So But once you're at the service centre, it's so easy to get a ride:)http://goo.gl/maps/MTUl

Around Auckland there are a lot of highways. The multilane roads on which cyclists and pedestrians are excluded are called motorways. The main highway, State Highway 1, is a motorway as it passes through the city and suburbs. It is possible to get rides from on ramps that have a suitable berm for the vehicles to stop. Not all on ramps allow for this. Alternatively, you should get to the "service centre" dedicated to motorway traffic where you can find rides easily. It is between the Papakura and Drury motorway off ramps.
To get to service centre, get a train to papakura and then outside papkura train station you can get a bus to take you down great south road i think #475 bus which costs $2. just get off anywhere around #490 great south rd. If you walk it, it takes about 30-40minutes. once you are near #490ish there is a st called parkhaven on your right. walk down park haven rd and follow it as it bends left. at the end of parkhaven there is a grassy area. look to your right at the wood fence next to the last house. jump There should be a fairly large hole in the wooden fence or (climbthrough the hole if its still there) and which brings you are now in onto the grounds of the service centrearea. However, on 20 the 20th May 2013 the hole was still in the fence, but there's was a house being built on the grassy area, smack-bang in front of the hole. It should still be possible to use the hole for a while, but an alternative route to the service centre may need to be sought in the future.
