If you are relocating in the Kent area, a familiarity with the major routes of the area will certainly help. These are the major roads of the county:

A229 – Heads south from Maidstone to Hastings
A2070 – Heads south from Ashford to Hastings, and north from Ashford to Canterbury

Two motorways M20 and M2 also pass through Kent.
There have been roads closed in Kent due to accidents, roadworks or repairs. The A25 Westerham Road and A225 in Sevenoaks, for instance, were closed due to recovery work and accident. Two lanes between Leeds Castle, J8 and J9 in Ashford have also been blocked due to accident, causing slow traffic coastbound.
Slow traffic is also expected in Wincheap and Castle Row in Cantebury; and from A290 St. Peter’s Place to Wincheap Roundabout, Canterbury. Roadworks at Whiffren’s Avenue in Chatlam are also causing delay on Brook. Similarly, traffic is slow near Bottom Pond Road as the road is closed because of burst water main and emergency roadworks at Horn Hill Road, Milstead.
There are over 50 motorway cameras in Kent. Some are located in Badbury, Wroughton, Liddington, Woodlands St. Mary, Long Walk, Whale Island, Hill Road Bridge, Farenham East, River Itchen, S’ton Airport, Eastern Road and Badgers Mount.
