“Tried it in April, I think it is a decent spot, but you have to put in effort to make eye contact with the drivers! It's easy for them to stop, so that is a big plus.”

“Tried for more than 1h with a "Belgium" and "Zuid" sign. One car stopped offering a ride to north, but nobody stopped to help direction south. In the end I changed to the access 100m from there, trying to reach Utrecht (it worked after a while).”

“Two backpackers (boy and girl) got a 20 km ride towards DenHaag after 45 minutes wait. Felt very confidence in this spot, and probably could get a better ride.”
