__NOTOC____TOC__ {{}}== Hitchhiking in ==Hitchhicking in is not that easy caused by a ring of highways going around Düsseldorf without many service stations and the ones that exist are not that frequented. However it is possible, of course.  ===From North===Best possibility is at the end of {{Ade|52}} at the big "ARAG" building. Several options for public transport. Minus is that this is only for drivers going directly to Düsseldorf.If your driver just wants to pass Düsseldorf by the {{Ade|44}} in direction to [[Mönchengladbach]], [[Krefeld]] or the Netherlands tell him to drop you off at the Düsseldorf Iternational Airport. There is a lot of public transport like Busses, S-Bahn an RegionalExpress towards the city. Beside that you could try to hitchhike from the parking spots at the "Departure". Lots of slow cars with empty trunks and backseats.  ===From East===If you are on the {{Ade|46}} coming from Wuppertal the best opportunity is the Exit "Düsseldorf -Wersten". There is public transport and within minutes you are at the main station or in the city centre. Plus your driver can get back on the highway pretty easy and fast.  ===From South===Best opportunities on the {{Ade|3}}. Last option is the service station called "Ohligser Heide". You have to get a lift to {{Ade|46}} eastwards and then same as above: Exit "Düsseldorf-Wersten".  ===From West===If your driver wants to Neuss you could take it and take the public transport to Düsseldorf. Just make sure he will drop you off near the main station.  If your driver want to pass in direction to [[Wuppertal]], [[Dortmund]], or even [[Frankfurt am Main]] they might take the {{Ade|46}} and than is is the exit "Düsseldorf-Wersten", again. If they want to go towards north-east to [[Essen]] or [[Bochum]] they will take the {{Ade|44}} an is possible to get out at the airport as mentioned above.
