How it worksAcross Kent.
Maidstone
On the M20, with the A249 linking it north to the M2.
Canterbury
The bollarded city centre needs a council access permit to take a vehicle in.
Medway
Chatham, Rochester and Gillingham, strung along the A2 and the M2.
Tunbridge Wells
Right on the East Sussex border, just off the A21.
Ashford
Ashford Borough Council asks for at least ten days’ notice to suspend a bay.
Sevenoaks
The district council can fine a car left in a suspended bay, but can’t tow it.
Dover and Folkestone
Folkestone and Hythe doesn’t cone suspended bays, so the space may not be free on the day.
Worth knowing in Kent.
Checked October 2026. Charges and notice periods change, so check the source before the day.
The Dartford Crossing charges every day from 6am to 10pm. There are no barriers: pay online by midnight the day after you cross.

Channel moves leave from Kent: ferries from Dover to Calais and Dunkirk, and Le Shuttle from Folkestone to Calais (35 minutes).

When Channel crossings are disrupted, Operation Brock sends Europe-bound lorries into their own coastbound lane on the M20.

Bay suspensions are booked with each district council, and notice varies: 10 working days in Sevenoaks, at least 21 days in Folkestone and Hythe.

Bexley and Bromley are London boroughs, so moves there are inside the ULEZ, and that includes your own car.
