Traffic, 12th April
There are two separate works going on here. One rebuilding of a wall cones are put out and down to one lane heading to maidstone and then Coldharbour roundabout again cones out single lane works which again down to one lane. On my lunch hour it took me 45 mins to pass through this area. How are both works allowed to go ahead at the same time. I even tried going on the motorway the following day and the slip road and that roundabout was also congested taking 40 mins to get off.

Report on FixMyStreet
Large amount of surface water gathering., 4th January
Whilst driving from Jct 5 to Jct 6 on the M20, a large amount of surface water is gathering which was causing road users to break heavily. This also presents a risk to other Road users with regards to unpredictable driving behaviour, and possibility of aquaplaning. Looking at a previous report, the lack of lighting in this area also leads to road users not being able to see the surface water until they are within the immediate vicinity.
Please could I suggest better drainage system, the light to be reviewed and assessed, and for the speed restrictions to be reviewed and implemented when weather conditions change.
Kind regards,

All the lights have been off between J5 & J6 for months, 16th December
There is a report from 5th September 2023 about this issue. Does it take over 3 months to fix the lights, or have they been turned off to save the cost of electricity? This is particularly dangerous in the Winter months and especially during the evening rush hour. There are often long queues coast bound and drivers crossing lanes to avoid or jump the queue. Working lights would make the journey so much safer.

Very dark - lack of lighting, 5th September
This stretch of the M20 is extremely dark with no lighting. It strikes me as unsafe, particularly given the lack of hard shoulder on this "smart" section of the motorway. Are steps being taken to improve visibility and safety on this stretch of the motorway at night, or restore lighting?
