== Hitchhiking out ==
=== North towards [[Eindhoven]] {{Autobahn|2}}, east towards [[Heerlen]], [[Aachen]] ([[Germany]]) {{Autobahn|79}} ===
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). With the upgrade of the N2 to [[A2 (Netherlands)|A2]] this liftershalte was removed.
<li> New access lane of the A2-motorway on the junction Kruisdonk, near [[Rothem]]. Drivers can stop at the access lane on a hard shoulder beside the driving lane. To get here from the city you can take bus line 59 or 159 until busstop "Kruispunt" in Rothem, then walk south along Ambyerweg / cycling path for 500 meters.
<li> Just before A2-access lane Maastricht-Randwyck at the road Oeslingerbaan, on the bridge over the A2. There is a hard shoulder on the bridge where on which a car coming from the west driver can easily stop. A sign [[Heerlen]] is recommended here if you are going there or into Germany, passing by or going to [[Aachen]].
<li> Crossroad Meerssenerweg / Viaductweg where you can ask rides at the traffic lights, or at the Terblijterweg, in front of the Geusselt football stadium, with so so space for a car to stop.
Generally, if you are heading for [[Germany]] passing by or going to [[Aachen]] you should aim for a ride to [[Heerlen]], where you can hitchhike again on the N281 towards [[Aachen]]. Standing on the junction just before [[Heerlen]] should be avoided, because it is not allowed to stand there.
