They completely changed the on-ramp (works finished at the end of 2013), and it's even worse now. I thinks it's a good idea to try to get a ride elsewhere, like at the traffic lights just before the new bridge, if you're coming from Geel.―Anonymous

We came got here very late (8pm) and I think that was the problem. We needed to go to Liege but most of the cars were going to Brussels of Leuven. We weren't lucky this time. Avoid HH in dark!―Thejourneyramino

Good for getting towards Hasselt/Genk/Liege/Aachen.Mostly local drivers, so you can hop from ramp to ramp.

The new on-ramp sucks, so it might be a good idea to ask rides here at the red lights. Tried it once and found a ride in less than 1 minute!―Anonymous

For the second time I didn't have to wait longer than 5 minutes. Cars coming from the roundabout can pullover on the lane that intersects, because there is less traffic.―Anonymous

Not so much place to stop (or you should walk further on the on-ramp, but cars drive faster there).Got a ride from the first car.

The new on-ramp sucks. It's on a roundabout and there's no place to stop. I was lucky a truck driver stopped for me after 5 minutes.―Anonymous
