Hitch Hiking Spot at the red light under the bridge, right before the turning onto the motorway ramp in direction of Paris / Mons / Charleroi - Take tram 4 to Stalle terminus, then walk to Motorway. You can ask any car to take you to the next petrol station, which is 2km further south―Anonymous

Never tried yet, but could be an excellent place as a petral station (1.5 km from Stalle).―Anonymous

This spot can be excellent if the traffic is very slow (I tested in around 6.30pm) and you're heading south.Got a lift to Charleroi airport area in five minutes.
Take the metro line #5 in direction Erasme/Erasmus and get off at the Ceria/Coovi stop.

HHiked from there to Lille. Had to wait about 20 minutes for a ride on a Thursday around noon. I got there by hhiking from the spot 2 kms north at the red light. a lot more cars pass by there, but the gas station is a lot nicer place than up there under the bridge;by the way, the spot is correct, the site is no more under construction as in the satellite image ;)

I think it is a good spot. I was too lucky though to find out as I got picked up while walking there without even hitching.―Anonymous

Waiting on the up-ramp with a destination sign and "next gas station symbol" took us 5 minutes. (2 people).―Briedis

I tried this spot at the red light, on the small pavement under the bridge several times. It is possible, after eye contact, to talk to a driver, and if they say they go your direction or agree putting you off at a next petrol station, my experience is that they wait even if the light goes green, and other cars can still bypass them.―Dante

bad spotbecause car don't have time to stop if they want to take you (red light time is too short) and not very confortable under the bridge (noises..).But if you walk 15 meters away, at the entrance of the ring, it is a very good spot, cars can stop and see you in advance :)

Actually a lot of cars, but no place for them to stop, you can just enter the car when it's waiting at the red light. Next time i'll try the gas station in Stalle.―Corto

A decent spot. I found the red-light WAY too short for drivers to consider letting you in their car, so we walked to the ramp and had better luck with traffic coming from the west, as there is enough space for the to stop and still have cars go around. In about 10 minutes, got a ride all the way to Lille, Fr―Anonymous

a hard spot. It s easier from the next petrol station which is close just two km to walk to..―Anonymous

good spot, even if red light is not the best, but enough time for people to consider taking you―Edithv

had to walk all the way to this station via the road by the highway, but you should go up to the gas station as you see it, because later on, there's a fence which continues for some time (there was a hole). went to Paris - got a ride to ~Lille in 15min―Ondo

aquí me dejo un auto que me traía de Breda ! eran tipo 4 de la tarde (sabado) y estaba lloviendo, yo iba a Lille, me hice en la salida de la estacion y fue muy dificil, por que no tenia un letrero de adonde iba, crei que me tocaria dormir esa noche hay, pero por suerte del mundo un carro paro y me llevo a 30 minutos de lille y me ofrecio hospedaje en su casa ya que la persona con la que me iba a hospedar no aparecio. para los que no son de europa como yo, esa estacion tiene wifi gratis pero solo para numero telefonicos que sean europeos, por que necesitan enviarte un mensaje y mori por eso hay.―Anonymous
