[[Image:langewaterarnhem.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Arnhem - [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075784 a hitch too far?]]]
Use caution when choosing a hitchhiking spot in '''Arnhem'''.
Especially watch out for the IJsseloordweg. There is a petrol station marked as a hitchhiking spot on [http://www.liftershalte.info Liftershalte], [http://www.franknature.nl/hitchhike/hitchhike.htm Hitchhiking in the Netherlands], [http://www.autostopguide.com Autostop Guide to Europe] (plus maybe other sources) that no longer exists(as of May 2007).
This is on the N325 (IJsseloordweg) leading out of Arnhem onto the A12-A348 motorway junction. Google Maps still shows a satellite image of a petrol station, but as of summer 2006 the petrol station had been removed and only a Texaco sign on a bare concrete concourse remained.
If you are stuck at this spot (or at any other hitchhiking spot in Arnhem) whilst travelling to [[Germany]], then it may be worth accepting a lift to [[Nijmegen]] (very close to the border), and negotiating with the driver to make a short diversion and take you over the border. The roads on the German side of the border are secondary roads, but seem to be fairly effective for hitchhiking. See [[Nijmegen]].
