===West towards [[Antwerp]] or [[Leuven]]===
Take the free(!) bus H1 in the direction of "Spalbeek" or "Kermt", you can take this bus at various places in Hasselt, including the trainstationtrain-station. Get out at the busstop "Kuringen - Stevoortse Kiezel", right after the bridge and the highway entrance towards Antwerpen/Leuven and walk back the 100 meters to the entrance.It takes the bus about ten minutes from the trainstation train-station to get there. It is probably the best hitchhiking spot in this direction, since the cars don't drive fast and there's a place where they can easily stop without blocking the traffic. Waiting times are on average 5 to 10 minutes.
