Direction: M5 south (Bristol). Here you get both trafic from the gas station and the road. Plenty of space to stop. A gold spot.

Cars can stop, going out to M5 to South and M6 to North, but in 2010 march we were standing here for 3 hours in the rain without luck.

The original Spaghetti junction - never tried it myself, but I can image it'd be average to bad, although in walking distance from Birmingham city center and also safely reachable on foot. Cars have space to pull over, go past quite quckly in two lanes, though. Also there's quite a lot of police going past.

Motorway services. Good for getting a ride in any direction (there is a northbound and southbound side, and a bridge connecting them).

It's ok. Guy who was leaving gas station picked me up to Bromsgrove. I waited something about 20 minutes at the early evening.

Got dropped off here begin of April. Got another ride at 3pm within 5min with my sign saying "M6 North". Waited after the petrol station. But you can even ask people at parking area.
Bridge gives you even the oportunity to go to M1 if you want to hitchhike north.

For some reason or other the Midlands have some of the worst services in the country. The Spaghetti junction you shouldn't use, because you will never get a lift. If your heading towards manchester, try to get a train or bus to Stafford, and hitch from there, the next few service areas Northbound are horrific for rides Northbound, you could end up in one of these old fashioned services for over 24 hours...train / bus stafford, believe me, it will take the strain of hitch hiking off you, north stafford and you wont have problems going north,
