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.―Bob

Once I wanted to go to Vorselaar for the 'Na fir bolg' festival. Two most friendly women took me along and dropped me at the festival. Lots of space to pull over here―Anonymous

They completely changed the on-ramp (works finished at the end of 2013), and it's even worse now. I thinks it's a good idea to try to get a ride elsewhere, like at the traffic lights just before the new bridge, if you're coming from Geel.―Anonymous

Cars drive slowly and there's enough place to pull over. Got a ride within 2 minutes in darkness (during Sunrise Festival).―Anonymous

It is not a great place as there is no place on the onramp for people to pull over, but there isa fair amount of cars passing by coming out of one direction who can pull over before the traffic lights. Sign definately helps here―Shadi jg

Good for getting towards Hasselt/Genk/Liege/Aachen.Mostly local drivers, so you can hop from ramp to ramp.
