M3 is not an easy motorway to get to, although the following worked for [[User:Lnx|Lnx]]:
==== Option 1: Lay-by on A316 near Kempton Park ====Take the train bound for ''Shepperton'' from ''London Waterloo'' in the direction of Shepperton and exit at '''Kempton Park''' station. Exit the station (do not go on the footbridge), cross the racecourse car park and turn right into Park Road, which goes into the slip road coming off A316. When you reach the A316 itself, walk on the pavement in the opposite direction to the traffic. You will immediately see a lay-by (chances are some lorries will be parked there). You can hitch from there. The position is not perfect, as the road is going downhill, and the traffic is traveling very fast (50-70mph).
'''Cost of public transport''': One ticket/travelcard to zone 6 + one ticket from ''Hampton'' to ''Kempton Park'' railway station. '''Kempton Park''' station is just outside London Transport Zones (''Hampton'', the previous station on the Waterloo-Shepperton line, is in zone 6), but it has no ticket barriers and the chances of meeting a ticket inspector between ''Hampton'' and ''Kempton Park'' should be quite remote.

* ==== Option 2: A316 Junction with A312 ====Take the train on the same line as above, and get off at ''Fulwell'An Alternative'. Walk south on Wellington Road, joining and then turn right onto Park Road. Follow this road as it joins the A312 for about 1.5 km in total. Just below the A316 before it becomes bridge, which you will see ahead of you as you follow the A312, there is a roundabout. The first left turn on this roundabout is an on-ramp for the A316. There is a bus stop and a pedestrian crossing here, and traffic is going uphill, and so is quite slow. One user waited here for about 30 minutes with a sign saying "M3'''".
