"A1023 road The A1023 is an A-road in Essex, England. The road was originally a Roman road which linked London and Colchester. The road is approximately long and at its western end is an exit from the Brook Street Roundabout (junction 28 of the M25 and junction 11 of the A12). From there, heading northeast, the road runs through Brentwood as Brook Street, London Road, High Street and Shenfield Road. It then passes by Shenfield as Chelmsford Road before ending at the Mountnessing Roundabout (junction 12 of the A12). At the eastern end of Brentwood High Street, the A1023 becomes"

The A2011, another dual-carriageway, joins the A23 in West Green and provides a link, via the A2004, to the town centre.

The A23 road from London splits into the ongoing A23 from the south and the M23 at Hooley. The A217 road is a second London road starting in Reigate via Banstead and Sutton and on to London. Two traditional, mostly up to county distance alternatives inspired the names of the north-south/east-west motorway: the low A25 between Godstone/Guildford and the A23, the latter being used for the London to Brighton events."

For part of its route the A22 utilises the turnpikes opened in the 18th century: By 1820 the road ran for 34 miles (54 km) from Stones End Street, Borough, London to Wych Cross. The road was extended north to Westminster Bridge which was later renamed the A23. The A22 diverges from the A23 south of London at ""Purley Cross Junction"" (south of"
