Great spot. Got ride to Penrith on my way to Scotland. Was on a place closer to the exit than on the map.―Larixium

So I didn’t get any car but you can try to sign, they is a road with a bus stop.The gas station doesn’t have a lot of frequence and it’s moesly truck. Nobidy were going north to M6 (maybe I was unlucky).
You can come by bus from Preston center easily.

Good spot for going to Liverpool or Manchester (except when there's a football crowd), but you'll be hard pressed finding anything going further south.―Anonymous

Slip road to Motorway heading to M6; no place for drivers to pull over.Slow traffic can see you. Best stand on the roundabout so cars can stop at the entrance to the slip road.

Entrance to slip road from roundabout. Best for M6 South or M65 East.Place for cars to stop on the hard shoulder.
A sign is required.

I was quite lucky to find a ride which took me all the was to Lancaster. However it's a good spot with lots of space for cars to see you and then stop. Not very busy though. I was there on a Monday morning at about 10:30―Elv
