Changes

Since the 80s Dutch students have a card providing them with free public transport (either in weekends or during the week), so hitchhiking is not as popular as it used to be. There are still official ''liftershaltes'' in some university towns. Check [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liftershalte Wikipedia] for an overview. Other good places are petrolstations along the motorways and the entrance to the motorway from a larger city (when it has an emergency lane). On such a place the average waiting time is 15-45 minutes (same as Germany). Major difference with [[Germany]] is that a typical lift is only 25-50 km.
