→West towards Hasselt, Antwerpen, Leuven, Brussels (Belgian N2)
1. Onramp N2 "Maastricht-Centrum Noord" at the west end of Terblijterweg; can be reached on foot from Stadionplein. Hard shoulder. NEWlocation since approx. January 2018.
[[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 have a seperate road without room to pull over and don't stop at the traffic light anymore. Crossroad Meerssenerweg / Viaductweg where you can ask rides at the traffic lights. Personal experience of [[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]]: works but not all traffic goes the A2. Sign A2 or A79 / Heerlen can help.
[[User:OlcheMaith|Roaming Pencil]] always waits here for at least an hour, whether she's hitchhiking north or west, but eventually it works.
When heading north (A2 and/or A73) it's allright to start with a simple "A2" sign. A great onramp to find a next ride is A2 exit Urmond (taken also by all drivers heading for Sittard). A sign again won't be of help there as drivers are bound for Roermond or Eindhoven there (and all could drop you at the upcoming service stations, A2 Shell Swentibold or A2 Esso Bosserhof).
====[[Heerlen]]====
At the crossing of "Nieuwe Limmelderweg" and A79 there is an onramp very suitable for hitchhiking due to great visibility. Tzuiop waited three times no longer than 15 minutes (all early in the morning 8-10AM) Many people who work at Heerlen companies like Brightlands and APB commute. Cons: 4.7km from the city center.

=== 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.
=== South towards [[Liège|Liege]] (A2) {{E|25}} ===
=== West towards [[Hasselt]], [[Antwerpen]], [[Leuven]], [[Brussels]] (Belgian N2) ===
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 [[User: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.
