Surrey's
Main
Road Network ~ An overview
Running through the heart of Surrey
is part of the M25,
London's orbital Motorway
(shown on the map above) , connecting the towns
of Reigate, Leatherhead, Chertsey and Staines.
This road provides excellent connections
between all of the capital's surrounding home counties and main
roads into London. However it's very much a victim of its own
success and despite many re-widening programmes this essential road can be
more like a moving car park than a motorway at
busy times! Beware of variable speed limits and their frequent speed
camera enforcement. (See our page on known Speed Camera areas ~ The Good Move Guide encourages
safe driving ~ so don't get caught, keep your speed down and drive carefully).
The
furthest parts of the county are less than an hour away from central London
using both car or rail transport, but remember the
ever increasing road congestion particularly within the Greater London
boundary demands adequate allowance must be made when traveling by road. Most day time hours now produce heavy traffic and at very
busy times some journeys can frequently take twice as long.
The route of the M25 in Surrey passes close to both London Airports
at Heathrow and Gatwick making this a particularly busy stretch of the
motorway. Within Surrey the main roads out of London are the M3
to the south west and the A3,
A24 and M23 to the south.
The location of the county means that it lies
between London and the South
Coast
thereby providing some of the finest venues for a variety of leisure
interests within a reasonable travelling distance.
