I got lucky. The first car driving by took me and got me near Brussels. This spot looked promising, was large, and had slow cars for hitchhiking west. But maybe I was just lucky.―Anonymous

This is a great spot, but be aware, cars are going in all directions, so you really need to know your direction and major cities in that direction. A car stopped, and the guys told me that they were going to Torhout. I asked whether it was in the direction of Brussels, and they confirmed. But after I realized I had made a semi-voluntary ride to Torhout.―Anonymous

I stood here, and a guy picked me up after a few minutes, stopped and told me this wasn't a great place, and brought me to a better one. There is a large space to stop and a decent amount of traffic.―Anonymous

Very good spot, there is space to stop and the cars are going a reasonable speed. I did get stopped by the police while i was walking to the spot. In the end they did tell me it is okay to hitchhike there, so no problems.―stepanfoj

Good for direction Oostende, Dunkerque, Calais.Put Oostende on a sign, so you can get a ride at least to the next service area in Jabbeke.

This is most of the time my startingpoint if I go for long distances. You can go anywhere here (starting with direction 'Gent', 'Torhout' or some place near the sea). People see you from a distance and have some space to pull over.―Anonymous

Got a ride here from Bruges, and from here it was only a 5 minute wait to get a ride all the way to Brussels city center.―Anonymous

We wanted to go to Calais and this plase wasn't that good. So a guy stopped us and told us about petrol station at Jabber (about 2 km from here), that's gonna be better. It was. So not a perfect place for Calais etc..―LuciMK

Not so many cars here, and coming from the east they have a quite high speed.―Koendev
