→From the airport
There is a petrol station and a roundabout named "Floraplein" one kilometer north of the motorway-junction A2 x A67 (junction "Knooppunt Leenderheide"). There is a bus stop where people can easily stop just by this petrol station. This is a well known spot for hitchhiking, which was very popular in the times when Dutch students still had to pay for public transport. You can get here by taking the bus from the Central Train Station. You have two choices - bus 173 to Floraplein or bus 7 to Korianderstrasse.
An alternative for "Floraplein" is walking 2 km in south west direction. There are two entrances (towards Antwerpen, and Venlo) to the A67/A2 next to the "Van der Valk Hotel Eindhoven", at the Aalsterweg. Due to traffic lights, people clearly see you, and can stop easily.
Another option for heading east/Venlo is taking the train to Geldrop (just about 5min, single-way ticket is 2,30€) and walk about 2km from Geldrop train-station to an Esso petrol station directly on the motorway A67 (only eastwards) south of Geldrop: Leave the train-station towards southwest, cross the whole park and hold left (towards south) until you cross a bigger car-road (Gijezenrooiseweg), still heading south (Laan van Tolkien), pass the supermarket on the left and go straight on through the park in the borough with streets called after Lord of the Rings-characters. You'll find "Dwalin"-path on the right, it becomes "Fili"-street. At the end of "Fili" turn right in "Durin"-street, follow until the end of the road, turn left in "Genoenhuis"-road and next oportunity turn right. Follow the road for 200 meters. You'll find yourself on a bridge over the A67, on the right you can see the petrol station very close. Take the steep path on the right at the end of the bridge between the highway-ramp and a fence. After a very few meters is a truck-park and the petrol station, where you can ask people for a ride.

A2 access lane 31 "Veldhoven" (A2 x Noord-Brabantlaan). Take bus 401/402 from Eindhoven Central Station. Get out at the bus stop just before the motorway, should take about 10 minutes. There are traffic lights to stand beside nearby.
When I hitched to A'dam I stood in the Noord Brabantlaan at the ramp on the A2 towards north. (bus 401/402, bus-stop "Hurksestraat") There's plenty space to stop for the cars, but it's better to thumb as to use a sign! If you want to go towards north on the A2 and cannot find a long-distance-ride, try to catch a ride to the Texaco petrol station on the A2, which is before the towns of Broxtel and Liempde (just about 8km north of Eindhoven).

=== From the [[airport]] ===
When you arrive at the airport, just follow the signs to the motorway, you'll reach it in 15 Minutes. The airport traffic merges here with the traffic from the city, so it's easy to get a ride, but you will need a sign. According to Fverhart due to the motorway works this A2 access lane 30 "Eindhoven Airport" is not suitable any more to the north, to the south unknown. Alternative, walk further on the Anthony Fokkerweg until a small side-road and hitchhike there, or walk further to the second road crossing after the motorway. There is a bus stop, use sign. Or in stead walk towards the south-east for three kilometres to A2 access lane 31 "Veldhoven". Or try to find a ride on the parking area of the airport.
