A20 road (England)
The A20 is a major road in south-east England, carrying traffic from London to Dover in Kent. Parts of the route date back to turnpikes established in the early part of the 18th century. The line of the road throughout Kent runs closely in parallel with the M20 motorway.
==Route==
Traffic leaving London at first takes the A2 road; at New Cross in the London Borough of Lewisham the A20 begins and heads in a south-easterly direction, becoming in turn ''Lewisham Way'' and '' Loampit Vale''. The latter road forms a large junction, where the A21 separates for Hastings. The road now runs through ''Lee High Road'' into ''Eltham Road'', The junction with the A210 contains an unusually long 41 m yellow box junction.〔(yellow box junction dimensions - a Freedom of Information request to Transport for London - WhatDoTheyKnow )〕 and continues as the ''Sidcup Bypass'', crossing the A222 at Frognal Corner and the A224 at Crittall's Corner. Entering Kent, it runs past Swanley and flows directly onto the M20 motorway.
The A20 then passes the racing circuit at Brands Hatch before descending steeply from the North Downs escarpment past Wrotham and on to the county town of Maidstone. The route beyond Maidstone travels East, through the villages of Bearsted, Harrietsham, Lenham and Charing to Ashford.
The A292 takes over the former A20 through Ashford itself, then the road emerges as it heads through Willesborough and Sellindge in the direction of Hythe. It takes a sharp turn left at Newingreen (the site of the UK's first motel) before entering Folkestone via Cheriton, passing the vehicular entrance to the Channel Tunnel, forming part of the town's original bypass as the trunk road from the M20. The route then follows the coastline, tunnelling through the hills and descending to the docks in Dover, where it meets the A2 again coming down from Canterbury.
