Strategic Infrastructure: The Solent Crossroads
Fareham’s road network is a critical pillar of the UK transport system. The borough manages a high-utilization segment of the M27 Motorway, which serves as the primary terrestrial link between the major naval and industrial centers of the South. This infrastructure is complemented by the A27, a high-capacity arterial road that provides a vital connection across the entire southern coast of England.
The scale of the network's utilization is intense, particularly near the Junction 11 interchange. This area is a major focal point for traffic moving between the Solent towns and the national motorway network. To manage this intensity, National Highways utilizes a sophisticated network of monitoring cameras and the Smart Motorway system, many of which are integrated into the TrafficVision platform. These feeds allow drivers to identify the source of delays—whether it be a vehicle incident near Wallington or maintenance work on the Titchfield stretch—before they start their journey.
Primary Transportation Corridors
- M27 Motorway: The primary international artery linking Portsmouth, Fareham, and Southampton.
- A27: The major regional road serving the high-density residential and industrial areas of the borough and the coastal crossing.
- A32: The vital north-south route linking Fareham to Gosport and the northern Hampshire districts.
- The Western Wards Bypass: A critical regional infrastructure project designed to alleviate congestion in the high-growth areas of Locks Heath and Whiteley.
Did You Know?
Traffic in the United Kingdom drives on the left-hand side. In the Fareham district, speed limits on sections of the M27 are frequently managed by variable signs, often dropping to 50 mph during peak periods or through construction zones to ensure the safety of all road users during the ongoing Junction 10 and 11 improvements.
Prioritizing Safety in the Maritime Belt
Road safety is a continuous priority for National Highways and the Hampshire Road Safety Partnership. The region has historically faced challenges with high traffic density, particularly on the M27 corridor. While motorways in Great Britain are statistically among the safest roads, the complexity of the coastal merges and the high density of commuter traffic require constant driver vigilance.
The challenge of safety is amplified by the high density of freight traffic and the frequency of incidents at major motorway junctions. According to municipal safety reports, over 12,000 drivers were caught speeding through a temporary limit on the M27 in a single year, highlighting the need for increased awareness. TrafficVision empowers Fareham’s drivers by providing the visual tools needed for proactive safety. By allowing motorists to see a tailback at the Delme roundabout or heavy rain on the M27 before they reach the location, our platform helps reduce the risks associated with sudden braking and improves overall situational awareness.

Maritime and Holiday Flow
Being situated on the primary route between the major naval ports and the southern resorts, Fareham’s traffic is heavily impacted by the movement of holiday travelers and industrial freight. During the summer months, traffic volume on the M27 reaches its peak intensity.
