Hitched here end of March 2017 11am. Waited before bus stop. Waited 20 min with sign saying "M4 Bristol"
Many cars which have to wait at traffic lights and can pull over in the lay-by.

If you can't exit Bristol .....go 15 miles North on bus to Stone and get into Michaelwood through the back

Junction 19 is BAD for going M5 North and M5 South . It is good for getting the 3 miles into Bristol on A 369.
Junction 20 Avonmouth is VERY BAD .

Heading to Bristol from here. Been waiting less than five min at 10am on a bus stop corner (A36). Pick up by a car straight to Bristol.

I waited somewhere on this road to go South to Bristol and it works well. There is a lot of trafic and it's the best place to go to Manchester or South !

Central Bristol Silvey Northbound Can be very bad spot to hitch . Sign is essential . In heavy traffic cars cannot stop safely at all.

This place is said to be the best hitchhiking spot to go to the West on the M4. Though, it is quite stressful. It is illegal, and every 15 minutes a police car passes by... Most of the cars ignore you... We only got a lift to Slough although we wanted to go to Bristol.
It doesn't seem to be a better hitchhiking place in the surroundings.

Good spot for long distance lifts to Bristol or Wales or London if you are going East

If you are going far north , get out at Sedgemoor services and NOT at Bristol junctions - Jn 22 /21/19/18/16 . Or get out at Michaelwood services before Gloucester

Don't give up there, it's not a bad place. As 2 guys we spent there no longer that 20min to catch a ride to Bristol (so probably not the easiest one).

On-ramp 2 Chepstow, M48 towards Bristol. Nice hard shoulder, but quite fast traffic. If you can't catch a ride you can always walk over the bridge on the footpath to the Severn View services.
