== Hitching Out ==
Getting out of Gent isn't too difficult.
=== All directions ===
Go to the spot near the Woodrow Wilson square. Nobody many people know this square, but if you say "de zuid", everbody knows where you talking about. Hitch at the road going to the highway (). There is a 3 meters wide bike lane, so plenty of place to stop for the cars. Using a cardboard would be clever, as this entry of the highway splits to different directions.
Very good place to hitch towards any direction.
=== Southwest towards [[Lille]] ===
* Option 1: Try getting a ride at the light [http://www.liftershalte.info/?lat=51.03653663169207&lng=3.7372398376464844&zoom=17&trip=24 here], all traffic has to stop so you have plenty of time to talk to people or show your sign off. But make sure you don't make the mistake of trying to get there by getting on the ramp [http://www.liftershalte.info/?lat=51.042722811470185&lng=3.7326908111572266&zoom=17&trip=0 here]. It's a lot longer than it looks and cars are going dangerously fast. You'll end up having to jump from the bridge to the ground below like [[User:Zac Stewart|Zac]] did.
* Option 2: Go to the big roundabout “De Sterre” near the Sint Pieter station. There you can hitch the N60 towards “Oudenaarde” until you reach the motorway E 17 at Eke.
