The A259 is a road on the south coast of England passing through Hampshire, West Sussex, East Sussex and part of Kent. The main part of the road connects Brighton, Eastbourne, Hastings, Rye and Folkestone.
The road is below the expected standard of a trunk road used by HGVs and a frequent cause of congestion and disruption, and has been documented as one of the most dangerous roads in South England.
The A259 is a busy two-lane road running along the south coast of England; part is almost parallel to the A27 road. The A259 runs east from Emsworth in Hampshire, into West Sussex via Chichester, Bognor Regis, Littlehampton, Ferring, Worthing, Lancing, Shoreham-by-Sea, into the Unitary Authority of Brighton and Hove which incorporates Portslade, Hove and Brighton, and on into the East Sussex towns of Peacehaven, Newhaven, Seaford, Eastbourne, Pevensey, Bexhill-on-Sea, Hastings and Rye. Over the border in Kent, it continues through New Romney and Hythe to terminate at Folkestone.
