Agreeing with LostFrench, not a good spot. Cars are acceleration after the light and going too fast for this on-ramp. After 45, highway patrol showed up and ask me to hitch at the lights bc this location was too dangerous (no ID check).Finally got a ride from two sisters on their way to running errands in Isla Vista. A first time for them, fun ride.

Carpinteria seems like a spot filled with good people.Stopped at a donut shop for breakfast, they offered me my order and someone gave me $10.
Weird place to hitch at first, but actually the shoulder is big enough and drivers see you early enough and drive slow due to road shape.
Got a ride from Luis on his way to visit his family. Sweet Mexican man, he gave me $10 at the end of the ride.
You can stop at the Seal Sanctuary viewpoint for a quick break.

DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE TO BE DROPPED FAR FROM AN INTERSTATE IN LA AREAI did this, took me more than 2 hours of buses to get back to an on-ramp.
Not much traffic there, but okay spot.
Played it with a sign assessing I'm a foreigner.
Adam gave me a ride all across the city and even further. We stopped at his place, offered me some shrooms.
He had a work mission up in the valley but offered to drop me afterward on the coast where I would keep going on my journey.
Made a new friend.

Looked liked a good spot with great shoulder, but no one would stop, a nightmare. Probably due to the location inside the city.Finally accepted a first ride after such a long waiting to go to an on-ramp who seemed to have more potential.
