Heading to the UK. Waited 1h45 with a sign saying Gent. 5 cars stopped and offered a lift to Brussels or the highway, 6th one took me to Drongen petrol station past Gent.

spot superbe pour aller à bruxelles, de la place pour s’arrêter et c’est en montée donc les voitures roulent lentement

avoir un panneau et se mettre sur la plateforme
aucun soucis avec la police et le lieu est très sécuritaire 👍🏼

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.

Lots of Dutch number plates on a Sunday evening. We took a ride to Antwerp because we hadn't had dinner yet.

Our driver went around the block to pick us up after seeing us last-moment. Lots of traffic, but drivers are already going kinda fast when they pass the gas station. There was also someone stopping at the gas station every 5 minutes, they couldn't take us unfortunately.

Fairly good spot but not so good for the car to stop. People had great smiles and were indicating that they were locals and not going to the gas station at Leuven…..a man took us later in the evening to the next big gas station on the E40 highway…….otherwise we (me, my girlfriend and our dog) could stand there hours and hours with so many good smiles and reactions from people!

The road to enter is strange, a lot of cars exiting the E40, not using the station then re-entering the E40. It’s not worth trying to stop them, they’re going too fast. We waited at the entrance to the service station, the exit is better as you can catch the cars as they’re leaving

Highly recommend. A decent sized land for cars to pull into. Plenty of curious looks at our sign. Seems good for north and east. One offer to Antwerp, we took the next car who got us to Lueven

A guy and a girl on a Thursday at noon without a sign. It was a good spot : there is little place to stop, but traffic is good and slow. It might be a bit dangerous, but not so much and two cars stopped to help us in 10min. We got a ride with the second car to the petrol station in the direction of Brussels.

Lots of people stop and ask where you want to go, I could even be choosey and wait until I found a lift directly to Brussels.

A guy and a girl on a Thursday at noon without a sign. I would say this spot is good even though people globally ignored us completely. A nice Polish guy helped us to get to Brussel while we were moving to test the best thumb spots.

Walked here from Leuven, asked around, two of them were going to Brussels and the third one happened to be a couple living near London, so I got a ride from here through Eurotunnel all the way to north of London. And they ended up being worried that I will get stuck hitchhiking out of the London bubble, so they bought be a crazy expensive train ticket to Manchester, so I got to my friend’s place by the evening! ☺️

Very quickly made my way from Wageningen to Leuven. I got a straight ride with a Belgian couple to Leuven as they were heading to Charleroi.

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