Drivers were overall not polite, relatively low passenger car traffic and a lot of dirty looks or avoidance - I was clean and groomed, didn't have this problem elsewhere.Saw a van with Spain number plates and kayaks on top, talked to the driver and he took me to just outside of Cologne.

Had a sign indicating E42 to Cologne, had my first offer in 5 minutes but she was going west. A friendly German couple offered a bit later, said they hitched a lot when they were young. I stood at the exit by the no parking except service vehicles sign to catch all cars (not trucks) as they exit. Beware what looks like a driveway is actually a local road and sees a lot of traffic.―Streamrider

Didn’t take long before I had a lift to Brussels with a car full of Germans on their way to a Jason Derulo concert―Breno

Not a bad spot for Eupen or Liege (Lutych). It was raining a bit, so I hid under a small roof at a nearby car shop and just peeked out when a car was approaching. There is an Aldi nearby, if you need to resupply or need a sign.―martih

This place is counterintuitive, or I just got lucky, but I was exhausted and in a not-so-great mood, so I desperately wanted to get out of Germany. So I got a sign saying BE, and it took just a couple of minutes to get a ride to the small town of Kelmis in Belgium.―martih

I made a mistake and trusted my driver that this would be a good place. It was not. I tried standard hitchhiking, but soon realized that there is too heavy traffic for that here. So I started asking at the gas station, and that worked after some time.―martih

I stood at the roundabout on the end. There was a lot of traffic. Had a sign saying Köln. Then a guy took me past it to a station in the direction of Frankfurt. Good spot. You can get here by bus from Aachen very easily, the bus station is right next to the station.―stepanfoj

Right now the roundabout is closed due to construction. If youre heading to Köln i reccomend taking the 52 bus from the city centre to the gas station on autobahn 4. Its like 10 minutes.―stepanfoj

Not a lot of people going to Köln, but you can get to Aachen pretty quickly and go from there. There is space to stop but not that many cars going through.―stepanfoj

Not that much space to stop but the brave drivers do. Was here on a sunday afternoon so not a lot of traffic still got a ride pretty quick to a small belgian town behind the border.―stepanfoj

Not that much traffic, but it was a sunday. Still got a lift to Aachen very quick. Good spot, lots of trucks, and a few belgian cars.―stepanfoj

I agree with another comment, doesn't feel like an ideal place to wait - not to much space for cars to pull over―wazkort

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.
