Not ideal for stopping, 2 lanes merging to 1 lane. But a car stopped on right side anyway. I had a sign, driver was nice and dropped me of near dtreetcar Düsseldorf―Splunt

There is a Jet and a Shell Tankstelle. Lot of traffic on the road, not so many cars at gas stations. But got away wuick by asking to next Rästatte Vierwinden.―Splunt

Looks like a good spot to get out of the city. The highway entrances have no space for cars to stop, but here there is space next to the road. Traffic is going slow because of traffic lights. Lots of local cars. Also Köln, Düsseldorf and Neuss license plates. Somebody stopped for direction Dortmund, but not my direction. Tried with sign 'Neuss'. Took a break at the cafe around the corner for a coffee and toilet. And then with sign 'D' (Düsseldorf). Nice guy picked me up and drove to Neuss.―Splunt

Lots of holiday traffic in october. But got a lift to Wuppertal very quick by asking around the restaurant.Also waited more than an hour before here for a further lift in direction Osnabrück.

Pretty decent spot, just low traffic flow for a Friday afternoon. Got scooped up and taken to the servo near the airport―Kjmurray1230

Not the best but not the worst. Have a sign and people will see your direction and scoop you up―Kjmurray1230

Nice spot to get out of Duisburg towards the Netherlands, but I must say it was probably more about luck than a good spot. There's no shadow to stand in during summer btw, I got quite a sizzle on my neck after that half hour. The driver was really nice though, drove me all the way past Venlo, when he didn't even plan to cross into the Netherlands at all, and even bought me a coke and gave me some cardboard for a new sign―B5Scheuert

Very nice spot. Got there on a sunday morning at 7:30, it looked extremely empty, but after 30mins at the on-ramp with a "HANNOVER WEST" sign a nice man stopped trying to take me to Helmstedt, but right as I was putting my stuff into his backseat, another car stopped after seeing my sign, saying they'll take me to Duisburg. Obviously I took that offer. Very nice people, even the ones that didn't take me. Very nice experience for my very first time hitchhiking―B5Scheuert

Waited for a very long time in the hot hot hot sun. I can see how it can work on other days, but for us there’s was only Dutch people with very full cars going anywhere but where we were going. Ended up having to give up and get a ride to the nearest train station.―SnailsRUs

Most people were going to Paris, but I got extremely lucky and very soon found a couple taking me all the way to Düsseldorf, Germany!I arrived there when it was already dark so it was a plus that you can technically reach Orleans by public transport if you don’t have a tent nor want to spend the night outside. Also there is probably more traffic there in summer or during the day with people going further than Paris

With sign "A3 süd". Only got some offers to Düsseldorf. Moved to the onramp after 69mins, but had the same result there. If you get stuck here your best option is public transport to the next Raststätte.―Chris9012
