There is an official liftplaats about 50m south of metro station Sloterdijk on Haarlemweg.
For [[User:Liva|Liva]] it was not the best place even though you have had to do it when your you're anyway there...

===North towards [[Alkmaar]], [[Zaandam]]===
There is an A10 on-ramp near Sloterdijk station. Exit the station and go 200m east on ''Hatostraat'', 250m north on ''La Guardiaweg'' and 250m east on ''Basisweg'' and then cross over to the on-ramp.
Another ramp is a little way up the street from the last. Get there from the last by continuing further down ''Basisweg'' (which becomes ''Transformatorweg'' until ''Kabelweg''). Follow this north past s101 (''Nieuwe Hemweg''). The ramp is off of ''Vlothavenweg''.
===South and Southeast towards [[Utrecht]], [[Breda]], [[Nijmegen]], [[Arnhem]], [[Düsseldorf]], [[Antwerpen]], [[Brussels]], [[Paris]]===
There is one straight highway heading to Utrecht and further (A2). There are several spots near the Martin Luther King Park in Amsterdam Zuid. Take tram 25 to its end-stop or tram 4 or 12 and walk from the Vrijheidslaan south through the Rijnstraat to the highway (A10/ A2).
You can stand at the traffic lights before the crossing and pro-actively ask driverswho go straight on to drop you at the next petrol station 200 meters further, or you walk over the bridge and try it at the hard shoulder (less good). You can also , or even walk further over the hard-shoulder and the grass (mind, this is ''not'' allowed) towards a petrol station 250 meters further, behind the bend. Be careful when walking here though, the space between the you and cars and you is minimal. It works also pretty well to ask drivers at the traffic-lights to bring you to this petrol station.
Just before Utrecht, after exit 5 ([[Breukelen]]) and just some kilometers before the Utrecht Ring you can find a big petrol-station called [http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verzorgingsplaats_Haarrijn Haarrijn]. This is an excellent spot to find drivers for larger distances.

===East towards [[Amersfoort]], [[Hengelo]], [[Nijmegen]], [[Osnabruck]], [[Hamburg]], [[Bremen]], [[Berlin]]===
There is a [[liftplaats]], a spot specifically for hitchhiking, at the Gooiseweg next to the Prins Bernhardplein situated before NS Station Amsterdam Amstel (pass the bus stop). This road leads to the ramp of the S112 of the A10, the highway around Amsterdam (direction A1 and A2). A little bit further on that road there is also and behind the bend you will find a petrol-station where you can talk to drivers, often a better way for getting a ride.
Most cars here will drive along the A1 towards [[Amersfoort]], [[Hengelo]] and [[Germany]] but you can also find (though not as easy) rides to [[Utrecht]], [[Arnhem]], [[Nijmegen]] and [[Belgium]]. Because there are so many different directions (and sometimes even many hitchhikers) it's better to make a sign.
There are trains, trams (12,51) and metros to Amstel station from most other stations in Amsterdam. It is a couple of minutes walk from there.
