* A third spot is at 'Knooppunt Kleinpolderplein' at the A20 Walk a little bit with the bicycle path (50 mtr) and you can hitchhike just before the sign that shows you are entering the highway. It is a 10 minutes walk from ' Diergaarde Blijdorp' , the zoo. A sign is a must and probably also technically speaking illegal. I had to wait 30 min. for a car with the sign 'Utrecht' but a sign with 'Eerste Benzinestation' will do even better probably.
* As the best spots are often at a petrol station on the highway, one could also choose to take the train (direction Utrecht, Leewarder, Groningen, Zwolle, Uitgeest or Gouda Goverwelle) or metro (A or B direction Nesselande or Binnenhof) to Rotterdam Alexander. Here you can take bus 190 to Gouda and get off at Luxemburgsezoom. From here you walk a few meter back to the roundabout and you go right to the bridge over the highway. You do not want to go over the bridge but pass it on the left side. You can walk until the highway and go left to the petrol station. This spot can also be reached from metrostation 'de Tochten', however, a longer walk is necessary. You can find it by searching for 'BP de Vink'.
If you stand hitchhiking close to the petrol station the owner probably will ask you to go away. However, as this is public area, you are allowed to hitchhike there and they have no legal basis to send you away. Inside the petrol station shop they are allowed to send you away.
Most cars are heading to [[Utrecht]]. To get to [[Germany]] you could try your luck with a ''D'' sign or first try towards [[Arnhem]] for [[Cologne|Köln]] and [[Frankfurt am Main|Frankfurt]] from a service area (the border service areas are large with high traffic volume).
