Editing Surrey (section)

=== Road ===
Three major motorways pass through the county. These are:
*[[M25 motorway|M25]] (London Orbital) runs through the county, including a long [[cutting (transportation)|cutting]] into the [[Reigate|Reigate Hill-Walton Down]] scarp of the [[North Downs]] and has 8 junctions in the county.<br/>It connects among others to the [[M1 motorway|M1]], [[M11 motorway|M11]], [[M20 motorway|M20]], [[M26 motorway|M26]], [[M4 motorway|M4]] and [[M40 motorway|M40]]. The motorway runs close to [[Heathrow Airport]] and the motorway network can be used to access [[Gatwick]], [[Stansted]] and [[Luton Airport|Luton]] Airports and the [[Channel Tunnel]] motor vehicle service.
*[[M3 motorway (Great Britain)|M3]] crosses the north-west of the county. It connects London to [[Southampton]] and the [[South West of England]] having in Surrey the Sunbury-on-Thames, M25 interchange and the [[Lightwater]] and [[Bagshot]] junctions.
*[[M23 motorway|M23]] (north–south) in effect connects [[Croydon]] to [[Brighton]] as the dualled A23 trunk road to the north and beyond [[Crawley]]. It has junction to a spur to [[Gatwick Airport]] on the Surrey/Sussex border. It has a Surrey junction, the M25 [[Merstham]] interchange, close to the Reigate M25 junction.

Other major roads include:

*The [[A3 road|A3]] trunk road from [[Portsmouth]] to London. The road now bypasses and historically assisted in the growth of [[Haslemere]], [[Godalming]], [[Guildford]], [[Esher]] and Kingston upon Thames. The [[Hindhead Tunnel]] bypasses a former bottleneck at Hindhead and the Devil's Punchbowl.
*The [[A24 road (England)|A24]] from London to [[Littlehampton]] and [[Worthing]]. In Surrey, it passes through or around [[Ewell]], [[Epsom]], [[Ashtead]], [[Leatherhead]] and [[Dorking]]. It passes Box Hill, near Dorking. Unlike the A3, which is almost completely dual carriageway, the A24 is, apart from a central Surrey stretch, single carriageway; it bypasses [[Leatherhead]], [[Dorking]] and [[Horsham]].
*The [[A31 road|A31]] trunk road heads west from [[Guildford]] to [[Bere Regis]] via [[Farnham]] and is connected to the M3 near [[Winchester]] and via the A331 near [[Aldershot]]. It is dual carriageway along the Hog's Back from the A3 to [[Farnham]]. It is one of the ancient routes from London to [[Winchester]], see [[Pilgrims' Way]].
*The short A331 connects the A31 to the M3. It runs along the Surrey-Hampshire border, bypassing [[Aldershot]], [[Frimley]] and [[Farnborough, Hampshire|Farnborough]].
