(the dot on the map has to be on the other side of the road)Lots of place for them to stop but it's better to wait further north after road 1 and 73 merge, for going north.

I stood at the end of the busstop, giving cars space to pull over in the bus lane. Good spot because just after traffic lights so cars got time to see you and not going too fast yet. Was there quite early on Sunday morning and not much traffic which is why I waited so long.―hank

Good option to get out of the city you can get there by bus (27) or by walking (45 min from city center)Cars have space to stop but it's not the best so you need to be a bit lucky
