==Motorways==
Located in the very heart of Western Europe, in between the Flemish Diamond, Randstad, Ruhrgebiet, Cologne and Paris ''major'' metropolitan areas, (>3 million) as well as numerous minor ones (0.5-3.0M) such as Arnhem-Nijmegen, Eindhoven and Liége, there is a very good chance that during your hitchhiking ventures across Europe you'll either pass through, or even end up in the province of Limburg.
'''North-South motorways'''
[[A2 (Netherlands)|A2]] '''Amsterdam-Luxembourg''' runs from Weert, passes [[Echt]] where it merges with the [[A73 (Netherlands)|A73]] '''Nijmegen-Echt''', and on through Maastricht, where a section is bound to be upgraded to a full motorway in a tunnel, to the Belgian border south of Eijsden. and on to [[Liège]]
[[A73 (Netherlands)|A73]] '''Nijmegen-Echt''' connects Nijmegen, Venlo and Roermond with the south of Limburg. The Venlo-Echt section is brand new, and there are currently delays near Roermond due to construction work still taking place in the tunnels there.
'''East-West motorways'''
[[A77 (Netherlands)|A77]] '''Nijmegen-Cologne''' technically a N-S motorway, and only included here because it runs a full 6 kilometres through the far north of Limburg province, near Nijmegen.
[[A67 (Netherlands)|A67]] '''Bruges-(Antwerp-Ruhrgebiet)-Hannover''' cuts some 20 kilometres through the north of Limburg, near Venlo. Lots of traffic going from the [[UK]]/[[Ireland]] to [[Poland]] and back, as well as lots of lorrydrivers.
[[A2 (Belgium)|A2]]/[[A76 (Netherlands)|A76]] '''Antwerp-Aachen(-Köln)''' runs through the heart of Limburg, and passes [[Genk]], [[Geleen]] and [[Heerlen]] along the way.
[[A13 (Belgium)|A13]] '''Antwerp-Liége''' runs through the west of Limburg and passes [[Hasselt]] and [[Tongeren]]
[[A79 (Netherlands)|A79]] '''Maastricht-Heerlen''' short motorway connecting the cities of [[Maastricht]] and [[Heerlen]] in the south of Limburg with each other.
