A tree gave me shelter from the sun at the end of the petrole station, would have more chance asking directly to people I guess

Waited at the end of the station, a tree giving shelter from the sun, maybe I'll have best luck asking directly at the station. At least it worked!

Stood there under the heatwave but didn't wait long with a pannel Almare for a car to stop. M'y goal was to reach the first pétrole station to get a longer lift to Germany. I guess the pannel was useful. Didn't see any cops thought

Was heading towards Bruxelles but after 1 hour trying under the heatwave I was close to let it go when a super nice guy stopped and offer me a lift till Amsterdam! I changed my plan and voilà!
I think the spot under the bridge is better than thé previous one because you can get shelter from the sun, and people can see where to stop... Don't know if a good spot for Bruxelles in the end...

Had a sign for utrecht. After 40 minutes only 1 car stopped and it was a taxi asking if i could pay him with favors instead of money. I can only guess what that means cause i said no haha.

But it is a good spot; plenty of cars and plenty of room for them to stop, with a tram stop next to you if things dont work out. Also was lucky with a big cardboard dumpster next to the spot. Have fun

Spot worked great after unsuccesfully waiting for ~1.5hrs at the spot recommended by the utrecht page (52.0802, 5.0870)

Stood in front of the highway sign

Perfect spot to get a ride to the south/east
I usually park my bike in city near bar, walking 10min to this petrol station and it always nicely works here

awesome spot, lots of traffic, barely any wait time and the guy who took me was super chill and even took a detour to bring me to Utrecht Centrum.

Friendly guy stops right in the middle of the street, I was also red light so he didn’t care much (although, people were honking). Took me straight to Utrecht. Thank you!

Asked around, and some people were willing to help, but weren't going the right direction. After 20min found someone going direction of Amsterdam, who dropped me on a great resting spot/petrol station next to the highway there.

I got very lucky with an amazing ride with a nice Spanish couple going on holiday. I went up and asked the guy if he was going towards Belgium and if I could go with him. We even had a shot of vodka to say goodbye.

Its probably not that good of a spot, but we got really lucky and second car we asked were on a way back home to France and they were willing to take us close to the exact place in Rotterdam we wanted to visit.
