“Official hitchhiking spot (liftershalte).”

“Good spot, there is a liftershalte 100 meters after the traffic lights, but this makes no sense. Sometimes I wait here too long like 45 minutes, but that is not a problem. To Arnhem Max 15 minutes wait.”

“It's a liftershalte (basically an official hitchhiking spot, signaled with a sign pole and all, check the pictures on google maps) Had a sign with "Arnhem" written on it and I put some music to kill time while waiting. The first song didn't even finish that a dude stopped by and I got my ride to Arnhem. Honestly quite an incredible experience and the fastest lift I'll probably ever got. I don't”

“Great spot during rainy or stormy weather, as there's a semi-enclosed bus shelter to hide in. Got a ride to a petrol station before Zwolle in less than 10 minutes.”

“I have a different experience: Lots of people going east towards Hengelo/Germany. Not so many heading north, but still very doable to find somebody in that direction, even late at night. No problems with employees for me.”

“Pretty good place to go east. I was here in the dark on an early Monday morning in January (during rush hour) and didn't get sent away. Found a ride to Osnabrück in about 20-30 minutes.”
