''The Shell station is a good spot but the staff working there was very rude when I was there, I got kicked out and had to wait outside the station (but it was still a good spot). They might still say that you have to leave but legally it's outside their property so you can just stay there. Lola, December 2018.''

It's possible to hitch on the {{Mgb|32}}/{{Mgb|4}} roundabout if your driver is not going in your direction – 8km from center, watch out for police who may move you.

=== To [[London]], [[Birmingham]] & [[Cardiff]] ===
There are two spots to leave Bristol from the center, the [http://maps.hitchwiki.org/?lat=51.460854&lng=-2.58154&zoom=16&trip=0&view=3 M32 Silvey Services] opposite Staples. This is a Shell petrol station, which is an excellent hitching spot. Signing from just next to the exit, cars are able to pull in or pick you up as they leave the petrol station and whilst not all lanes can pick you up, you are highly visible and all cars will pass you. Normally less than 15 minute wait, though Jonathan has waited up to 90 minutes. Many cars will not be going to London but don't be stressed.
