What hitchhikers said along this route

“Found a ride to Gent in less than one minute during rush hour. I had a sign "Gent". This place is really a good one since it is so close to the centre, direct access. A lot of people who work 9-5 and go to Gent or Oostende take this road.”

“One of the first spots where you'll see directions to get out of Brussels and to go towards other cities. We were two persons (1m1f) and waited 15minutes with a sign for Gent. Had a direct ride. Get out of Brussels before or after rush hour. HH in rush hour doubles your time.This particular spot is not so good in terms of decision time for the driver. short eye contact, small parking, fast traffic”

“Sign. Cars go slowly. 2 easy spots to stop (bus stop and a pull in part). Lots of friendly people passed by and chatted. Sign”

“Direction Gent, tram 82 on Chaussee de Gand. Dense traffic but a wide area on the bridge for a car to stop.”

“There´s a nice hard shoulder there, but a very very annoying advertising panel right in front of it obstructing the view. (10.2014)”

“After 15 min direct ride to Gent. I like that spot!”

“Good spot, I took less than 15 min to get a ride to Gent.”

“Kinda great speed for cars, but place is good. Direction Bruges in summer 2010.”

“If you are going to Gent/Oostende, avoid this place, there is no place for cars to stop, speed 80/100. Absolutely not recommended. Instead you could just walk to the petrol station 3 kms away, that is simply AMAZING for hh. or you take even a bus to zellik for getting closer to the petrol station. If you are going to Antwerp, Maastrich this place could be good”
