== Hitchhiking out ==
=== South towards [[Maastricht]], [[Aachen]], southwest south-west towards [[Antwerpen|Antwerp]], east to [[Venlo]] ===There is a petrol station and a roundabout named "Floraplein" one kilometer north of the motorway-junction A2 x A67 (junction "Knooppunt Leenderheide"). There is a bus stop where people can easily stop just by this petrol station. This is a reknown well known spot for hitchhiking, which was very popular in the times when Dutch students still had to pay for public transport. You can get here by taking the bus from the Central Train Station. You have two choices - bus 173 to Floraplein or bus 7 to Korianderstrasse.
An alternative for "Floraplein" is walking 2 km in south west direction. There are two entrances (towards Antwerpen, and Venlo) to the A67/A2 next to the "Van der Valk Hotel Eindhoven", at the Aalsterweg. Due to traffic lights, people clearly see you, and can stop easily.
=== South towards [[Maastricht]], east towards [[Venlo]], southwest towards [[Antwerpen|Antwerp]] ===
A2 access lane 31 "Veldhoven" (A2 x Noord-Brabantlaan). Several modern buses per hour to Veldhoven. Get out at the bus stop just before the motorway. Use a sign on the onramp. Or ask at the traffic lights on the side of Mc DonaldMcDonald's (situation Feburary 2009). Do not confuse with A2 access lane 32 "Veldhoven-Zuid", this one is quite unsuitable in both directions.
=== North towards [[Nijmegen]] ===
There is a Shell petrol station on the ''J.F. Kennedylaan''. Go there to find a lift to the [[A50 (Netherlands)|A50]]. Hitchhiking on the road itself is not allowed because of the status of the road, although you will might get away. The road has an emergency lane with traffic limited to 70 kmhkm/h. You may as well stand on the merging lane of the petrol station.
=== From the [[airport]] ===
When you arrive at the airport, just follow the signs to the motorway, you'll reach it in 15 Minutes. The airport traffic merges here with the traffic from the city, so it's easy to get a ride, but you will need a sign. According to Fverhart due to the motorway works this A2 access lane 30 "Eindhoven Airport" is not suitable anymore any more to the north, to the south unknown. Alternative, walk further on the Anthony Fokkerweg until a small side-road and hitchhike there, or walk further to the second road crossing after the motorway. There is a bus stop, use sign. Or in stead walk towards the southeast south-east for three kilometers kilometres to A2 access lane 31 "Veldhoven". Or try to find a ride on the parking area of the airport.
