=== West towards [[Haarlem]], [[Leiden]], [[Den Haag]], [[Delft]] === There is an official liftplaats about 100 meters south of metro station Sloterdijk on Haarlemmerweg. Here you will find a lot of traffic going straight to Haarlem, and possibly even cars going to Leiden, and further to Delft and Den Haag. Though, most cars going there will use the Ring A10 and then the A4 to Den Haag. ===North towards [[Alkmaar]], [[Zaandam]]=== There is an A10 on-ramp near Sloterdijk station. Exit the station and go 200m east on ''Hatostraat'', 250m north on ''La Guardiaweg'' and 250m east on ''Basisweg'' and then cross over to the on-ramp.
Another ramp is a little way up the street from the last. Get there from the last by continuing further down ''Basisweg'' (which becomes ''Transformatorweg'' until ''Kabelweg''). Follow this north past s101 (''Nieuwe Hemweg''). The ramp is off of ''Vlothavenweg''.

There are trainsis a liftplaats, trams a spot specifically for hitchhiking, at the Gooiseweg next to the Prins Bernhardplein situated before NS Station Amsterdam Amstel (12pass the bus stop). This road leads to the ramp of the S112 of the A10, the motorway around Amsterdam (direction A1 and A2. This is currently being turned into a third lane and is completely unusually for hitching a ride. A little further on that road, which is called Gooiseweg,51) and metros behind the bend you will find a BP petrol-station where you can talk to Amstel drivers, often a better way for getting a ride. The petrol station is easily accessible from most other stations in Amsterdamthe backstreets, and it is very easy to hail a ride from the side of the road immediately after the petrol station.
