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―Anonymous

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

to the south, A3. not best place for cars to stop but it is a very busy ramp and so somebody will stop, place yourself exactly where the marker is―Anonymous

Don't. Place yourself where this marker is! ;-) (watch out for cars coming around the corner using parts of the emergency lane, though)―Anonymous

We wanted to go to Hannover and we were in 3 ppl, maybe that's why it took us more than 3 hours to find a car going there―Anonymous
