There was a ''[[liftershalte]]'', a special spot for hitchhiking, at the beginning of the [[A2 (Netherlands)|A2]] near the soccer stadium ''De Geusselt'' (Viaductweg x N2/A2) (direction [[Eindhoven]]) and the [[A79 (Netherlands)|A79]] (direction [[Heerlen]]). With the upgrade of the N2 to [[A2 (Netherlands)|A2]] this liftershalte was removed.
Probably very easy to hitchhike towards [[Eindhoven]] ([[Utrecht]]), [[Heerlen]], [[Venlo]] ([[Nijmegen]]) from the crossing N2 x Professor Cobbenhagenstraat/Voltastraat. In the end of This spot exists since June 2013 , after the road has been moved because of the road works, On this spot you find an exit lane for road works traffic, where you are very well visible and where stopping is easy. Traffic passes at 50-60 kmh. Situation can change!
Currently it is possible to hitchhike out of Maastricht towards [[Eindhoven]] and [[Heerlen]] / [[Aachen]] at the Viaductweg. The spot is located at the crossing of Viaductweg and Meerssenerweg. East of this crossing there is a fair strip of asphalt in the middle (!) of the road, where you can stand. All passing cars enter either the A2 or the A79 here. Preferably use a sign.
