If you're hitchhiking '''North''' you'd do best near the Motorway Entrance, but not too close to it, because the traffic entering the motorways moves quickly. There are traffic lights near the entrance, which aid in slowing down cars, and should allow drivers 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 zone.
==Hitching South==
If you're heading '''South''' its best to do it from the southern end of Hornby just before the 50km/hr zone ends (just past the shopping malls).
