A reconstruction of the A2 and A58, which forms a bit more than 50% of the ring road around the city, was started in 2007 and will continue for some years, perhaps 2011. Two previously great access lanes for hitchhiking are not suitable anymore due to that, being the ones at A2 access lane 33 ("Waalre"/"Valkenswaard").
In a few years the fly overs on junction Leenderheide will be realised and the current traffic lights on the junction will not exist anymore. A few more (golden olden) hitchhiking spots will then disappear, but they are not really essential (Floraplein should work!).
== Hitching Out Hitchhiking out == === All Directions ===Same as for going South, try it at the busstop at roundabout "Floraplein",here all cars go to the junction Leenderheide from where they can go in any direction. === South towards [[Maastricht]], [[Aachen]], southwest south-west towards [[Antwerpen|Antwerp]], east to [[Venlo]] ===There is a petrol station and a roundabout named "Floraplein" one kilometer north of the highwaymotorway-junction A2 x A67 (junction "Knooppunt Leenderheide"). There is a bus stop where people can easily stop just by this petrol station. This is a reknown well known spot for hitchhiking, which was very popular in the times when Dutch students still had to pay for public transport. You can get here by taking the bus from the Central Train Station. You have two choices - bus 173 to Floraplein or bus 7 to Korianderstrasse.An alternative for "Floraplein" is walking 2 km in south west direction. There are two entrances (towards Antwerpen, and Venlo) to the A67/A2 next to the "Van der Valk Hotel Eindhoven", at the Aalsterweg. Due to traffic lights, people clearly see you, and can stop easily.
=== North towards [[Den Bosch]], [[Amsterdam]], west towards [[Tilburg]], [[Breda]] ===
A2 access lane 31 "Veldhoven" (A2 x Noord-Brabantlaan). Several modern buses per hour to VeldhovenTake bus 401/402 from Eindhoven Central Station. Get out at the bus stop just before the motorway, should take about 10 minutes. Use a sign on the onramp. Onramp under reconstruction, but suitable (Feburary 2009)There are traffic lights to stand beside nearby.
=== South towards [[Maastricht]], east towards [[Venlo]], southwest towards [[Antwerpen|Antwerp]] ===A2 access lane 31 "Veldhoven" (A2 x Noord-Brabantlaan). Several modern buses per hour to Veldhoven. Get out at the bus stop just before the motorway. Use a sign on the onramp. Or ask at the traffic lights on the side of Mc DonaldMcD's (situation Feburary 2009). Do not confuse with A2 access lane 32 "Veldhoven-Zuid", this one is quite unsuitable in both directions.
=== West North towards [[TilburgNijmegen]], [[Breda]], etc ===There is a Shell petrol station on the ''J.F. Kennedylaan''. Go there to find a lift to the Tilburgweg/Postkoetsweg junction in [[A50 (Netherlands)|A50]]. Hitchhiking on the North-East of the city. There road itself is a set not allowed because of traffic lights before the MacDonalds with a lot status of regional traffic. According to Fverhart this is the junction of A2 x A58 (Knooppunt De Hogt)road, where although you cannot hitchhikemight get away. Maybe in The road has an emergency caseslane with traffic limited to 70 km/h. Do not confuse with A2 access You may as well stand on the merging lane 32 "Veldhoven-Zuid", this one is quite unsuitable in both directionsof the petrol station.
=== North towards [[Nijmegen]]===There This gas station is really small, but it still could be possible to find a Shell petrol ride here. Myself, I did not like the place too much so I walked direction A50 to Nijmegen. If you decide to leave the gas station on , you can walk for about 30+ minutes. At a certain point just before the ''Jactual ramp is a very tiny triangelish place of tarmac where a car can stop.FHowever, this is far from an ideal spot. Kennedylaan''The flow of traffic is very dense. Go there to stand about 10-15 meters in front of the little spot so the car can stop on the tarmac. If you don't find a lift ride at the gasstation, this is an option to the consider. This place might work better out of rush hour so there is more space and time between each car.Be carefull!--[[A50 User:Robbel|Robbel]] (Germany)[[User talk:Robbel|A50talk]].) 13:39, 15 November 2013 (CET)
The employees at this petrol station might send you away, or tell you that standing on the emergency lane is too dangerous. Another option is to stand at the acceslane from "Tempellaan", there's an emergency lane here where cars can easily stop. === From the [[airport ]] ===When you arrive at the airport, just follow the signs to the motorway, you'll reach it in 15 Minutes. The airport traffic merges here with the traffic from the city, so it's easy to get a ride, but you will need a sign. According to Fverhart due to the motorway works this A2 access lane 30 "Eindhoven Airport" is not suitable anymore any more to the north, to the south unknown. Alternative, walk further on the Anthony Fokkerweg untill until a small sideroad side-road and hitchhike there, or walk further to the second road crossing after the motorway. There is a bus stop, use sign. Or in stead walk towards the southeast south-east for three kilometers kilometres to A2 access lane 31 "Veldhoven". Or try to find a ride on the parking area of the airport.
