==== Option 2: Start of E40 ====
Take tram 82 from the Gare du Midi in direction of ''Berchem'' until the stop ''Berchem Shopping''. From there turn left and walk up the Av. Charles Quint for about 200 meters and you are at the beginning of the E40 in the direction of Gent. Just hitch after the traffic lights, where there is space for a car to pull over behind you. The circulation is dense but cars can easily pull over and get back on the road quite safely. You can also reach this spot by the following the directions in Option 1 and then continue walking 400m west along the main road R20. This spot was last successfully used on July 30th 2017December 14th 2018.
==== Option 3: Motorway service station Groot Bijgaarden ====
'''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]].
- In 2018 I found this spot to be difficult. You do get past the ring, but the flux of traffic was low. I needed a bit less than an hour to get going (it was around 10 AM)... Pinti
'''Option 5.'''
Stand by the roundabout next to the parking lot entrance to the Cora supermarket, in Woluwe. From the Roodebeek metro station, walk 15min or take bus 45 to Gulledelle.
