Changes

Alternatively, from the city center is not too hard to find a traffic light stopping cars just before they getting on the M8. Showing a sign to cars stopped by the red light should work.

Get a train to Stepps. Walk out of the station over the bridge and turn right (north west) along the [[A80 (Scotland)|A80]], continue to the roundabout with the big grassy "pyramids" where the [[M80 (Scotland)|M80]] joins the '''A80'''. Carefully cross the roundabout and stand on the '''A80''' Stirling exit, a little way forward from the [[lay-by]] by the golf cub where cars (but not trucks) can pull in. It's not perfect, cars don't have much time to see you and stop, but it usually works for me.
