I waited here for 2 hours trying to find a ride to the UK. There was very little traffic on a Monday night and I was just happy to accept a ride to Calais in the end, shortly before sunset. The driver drove me there out of pitty, I think.But seriously, stick to the bigger service station in Jabbeke. There's not a ton of traffic either, but at least you spot a UK licence plate every now and then.

I waited here for 1 hour trying to find a ride to the UK. I eventually decided to take a ride one gas station further. A BIG MISTAKE!Though there are not many cars going to UK here, at least there are some. At the next gas station there was one car in the first hour, that is it.
So, even if it seems bad, don't get tempted to go one gas station further. You'll regret it.

just outside the city center of veurne across the Q8 gasoline station, there's place to stop for cars, plenty of cars coming from the seaside (koksijde and De Panne) goin direction Brussels. not a good place if you wish to go direction france.―Anonymous

i´m not sure if it´s the exact position, but somewhere around here (but on the motorway)is the last service station on the motorway before france. many trucks heading to the uk via eurotunnel do their last stop here before entering the train. use a sign or ask drivers (truckers should be better, most cars are full), try to be early,it´s less traffic in the evening and it´s not nice to stand there when it´s dark. but when it´s not to late, you should manage it to get a quick ride to the uk, probaly through the tunnel. trucks don´t have to pay for a second driver, but be sure having your passport with you and don´t carry any illegal shit!―Anonymous

very dangerous, had to run away, it's an old parking lot with many gay men masturbating and doing other things, don't go there!―Anonymous

This is a good petrol station heading to Dunkerque or Calais. Not exactly sure of the location either, as it's not on satellite.―Anonymous

During the holidays a lot of families with children (so with no space for you...) - probably because it's a very nice place to have a break.―ICOS

Stood there on the highway entree, got a ride within 10sec, towards Gent. Maybe helped that we where there during work-traffic hours (6/7pm)―Anonymous

Definitely the best spot to get to England from. I even found another hitchhiker making the same trip. There were a good few UK plates that passed by. Unfortunately they couldn’t or wouldn’t take us. After a while waiting we took a lift to the next services, against all better advice―Anonymous

Lots of traffic going in the right direction. Good space for cars to stop. Medium speed. Good spot in my opinion.―Sophaul

Personally i did not hitchhack there because the spots along this road didn't make me satisfied and....There is a tramway along the coast, from France to Nederland, it does 70km, cost 2€50 but... You know 😉
