drivers going to galway rarely pull into kinnegad rest stop so dont bother asking there or at this roundabout for lifts - if u end up here otw to galway better to find a ride on the m4 to mullingar or edgeworthstown and then go to athlone, see more of the nice countryside and usually fast getting a ride to galway from athlonerating: 1/5, wait: 120 min 💬+🪧, ride: 15 km ↙

if trying to get a ride to galway probably better to start closer to m50, near liffey valley sc, but for what this spot is worth good visibility and room to pull over etc, just not a lot of cars going long distance.rating: 3/5, wait: 20 min 🪧, ride: 55 km ←

Easy to hitch to Clifden. Maybe a little bit harder for the way to Galway but lots of space for traffic to stop. Plenty of traffic as well for a rural area.―Anonymous, September 2018

A bit long to go there from the city center. But I really think this is the best place to Galway.―Scry, July 2016

Good spot to reach Clifden and Galway. It's a good idea to wait tourists getting out from Inishbofin's ferry, more chances to get a lift ! Waiting time : 20min―Anonymous, June 2016

Waiting time : 15min & 1h45Point de stop correct, juste avant un arrt de bus, moyen d'attraper les vhicules sortants du centre commercial qui n'ont pas encore acclr. Temps d'attente : 15min & 1h45

The motorway junction was super busy one afternoon so I decided to walk up to here. Got a lift all the way to Galway pretty quickly!No hard shoulder, but I stood in front of a wide entrance...

Got a ride all the way to Galway from here! Visibility is not great as there is a hill in the way, but cars are going slowly as they turn left from the R344 (most cars will go in the Galway direction).―Anonymous, June 2016

Busy at the time (Bank Holiday afternoon). Got lift within 20m. This is the road most people in Letterfrack take for getting to Galway.―Anonymous, June 2016

Towards Galway/Sligo/Mayo. Stood by sliplane. Took a while, but might have been bad luck. Maybe better to walk up R407 a little...―Anonymous, June 2016

Great place to go to either Limerick city, M18 Ennis/Galway or M7 Dublin. A sign might help because drivers might be going in any one of the 3 directions. Its almost the last stop before the motorway starts.―Darach, September 2015

A 10 min walk out from town but it is worth it, hard shoulder for cars to stop. Toward Limerick, Galway.―Anonymous, September 2014
