Oh dear. So whats the difference between the A2 and a Moterway then?

1) Learner Drivers can drive on it.
2) Tractors can drive on it.
3) Motor bikes of 50cc or less can use it.
4) Bicycles can use it.

It is basically a 3 lane "A" road. Go look it up in your copy of the highway code! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

It becomes the M2 near the Medway Bridge.

 

Don't know why it's different, probably something to do with the area that surrounds it being less residential and it's got more lanes from the bridge onwards towards my place.

You'd think that whether or not the road is prefixed with 'M' would kind of give away whether a road was a motorway or not.

Forgot horses! They could technically use it as well, but that would just be silly! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Dictoinary defenition of "Arterial" (Just don't ask me to say it.)

 

Main important road linking large cities or towns.

 

Oh I see.

[FleetFanatic]

Yes I was taking the pee with Alpha.

 

Aren't you going to ask what B stands for in B-road?

[Slartibartfast]

or the D in Cul d' Sac?

So the fleet play in red? I guess we'll be in our away strip then (sky blue/navy blue stripes), rather than red&black stripes.

 

Also to add to the motorway/ A road debate, we'll be coming from the north so over the Dartford bridge and then turning off that A Road, before it becomes the M25.

No you wont. Pay attention young man. The Dartford bridge is the M25. Once you cross the bridge look for signs pointing you to the direction of Gravesend-Medway-Canterbury.

 

Once your on the A2 Bluewater is the next Junction. Once you've dropped her off your looking for signs to Swanscombe. Once you get to the big roundabout take the right exit (you'll see a Macdonanalds on your right. Follow this road for about a mile and a half and our ground is on the left. Go round the roundabout taking the right exit and park under the bridge. Failing that theres many places to park.

Err actually it isn't the M25 at all, it's the A282, the tunnel, the bridge and the approach roads are not part of the M25.

[American FLEET FAN No1]

Quite right Mr Holden,as any Trivial Pursuiter worth his salt knows!

Yes its the A282 that goes under and over The Thames. I know it well as I used to live in Kent.

 

I see you were in Kent Snr Cup action last night against one of our rivals from last season. One of the first matches I went to see was in the 70s and it was a KSC match between Maidstone and Tonbridge (I think).

Cracking compromise pal... it's the only way I can watch the Fleet on a Saturday.. drop her off at Bluewater and collect her after, and a few quid lighter.

Not sure on gate prices though?.. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/top.gif" alt="" />

You should get a season ticket for Bluewater No.8
