=== South-West towards [[Charleroi]], [[Mons (Bergen)|Mons]], [[Lille]], [[Paris]] (E19) ===
On the ''Internationalelaan'' (Boulevard International) close to the motorway entrance, there is a lot of traffic and much space for cars to stop, even a [[gas petrol station]] where you could ask people directly. To get there, take Bus #78 from the South Station in direction of ''Humanite'' and get out at the stop ''Bollinckx''.
Keep in mind that you are now in the middle of an industrial zone!
Reach the Station "Delta" in Ixelles, or bus 71 to Delta''. The street surrounding the University Campus is called ''Triomflaan'' (Boulevard du Triomphe) and ''Pleinlaan'' (Boulevard de la Plaine). There is also a large Texaco gas petrol station nearby, Delta is a spot where a lot of people hitchhike, especially to [[Louvain-la-Neuve]].
At the station 'Delta', you will notice a sign marked 'Taxistop' on the Jules Cockxstraat which is used as a carsharing kiss'n ride spot. Just hitch from there.
Take the tram #4, #19 or #23 to the stop ''De Wand'' or ''Esplanade'' (#4) and walk along the Avenue de Meysse up to the Antwerpselaan, crossing the Romeinsesteenweg you can hitch along the Antwerpselaan to catch a car that would get onto the highway at the Exit #2 of the A12. It is still possible that the car join the ring and the E19 towards [[Antwerp]] as Exit #3 is the Ring of Brussels junction.
Note: hitching further south on the Vuurkruisenlaan is a bit jeopardised jeopardized as there is are no places for a car to pull aside before it reaches the A12. The only possibility, as there is side parking along the road, is if there is sufficient space due to the fact that no cars are parked. Which makes it definitely a bad spot.

=== North-West towards [[Gent]] ===
Let people take you to the Basiliek of Koekelberg. Then ask them the direction for the highway. They'll indicate you to the back of the Basiliek of Koekelberg = Keizer Karel laan. Hike till for 1,4 km till on your right the Baselix Shopping Center, where you'll find 2 gas/fuel petrol stations. Stay there as people fill up with petrol for going to e.g. [[Gent]] or [[Brugge]].
Just ask people.. won't take you more than 10 minutes to get a hike.
