The A30 is a short and boring motorway (129 km) in Germany. It connects the Dutch A1 (beginning in Amsterdam) with Germany and ends up in Bad Oeynhausen. It is an important section of the connection between Amsterdam and Berlin.
The A30 is a part of the E30 from Cork in Ireland to Ufa in Russia.
It crosses the A31 (Emden - Bottrop) near Schüttdorf, the A1 (Heiligenhafen - Saarbrücken) and the A33(Osnabrück - Paderborn) in Osnabrück. At it's end in Bad Oeynhausen it is possible to go over to the A2, but you have to cross the whole city. A direct connection A30 -> A2 is planned and seems to be finished in April 2010.
Traveling along the A30 is different. Coming from the Netherlands, it is very easy to get rides at least towards Hannover or Osnabrück. The part between Bad Bentheim (where it begins) until Osnabrück seems to be hard to hitchhike, especially towards the Netherlands the traffic will be less. From Osnabrück til Bad Oeynhausen you will find enough traffic because of the cars coming from the A1 going towards Hannover.
There is only ONE petrol station located along this highway (Tankstelle Grönegau) near Melle between Osnabrück and Bad Oeynhausen. A second Raststätte is located at the border between Germany and the Netherlands, but without a petrol station. Some maps will tell you that there is a petrol station at Brockbachtal between Ibbenbüren and Osnabrück. That's a goddam joke, but nevertheless a good parking area for hitchhiking, even without a service station.
