If you are hitching up north, you can also try the A44/A34 junction (there is a petrol station there too). It's a 3-mile walk or a bus journey to Pear Tree Park and Ride
===South towards [[Portsmouth]], [[Southampton]], [[Winchester]], West towards [[SwindonM4 (GB)|M4 Motorway]] and , West towards [[BristolSwindon]]===If you want to head to * Route: [[Portsmouth]], [[Southampton]] or [[Winchester]], or towards [[M4 A34 (GB)|M4A34]], you have two junctions to go from '''Option 1''' - A4074/A34 junction (where the southern part of Oxford Ring Road joins A34), or Botley junction with the A34.Interchange
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. 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]]. '''Option 2''' - A4074/A34 junction. This is the junction where A34 meets the Oxford's Southern Bypass Rd. Here you can either hitch on the slip road, or walk along A34 to the South or 1/2 a mile - there is a nice and long lay-by, where all A34 Southbound traffic is able to stop.
