Take any bus going to Botley or Seacourt Park and Ride. Botley Interchange (A420/A34 roundabout) is a few hundred metres away from the Park and Ride site.
The best way to get on to Botley Interchange roundabout: when on the bus to Botley keep a look out for a 70s looking tower on your right. You will then pass under a bridge which carries the A34 (ring road). Just after the bridge there will be a small alley way on your right. Go up this path which takes you to the roundabout. It is the safest and best route.
On the A34 Southbound slip road there is a nice long area of hatched markings, which is a safe and convenient place for a vehicle to stop to pick you up. Also, the speed is limited to 50mph.
This worked well for user [[User:Lnx|Lnx]] on the 22nd of February 2008 - the waiting time in the morning (7:05am) was about 4 (four!) minutes.
The A34 Northbound slip road is also useful. From here you can hitch towards Bicester on the M40, from where you can travel North or South
From the same roundabout A420 continues to the west towards [[Swindon]] via rural Oxfordshire. This road has low speed limits and speed cameras - for this reason most traffic going to [[Swindon]] and [[Bristol]] uses [[A34 (GB)|A34]] and [[M4 (GB)|M4]].
