Good spot, if you don't want to ask around. The traffic is bottlenecked here because the other routes from the roundabout are still under construction. Just be aware that there are a bunch of fuckers working on the nearby construction, so if a van filled with a bunch of laughing guys in high viz stops, don't get in. They will not bring you to York, but to a nearby construction site, and you will have to walk back here.―martih

This is a massive rest stop. I can highly recommend it. But when walking around the trucks, I had no luck (it took me about 45 minutes). After that, I moved to the exit with just thumbing with a sign, and it was pretty fast all the way to Leeds.―martih

Lots of coachs so hard to pick out drivers. Lots of people going south. But still good if going towards north―natecr

Either this is an excellent spot, it I just had excellent luck. But I waited five minutes, and the second car already stopped, and I got a ride all the way to Leeds. I had a sign saying "A1 - North".―mossenmoons

Must get the spot right, best bet is to stand at the exit of the public car park. Ask around truckies if you dont get lucky―Anonymous

BP garage. Cars can pull in just up the road, also near traffic lights. Good location for hitching north towards York.―Anonymous

Do not accept to be dropped here, it's illegal to hitchhike on the motorway. We got a ride with kind police officers―Anonymous

Just outside the terminal, next to the parking lot. The cars were still disembarking when I walked out. They come one by one, well spaced apart. Plenty of space for them to stop aswell.Probable even better to ask people onboard the night before, if that's your style.
