Report on FixMyStreet
White give way markings, 7th March
Following the recent A2 repairs in the vicinity of the Whitfield roundabout North (Canterbury) bound, there is a slip road crossing the South bound carriageway giving access to Singledge Lane. The resurfacing work covered the dotted give way markings on the slip road which is causing some confusion to local drivers. Since the road is now unmarked, they are assuming it is an unmarked crossing and of the opinion that A2 traffic should give way to them. May I also suggest a cross hatched area to allow crossing when the roundabout is blocked by traffic.

Blocked drains causing flooding along The Lane Guston.The water is so high that it is in danger of entering my property AGAIN, 13th November
The drains desperately need to be emptied as the ground is so sodden that the moment it starts to rain the drains can't cope. The lane down from the railway bridge at the curve in the road is the main problem area. The amount of silt buildup in the drains is preventing full rain drainage. This problem has become much more constant. Since the end of October 2023 the lane has been flooded more days than it hasn't culminating in quite a problem for both motorists and people on foot.

Flooding under Guston bridge, 29th October
The flood waters have risen sufficiently to cause drivers in the B carriage way ( away from the Port of Dover) to move to the centre of the carriage way and also into the A carriageway. This is a continuing problem in heavy rain for the last 5-10 years and needs fixing.

Report on FixMyStreet
Signage obstructed by trees/shrubs on A2 both directions between A256 and A258., 30th May
Some of the signs on both carriageways are barely visible because of overgrown trees and shrubs blocking them. This is a danger as the signs are for direction and safety. Vegetation has been allowed to grow over a long period and not maintained properly. Particularly dangerous as the A2 is a main route to the Port of Dover and is used by many foreign drivers who will be unused to the road and will be missing some safety signs. Requires urgent attention in this busy holiday period.

A2 Road surface between whitfield and jubliee way, 19th May
In my opinion this stretch of road surface is becoming dangerous. There are numerous large potholes, large deep grooves in the surface, the road surface is braking up and there are deep ruts which I believe to be caused by HGVs the deep ruts 'take control of' the steering of vehicles when the wheels are in them, they also become deep puddles when we have heavy rain. The surface itself is shocking and sounds horrendous inside the vehicle, causing it to rattle and vibrate for the duration of this stretch of road. I have just suffered a suspension failure on my vehicle and I am sure the condition of this road which I have to use on a daily basis was a major contribution to this. Also the flooding issue under the flyover is getting worse and in heavy rain it floods across the whole Whitfield bound lane. I think it is unfair to ask people to put up with this for the duration of Whitfield redevelopment program before repairs take place.
