** Just 3 km behind the 1st ramp drivers will recognize a small parking area with a toilet building. Hitchhiking from here is OK, some trucks stopping here and maybe some travellers from the [[Netherlands]] want to make a first stop in [[Germany]]. Just prepare yourself for waiting some 40-50 minutes, the A30 is sometimes very empty and then cars on this parking area are rare. Maybe you can ask one of the many passing border police cars to give you a ride. Questions about you and your stay in the [[Netherlands]] to find out if you have marijuana with you are normal, especially when you are a hitchhiker somewhere on the road from Amsterdam to [[Germany]] :-) Just relax and stay cool, the guys from the border police also do. Mostly. :-)

** Small traffic-island to stand on, some space for cars to stop behind. [[User:platschi|platschi]] was standing here lots of times and got lifts within only some minutes in direction [[Rheine]] or further. Towards the [[Netherlands]], not much traffic going, mostly locals heading towards Oldenzaal, which is a much better place to hitch already. [[User:Platschi|Platschi's]] waiting time eastwards: average 5 minutes, westwards average 40 minutes. A lot of traffic here on weekdays between 3 15:00 and 4 pm16:00!

** This ramp is quite small, there is not much space to stop cars when they go onto the motorway. No hard shoulder to stand on, just a tiny traffic island. But if there is not much traffic (and that seems to be quite often), people can and will stop for you. It is directly at the motorway junction, so take care where people are going to! For the other direction towards ''NL'', you're definitely wrong, though traffic towards Bad Bentheim ramp occurs. Waiting time can differ from 10 minutes to 1 hour.
