'''Birmingham''' is a city in [[England]]. It is served by four motorways ‒ the [[M6 (GB)|M6]] comes from the [[M1 (GB)|M1]] M to [[London]] at [[Rugby]] up to [[Liverpool]] and [[Manchester]], the [[M5 (GB)|M5]] heads to the south-west and [[Bristol]] and the [[M42 (GB)|M42]] goes to [[Tamworth]] and [[Leeds]] on the M1 north. The [[M40 (GB)|M40]] heads to London and Oxford. The M5, M6 and M42 all form a box around the city. The A38(M) (better known as the Aston Expressway) gets traffic in and out of the city centre and on to the M6 at the infamous Spaghetti Junction.

Birmingham also has an airport and a railway station in the city centre. The National Exhibition Centre (NEC) is another good place to hitch from, it is close to both the motorway and the airport and is widely visited by car drivers.
You might actually be able to hitch out of Birmingham on the M6 from the Spaghetti junction - there is a space where cars can pull over, although they are going quite fast and in two lanes, and police are going past quite frequently. This might be an option if you're really skint, as the junction is quite central. Another option are the petrol stations around Junction 2 on the M5, however there are two and the only reasonable spot for going South [[User:Atopia|atopia]] found is on the .
