* Petrol station "Het Anker" between exits 46 and 47. This is the service area which you should use in case the driver is not going to Maastricht, but to one of the other cities in the southernmost part of the Netherlands, or if the driver is heading for Aachen or beyond in Germany. It is quite easy to find a driver to Maastricht. About 20% of the drivers actually go there, while most go towards Geleen, Heerlen, Kerkrade etc. French and Luxembourgian cars are extremely likely to go through Maastricht from here. ''Rating: {{average}}/{{good}}''
* Petrol station "Vossedal" between exits 49 and 50. This one is small, but since Maastricht is only 8 kilometers further on, one normally finds a ride there in no time. ''Rating: {{good}} (for Maastricht) and {{bad}}/{{average}} (for any place beyond Maastricht)''
* Petrol station "Knuvelkes" between exit 57 and 58. This one is already south of Maastricht. Alas, it is not frequented very much, because all driver drivers go into Belgium, and rather leave this one aside, for the petrol in Belgium is a bit cheaper. Still it is possible to find rides to Liege/Luxembourg or towards Charleroi. ''Rating: bad/average''
* Parking area on the border. On this former customs area you will find a snack bar, where some people stop on their way to the south. France, for example. ''Rating: {{bad}}/{{average}}''
=== Hitchhiking A2 [[Amsterdam]] direction [[Maastricht]] using ramps ===
If an on ramp is not listed, it does not mean it is good or bad. However, it is likely not to be particularly good.
* Utrechtsebrug, bridge just before the beginning of the motorway. Amsterdam. This is a classic starting point to hitchhike, THE '''the''' spot for hitchhiking in the '60s and '70s. Today it does not look too good there, but one may still ask for rides at the traffic lights just before the bridge. It is a pity for hitchhikers that there is a barrier between the road and the cycling lane onto the brdigebridge. Autostopguide to Europe recommends hitchhiking after the bridge, between the first (inofficialunofficial) exit and entry lanes, though cars are speeding there yet at 80 kmh. ''Rating: quite bad''
* Entrance 3. Abcoude. Dangerous! ''Rating: bad''
* Entrance 5. Breukelen. Reasonable. Easy to get to the next petrol station. ''Rating: bad/average''
