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.

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

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

Hünxe. Sometimes you get a ride to Ohligers Heide in 30 minutes, sometimes you wait 3 hours before accepting a ride into the HH'ers hell that is Ruhrpot. Today was the latter. Don't be like me. It's (at least) Ohligers Heide or nothing.―Chris9012

Very busy gas station. Asked around and then an Indian family took me straight to the Netherlands. They were driving to Almere, but they dropped me off in Wageningen in front of my dorm.―anettlee17

Had a good interaction with the staff but maybe we got lucky. Got a lift with a young Dutch guy going to cologne. Overall was pretty good for us―natecr
