# New access lane [[File:Tmoon.jpg|thumb|250px|right|[[User:Tmoon|Tmoon]] hitching out of Maastricht]] 2. NOT ACCESSIBLE ANYMORE: Since the roadworks on the Maastricht Ring the cars that are bound to the A2-motorway on have a seperate road without room to pull over and don't stop at the junction Kruisdonk, near Rothemtraffic light anymore. Drivers Crossroad Meerssenerweg / Viaductweg where you can stop ask rides at the access lane on a hard shoulder beside traffic lights. Personal experience of [[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]]: works but not all traffic goes the driving laneA2. To get Sign A2 or A79 / Heerlen can help. [[User:OlcheMaith|Roaming Pencil]] always waits here from the city you can take bus line 59 for at least an hour, whether she's hitchhiking north or 159 until busstop "Kruispunt" in Rothemwest, then walk south along Ambyerweg / cycling path for 500 metersbut eventually it works.# Just before 3. Onramp A2-access lane "Maastricht-Randwyck at the road Oeslingerbaan" or usually better, just before this onramp on the bridge over the A2. There is a hard Hard shoulder on the bridge on which a driver can easily stop. A sign Heerlen is recommended here if you are Sign A2 for going there or into Germanynorth, passing by or Heerlen for going to Aacheneast. Bus 1 and 6 2 (direction De Heeg) stop nearby at busstop Oeslingerbaan/Langendaal. http://goo.gl/maps/430rZ# Crossroad Meerssenerweg / Viaductweg where you can ask rides at the traffic lights, or at the Terblijterweg, in front . Personal experience of [[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]]: An average wait of the Geusselt football stadium20 minutes, with so so space for a car sign A2 or A79 / Heerlen helps. Police may send you away here. Easiest way to stop. 1 km walk get on the bridge is from railway BP petrol station (take exit Meerssenerweg)walk behind the safety rail along Oeslingerbaan.

=== East towards [[Gulpen]], [[Aachen]] (N278/"Cadier en Keer") ===Take the bus #53 or #54 from the center towards ''Akersteenweg''. At this bus stop you'll find a petrol station[https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Esso/@50.8418987,5.7388902,18z/data=!4m21!1m15!4m14!1m6!1m2!1s0x47c0ded3c3a19e73:0x9c68915e1903c150!2sGenk,+Belgium!2m2!1d5.5021!2d50.96613!1m6!1m2!1s0x47c0ea267bccbe6f:0xe2b8beb79c8d93b5!2sAkersteenweg,+Maastricht,+Netherlands!2m2!1d5.7322656!2d50.8429126!3m4!1s0x0:0x5097d3d4b56f8abb!8m2!3d50.8422334!4d5.7397992?hl=en]. There you can try to get a lift towards [[Aachen]] in [[Germany]]. You might have to get a few lifts, village to village, along the N278 aka "Cadier en Keer", but you shouldn't ever have to wait very long. Usually a lift to at least Vaals, which is right before the border and Aachen, is possible.Towards Aachen it may be quicker to go via Heerlen.

Follow the rail track from the central station out of the town in a southern direction from the backside exit (use the bridge over the rails). At the first rail/road crossing south of the station hike on over the cycling path and later, still by the side of the railway, over Sint Gerardusweg. Follow this way until the end, thus you walk under a bridge and you will arrive at a motorway entrance on (John F. Kennedysingel). This is the junction named Europaplein; some hundreds of . Keep walking 100 meters further on at ahead to the other side of the railway motorway ramp. Average wait is the railway about 10 minutes, max. 30 minutes. Longer rides are not common. Petrol station between Maastricht Randwyck. If you stand at the corner of the road across from the sign pointing at and Liège (still in the A2/Luik (LiegeNetherlands) you will get a liftis not very busy, but can give longer rides into France. [[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]]'s average waiting time here Knowing the good spots in Liège to hitch-hike is 11 minutes for a ride to Liegegood idea.

__NOTOC__Best place towards [[Hasselt]] is at or just after the traffic lights at the crossing of Via Regia and Canteleerstraat, the first crossing after the traffic square Via Regia. Expect short rides to [[Veldwezelt]], [[Mopertingen]] and [[Bilzen]]. You will reach the motorway at [[Diepenbeek]] or [[Bilzen]], where you can easily get further. All the motorway access lanes in Hasselt are suitable for either [[Brussels]] or [[Antwerpen]]. Personal experience of [[trashUser:Maastricht]Fverhart|Fverhart]: Average wait of about 10 minutes and you should accept every ride that takes you further on the Belgian N2. Just before Bilzen you can hitch-hike at the roundabout towards Hasselt and further into Belgium.  == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}}
