I stood at the motorway entrence and after not too long wait I got a ride to the Lymn service station with a Truck, I slept next to that station and on next day I went with my driver to one of the last service stations before Scotland. Nice spot for heading north―Autostopeks

It didn't work the best for me. After an hour I got an offer to go to London (first of 3 in total in that direction) but as I was going north towards Scotland I declined it. After 2 hours I finally got a ride till first service station on M5 but it worked bad for north direction probably because of closer of M5 junction ahead and it's likely that everyone who was going north from Bristol wasn't even driving through this place. According to the sign on this junction road will remain closed till November 5 2026 so it might be wise to just search for different spot if you are planning to go up north from Bristol before that date―Autostopeks

Severn View Services, M48 towards Bristol (M4) / Birmingham (M5).Lots of traffic for Bristol, less traffic for Birmingham and almost none towards London.

Good spot towards Chepstow on the A466. Just in front of Lidl. Cars going slow and visability good.―Anonymous

On-ramp 2 Chepstow, M48 towards Bristol. Nice hard shoulder, but quite fast traffic. If you can't catch a ride you can always walk over the bridge on the footpath to the Severn View services.―Anonymous

If you're hitching the A40, avoid having to stand in Monmouth if you possibly can. The road layout makes no sense - a dual carriageway with almost nowhere for cars to stop. If you have to go from Monmouth though, this is the only place I've had any luck. The southbound route is a little easier as the small exit for Old Dixton Road is pretty quiet and acts as a pull-in for cars. Northbound looks hard - not done this direction myself as I now avoid Monmouth like the plague.―Anonymous
