Direction south to the M5: there is no Shoulder for a car to stop and a dense traffic, so the place is a bit harsh but manageable in the right condition

There is a little snack bar along the road with possibility to talk to people or the space for a potential car to pull aside (there is also a bus stop between that spot and the roundabout but the visibility is low)

Large lay by in both directions as soon as the A361 starts after motorway. Easy pick up towards N.Devon and next to Tiverton Parkway station.

Junction 25 is horrible : very cramped and difficult for cars to stop. dense traffic from 7 am to 7 pm . best avoided

Great for N.Devon (A361) > M5 North. if heading south use a sign.

Great for M5 North or South to N.Devon (A361). Remember to stop at J27, and walk to the pull in, which is close.

If you are going far north , get out at Sedgemoor services and NOT at Bristol junctions - Jn 22 /21/19/18/16 . Or get out at Michaelwood services before Gloucester

Best to have a sign indicating EITHER Plymouth (A38) or Bude / Okehampton (A30) and do NOT accept a lift to Exeter services unless you want Exeter

Best to ask parked cars at the service station. Lots of cars heading south in summer but if you are lucky there are some heading north.
