Changes

Near the roundabout mentioned above, stand at the pull-over area on the appropriate side of the road. Cars will (in theory) be slowing down for the roundabout, and you will be able to see them as they come off the bridge in the distance. A sign is necessary here, as this is where traffic is scattered in several directions.

If you are lucky enough to be hitching when a football game is being played, walk around the corner when it is finished and stand with your sign where the cars are trickling slowly out. Hopefully the visiting team will have won, and the fans driving south will be in a good mood!

Other options are another pullover area about 1 1/2 miles down the highway (people will be going extremely fast there, but will all be going long distances south), or if you have a sign, outside the furniture store near the Thistle hotel, across from the KFC. And as always when taking advice from HitchWiki, keep your eyes open for better places.
