Past the roundabout in the direction of Cardiff there's a great shady wide spot where cars can pull over. Before we even got there someone saw us walking and pulled over and waited for us. Took us to carmarthen, was going farther north.rating: 5/5, wait: 0 min, ride: 40 km →

Cars going slowly from Narberth to the A40. A nice place to stop in a driveway. However, very little traffic, and because of a curve they cant see you from a distance. We were going to cardiff so after some 15 minutes we walked past the roundabout on a40 looking for better spot.rating: 3/5, wait: 15 min

We got dropped here after a misunderstanding and were stuck for 2h until a Lady in a Porsche rescued us and took us to the main Cardiff service station. Try not to end up here!―Anonymous, September 2017

Horrendous place to hitch from. Don't let them drop you here if you have any choice in the matter! The Coldra interchange can be fast, with really limited stopping places, and half of the drivers are already confused and intimidated by the weird new double-roundabout road layout. If you have to go from here, probably best to stand near the lights and hope someone takes pity on you. You could be in for a wait. Maybe also try going from Ringland Way (pink road to the south) but don't count on it - we had no luck there. Or if you're going West along the M4 (to Cardiff or further) maybe hitch into the centre of Newport and walk out to the Tredegar Park Roundabout (junction 28) where you can get M4 or A48 traffic. It's better than here.―Anonymous, January 2015

Bus stop just after the roundabout, dead easy to hitch to Cardiff from here. I waited less than 5 minutes.―Anonymous, January 2015

Good spot for rides to Cardiff, hard with direct ones but more efficient than the nearby roundabout.―Anonymous, December 2014

Bus stop just before the roundabout, direction Cardiff. After the roundabout the traffic can go there either with the highway or with a national road A48. We tried this option for around 20 minutes and, not being able to catch anything (low visibility, high speed), decided to use the national road, where we had more luck.―Anonymous, December 2014

There's a fairly good lay-by here where cars can stop, by a big road sign of the directions out of Cardiff.―Anonymous, August 2012
