Link road between the two carriageways of the A24 This short section of road enables traffic, from Copsale, to join the A24 in either directions.
Many years ago while returning south from Horsham we encountered an elderly lady heading north on the southbound carriageway. Fortunately it is a two lane carriageway and we were in the left lane and she was in the other as we rounded the bend a little further north from here. We only said one word which now translate into 'excrement'.
