== Hitching out ==
From the train station it's a brisk 800m walk to the motorway '''A32'''. The two on-ramps are in very different locations, so pay attention which one you want to take depending on the direction you want to travel.
=== South towards [[Zwolle]], [[Amsterdam]] or [[Hoogeveen]], [[Germany]] ===
Cross the ''Hoogeveenseweg'' and walk along ''Blankenstein'' towards the roundabout. The road has two lanes here, with the right one going onto the highway. Just after the first bend there's a good place to stand, right at the sign indicating you're leaving the city.
Most cars will continue south towards Zwolle from here, because the highway junction Lankhorst is located in such a way that coming from Meppel it's faster and shorter to continue along the '''N851''' and go onto the motorway at exit 24 if they want to travel to Hoogeveen or Germany.
=== North towards [[Steenwijk]], [[Leeuwarden]] ===
From the crossing, walk along the ''Hoogeveenseweg'', going under the highway. After around 150m the on-ramp starts at your right side. Because of the nearby traffic lights cars will be able to spot you already quite early.
