Summary[edit]

Description
English: Dean Lane/A23 junction The building in the background used to be a Little Chef; it is now a Starbucks. The tyre marks in the road are because of this junction's unofficial use as a point of U turn for traffic coming to/from the M23 to/from Merstham and Redhill via the A23. The layout of the junction seems to have been designed to enable such manoeuvres to take place, which is somewhat surprising given that it involves cutting across and rejoining what is often a continuous stream of traffic. Longer term, various proposals have been put forward for a roundabout hereabouts to allow this to be done more safely (and officially) although as with many such consultations, the powers that be seem to be taking an eternity to decide on which of the alternatives should be built, after which funding will need to be secured, so when it will actually happen is anyone's guess.
