About East Sussex

East Sussex attracts families, commuters, and retirees to call it home. The seaside resorts of Bexhill-on-Sea, Eastbourne and Hastings welcome tourists during the summer months, adding to the traffic on the roads. There are no motorways in East Sussex, so traffic relies on the network of minor roads. 

The main roads through the county radiate out from London; the A21 runs to Hastings, the A22 to Eastbourne and the A23 to Brighton. The other main road is the A26 that runs from Newhaven and Lewes into Kent, and the A259 trunk road connects Folkestone with Eastbourne before turning into the A27. The section of the A27 between Eastbourne and Portsmouth has been named as one of the busiest trunk roads in the country. 

2011 figures show that households in East Sussex own 292,118 cars or vans. This increases the demand for car parts, as all cars require regular maintenance. This corresponds to an average of 1.3 vehicles per household, which helps explain why the county's major roads suffer from congestion and slow-moving traffic. 

Unfortunately, this level of traffic results in a high number of accidents. In 2013, the roads of East Sussex experienced 1,295 crashes, resulting in 1,792 casualties. Out of this number, 339 were either killed or injured seriously, an 11% increase on the previous year. A notorious accident blackspot is the so-called “Death Mile”. Between 2000 and 2007, a 1.5-mile stretch of the A27 was the site of several terrible accidents. Places with a high number of traffic accidents typically experience a greater demand for car and van parts. 

On a more positive note, car enthusiasts in East Sussex are treated to the biggest free motoring event on the south coast in Magnificent Motors, which takes place in Eastbourne. The county is also home to several car clubs, including the East Sussex Morris Minor Club and the East Sussex MG Club. Car owners in the South East can use Breakeryard.com to source affordable used car parts in the area.
