What the petition asks
Whenever there is a problem with the M25 (Dartford Crossing) and the A2, the roads in and around Dartford become gridlocked.
Drivers try to get off these main roads & cut through Dartford & the surrounding roads, which clog them up. Drivers clog up the roads trying to get onto M25/A2. It's a mess.

The roads in and around Dartford have got progressively worse, but there has been a marked increase in the frequency of "grid lock" since the Dartford Tunnel / M25 roads were altered.
The roads need to be altered so that the A2 and the M25 traffic issues do not instantly and catastrophically snarl up Dartford and the surrounding areas.
