=== North or East via [[M27 (GB){{Mgb|M27]] 27}} ===

Alternatively, you could try walking along The Avenue/Bassett Avenue (A33) - although it has bus lanes in places, it's definitely worth giving it a try (especially in Southampton Common area, where there is one very wide lane each way. There is also a petrol station at the top of The Avenue at the on ramp for the M3 motorway {{Mgb|3}} and is an excellent spot for getting north towards London.  === South towards East Cowes, [[Isle of Wight]] ===

{{infoneeded[[User:siinvincible|Information required}}Simon]] got a lift within 10 minutes stood on the edge of the port (just outside the gates, so as not to disturb the staff - there is a pavement there and drivers can see you easily). A bold and happy sign simply for "Isle of Wight" did the trick. Got offered a lift within 2 minutes even, but the family decided they didn't have enough room for me (I had a lot of stuff..). When we went to check in, the lady at the office asked how many passengers we were, but I guess simply for legal reasons to know how many people are on the ship (she didn't need to take information of the extra passenger or anything).

=== North towards Eastleigh, [[Winchester]], ([[West Midlands|The West Midlands]], A34), [[London]] ===If you are in the north of the city, try hitching from near Chilworth roundabout, where the [[M3 (GB){{Mgb|3}} starts.
