[[User:Synapsed|Synapsed]] had good luck by the petrol station on '''Verenigde Natieslaan'''. 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. (August 2015)
[[User:Lilo_lies|Lilo_lies]] hitched with a friend from here: https://osm.org/go/0EhTNkx8F-?m= On the lane directly going onto the highway is plenty of space to pull over. Also while the traffic light is red you can stand at the traffic circle and try to catch a ride there. A sign might be useful since the road spits after a few kilometers. Got a ride after 20 minutes to Brussels. (Feb. 2018)
[[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.
