It looked like it was to busy for people to stop, but I still got a ride to Hünxe in 3 minutes.

Amazing spot if you're going anywhere in the Netherlands. There was a lot of traffic and I quickly found a driver who took me to the service station in the south of Nijmegen.
In retrospect, I should have waited here longer and looked for a longer ride.

On a Saturday, there was very low traffic. But I was lucky and found a driver who got me to Goch (Service station Kalbecker Forst) very quickly.

A57 Alpen, direction Nijmegen/Kleve. Much local traffic, try sign "Kleve" to get out relatively quick. From ramp 3 "Weeze" on there is much traffic for Nijmegen and further.

Many different options to try here, but not very quick (direction Münster). You can try talking to people at the Aral service station, but many of them will be local traffic. Also, the Dutch cars all seemed pretty senseless, as the only reason for them to go there was for cheap gas, after which they would drive back to The Netherlands.

I eventually got a ride to Münster after about 1,5 hours standing next to the B67 close to the traffic lights (not at the exit/onramp, but the crossing of Bocholter Strasse/Im Geer). People are driving slowly because of the lights and there is a reasonably sized hard shoulder for them to stop on. All in all a pretty decent spot, but with a lot of local traffic.

Wide highway entry, so plenty space for drivers to stop. Not the busiest place but most people can at least take you to raststätte Hünxe.

I use this spot a lot with mixed results. If it's to busy people don't stop because the entry isn't very wide. In this case don't be to picky and take the first ride you get to Isselburg (10km further). This entry is much wider, but with less trafic.

Still seems to be a good spot. Got a hitch across the german border in no time, but I might got lucky
