Avoid A27, Coldean Lane & Carden Ave

[Weststander]

Lorry has jack knifed on the A27. Chaos in all directions, as traffic pours into Patcham etc to avoid it.

At least its not a football night, but should be fun for those just starting to head home from work. Thanks for heads up

Also the A26 and the C7 both have temporary traffic lights simultaneously

Interesting road name, the C7, how many other C roads are there? can't be many.

Actually all unclassified roads have a "C" number I believe. [MENTION=6]Lord Bracknell[/MENTION] would probably be able to tell us more.

'C' roads are given their numbers by the local Highway Authority (in the case of this C7 - Newhaven to Lewes - East Sussex County Council).

There will be other C7s in other counties.

It's rare for C roads to be widely referred to by their numbers. The C7 is an exception because it only got this designation when it was downgraded from its previous classification (A275), which happened when ESCC decided to encourage Newhaven to Lewes traffic to travel by the newly designated A26 route (Denton to Beddingham), rather than the route on the western side of the River Ouse. The change in road numbering was, on this occasion, noticed by local residents.

Maps of the C road system aren't readily available. When I worked at ESCC, I had one on my wall. Beneath C roads in the hierarchy, you'll find UC ('unclassified') roads, each with a number allocated to them by the local Highway Authority.

Only M, A and B roads get mentioned on physical road signs.

Well done Highways department.

Isn't it Virgin Media who are responsible for the temporary lights on the C7? And Highways England for the A26? ESCC are innocent of both.
