Recent Congestion
Due to the location of the B2163 it is often used as a bypass for drivers wanting to avoid the traffic of Maidstone town centre. Traffic is known to get especially bad on the B2163 (Heath Road) near Linton crossroads where a set of lights connecting the Roman road, A229 to the B2163 (Heath Road) can be found. This traffic has increased in the last few years since 2010 creating slow-moving traffic exiting the village of Coxheath.
Landmarks
Along the B2163 you can find multiple landmarks. Towards the village of Teston you can find Teston Bridge, a 14th or 15th century Grade 1 listed arch rag-stone bridge crossing the River Medway. Buffering Linton Crossing you will find Linton Park, a Grade 1 listed country home with many public paths connecting the mansion to the nearby deer park, church and pub (The Bull Inn) where you can get amazing views across the Weald of Kent.
