A3 Contraflow and Speed Limit Changes from 7 May 2025

Drivers are advised of major changes on the A3 between Ockham Park roundabout and M25 Junction 10 starting from 5:30am on Wednesday 7 May 2025, lasting until the end of the year. A contraflow system will be in place to allow carriageway widening works while keeping three lanes open in both directions.

Northbound:

  • Speed limit reduced from 50mph to 30mph due to narrow lanes.

  • Lane guide:

    • Inside lane: M25 exit (both directions)

    • Middle lane: A3 through traffic

    • Outside lane: A3 cars only (HGVs not allowed)

Southbound (from 7 May):

  • Speed limit remains at 50mph.

  • Lane guide after M25 J10 exit:

    • Inside lane: All traffic, including HGVs and those exiting at Ockham Park.

    • Outside lane: Contraflow (cars only, no HGVs, and no exit at Ockham Park).

Drivers heading to RHS Wisley or Ripley must stay in the inside lane southbound. HGVs are restricted from using the contraflow lanes.
