Roads in north Kent could have designated VIP lanes and other traffic-control measures when the Olympics descend on London.

Motorists using the A2 and M25 in north Kent could have more than the usual traffic to contend with when the 2012 sporting spectacular comes to the capital.

Both roads, along with the Dartford Crossing, have been included in plans to create an Olympic Route Network, designed to transport athletes and officials quickly between sporting venues and accommodation.

Measures could include creating “Games Lanes”, reserved purely for the 80,000 athletes, officials, media and sponsors expected during the 16-day Olympics and the subsequent 12-day Paralympic Games.

Other options include temporary traffic signals, improvements to carriageways, or alterations to junction lay-outs.

The roads set to be most affected by the plans are in central London around Stratford’s Olympic Park, but the proposals could also have an impact on the A2 to the west of the M25, and the Essex-bound stretch of the M25, including the crossing.

Labelled the “Olympic Route Network Alternative”, these stretches are included as a contingency against disruption.

The Department for Transport (DfT) has launched a three-month public consultation into the proposals.
