'''Option 3.''' Get to premetro Station "Diamant". You can get there by taking the metro to Schuman (Direction 1/5 Stockel/Hermann-Debroux) and change then to bus 79 (direction Kraainem) or take tram no. 25 from Rogier in direction of Boondaal Station/Gare Boondael. Cross "Bld. Auguste Reyers" in eastern direction. Then walk to the spot on the small street, just after the traffic lights, that leads to the A3-motorway. There is plenty of space for cars to pull over.
Update, June 2018: There are major road works at this spot and cars are being diverted to a nearby entrance to the highway. We followed the signs for the diversion; maybe a 1km walk, and reached the point where cars enter the road. It's on a bend, quite narrow and not much space for a car to stop safely. We still got a ride within 15 minutes to the first gas station but you will need to be lucky and find a driver who will stop for you at a dangerous spot!
'''Option 4.''' The best way to leave the city fast and in the right direction is going past the ring road. So, if you're ok to pay the public transport, take the [https://www.delijn.be/fr/lijnen/lijn/3/351/2 De Lijn bus 351] from the train station Brussels-North and stop at [http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/50.8744/4.4931 Nossegem - Centrum] (it takes 30 minutes and cost 3 euros). Walk a few metres in the direction of the bus and you reach a big crossroad where the highway is announced. Follow the sign and turn right to find a very comfortable point to hitchhike to [[Leuven]] or [[Liège|Liege]].
