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.

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.

Pretty decent spot, just low traffic flow for a Friday afternoon. Got scooped up and taken to the servo near the airport

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

I started hitchhiking pretty early so there were only few cars. After an hour I started asking drivers and got ride to duseldorf with Polish driver (being polish probably helped me a lot with that)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
