This spot is crazy. As soon as I put my thumb out, I heard the tires screeching.

A ride on PCH all the way to SF.

wide shoulder, good people watching - a bit sketchy to get to. traffic light a bit north of pin is helpful for slowing down traffic.

good vis, semi dangerous if on street (fast traffic going towards 101, slower turning towards 298. decent visibility especially with sign. lots of space for cars to pullover. did not try asking at chevron gas but prob wouldnt be too bad?

Seems to be the best option for getting out of SF up the 101 northbound; there's a traffic light to slow cars down and a little-used bus lay-by for them to pull over into, and anybody driving here is at least going over the bridge. Several cars going into Marin county stopped, though it took over an hour to get one that was going as far as Petaluma.

Hitch from here to Santa Rosa on a Friday afternoon, took very little time.

Apparently the Bus Stop is currently (october '15) closed off so no busses stop here, just a clear spot for cars to pull over.

Had signs for Santa Rosa and 101N, got three ride offers in the span of an hour and a half but they were short of Santa Rosa and would have been hard to hitch out of. Took the fourth ride all the way out to Santa Rosa! There's a pullout area right after the stoplight that's supposedly a bus stop but there weren't signs for buses or any buses stopping at all and a half dozen cops passed us without giving us trouble (:

Had a hard time leaving SF going south in the city so I did the exact thing the OP did here. Turned out pretty great, though I didn't get a ride in 10 mins. More like 30. One thing, however, there is a gas station right on Linda Mar Blvd where this spot is posted on the map. The attendants saw my signs and made sure to tell me that "hichhiking is illegal in Pacifica" and I didnt want to deal with them calling the cops, so I walked down a little more where there is this huge dirt turnout and plenty of room for cars to stop. Took a ride to Santa Cruz.

It's not a very big bus stop and is only really accessible from the right lane since there's usually a lot of traffic, but I was picked up after 13 minutes by a guy going to San Rafael.

Same. It's a good spot to go south. Right after the light there's a wide space to pull over. 30 minutes wait, ride to Half Moon Bay.
