Limburg is a trans border province both in the south of the Netherlands and in the north-east of Belgium. The regional capital for the Belgian side is Hasselt while Maastricht is the Dutch equivalent.

Have a look at this (Netherlands) and this (Belgium) Wikipedia articles to get closer information.

Motorways

Located in the very heart of Western Europe, in between the Flemish Diamond, Randstad, Ruhrgebiet, Cologne and Paris major metropolitan areas, (>3 million) as well as numerous minor ones (0.5-3.0M) such as Arnhem-Nijmegen, Eindhoven and Liége, there is a very good chance that during your hitchhiking ventures across Europe you'll either pass through, or even end up in the province of Limburg.

North-South motorways

A2 Amsterdam-Luxembourg runs from Weert, passes Echt where it merges with the A73 Nijmegen-Echt, and on through Maastricht, where a section is bound to be upgraded to a full motorway in a tunnel, to the Belgian border south of Eijsden. and on to Liège

A73 Nijmegen-Echt connects Nijmegen, Venlo and Roermond with the south of Limburg. The Venlo-Echt section is brand new, and there are currently delays near Roermond due to construction work still taking place in the tunnels there.

East-West motorways

A77 Nijmegen-Cologne technically a N-S motorway, and only included here because it runs a full 6 kilometres through the far north of Limburg province, near Nijmegen.

A67 Bruges-(Antwerp-Ruhrgebiet)-Hannover cuts some 20 kilometres through the north of Limburg, near Venlo. Lots of traffic going from the UK/Ireland to Poland and back, as well as lots of lorrydrivers.

A2/A76 Antwerp-Aachen(-Köln) runs through the heart of Limburg, and passes Genk, Geleen and Heerlen along the way.

A13 Antwerp-Liége runs through the west of Limburg and passes Hasselt and Tongeren

A79 Maastricht-Heerlen short motorway connecting the cities of Maastricht and Heerlen in the south of Limburg with each other.
