Traffic Management in Grays and surroundings . Grays is badly affected when there are problems on the existing bridge or tunnel crossings. Traffic builds up and can cause traffic jams all the way back to Grays town and main roads around the town. The new tunnel crossing may compound these problems to the east of Grays, thus surrounding the Grays town with heavy traffic and cutting it off from the rest of Essex and London. The existing tunnel and bridge should be used by local and London traffic. The new tunnel crossing should be used by traffic from the North and South and East Kent and be directed onto the M25 without access to Grays. No route should be allowed off the road in south Essex before the M25 in Essex. No junction at the Orsett Cock. Failure to enforce/ encourage this type of traffic management will only cause more problems in Grays.
