In response to the increasing freight volumes, the Dover Traffic Access Protocol (TAP) scheme has been activated on the A20 at Aycliffe. This strategic move is aimed at managing the surge in port-bound traffic and minimising its impact on the local road network and the A20 running through Dover town.

The implementation of the Dover TAP is a standard response to high freight volumes, especially during peak travel times or when unexpected traffic surges occur. The scheme involves regulating the flow of freight to the Port of Dover, ensuring that the local road infrastructure is not overwhelmed. It helps in maintaining smoother traffic flow for both local residents and those heading to the port.
