'''Eindhoven''' is a city in [[Noord Brabant]], [[Netherlands]].
A reconstruction of the A2 and A58, which forms a bit more than 50% of the ring road around the city, was started in 2007 and will continue for some years, perhaps 2011. Two previously great access lanes for hitchhiking are not suitable anymore due to that, being the ones at A2 access lane 33 ("Waalre"/"Valkenswaard").
== Hitchhiking out ==
=== South towards [[Maastricht]], [[Aachen]], southwest towards [[Antwerpen|Antwerp]], east to [[Venlo]] ===
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 reknown 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.
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.
=== South towards [[Maastricht]], east towards [[Venlo]], southwest towards [[Antwerpen|Antwerp]] ===
A2 access lane 31 "Veldhoven" (A2 x Noord-Brabantlaan). Several modern buses per hour to Veldhoven. Get out at the bus stop just before the motorway. Use a sign on the onramp. Or ask at the traffic lights on the side of Mc Donald's (situation Feburary 2009). Do not confuse with A2 access lane 32 "Veldhoven-Zuid", this one is quite unsuitable in both directions.
