Hitchhiking in the '''United Kingdom''' easily possible, although the British are a little surprised to see people still doing it these days. Hitchhiking is illegal on the motorways, but is allowed at service stations and slip roads. When travelling a long distance on the motorways it is best to stick to the service stations as getting a lift on a slip road will take an exceptionally long time.Don't get dropped at any motorway junctions (M25/M4 / M4/M5 / etc) as traffic will be going too fast to stop and you will probably be picked up by the police.

If you're hitchhiking long distances and considering making a sign, in general people use the motorway names rather than the city names. For example, from London to Cornwall have a sign saying 'M4'. But if you are hitching on a motorway with multiple cities (ie: M1) it is an idea to use a sign with the city name (eg: Nottingham / Sheffield / etc).
