Ask people stopped at the traffic lights. We got a ride heading south in 30 seconds from the 3rd car stopped at the lights―Falc

If you want a spot walkingdistance from city centre to go north. Took 5 minutes before a car gave me a lift, across the bridge.―Anonymous

I haven't used to place, but am a local and I'm sure it would work well.―Anonymous

This is a motorway on ramp - best place for leaving the city canter. I've used a few times, 5-15 mins max wait time.―Anonymous

Traffic lights and plenty of traffic. Some room to stop but not perfect. A lot of traffic is going South. It may be helpful sign saying "Bombay gas station"―Anonymous

small on-ramp with little parking bay. Fairly good spot given the proximity of the carpark. Good for heading north!―Anonymous

excellent spot on the on-ramp headed south- plenty of traffic passes this point, would recommend to everyone wishing to travel south outta aux- pays to have a sign―Anonymous

I wouldn't say it's the best spot (not so much room to stop), but if you're heading west (Piha in my case) I'd give it a try. It took me less than 10 minutes to get a lift.―Anonymous

Right at Greenlane Train station and the Ellerslie Sunday Car Market. Easy to stop at side street, and at a traffic light.―Anonymous

Not the best - Lots of traffic but waited for over an hour to get to Warkworth, very little space to park.―Anonymous

Nice wide shoulder, near a roundabout so the cars are going slow. Hitch from underneath the 100km speed sign. 6.5/10 visibility though, because drivers are just coming out of a turn. Still works great. Hard to reach though, requires some walking.―thefallingleaf

Probably better to go a bit down the road to the other spot, but roadworks forced me to find a different place to hitch a ride. Pretty decent area. Lots of cars, but two directions so a sign would make it easier for people to gauge when to stop. You're visible from the entire roundabout, two Kiwis came from the other way and turned around to give me a lift. Good a place as any, definitely gets you hitched―Anonymous

I stood at the split between the exit and the motorway on the concrete section, trying to head north. There is a fairly wide shoulder for cars to pull over. Cars were going fast. Although the police saw me, they didn’t do anything, even though it's still a motorway with "no pedestrian" signs. I can't really recommend, but the place "works".―Bursztyn

Tried to go North. Not much place to stop for cars. I went to next entrance on the North.―Bursztyn
