M2 motorway, motorway in Kent, England
The M2 is a motorway in Kent that connects London with coastal areas in North Kent and the Isle of Sheppey. The route runs through relatively flat terrain and crosses several river valleys that shape the landscape along the way.
The M2 opened in the 1960s as part of Britain's motorway expansion to improve coastal connections. It was among the early extensions of the motorway network in South East England during the post-war period.
This motorway follows the same rules and standards as other British motorways, including speed limits and lane discipline. Travellers should check for congestion before driving, particularly during morning and evening peak hours.
