=== East towards [[Brugge]], [[Gent]], [[Brussels]] and [[AntwerpenUser:Lilo_lies|Lilo_lies]] hitched with a friend from here: https://osm.org/go/0EhTNkx8F-?m===The best place On the lane directly going onto the highway is plenty of space to pull over. Also while the traffic lights light is red you can stand at the crossing of the Elisabethlaan traffic circle and the Gistelsesteenwegtry to catch a ride there. Other untried options are the entries onto the the President Kennedyplein on A sign might be useful since the other sides, iroad spits after a few kilometers.e. from the Ringlaan or the Verenigde NatieslaanGot a ride after 20 minutes to Brussels. The President Kennedyplein can easily be reached by foot from the town center, which is just over 2 km away(Feb. 2018)
{{stub}}[[User:kingarthur|kingarthur]] hitched from the same spot as the user above ([[User:Lilo_lies|Lilo_lies]]) with a sign that said "Bruxelles SVP :)" (French) and found a ride in 45 minutes to Ghent. Looking back, it would've been a better idea to write a sign in Dutch or Flanders as Oostende is in the Flanders region of the country and the Belgians can be patriotic towards their native region and its language.

== Hitching Out Hitchhiking out ==<map lat=== East towards [[Bruges|Brugge]], [[Gent]], [[Brussels]] and [[Antwerpen]] or South towards [[Lille]] ===The best place is the traffic lights at the crossing of the Elisabethlaan and the Gistelsesteenweg. There is also a good spot by the petrol station between the lights and the round about (President Kennedyplein) from Verenigde Natieslaan, the northern entrance. The President Kennedyplein can easily be reached by foot from the town center, which is just over 2 km away. ===Personal Experiences ===The spot towards [[Bruges|Brugge]], [[Gent]], [[Brussels]] and [[Antwerpen]] has been used by [[User:Prino|Prino]] many times. It '''seems'''51to be the best.217There is no decent place to stop when coming from the center via the '''Verenigde Natieslaan''' and at the entry onto the '''President Kennedyplein''' from the '' lng='2.927Ringlaan' zoom='15' view=most drivers will be more preoccupied watching the traffic while trying to enter the round-about.

Cars rolling from a red are passing slow enough to stop on the shoulder on which there is plenty of space. People at the petrol station, staff and customers, were friendly and approachable.
