“HHiked from there to Lille. Had to wait about 20 minutes for a ride on a Thursday around noon. I got there by hhiking from the spot 2 kms north at the red light. a lot more cars pass by there, but the gas station is a lot nicer place than up there under the bridge; by the way, the spot is correct, the site is no more under construction as in the satellite image ;)”

“As we didn't speak French that good , we decided to stand by the exit of petrol station with a sign to Lille (FR). Wasn't a good idea. After half-an-hour spent there we went back and 15 minutes later got a car from petrol station directly to Lille. (2 people)”

“Around 10 minutes wait on a Wednesday morning (10:20). I had a big back pack with me and 3 card boards. One with a "next gas station symbol", and the other 2 with Mons and Paris.
