Not the most advisable spot to get to brussel. It is better to hike to the onramp to the A19 near borgenhout. I got picked up in 5 mins for Brussel but many people are going towards brugge and even france.

Only waited for two minutes, sadly there was a miscommunication due to a language barrier, so instead of going all the way to Rotterdam I was just taken to Bergen Op Zoom. The spot still was amazing, but on weekends there are a lot of trucks stopping here so you have to walk further down to the highway. If you can, wait till you get a ride to the spot you want to go to, cause it does not get better than this!

I waited long, but think i was unlucky. Loads of traffic to belgium and france, very little to where i actually wanted to go: netherlands...

4 trucks were parked on the hard shoulder of the on-ramp! We thought this meant we couldn't catch a ride here, but even with 4 trucks blocking the first part of the shoulder, pushing us back to the highway sign, this spot is great.

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!

Extremely busy gas station. We were two dudes who looked very tired, unshaven, got a ride from a woman alone in her car.
