Got dropped by my ride in the roundabout and immediately went to the nearby gas station to ask lifts both to truck and car drivers, with my sign with "Belgique ou Nord" written on it. Got lucky enough to get a lift by a Dutch guy heading northward that dropped me to the Liége-Guillemins train station where I took a train to my end destination of BruxellesDon't make my same mistake of going in the nearby Ikea parking lot because you'd just waste time

Great spot to go to the highway A40. There was a emergency lane where the cars Can safely stop. We had a sign A40 and a teacher took us (2 people and a dog+2backpacks) to the nearest big gas station on the A40. We are heading to Aachen…….―NTKtriohitch

Quite a slow day, due to an EU summit. Nevertheless, had a good time waiting and got a good lift with 2 Belgian gentlemen.―willjmaker

Steady trickle of cars late at night on a Saturday. Lots are local or going to Luxemburg. For getting to Liege you have to really ask them where they are going to find someone driving past Liege to let you out in the subburbs. Traffic to Paris, for example, is good.―Flasher702

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.

Get a bus or walk to Angleur station, the entrance ramp is very nearby. Plenty of space to pull over, got a lift straight to Luxembourg without a problem.―BoyTroyson

Immediately found a ride to Neuss, Germany even though it was fairly late already and there weren't a whole lot of cars around. Just look out for German license plates. My ride even fed me and offered to buy me a coffee!―thebeekeeper

More people going to the Netherlands than Liège but I still found a ride there in under 30 minutes. Even got approached back! Bonus points for the cute dog I got to have on my lap (not reflected in the rating.)―thebeekeeper

Onramp spot with a bit of space for cars to stop. Pretty good traffic, but semi-local. Found a ride to Namur after 20 minutes with a sign to Mons/Charleroi/Paris.―thebeekeeper

"Borrowed" some paper from McDonalds to make a sign to Paris and found a ride after adding some in-between stops (Mons, Charleroi) by standing at the zebra path near the roundabout. Lots of cars (mostly locals, but the quantity helps) going slowly to get into the busy roundabout. My ride didn't take me too far but every bit helps, right?The McDonalds also has free toilets which is always a plus.

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.―thebeekeeper

Direction Aachen/GermanyNo place for cars to stop, and drivers are making short trips like 10km. People here usually don't go far.

Direction Aachen, Maastricht, CologneStay some 20-30 meters after the traffic lights, so that the drivers can see you better.
I was told that it was a good spot. I waited 2 hours, but maybe it was not my lucky day.
It's the entrance of the motorway so that you have all the cars from Liege passing there.
