  • The Truth Behind Op Stack.Pdf
    THE TRUTH BEHIND OPERATION STACK 1. What is Operation Stack? Operation Stack is an emergency procedure implemented by Kent Police to ‘stack’ coast-bound cross-Channel freight traffic on parts of the M20 motorway. History Although originally operated on the A2 by Kent Police before the M20 was completed, once the Channel Tunnel was built and the trunk road from the M20 through to Dover was completed, the M20 became the primary route for cross-Channel freight vehicles. A new version of Operation Stack was subsequently devised for the M20, initially comprising of a coast-bound closure between Junction 11 and Junction 13 as Phase 1 and, if required, a closure of the London-bound carriage way for Phase 2. Purpose Stack is activated when there is a significant blockage to the flow of cross-Channel freight traffic beyond the control of the Port that results in demand for space at either the Channel Tunnel or Port of Dover Ferry Terminal outstripping their parking capacity, resulting in traffic backing up onto the surrounding road network. It has been needed during times of stress such as:- Strike action in Calais Extreme weather conditions Channel Tunnel problems (e.g. migrant incursions, line failure etc) 1 2. Stack Today Implementation Operation Stack is activated by Kent Police based on information received from several sources including the Port of Dover and the Channel Tunnel. Good communication with Kent Police is essential in notifying of any problems that may lead to the need for Stack as it takes approximately two hours from the time of notification to actually closing the motorway and takes a considerable amount of police resource.

  • A20 Highway Improvements PDF 138 KB
    A20 LONDON ROAD, East Malling, Larkfield and Ditton – Highway Improvements Scheme To: Tonbridge and Malling Joint Transportation Board, 23rd September 2019 Main Portfolio Area: KCC – Growth Environment and Transport By: Director of Highways, Transportation and Waste Classification: Unrestricted Ward: Ditton, Larkfield South and East Malling Division: Malling North East and Malling Central Summary: The report is a summary of the actions and results of a consultation carried out between July and September this year, and outlines proposed highway improvements along A20, London Road. For Information 1.0 Introduction and Background 1.1 A20 London Road links the districts of Maidstone and Tonbridge and Malling and as such is a busy commuter route. The A20 runs parallel to the M20 motorway and therefore much of the traffic travelling from London to Kent will use the motorway rather than the A20. However, the A20 is still an important and well used route for local traffic and is also used as a contingent when there are issues on the M20. 1.2 Local developers have provided financial contributions to be used to improve journey times along A20 between the A228 and Coldharbour Roundabout. A package of measures are being designed and consultation has taken place on phases 1 and 2. This comprises proposals to improve road junctions and access for cyclists between New Hythe Lane and Station Road. The proposals aim to reduce road congestion and improve links for cyclists between the two junctions. 1.3 Currently there is no off-road cycle path provision and no continuous on carriageway cycle route along the A20.
