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.

The waiting time was over two hours because many cars were full, but I managed to get a 150 km ride to an Osnabrück gas station.―denwer

Having wasted a whole day in the Ruhrpot I ended up taking the bus to Ohligers Heide and got a ride to Frankfurt in 10 minutes.―Chris9012

First time hitchhiking, just said 'Goodmorning' and eventually someone understood the sign to Hamburg-Münster. They actually went to Bielefeld, but argued it would work just as well going to Hamburg.―KRooijackers

Apparently, there was a place for cars to stay just behind here. German van that went to a festival 'Harmony of Hardore' nearby my town just left going home. Can't say if the spot truly works, Netherlands generally seems difficult to take off.―KRooijackers

Extremely lucky lady came up to us as we were making our sign. I can see it not being bad. Not too much traffic though―natecr

Great spot if you're hitchhiking from Cologne to the Netherlands. You can get here from Nievenheim train station and bus WE2. After that it's just a 15 minute walk to the station.If you look on Google satellite, you will spot a small trail after the bridge over the highway. It is traversable but I wouldn't recommend it as it leads through hunting grounds that are private property. Better to take the long way around. Either way, the service station is accessible on foot through a whole in the fence or on the small road.
Waited for 5 minutes, then found a friendly man and his girlfriend who took me one service station further to Geismühle. There was low traffic on Saturday, but I got lucky and found somebody quickly.

Large motorway services. Should be good, although I ended up waiting a few hours early on a Monday morning. If you're travelling south from Düsseldorf, consider starting from here (take a train to Hilden, then take bus 741 or walk through the suburbia).

Very dangerous for cars to stop, but a lot of traffic in Direction Düsseldorf (A57) or Wuppertal (A1).You can take a tram to Nussbaumer Str.
