Notice is hereby given that National Highways Limited has made an Order on the A20 and A2 Trunk Roads in the County of Kent, under Section 14(1) (b) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 to better manage freight movements within the town of Dover during peak traffic demand, thereby mitigating the
risk of danger to the public from excessively queueing traffic

This forms an extension of Temporary Notice NH/2025/E666 (which it thereby replaces) as permitted by The Road Traffic (Temporary Restrictions) Procedure
Regulations 1992 (a), Regulation 7.

The effect of the Order is to prohibit:-

(a) any vehicle to make a right turn from the westbound carriageway of the A20 into York Street or Woolcomber Street, nor to enter or proceed in
the filter lanes for the purpose thereof; and

(b) any vehicle to make a left turn from York Street or Woolcomber Street into the westbound carriageway of the A20, nor to enter or proceed in the filter lanes for the purpose thereof.

These measures are in the interests of road safety and optimum traffic management during peak traffic demand

The prohibitions will be imposed to the time and extent agreed by the police, local authority, and National Highways traffic coordinators as necessary,
and will be of indefinite duration.

The Order will come into force on the 22nd September 2025 and have a maximum duration of eighteen months or until the existing Permanent Order (2024 No. 0866) is amended, whichever is sooner.

Heavy commercial vehicles affected by the closures will be diverted westbound on the A20 and the M20 to Junction 8 and return. Local Traffic affected by this closure will be diverted westbound on the A20 to Western Heights roundabout and return.

The temporary prohibitions and diversion routes will be clearly indicated by traffic signs when they are in operation during the works period.
