Roundabout at the A22/A27 junction The two roads now share a couple of miles along the Polegate Bypass, this is where they divide to Hastings or Eastbourne. Anyone reading this is recommended to go to Eastbourne directly via Polegate, this route goes all round the houses and takes much longer outside rush hours.
