Introduction
In the Netherlands the density of roads and villages makes it a bit
tricky to choose a good initiail point for departure to the destination
you wish for by hitchhiking. There is not only a lot of local, urban
traffic, but many people work or have friends in the next town, just
20 kms further. Even on motorways (A-roads) the percentage of local
and regional traffic is high. It is illegal to hitchhike on motorways
and junctions. Nearly always two motorways that cross eachother are
junctions without a legal possibility to stop. On non-motorways (N-roads)
the roadsides are often not very suitable for drivers to stop. On
suitable places it takes usually 2 - 20 minutes to catch a motorstop
to destinations within 50 kms. My personal average waiting time is
about 15 minutes. Everytime it is difficult to caculate the time of
travel, but definitely some routes are way more easy to hitchhike
than other part. Like in surrounding countries an efficient way to
hitchhike is to ask around at petrol stations and service stations
along the motorway. In the past Holland was way better to catch stops,
but as students travel for free by bus and train, drivers are less
prepared to take them (you'd better catch the bus, boy / girl!).
In
the Netherlands (relatively) good places for catching a motorstop
are:
 |
-
Official hitch-hiking sites found in most university cities.
Some drivers look especially well for waiting people at these
places!
- Motorway onramps. Outside cities there usually is only
little traffic, which causes that you have to wait long. Within
cities quite some ramps do not have an additional strip of asphalt
free op cars, which is usually essential for save hitchhiking.
- Petrol stations on motorways and national roads, preferably
bigger fuel stations combined with a restaurant. If you ask
drivers where they go and if they could take you along, you will
travel at high speed! Fuel stations are used especially by
long distance travellers, so they allow you to travel farther
and faster!
- Bus stops and parking strips adjacent to main roads (stand
at the beginning of the strip!)
- Cycling paths adjacent to main roads without barriers
to stop. |
To hitchhike pay attention to:
- write
your destination on a piece of cardboard. The best
cardboard is white, while you write big, black letters. If the name
is long, you may abbreviate it, such as A'dam for Amsterdam. If there
are major cities between you and your destination, it is usually wise
to make more than one cardboard. You start hitchhiking to the city
you pass by first or get to a petrol station. To move further fluidly
it is best to have a good notion where you can easily and effectively
hitchhike further on the middle of your way. Think also of writing
on your cardboard the name of the province, a road number or just
"s.v.p.", a common abbreviation in Holland which means "please".
That works fine. Click
here to download a set of 42 prepared cardboards (zipped PDF to be
printed A3 size).
- Hitchhiking is most quick alone or as a group of two existing
of a boy and a girl or two girls. What's more, with two it gives more
pleasure for most people.
- Use public transport to get to your initial hitchhiking spot
if walking is too far. Normally this should take no more than 1,20
Euro. If you're close to your destination do likewise.
- Buy a detailed map of the Netherlands with road numbers,
petrol stations, all on- and off-ramps and the location of railway
stations (in case you wish to go further by train for a part of the
travel). Keep it in your hand, not in your bag. An affordable and
very clear map is the "Nederland Routiq Maxi Falk" map at
1:200.000 (about 8 Euro). At the ANWB-stores in the major cities you
can get a free map of the Netherlands (just ask other customers to
help you, since these maps are free for members of the ANWB, the Dutch
motorists association).
- Be at least as polite as the driver.
- When you have your ride speak about the specific place you and
your driver will part. On motorways the optimal place is a motorway
petrol station, where you can acquire a further ride. Many drivers
are prepared to make a few - meaning two or three - more kilometers
on the motorway if it gets you to a great spot to hitchhike further.
Of course, they are more prepared to do so, if they are pleased by
you.
I
report some places, some I know personally, others I do not know personally.
Some spots were recommended by other hitchhikers and specialists of
Dutch roads. In Dutch cities look for city maps on bus stops and
petrol stations (especially Esso) to get around to a hitching
spot!

Thanks
A great number of good hitchhiking spots was contributed by other
hitchhikers. For doing so, I would like to thank most of all Jochem
Lesparre (Delft), who gave valuable information about suitable sites
in the west of the Netherlands ("Randstad Holland"), as well in
other regions. Other hints have been received from Jelke Bosma (Meppel),
Ewout Fernhout (Zutphen), Tsjeard Hofstra (Leeuwarden), Willem van
Oosten (Utrecht), Ralf Platschowski (Enschede), Jurgen Siemonsma
(Groningen), Wilmar Visschers (Delft), René Walhout (Purmerend),
Reinoud Wiers (Leiden) and some more people. Additional hitchhiking
spots were located using the Google Maps zoom functionality. The
systematics are based to some extent on the comprehensive Autostopguide
to Europe (www.autostopguide.com), which was written by Dan Toner
during the years 1996-2006. Great thanks and respect for that effort!
