==Hitching NorthAirport bus==If you're hitchhiking '''North''' you'd do best near A bus shuttle to the city center is leaving from the front of the Motorway Entranceairport, but not too close to it, because the traffic entering the motorways moves quicklyis really expensive. There are traffic lights near If you walk direction of the entranceInternational Antarctic Center, which aid in slowing down cars, and should allow drivers to get you will find a better view of hitchhikers. Get yourself (by city bus or other means) to Belfast which is stop outside the suburb on the Main North Road immediately before the start of the motorway. Alternatively take "Spitfire Square" that costs just a normal bus right out to Woodend on SH1 and hitch from the north end of town within the 50km/hour zoneticket price.
== Hitchhiking out ==
=== Hitchiking North towards [[Kaikoura]], [[Picton]], The West Coast or [[Nelson]] ===
Bus to Woodend and look for BP fuel station
Good 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.
If you are headed Highway 1 to Picton via Kaikoura and your ride is going Highway 7 toward Hanmer Springs you are best to get out at Amberley, best spot is near the Charles Upham statue as the intersection of Highway 1 / Highway 7 is not a good spot to hitchike.
=== Hitchiking South ===
Take a bus to Hornby "Hub" hitch from opposite Denton Park. Or bus to Templeton and hitch from the Trents Road intersection.
===Hitchiking West towards Arthur's Pass and [[Hokitika]], The West Coast ===
Bus to near the Caltex Russely at the Yaldhurst Road/Russley Road intersection - this is at the start of State Highway 73 but there is a really good area for cars to pull over not far up the 73 where it's goes from two lanes to one and before they get up to highway speed.
