The A1 on ramp there is not a very good place to be, you can try for a few minutes though if you're already tired walking. Otherwise the border is some 1 kilometer down the highway. There is space to walk behind the safety barrier. Once there, you'll see the abandoned border terminal. Get past it, and there will be plenty of room to hitch. Speed is limited to 70 km/h there. You can try to catch a ride into the Netherlands or just get a ride to the gas station 5 km into Belgium at Kortrijk where loads of Netherlands folk stop for a refill.
* '''Last verified''': August 2012. The best place to go anywhere is the hard shoulder near Porte d'arras Arras Metro station - just follow the signs to Highway. Within 20 minutes many cars heading towards every directions stopped. To Brussels use sign B and you get there very easy. (this spot is also indicated in the section describing direction south (A1/A26).
=== A1 South towards [[Paris]], [[A26 (France)|A26]] [[Reims]], [[Dijon]], [[Lyon]] ===
