If Note if you're hitchhiking '''North''' you'd do best near the Motorway Entrance, but not too close are headed to itPicton, because the traffic entering the motorways moves quickly. There and your ride is going toward Hanmer Springs you are traffic lights near the entrance, which aid in slowing down cars, and should allow drivers best to get a better view of hitchhikers. Get yourself (by city bus or other means) to Belfast which is the suburb on the Main North Road immediately before the start of the motorway. Alternatively take a bus right out to Woodend on SH1 and hitch from the north end of town within the 50km/hour zoneat Amberley.
To get to Belfast take either bus 16 or the 'Northern Star' from the Bus Exchange.

== Hitchhiking out ==
=== North ===toward Kaikoura, Picton, The West Coast, or Nelson. Take a Metro bus to Woodend. http://www.metroinfo.co.nz/journeyplanner/index.html?region=christchurch#/journey_plans/new If it is a nice day (not too hot or raining) the best spot is directly opposite Woodend Methodist Church. In case of hot or wet weather hitch from the St Barnabas Anglican Church - there is a small roof structure that can provide sun or rain shelter.
