I stood by the traffic lights with a sign saying M74 south. It worked like a charm and almost immediately good a ride near Carlisle. The traffic lights stop for some time and especially during morning, there is quite a cue of cars.

Quite large gas station. But pretty bad for direction Glasgow. I think I got a mercy ride out of here, but I think you are much better when heading towards Edinburgh or Stirling.

This is a decent spot, but if you have the option to pick a gas station, I would opt for the larger one closer to Glasgow. Here many rental cars refuel for the airport.

Hitching South would have been faster. Hitched with sign at the exit of petrol station. Asking would have been faster but I'm awkward

Lot of people going in Edinburgh's direction, plus you have a service station nearby.

There is a petrol station around here ! a god place to head south... Take the bus from Glasgow city center (buchanan station) to uddingston and ask the driver to be dropped the closest as possible to the M74, the petrol station !!

Worst hitchhiking place in my experience. Waited for 4 hours for a ride.

Truck stop with plenty of trucks, cafeteria and sleeping possibilities. Got a ride to Birmingham after 1 hour.

You'll get south eventually, but there really isn't so much traffic here on week-ends.

One time I waited here 15 minutes for a ride, another time I waited 6 hours, on average its 2-3 hours. Really hit and miss at this place. Get there as early as possible if you can and hope to get a ride quickly.

I waited quite a long time here but ended up with a a straight ride to London on a Sunday, so it was quite alright

put on your backpack a paper with big black M74 and just walk from the centre along the London Rd. it works
