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 Junction 9 on the M40, from where you can travel North or South. If you then want to travel north on the M40 it is best to be dropped off on the layby just before the juntion. Because the slip road down the motorway is unsuitable for hitching. You will need to make a sign saying 'M40 North' or something similar. The M40 takes you north towards Birmingham or South towards London. It's probably best not to hitch to the North end of Oxford ring road, because the junctions there are very confusing and you might have to walk a long way to find the right road.
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]].
