[[User:timmy_tofu|Timmy Tofu]] was picked up from this spot in a matter of seconds, by the very first vehicle that passed.
[[User:Treefrog| Treefrog]] tried the Sanchong Interchange closer to downtown, but gave up after about half an hour (no great place to wait or for cars to pull over). He had better luck at the Tucheng Interchange (Highway 3) near Yongning Metro station. There's a great waiting place here next to a turn lane leading onto the highway, and he was picked up in about 15 minutes by a couple going to Taoyuan. BUT his new favorite spot is at Highway 1, Exit 25 in Shilin District (northern Taipei), at 25.079865, 121.513315 (copy and paste that into Google or another map app to see the exact location). He stood right near the pointy tip of the divider between the freeway entrance and the frontage road, and got two ride offers within 5 minutes, turning down the first (to nearby Sanchong) for a better one all the way to Taichung.
[[User:Ollie|Ollie]] caught the blue metro line to [https://goo.gl/maps/xzi7Ssuyd7t Yongning Station (永寧站)], exited through exit number 1, then walked along the path pictured below to the 'X' where he stood at the entrance to Highway 3 for only 7 minutes before getting a lift to [[Hsinchu]]. From [[Hsinchu]] he got a lift after 10 minutes directly to [[Taichung]] (See the [[Hsinchu]] page for details)
