Decent spot to get to Münster. Cars have some space to stop at the start of the highway ramp but I think drivers with bigger vehicles were hesitant to stop there. Got a ride from a small car.―Nalle

Good spot! I was asking around for an hour and in the end met a couple from the Netherlands while filling up my water. The took me all the way where I needed to go. I spent 6 hours travelling with them. Really perfect.I asked at the parking lot at the end, not at the gas station.

I stood there for almost an hour with a sign saying Köln and Essen on Monday at 11. many cars passed by but the vibe was not great. Frankfurt is a banker city and the people gave me weird looks. However one van stopped after 20 minutes, they were going to Hannover though. After a while a guy driving to Bochum (city right next to Essen) took me along and we had a great ride :)―Arenwithane

Very good spot to get out of Oberhausen onto A3 in the direction of Arnhem. There's a traffic light you can stand next to with a sign. Mine was super improvised and it still worked in like 5 minutes. Not super far but to Hünxe which I knew to be a good spot to continue. Was pretty late, so I might have been lucky with Feierabend traffic―thebeekeeper

Malgraŭ la konstanta pluvo, tre malmulte da trafiko, kaj preskaŭ noktiĝis, ĝi tamen funkciis.―Jurobola

From Bochum central station, take the U35 towards Rensingstrasse. Get out there and walk up to the ramp.―Anonymous

Take a train to Oberhausen-Sterkrade and then the bus #979 to "Heinrich-Heine-Str." in Bottrop. From there you'll see the highway, just walk towards it. Good spot to hitch away fast towards Hamburg, Münster,Hannover, Berlin―Anonymous
