Liftershalte
A liftershalte or liftplaats (in the Dutch language) is a spot (halte means stop, like in bushalte), marked by an official sign, where a hitchhiker (lifter) can easily be picked up by car drivers. In the Netherlands these spots can be found at the following places (in 2013):
Amsterdam: at the Prins Bernhardplein before NS Station Amsterdam Amstel (pass the bus stop), road that leads to the ramp of the S112 of the A10. (direction A1 and A2).
Den Haag: next to the Malieveld, at the beginning of the A12 (direction Utrecht). Officially doesn't exist anymore: sign has gone. But location is still extremely good for hitchhiking.
Groningen: at the Emmaviaduct, the road to the A28, 200 meter westwards of the Centraal Station (richting Assen).
Nijmegen: at the Graafseweg (Venlo and 's-Hertogenbosch) and at the verkeersplein near the Waalbrug {direction Arnhem}. The first liftershalte is often used as a parking spot.
Utrecht ramp of the Waterlinieweg near De Galgewaard stadium (northwards A27 and A28 and in southwards A12, A2 and A27).
