== Hitchhiking out ==
Motorway [[A28 (Netherlands)|A28]] runs right through town. It has four ramps in Zwolle, of which two are useful for hitching; '''19''' and '''20'''. Use ramp 19 (Zwolle-centrum) for both north and southbound hitchhiking; and ramp 20 (Zwolle-noord) for northbound hitchhiking.  === North towards [[Leeuwarden]], [[Groningen]] === On-ramp '''19''' is within walking distance (~1km) of the city centre. Get to the ''Pannekoekendijk'' and walk in northern direction until the roundabout. Turn left here on the ''Burgemeester Roelenweg''. After 400m the on-ramp is on your right. It has a nice hard shoulder with plenty of space for cars to stop. On-ramp '''20''' is just as good as '''19''', but has less traffic and is further away from the city centre. If you need to go towards Leeuwarden, try to get a ride at least to [[Meppel]] on the [[A32 (Netherlands)|A32]]. On the other hand, if you Groningen is your destination, try to get a ride to [[Hoogeveen]]. Otherwise, get out at the service station ''Dekkersland'' and change cars. === South towards [[Amersfoort]], [[Utrecht]] or [[Apeldoorn]], [[Arnhem]] === Walk to on-ramp '''19''' via ''Pannekoekendijk'' and then ''Katerdijk'' in western direction. Go under the overpass and find the on-ramp on your left side. The highway splits very soon after this on-ramp, so make sure to get a ride in the good direction. The '''A28''' takes you towards Amersfoort, Utrecht and [[Amsterdam]], the [[A50 (Netherlands)|A50]] to Apeldoorn and Arnhem. === Other useful info === Ramp 21 ([[Ommen]]) is inconviniently located in an industrial estate on the north side of town, but does get a fair amount of traffic from the surrounding towns, and ramp 18 (Zwolle-zuid) is basically just a big roundabout with no good place to stop, at least not there where the traffic isn't going at least 80 km/h. The on-ramp in the direction of Leeuwarden does have a hard shoulder, but traffic is still fast here so it might be hard to stop cars.
