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 .

Central Bristol Silvey Northbound Can be very bad spot to hitch . Sign is essential . In heavy traffic cars cannot stop safely at all.―Colinc, June 2014

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.

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).―Kub, April 2013

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.―Anonymous, February 2013
