For both directions the on-ramp 33 ''Assen-Centrum/West'' works best. From the city centre, walk in western direction along the canal. After some time about 30 minutes, you'll have the northbound on-ramp on your right. For southbound , cross under the highway and turn right until you hit the roundabout. You can also take bus 114/115 from Assen station/city centre and get out at bus stop Balkendwarsweg for direction Zwolle or Balkenweg for direction Groningen. For direction Groningen, you can also use on-ramp 34 ''Assen-Noord'', especially when coming from the northern parts of Assen. It has a broad and long hard shoulder starting long before the highway sign and is conveniently located behind traffic lights, so the cars are going at a reasonably slow pace and can see you well. Waiting times for Groningen are rarely longer than 2-3 minutes and no sign is needed.
