Oostende
,→East towards Brugge, Gent, Brussels and Antwerpen or South towards Lille
The best place is the traffic lights at the crossing of the Elisabethlaan and the Gistelsesteenweg. There is also a good spot by the petrol station between the lights and the round about (President Kennedyplein) from Verenigde Natieslaan, the northern entrance. The President Kennedyplein can easily be reached by foot from the town center, which is just over 2 km away.
Another spot https://osm.org/go/0EhTNkx8F-?m= On the lane directly going onto the highway is plenty of space to pull over. Also while the traffic light is red you can stand at the traffic circle and try to catch a ride there. A sign might be useful since the road spits after a few kilometers. == Trashwiki & Nomadwiki == [[Usernomad:kingarthur|kingarthurOostende]] hitched from the same spot as the user above ([[Usertrash:Lilo_lies|Lilo_liesOostende]]) with a sign that said "Bruxelles SVP :)" (French) and found a ride in 45 minutes to Ghent. Looking back, it would've been a better idea to write a sign in Dutch or Flanders as Oostende is in the Flanders region of the country and the Belgians can be patriotic towards their native region and its language.
