Amazing spot! I was going to Glasgow and got a lift with a family in no time. Can only recommend it.―Larixium

Not a great spot, but there's nothing better nearby. I was standing in front of the traffic lights. It's tricky to get a ride because the light stays red for only about 30 seconds. Usually, you have even less time, and all the communication and getting your stuff into the car needs to happen within that short window, so be prepared to move quickly.About a 10-minute drive north, there's an excellent parking area/gas station where it's easy to get a ride in almost any direction, so just try to get there.

Not the best place. Cars have to stop on the hard shoulder after the motorway sign which is probably illegal. It worked anyway.―Anonymous
