[[abyssin]] prefers to leave tram 4 at stop Egide van Ophem. Then you just need to cross the street and you’ll find yourself on a DATS 24 petrol station. Depending on the time of the day (best is around evening rush hour, as people are leaving Brussels), it can be easy or very easy to get a ride to the rest area of Ruisbroek (Total petrol station). Make sure to state very clearly where you want to go (Ruisbroek petrol station on the “ring”) as many people go through it without knowing, for example if their destination is Waterloo.
Another option to take metro yellow line '''5''' (direction '''Érasme/Erasmus''') and get off at '''CERIA/COOVI'''. Walk Chaussée de Mons/Bergensesteenweg down south (you can ask people the direction of Ikea). Some 150 meters from the metro station you will see a bridge. Go down across the bridge, there you will see entrance (consisting of 3 lanes from 3 different directions) to the motorway in direction of Mons/Paris. 5 km further there will be a big '''Total''' gas station called '''Ruisbroek''', there you will easily find a ride further to the south.
Another option to take bus '''50''' (direction '''Lot''' station) to '''Gilson''' from Brussels '''gare du Midi/Zuidstation'''. This takes about 20 minutes. From here you can easily follow the road, alongside the massive shopping area, to the highway. You will find yourself at the motorway exits with traffic lights in five minutes.
Another option to go to the Internationalelaan/Boulevard International close to the motorway entrance. There is a lot of traffic and much space for cars to stop, even a [[petrol station hitchhiking|petrol station]] where you could ask people directly. To get there, take bus '''78''' from the '''South Train Station/gare du Midi''' in direction of '''Humanité''' and get out at the stop '''Bollinckx'''. Attention! The bus only runs every hour.
