Got dropped by my ride in the roundabout and immediately went to the nearby gas station to ask lifts both to truck and car drivers, with my sign with "Belgique ou Nord" written on it. Got lucky enough to get a lift by a Dutch guy heading northward that dropped me to the Liége-Guillemins train station where I took a train to my end destination of BruxellesDon't make my same mistake of going in the nearby Ikea parking lot because you'd just waste time

Great spot to go to the highway A40. There was a emergency lane where the cars Can safely stop. We had a sign A40 and a teacher took us (2 people and a dog+2backpacks) to the nearest big gas station on the A40. We are heading to Aachen…….―NTKtriohitch

Quite a slow day, due to an EU summit. Nevertheless, had a good time waiting and got a good lift with 2 Belgian gentlemen.―willjmaker

Steady trickle of cars late at night on a Saturday. Lots are local or going to Luxemburg. For getting to Liege you have to really ask them where they are going to find someone driving past Liege to let you out in the subburbs. Traffic to Paris, for example, is good.―Flasher702

On the road just outside the gas station is also a good spot. The highway onramp seems to be useless.On a saturday night, the only people stopping for me were going back to Aachen. Eventually I took a ride back to the border, used the pedestrian bridge to change sides, and hitch hiked to Liege.

Not heaps of traffic through here but I quickly got a ride straight to Liege.―BoyTroyson

Not a legal spot to hitchhike according to the traffic cop who picked me up after drivers apparently called the police on me. Drivers constantly beeping and yelling at me, one guy even through a beer can at me.Luckily the cop drove me to a nearby truck stop just to get me off the highway. I would try a different spot heading south next time

"Borrowed" some paper from McDonalds to make a sign to Paris and found a ride after adding some in-between stops (Mons, Charleroi) by standing at the zebra path near the roundabout. Lots of cars (mostly locals, but the quantity helps) going slowly to get into the busy roundabout. My ride didn't take me too far but every bit helps, right?The McDonalds also has free toilets which is always a plus.

Took me two hours to find someone to go in the direction of Liège. To be fair, it was a bad time, Mid-November on a weekday when it was super foggy, but most people were just going to Aachen or North to the Netherlands or Antwerp. So if you wanna go there, it's a good spot, I guess. However the person who took me was super nice and even made a small detour for me.―thebeekeeper
