Tips for Driving in Kent

When driving around Kent, there a few key things to remember:

  • Kent uses standard UK national speed limits on its roads. In built up areas, the limits are 30mph and 20mph in certain areas, 40 to 60mph on single carriageways and 70mph on the surrounding motorways and dual carriageways.
  • Kent is served by two motorways: the M2 and the M20, which connects Folkestone to London. Be wary of public holidays and the summer holiday season, as the roads become quite heavy with traffic.
  • Kent is home to the Euro Tunnel terminal and the Port of Dover – the two main connections between the UK and France.
  • Due to Dover port being one of the busiest passenger ports in the world, the surrounding roads become congested during holidays. The A2, A20 and A256 can come to a standstill and traffic police is often deployed to manage the road flow. Plan your journeys ahead during these times.
  • Canterbury also becomes congested during peak hours due to the narrow roads in the city center. The ring road surrounding the center can get heavy traffic with its multiple roundabouts, so make use of car parks and take a stroll through the beautiful streets.
  • Majority of the popular sights and places in Kent have car parks, which have hourly rates you can find online or on the boards by the entrances.
  • In an emergency, dial 999 or 112 on mobiles.
