Action: M25/A12 Brook Street Interchange - Improve Southbound Off-slip
Priority: Low Ref: 3B
Initiation: During peak hours queuing occurs on the southboundcarriageway of the A12 where traffic queues back from the M25 interchange onthe off slip road.

This queuing causes late lane changes, queue jumping, and tail end collisions.
Action description: The southbound A12 approaching the M25 BrookStreet Interchange will be widened to provide 200m of auxiliary diverge lane.
Objective(s) met: Safety objective OS3 and economy objectives OC2and 3 will benefit from the proposed scheme.
Benefits: This will reduce delays to the A12 through trafficand reduce tail end collisions.
Timescale: The design and implementation of the proposals willbe undertaken in years 9 and 10. However, the proposals will be reviewed in thelight of the Multi-modal Study findings.
