Had been waiting outside petrol station for a couple hours before we realised that 90% of the traffic was entering not leaving the services. Switched spots and got offered a few lifts until eventually we got one into london within half an hour―ActingOutColours

The lanes are really wide, no heavy traffic, so cars can stop with no risk.―Kub

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

You're not allowed to hitch on motorways (M), but I was let out on the merging section here. Got picked up by a truck driver who didn't want me to get into trouble with police. So not recommended at all.―Anonymous

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.―Anonymous

Walked away from the airport, seeking the run up to M11 North, but this was the farthest I could get. Cars are driving fast, and are coming around the corner, they can stop on the green next to the road, but it's not as intuitive as for example a bus stop. Took a decent time to get a ride.―Anonymous

Eventhough, there is a McDonald's here, and a gas station, it took me two hours, on a late wednesday morning to get a ride north on the A10. Cars a are driving by fast, and there is loads of them. Technically conditions should be really good, but I had a tough time here.―Anonymous

Stood there, trying to go north on the A10. There is no space for cars to stop, so I was hoping for the driver to turn into Vancouver Road, which eventually worked out. I did not see him, but he honked for me. He did have to make a u-turn for me, sth, which will decrease your chances. Not the best spot, took a decent time of waiting.―Anonymous

Walked here from Epping. Pretty decent spot but there are little walkways in the roundabout.―Anonymous

There is a little space for vehicles to stop just before it begins on the motorway.―Anonymous

I've hitchhiked from the services at Stansted Airport twice, both times waiting about 20 minutes, but had cars apologizing that they were going the wrong direction. Having a sign is an absolute must. (The staff at the restaurants are very friendly and gave me cardboard and wished me luck) The truckers I spoke to were very kind and helped me out by taking me all the way to Leicester, but you can really get most places from here. The actual exit isn't that great of a spot so I suggest going to the gas station exit where there's plenty of room to stop and you're very visible to drivers leaving and it's also opposite the trucker parking.―Anonymous

Very frequent offers for lifts, but all heading in the wrong direction (apparently) up North - we were trying to head South. Standing on this point you can ask all the customers coming out the drive through with their windows down so easy to talk. to everyone. Eventually got a lift along the M25 from someone taking pity on us, while he was parked eating his lunch.―louie

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.―louie
