East towards Utrecht, Arnhem, Apeldoorn, Amersfoort, Germany (A20) {{European Route Number|25}}
* There is a great spot directly north of the central Station. It is about a 25 minute walk or take tram #25 in the direction of ''Schiebroek'' until the stop ''Schieweg'', which is just before the tram goes up onto a bridge over the motorway. Continue walking in the same direction on the right-hand side. During peak hours the traffic is very heavy and is slowed down by traffic lights feeding the traffic onto the motorway at intervals. There is a small parking area, so drivers have ample room to stop.
* Another spot is on the A16. Take the Metro to ''Kralingse Zoom'' and walk south down the Kralingse Zoom and then left at the Abram van Rijckevorselweg until you get to a huge roundabout with an on-road. There's a lot of space for cars to stop and a lot of traffic, but getting on the other side of the roundabout can be a tad dangerous and it's probably technically speaking illegal to stand there. A sign is a must.
* A third spot is at 'Knooppunt Kleinpolderplein' at the A20 Walk a little bit with the bicycle path (50 mtr) and you can hitchhike just before the sign that shows you are entering the highway. It is a 10 minutes walk from ' Diergaarde Blijdorp' , the zoo. A sign is a must and probably also technically speaking illegal. I had to wait 30 min. for a car with the sign 'Utrecht' but a sign with 'Eerste Benzinestation' will do even better probably.
* As the best spots are often at a BP de Vink petrol station on the highway, one could also choose to take the train (direction Utrecht, Leewarder, Groningen, Zwolle, Uitgeest or Gouda Goverwelle) or metro (A or B direction Nesselande or Binnenhof) to Rotterdam Alexander. Here you can take bus 190 to Gouda and get off at Luxemburgsezoom. From here you walk a few meter back to the roundabout and you go right to the bridge over the highway. You do not want to go over the bridge but pass it on the left side. You can walk until the highway and go left to the petrol station. This spot can also be reached from metrostation 'De Tochten', however, a longer walk is necessary.
