Even worse is the fact, that there are almost no service areas or gas stations directly at the motorway, which means, no good places to get dropped of, and no good places to start.
==Transiting==
Long distance traffic usually tries to drive round this area, and this is what you should try, when transiting, if possible.
When coming from, the south, heading to north or east, you should take the A1 until ''Kamener Kreuz'', and then follow the A1 for north or transfer to the A2 for east. Close before ''Kamener Kreuz'', there is one of the few service areas (''Lichtendorf''), which is great to get a ride in direction of [[Bremen]], [[Hamburg]], [[Hannover]] and , [[Berlin]] (but also for and [[Cologne]]).
When coming from the East (on the A2) and having a ride that goes to somewhere into the Ruhr Area, it's recommended to get dropped at ''Rhynern'', a big service area close before the Ruhr Area. From there you can get a ride to south (direction [[Cologne]]), or maybe to the [[Netherlands]].
When coming from the West, it will be quite difficult to cross the Area. A good place could be the service area ''Ohligser Heide'', close to [[Düsseldorf]], which is difficult to reach by hitching, but easy to reach by public transport.
