Most cars are heading to [[Utrecht]]. To get to [[Germany]] you could try your luck with a ''D'' sign or first try towards [[Arnhem]] for [[Cologne|Köln]] and [[Frankfurt am Main|Frankfurt]] from a service area (the border service areas are large with high traffic volume).
To get to [[Hamburg]], [[Hannover]], [[Berlin]] or for try A third spot is at 'Knooppunt Kleinpolderplein'Apeldoorn/A1'' for at the A20 Walk a service area on little bit with the [[A1 bicycle path (Netherlands50 mtr)|A1]]and you can hitchhike just before the sign that shows you are entering the highway. It is a 10 minutes walk from ' Diergaarde Blijdorp' , the zoo. This will A sign is a must and probably also bring you onto technically speaking illegal. I had to wait 30 min. for a car with the Amsterdam-Copenhagen routesign 'Utrecht' but a sign with 'Eerste Benzinestation' will do even better probably.
Tip: Stand in a position where the street sign does not come between you and the drivers' view.
*''My personal advice is not to confuse drivers with 'D' signs or 'Arnhem' or 'Apeldoorn' as those As the best spots are locations further away. The priority should be to get to any fuel often at a BP de Vink petrol station on the highway where by talking , one could also choose to people take the train (direction Utrecht, Leewarder, Groningen, Zwolle, Uitgeest or Gouda Goverwelle) or metro (A or B direction Nesselande or Binnenhof) to Rotterdam Alexander. Here you can take bus 190 to Gouda and get a ride even as far as to Lithuania or Bulgariaoff at Luxemburgsezoom. So From here you walk a ride just for 20km few meter back to the first station is all what roundabout and you needgo right to the bridge over the highway. Thus, I would recommend just putting 'Utrecht' You do not want to go over the bridge but pass it on your sign - which is very clear and closethe left side. Once you are off You can walk until the highway entrance you will not need a board anyway any more, then you can talk and go left to people on the fuel stationspetrol station. [[User:Rozwal|Rozwal]]This spot can also be reached from metrostation 'De Tochten', however, a longer walk is necessary.
=== West towards The ferries from the Hook of Holland to England do not often carry trucks and therefore do not always offer free options. To get to the ferry terminal you can blackride the train to Hoek van Van Hollland Haven. You can also hitch there from one of the many service stations on the A20 with someone going on the ferry. After speaking to drivers on the A20, most trucks passing through there terminate at the port, which means no free ferry. That being said, you could hitch to where they terminate and continue to Calais, though I have not tried this;At the Hook Of Holland and ferries you can ride a ferry to [[EnglandHarwich]] ===''Information required'', England. It is hard if not impossible to get across without paying. On the ferry you can ask around to find someone driving to your destination, even walking around with a hitch sign, and possibly start a conversation
The spot is the motorway sliproad which has an additional lane for cars If you are someone who likes to safely pull over. As far as this type of spot goes it isn't bad, and hitch from petrol stations there's also possible shelter under the bridge. Traffic density is quite high but unfortunately so is the speed of the traffic. It's best to have a sign here because although traffic can only be going north or Shell south, there are plentiful exits on the way. == Public transportation ==About 99.99% of trams will have a ticket inspector. However for most of the journey they are too busy chatting city that feeds on to the conductor or enjoying the viewA16. Board It is directly to the tram at the rear and have 1.60 euro ready to pay. west of `''Oude Plantage, De Esch, Rotterdam, The inspector (wearing an ugly yellow Netherlands''` and black jacket with green, red is walking distance from Gerdesiaweg Rotterdam train station and purple stripes) will have to walk the length of the entire tram checking tickets before he/she reaches youfrom trams. Hopefully It has good visibility for you have reached and your potential rides and a slip road entering the station where your ride can stop by this time, if not just give the inspector the 1.60 euro for From the ticket as though station, head South until you were waiting to buy one from them. This is common practice.

If you take Take tram 23 from Rotterdam Central line 25 to the stop ''P+R Beverwaard'' in terminus "Barendrecht Opstelstoor Carnisselande". Walk 5 min. towards left when facing the river. There is a ramp to get on the Ijsselmonde suburbA29. Traffic is slowed down by traffic lights, there is some small forest along 's a bike trail parallel big emergency lane for the cars to the A16/E19 motorway where you could put up stop and there is also a tentpetrol station.
Most McDonalds restaurants in the city have wi-fi and, if you are discreet, you can use them without buying anything. The central library also has free wi-fi. Get a "guest pass" from the machine on the ground floor and log in with the details printed on it (the library connection, however, blocks everything but port 80 -- that is, except simple web browsing).[[trash:Rotterdam]]{{nomadwiki}}

'''Rotterdam''' (often abbreviated '''R'dam''', which makes for nicer signs) is a city in the [[Netherlands]] in the province of [[Zuid Holland]].
== Hitchhiking out ==
=== Northwest towards [[Delft]], [[Den Haag]] (A13) ===
Close to Blijdorp metro station, there is a fuel station Texaco at the beginning of A13, very easy to reach. If you get out of metro, follow the road S113 and pass by the park with a little lake, go under the bridge and you should already see the spot. It did not look busy but hitch-hiking with a sign can be probably also possible because cars are still relatively slow and there is a lot of shoulder.
=== East towards [[Utrecht]], [[Arnhem]], [[Apeldoorn]], [[Amersfoort]], [[Germany]] (A20) {{European Route Number|25}} ===
There is a great spot directly north of the central Station. It is about a 25 minute walk or take tram #25 in the direction of ''Schiebroek'' until the stop ''Schieweg'', which is just before the tram goes up onto a bridge over the motorway. Continue walking in the same direction on the right-hand side. During peak hours the traffic is very heavy and is slowed down by traffic lights feeding the traffic onto the motorway at intervals. There is a small parking area, so drivers have ample room to stop.
Another spot is on the A16. Take the Metro to ''Kralingse Zoom'' and walk south down the Kralingse Zoom and then left at the Abram van Rijckevorselweg until you get to a huge roundabout with an on-road. There's a lot of space for cars to stop and a lot of traffic, but getting on the other side of the roundabout can be a tad dangerous and it's probably technically speaking illegal to stand there. A sign is a must.
=== West towards Hoek van Holland and ferries to [[File:Rdamtowardseast.jpg|200px|thumb|left|The hitchhiking point for Utrecht and points further east.England]]===
=== South towards Dordrecht, Breda, Antwerp, Lille (A16) {{European Route Number|19}} ===
Take tram line 21 (direction De Esch) to the Woudestein stop. Once in Woudestein you need to follow the big road in front of you. Keep walking in the direction of the Erasmus university. If looking for rides at traffic lights is your thing, then there's plenty of opportunity on the way. But if not, keep on going until you reach the motorway which crosses in front of you. It's about a 15 minute walk.
The only place to stand now is next to the last traffic light. It is not ideal, but the previous spot described here is gone...
