. Moved to outside the shop entrance with our sign and immediately got offered a lift to Leuven by the Chief of Brussels police... (ACAB but they can sometimes do nice things)

waited by the exit. sign for calais, ultimately uk. uk numberplates ignored me, as did most truckers. one parked Ukrainian trucker, who originally shook his head, took pity on me sat in the rain and took me to calais. unfortunately had difficulty due to language barrier persuading him that he could take me onto the ferry without extra charges...

just a proper reliable banging spot. got to jabbeke service station with lovely corporate dude

i had a sign BXL, IT WAS PRETTY EASY-I THINK THE 5TH car stopped and took me to gare de l'oest

Seems like the perfect spot, has quite some traffic, but absolutely no one seemed to go to Lille, which genuinely baffled me. I think I just had bad luck maybe. Inside the gas station its very nice though, it was recently re-built as I was told and there's a fair amount of outlets and seating, as well as food and toilets etc. etc.

It took us 7 mins to get a ride to Brussels. We held a sign. It's the road just before the entrance to the highway towards Brussels/Antwerp centre. We were two girls at 9pm and got a very nice man take us.

Had a Bruge sign but a guy heading to Lille picked me up saying it would be easier to get to Calais that way.

Worked quite well for going towards Brussels

I stood at the motorway entrance and got ride almost to Luxembourg city itself

Waited like 20 minutes and guy approached me and told me that he can take me further towards Luxembourg

Had a sign saying Brugge. Got a lift in 5-10 minutes. Good spot, the road is wide enough for cars to stop.

Had a sign saying Brugge. After 10 minutes got a lift to entrance to the highway. Good spot, lots of traffic, and space for them to pull in so long as all the parking spots aren't full.

Quick ride behind Brussels

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

Heading to Bruges, had a sign saying Gent / Brugge. Waited 5 minutes before someone offered to take me to central Gent. Great spot, lots of traffic and lots of space.

I definitely got lucky. The sports not bad at all but idk about traffic. First car got me. I originally got picked up at Maidstone by some Belgium guys, they said they were heading across but when we got into Dover they mentioned it was 9pm that night. I jumped out and thanked them but realised I either had to go back up the m20 and find someone going for the tunnel, or I was kinda screwed. This guy just happened to be really eccentric and scooped me up IF YOU WANT THE TUNNEL MAKE SURE YOUR RIDE FROM MAIDSTONE CAN GET YOU THROUGH

Got a direct ride to Paris a lot of people going up north to Belgium and Netherlands

Got dropped here and went round asking the drivers if they were taking the ferry, with a sign saying France/Belgium. On my second round one agreed to take me with him to Belgium. He was going with Irish ferries and it was no problem to add a passenger, no-one even asked about it. He drove me until 2am, let me sleep in the van, then took me to a further junction the next morning.

asked a lot of trucks and cars. many go to germany and belgium, but didn't want to take me. hungary is easier

lucky dude got an offer to Belgium, that i could only wish for. at leuseni i spent 4 hours asking cars for any ride to central/western europe, but nothing worked. some truck drivers told me that I should have went to Iasi checkpoint.

surprisingly disappointing, maybe the A6 is better. free restroom and cheap baguette. found two guys from belgium who went to alpe d‘huez too.

I waited long, but think i was unlucky. Loads of traffic to belgium and france, very little to where i actually wanted to go: netherlands...

Couple hitchhiking. We caught a ride with a wonderful Ukrainian truck driver to northern France with a sign saying Belgium. Many families with very little space in their cars and many heading to Achen. Bit tiresome.

We got a lift from the ticket booth to the ferry and then asked a couple where they were heading once we started sailing. Luckily, they were heading to Belgium and took us to Bremen.

Two guys heading to Belgium, had a sign saying Nürnberg / Frankfurt. Took a while, tried standing by the exit and asking people as they arrived. Eventually found a Belgien car driving to Ghent, the guy let us stay in his cousin's apartment overnight then took us the rest of the way the next morning.

Found a ride asking, first guy that we talked to took us to the next big gas station before Belgium border. Not much traffic but enough to easily find.

Good traffic, we were heading to Belgium but eventually we accepted a short ride to Cambrai that would put us on the right path. Probably if we waited a bit longer we would find one directly to Belgium

The door was closed, I rang the bell and someone opened it. Met a girl also hitchhiking to Belgium, and very quickly we got a ride north.

A really good spot to get to France or Belgium

Lots of folks. Got offered a ride pretty quickly to Hasselt, which was halfway to the French Ardennes we were heading to. Still rejected it, gotta stay on that main highway. As always when here, we considered accepting a ride to Eindhoven Airport to luck into a ride to Belgium there. One day we’ll try it!

In this Dutch colony you will find some cars staying in Germany and a few cars going to Belgium.

Saturday in April, either the A8 or A9 was good for my route to Belgium. Most cars were full or drove into Munich. Eventually, a business man took me in direction of Ulm.

Just arrived and we found a car with 2 belgium women. Really kind of her. Pick us up directly to liege. Definetely a very good spot.

Fabulous spot for going towards UK, Belgium, Paris. One of my favourite petrol stations in Europe.

Good spot for Belgium or the Netherlands. Takes a second to find a ride but it makes sense to wait for a longer distance ride that takes you well in the direction you want to take.
