Waited for just over 2 hours for a lift on a Friday morning, trying two different signs - M11s / SOUTH. 2 cars stopped before but were heading the wrong way. Good flow of traffic but very few heading onto the M11 southbound, only 1 car every 30s took the junction. People tend to use J12 higher up to leave Cambridge, although harder to find somewhere to stand.

rating: 2/5, wait: 130 min, ride: 58 km ↓

Pretty decent spot for heading south out of Hamilton, we only got a lift to Cambridge but I'm sure you can get a lift much further out to Taupō or Rotorua. Plenty of space for cars to pull over and the traffic isn't too fast.

We were trying to hitchhike, no one was stopping and a guy called us a cab to Cambridge and payed for it (God bless him) I guess hitchhiking is dead in 2023.

Well you are hitchhiking behind the highway sign so not a good position. But a good way to get to Cambridge and on.

Never hitched from this spot before, but loads of traffic heading to London/Cambridge, and a good layby to pull in.

Direction Cambridge. Great spot - there's a long enough parking space for the cars to pull aside. They are slowed down by the junction before, so more time to decide. Only downside is it's still London so cars might not go far.

Direction Cambridge. Not perfect, but at least there are 2 lanes, so if somebody stops, he doesn't block the road. Got ride in 5 mins.

Direction Cambridge, got ride in 5 mins. There's a bus stop, so a carr which has stopped doesn't block the road

I stood few meters back on the corner of petrol station so that cars came out on my right and passed by (slowed down) on my left. Went to St Albans (west) (had my sign) and nobody seemed to go there - got picked up by a guy who had just come from there and was kind enough to make a big detour. However I saw many drivers pointing east and many of the drivers questioned in the petrol station before that mentioned Cambridge. So that direction might be much luckier.

Heading East along the A14 towards cambridge- there is space for a vehicle to stop and its straight after the roundabout so the traffic isn't too fast.
BUT traffic can be VERY heavy on this road, so it may be difficult to get a lift at rush hour.

Lay-by bus stop before traffic lights with covered shelter. Nearly all traffic heading out of Cambridge city center heading south passes here. Local shops and petrol station just to the north, supermarket just to the south.

I've hitched east from here or nearby several times over the years.A local bus to Cambridge Road near Warrane and a short walk to get here. It's not great but has shoulder and all the Hobart-East traffic on it.

For direction OUT from King's Lynn, this is the ultimate place. Its normally very easy to get a ride within about 15 minutes when alone, although my one time trying with my brother failed miserably. Have a sign for Cambridge, or Ely, or even London. It is situated just on the beginning of the A10, there is a very nice lay-by for anyone to pull into.
