=== East towards [[Utrecht]], [[Arnhem]], [[Apeldoorn]], [[Amersfoort]], [[Germany]] (A20) {{European Route Number|25}} ===
There is a great spot directly north of the central Station. It is about a 25 minute walk or take tram #25 in the direction of ''Schiebroek'' get off the tram until the stop ''Schieweg'', which is just before it climbs the tram goes up onto a bridge over the motorway. Continue walking in the same direction on the right-hand side. There is a reasonably sized stopping area. During peak hours the traffic is very heavy and is slowed down by traffic lights feeding the traffic onto the motorway at intervals. I There is a small parking area, so drivers have used this point three times at different times of the day (9:00am - 5 minute wait, 10:00am - 5 minute wait, 3:30pm - 20 minute wait)ample room to stop.
Most cars are heading to [[Utrecht]]. To get to [[Germany]] you could try your luck with a ''D'' sign or first try towards [[Arnhem]] for [[Köln]] and [[Frankfurt am Main|Frankfurt]] from a service area (the border service areas are large with high traffic volume).  To get to [[Hamburg]], [[Hannover]], [[Berlin]] or for [[Denmark]] try ''Apeldoorn/A1'' for a service area on the [[A1 (Netherlands)|A1]]. This will also bring you onto the Amsterdam-Copenhagen route.
Tip: Stand in a position where the street sign does not come between you and the drivers' view.
