Excellent spot. Plenty of traffic, the fifth car I asked at the Shell drove me directly to Ghent.―Caseymatho

500 meters from metro terminus Roi Baudouin on Line 6. Directions Ghent, Mons, France, Charleroi...Cars drive slowly and can easily pullover. Sign saying gas station symbol ⛽. First car stopped in less than a minute, but was driving towards Ghent. Second car to Mons.

I asked around to get towards Brussels, but since I was going to Paris, I searched for a ride to the ring of Brussels, to a suitable motorway entrance. Most people went to Leuven or the next exit.―Japie4

Not a lot of traffic. But asked around at the electric charger and somebody drove me to a bigger petrol station on the other side of the city―Vincent2232

Decided to leave the spot because there’s a construction going on on the left lane and it is impossible for cars to stop. Maybe it was a good spot before but not atm.―Anonymous

Yes...not the greatest spot for getting beyond Brussels. Regardless, got that ride to Luxembourg which was far better than I'd hoped :-)―whisperingofthestars

It took us 7 mins to get a ride to Brussels. We held a sign. It's the road just before the entrance to the highway towards Brussels/Antwerp centre. We were two girls at 9pm and got a very nice man take us.―Viltorina

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

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.―Bob

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!―NTKtriohitch
