Hitchhiking in the Netherlands is quite possible, and legal in most places, though not on motorways. The basic idea is that when you're allowed to walk somewhere you can stand there for hitching too. Roads where it is not allowed to walk are indicated by: 1. * Round white sign with red edge depicting a pedestrian in the middle. 2. * Rectangular blue sign depicting a motorway. Cars are also not allowed to stop here. 3. * Square blue sign depicting a car. Cars are also not allowed to stop here. Useful tip: Free use of Internet PC's in every city library.
