Heading south?
You go rather directly to Heading further than Paris? To the south of France (and Italy, Spain)?Then Have a '''"LYON"-sign'''. Why? To avoid Paris. As it takes quite some time It is difficult to cross Paris.And even more time Especially to leave Paris.Better choose So therefore consider a '''"LYON"-sign'''when you are still north of Paris.In this case try Try to get on the "autoroute" A26. Try Like try to someone take you to the "Peage" (= toll) right before the junction between A1/A26. Stand : stand at this "Peage"-square with a "A26/LYON"-sign).

=== Going south? Take the A1 towards [[Paris]], or directly to south of France join the A26 towards [[Reims]], [[Dijon]], [[Lyon]] (so also direction Spain & Italy) ===
Going to Paris?
Have a '''"PARIS"-sign'''.
The "autoroute" A1 leads to Paris.
From Lille you can choose to go the first petrol station on the A1, direction Paris.
;Option 4
Go to ''metro station « Porte de Postes »''. Here is a big roundabout. It's possible to get a ride in several directions. Westwards : direction Calais /Dunkerque (via A25). Eastwards : directions like Paris/Gand/Anvers/Amsterdam/Brussels. It's safe for cars to pull over and one can ask also at the traffic lights.
=== Going north? Take the A22/E17 towards [[Antwerpen|Antwerp]], [[Brussels]], [[Gent]], [[Netherlands]] ===

Otherwise, take the tram-line T to Chateau Rouge. As you get out, you can see the motorway. The spot is the motorway slip road. There's not a lot of traffic, but there is space for drivers to safely pull over and pick you up.
Or else, get to the petrol station on the N356 about 800m north of metro station Mons Monts Sarts. (Need to jump a small fence and a 2 meter drop! There is a place for your foot so you can slide and jump, but it is still quite a wall). From here you can find lifts going into Belgium and have the chance to talk to drivers.
The '''French/Belgium border''' is not a good spot anymore. It is now just a big parking lot where trucks stop, all sign of the previous building there have vanished, it is not possible to hitch on the highway anymore and hardly any car stop there. To get there you'll have to take the Line 2 of the metro until "C. H. Dron" (last stop, and actually already in Tourcoing, not in Lille). And walk 30 to 45 Min to it there is an access road with to fence or barrier stopping people on foot. You might be able to get a ride to the petrol station 5 km into Belgium at Kortrijk where loads of Netherland folk stop for a refill but it will be hard.
=== Going east? Take the A27 towards [[Tournai]](= Doornik in Flemish), [[Brussels]] ===
Getting on the A27 by feet from the centre of Lille is several kilometers. A good option is go to "metro station « 4 Cantons »". From there it is about 500 meters to a roundabout which is situated west of the N227, where the D146 (a part of this D146 is called "''Rue Nicolas Appert''") is crossing the this N227 (which carries the name "''Boulevard du Breucq''", and is part of the E17).
(September 2017 Roel dropped Nati, she is from Argentina, at this roundabout 11h00 in the morning. She claimed to found a hitch in 5 minutes.)
=== Going west? Take the A25 towards [[DuncerqueDunkerque]], [[Calais]] ===
See above, going north:
Go to ''metro station « Porte de Postes »''. Here is a big roundabout. It's possible to get a ride in several directions. Westwards : direction Calais/Dunkerque (via A25).
