Had been waiting outside petrol station for a couple hours before we realised that 90% of the traffic was entering not leaving the services. Switched spots and got offered a few lifts until eventually we got one into london within half an hour―ActingOutColours

good spot for getting onto a11 from m11, delivery drivers with sat navs often take this route rather than junction to south, wide road slow traffic after r'bout―Anonymous

The lanes are really wide, no heavy traffic, so cars can stop with no risk.―Kub

Well you are hitchhiking behind the highway sign so not a good position. But a good way to get to Cambridge and on.―Anonymous

Cars are driving up to M11, loads of them, but really fast, eventhough some have to stop a traffic light quarter a mile before the little parking area. Parking Area is long enough for cars to slow down, though. Still had to wait a long time.―Anonymous

Walked away from the airport, seeking the run up to M11 North, but this was the farthest I could get. Cars are driving fast, and are coming around the corner, they can stop on the green next to the road, but it's not as intuitive as for example a bus stop. Took a decent time to get a ride.―Anonymous

There is a little space for vehicles to stop just before it begins on the motorway.―Anonymous

I've hitchhiked from the services at Stansted Airport twice, both times waiting about 20 minutes, but had cars apologizing that they were going the wrong direction. Having a sign is an absolute must. (The staff at the restaurants are very friendly and gave me cardboard and wished me luck) The truckers I spoke to were very kind and helped me out by taking me all the way to Leicester, but you can really get most places from here. The actual exit isn't that great of a spot so I suggest going to the gas station exit where there's plenty of room to stop and you're very visible to drivers leaving and it's also opposite the trucker parking.―Anonymous

We were trying to hitchhike, no one was stopping and a guy called us a cab to Cambridge and payed for it (God bless him) I guess hitchhiking is dead in 2023.―Anonymous
