For further afield in Germany, try the junction with motorway [[A73 (Netherlands)|A73]] in Dukenburg. Okay, it's quite a way out of city centre, and there is little place to safely stop, but this is such a busy entrance, and there are so many cars going long-distance here that it's child's play to get a long ride. Even more so because just before the motorway split between [[A73 (Netherlands)|A73]] and [[A77 (Netherlands)|A77]] is just 15 kilometres south of here, and it has a large service area right before it. So any car going to [[Boxmeer]] or further can pick you up here, and there are many of those. When trying to hitch out towards [[Düsseldorf]], [[Cologne|Köln]] or further, one should use this ramp.

At the ''Graafseweg'' (direction [[Venlo]] and [[den Bosch|'s-Hertogenbosch]]) there is a liftershalte (often used as a parking spot), and many cars passing by are local. Better is to walk down to the intersection of Graafseweg and Neerbosscheweg (about 30 min. walk) and raise sign there. About one-fourth of cars passing here are for destinations in [[Brabant]] and [[Limburg]] province, so waiting times are fairly minimal considering the amount of (slow-moving) traffic and the good place to stop. It's also possible to get bus 2 and 99 here.

Another spot is there where one should try to get rides to [[Düsseldorf]] or [[Cologne|Köln]] directly at the onramp of [[A73 (Netherlands)|A73]] southbound. It's quite a way out, and there's not a whole lot of space to stop, but the statistics are overwhelmingly in your favour here, at least 50% are going to [[Boxmeer]] or further from here, which means they can drop you off at the [[rest area|service station]] before the [[A73 (Netherlands)|A73]] / [[A77 (Netherlands)|A77]] split.
