Around Auckland there are a lot of highways. The multilane roads on which cyclists and pedestrians are excluded are called motorways. The main highway, State Highway 1, is a motorway as it passes through the city and suburbs. It is possible to get rides from on ramps that have a suitable berm for the vehicles to stop. Not all on ramps allow for this. Alternatively, you should get to the "service centre" dedicated to motorway traffic where you can find rides easily. It is between the Papakura and Drury motorway off ramps.
To get to service centre, get a train to papakura and then outside papkura train station get as bus, but ask the driver if he goes to near intersection of sutton and great south rd, if not just you can get a bus to take you down great south road near druryi think #475 bus which costs $2. walk up just get off anywhere around #490 great south rd (towards auckland city) . If you should be able to see motorway on your left in distance. youll pass a pet shop on your left and further up a sign for a honey place?...walk it,it takes about 30-40minutes.but continue on until once you come to are near #490ish there is a new housing development st called parkhavenon your right. walk left down park haven rd and follow it as it bends left. at the end of parkhaven there is a grassy area. look to your right at the wood fence next to the last house. jump the fence or (climbthrough the hole if its still there) and you are now in the grounds of the service centre.So so easy to get a ride:)http://goo.gl/maps/MTUl
