# One of the historically well known (by locals) hitch hiker places towards the direction of [[Louvain-La-Neuve]] (student town) is right '''at the exit of Metro "Delta"'''. Next to the Delta Bus Depot. To get there, Metro 5 direction Herrmann-Debroux, or Bus 71 Delta. It takes a minute or two before a car stops, and it is not rare to bump into one or two other (student) hitchhikers there. There's a gas station (Lukoil) next to the metro station where you won't wait more than five minutes on a Sunday morning if you say you're a student.
:Historical Note: As Louvain-La-Neuve is a student town, and Delta is at the entrance of the motorway and next to the University of Brussels, many students used to hitchhike that route.
# '''Station "Beaulieu" in Ixelles ''' (''Metro 5 direction Herrmann-Debroux''). You will notice many cars stopping at traffic lights just before the station. This road connects with the motorway towards the South. I got a lift in less than 2 minutes. There is a big service station 10 minutes down the road if needed for further lifts.
:Note that the E411 starting from there head direction South to [[Namur]], [[Luxembourg]], [[Lorraine]] in [[France]] and [[Rheinland-Pfalz]] in [[Germany]]. Many junctions, such as the southern ring near Jezus-Eik, gives the chance to reach the E19 (towards [[Charleroi]], [[Mons (Bergen)|Mons]] and [[Paris]]) or the E42 just north of [[Namur]]. Using a sign would ease the journey but remember that '''none of these junctions are hitchhiking friendly'''.
no edit summary
The E411 to Luxembourg is a recommended direction to head further South. This option should probably also be considered to go the South if you want to avoid [[Paris]]. Because petrol is a lot cheaper in Luxembourg you can easily find long rides at the gas station in Luxembourg before the border.
=== South towards [[Waterloo]] (local hitching) ===
