The '''A2''' is a well-frequented [[highway|motorway]] in the [[Netherlands]].
The most effective way to travel as a hitchhiker using this motorway is to comply with the same, common on Western motorways practice of hopping from one [[rest area|service area]] to another. A2 unites several cities, notably [[Utrecht]], [[den Bosch|'s-Hertogenbosch]], [[Eindhoven]] and [[Sittard]]. In Maastricht, the A2 ends for a distance of about 2 km, to turn into A2 again from the south of Maastricht up to the border to [[Belgium]] where it is named [[A25 (Belgium)|A25]] and goes towards [[Liège|Liege]].
Since the A2 is the main north-south motorway within the Netherlands, hitchhiking is usually pretty straightforward.

* Petrol station "Haarrijn" between exit 5 and 6. Huge petrol station, and the best one to change cars between Amsterdam and Utrecht. Possible to camp at the west end of this huge area. ''Rating: {{good}}''
