===Going North (Luxembourg, Holland, Belgium, Germany, etc.)===
I got a lift off a truck driver in an Esso garage on the A31/E23 car when I stood between a ESSO petrol station exit and a motorway just North of Metz (less than 5 KM from city centre)exit . It took me 20 10 minutes to get a ride. There appears to be alot a lot of international traffic in this region. To reach here you can get the number 6 bus for 'La MEXE' from the city centre. The ticket costs around 2 Euro. Get off at the stop beside the massive IKEA shopping centre and walk down the road until you see a roundabout and a ESSO service station nearby. Walk down the ramp until you just reach both of the exits.
A closer option, 2km walk from the center, is to walk along Boulevard du Pontiffroy towards northwest. Turn right on the Rue Ardant du Picq (Follow the signs saying Luxembourg/Thionville). After crossing two bridges comes the ramp to the highway. I hitched right before the ramp, on the bridge. See the map. Might be a bit problematic during rush-hour, then it could be better to hitch with a sign right after the roundabout on the end of Boulevard du Pontiffroy.
