At the verkeersplein near the Waalbrug (direction [[Arnhem]]) there is a liftershalte(coördinates: 51. 845040, 5.873448). this is a hitch-hiking spot as it should be, and you hope it to be. It should be no trouble at all to get to the first gas station on de A50 from where you can easily get to Zwolle or Hengelo. Possibly, at the petrol station on the A325 almost everybody is going to Arnhem.

Option 1: 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.

Option 2: 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. IF you want to take this option, take the bus to ''station Dukenburg'' there are a lot of busses that go there so this should be easy. (If you want to plan your journey to any bus or train station or any location in general use the website 9292.nl This will give a very nicee and clear schedule.) From Station Dukenburg stand with the busstops behind you and the railway to your right and take a right under the tunnel. Take a left at the giant roundabout and from there it is a 10-15 minute walk straight ahead to the onramp. It should take you 20 minutes to get a ride.  Option 3: There is a gas station near the onramp (described at option 2) you can ask people here and/or raise sign a couple of metres before the way to the gasstation so they can easily stop there if they want. If you want to check it out: search for Wijchenseweg 1, Nijmegen om google maps. It took me around 20 minutes to hitch a ride to Venlo from here.
