[[File:LiftplaatsGroningen.jpeg|thumb|right|The [[liftershalte]] in Groningen. Currently there ]]  ==== Spot 2: Van Ketwich Verschuurlaan x A28/E232 ====There is no more an unused bus stop at the on-ramp onto A28 with plenty of space to stop. An especially good spot in the early morning, hitchhiking with commuters southwards towards Assen or Zwolle. [[User:ArjanT98|Arjan]] stood here for about 30 minutes before being given a ride to Assen.[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] hitched at this bus stop when it was still active with a sign: "A7 -->" (direction Germany). However, not much traffic here goes east. This access lane is a 2.5 km walk from the central station or the city center, but you can recognize an Hitchwiki and Trustroots sticker ]be approached on bus line 10 every half hour as well [November 2022] .

Linde also stood on the onramp on the crossing of Europaweg and Bergenweg. Was , but was sent away by the police. They treathened with a fine of 140 euros. To reach this spot, you have to walk next to the road, there is no pedestrian/ bike path, which makes it illegal to stand there. Russ also stood on the onramp of Europaweg and bergenweg. I do not suggest this spot on Sundays. I waited for almost two hours and maybe 30 cars were going on the highway. The police passed me twice but just smiled. Probably a great spot during the week.

Clicks walked around the building sites at site to the bus stop Lubeckweg on the crossingEuropaweg. (It seems like it’s no longer operating, which is good.) They managed to catch a ride east in under 30 minutes, using a sign. Signs may be useful since not all traffic here is heading east.

==== Spot 5: A28 access lane====''[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] hitched at the busstop on the A28 access lane 39 "Groningen-Zuid" with a sign "A7 -->". This access lane is a 7 minutes busride away from Groningen central station frequented 10(+)x/hour (cost EUR 1Esso Kolham,30), the busstop is called Van Ketwich Verschuurbrug, or a 2.5 km walk from the central station or the center. ==== By bus to in Scharmer (1h.) ====There is a petrol station on the highway about 10km out of town which is easily accessible by bus (cost EUR 3,50). Take line 78 (1x/hour) from Groningen central e.g. Line 5 until the final station heading to Appingedam and get of at the stop Scharmer, Hoofdweg 15Goldbergweg. From there walk in the direction in which the bus is going and take the first road on the right to cross the highway. You can see the petrol station from the bridge. After the bridge turn right again and walk all the way until the end of the road. Almost you are almost past the petrol station there . There is a small bridge consisting of roofing material made for the employees of the petrol station to cross the water.

The above station is no longer direct from Groningen central. You must take bus 5 to the end then walk 16 mins.[[User:Tzuiop9c|Tzuiop]]: On a Wednesday (I stood there from 11-12.00 and 16-1800) there 18.00. There were very very few cars going to Germany. I suspect this will be different on the weekends. I could not find a ride further than the border or Leer.
