Southampton Car Parts from Breakers & Scrap Yards

About Southampton 

Southampton is a city full of activity. As the largest city in the county of Hampshire Southampton has strong transportation links to the rest of the country and a bustling economy. Soton was previously named as the third most densely populated city in the UK after London and Portsmouth, and a lot of people means a lot of cars on the roads. 

There are many things going on within Southampton that cause an influx of road traffic, including access to the docks for cruise passengers, students for the two universities, passengers for Southampton Airport and visitors to West Quay, the large retail park popular with shoppers throughout Hampshire. This huge array of things going on means that roads are often very busy within the city, and traffic can be an issue. 

The M27 motorway links towns and cities along the south coast of England, and runs just to the north of the city. The M3 motorway is the main artery linking Southampton to London, and can also suffer greatly with congestion issues. The M271 motorway is a spur of the M27, linking it with the Western Docks and Southampton city centre.

The M27 is notorious for its traffic, and it was revealed that in 2013 that the 28-mile stretch of motorway was affected by roadworks for all but 10 days of the year - causing critical queue situations. The stretch between junctions seven and five of the M27 in Southampton was named as one of the worst tailgating blackspots in the country. Southampton has also been named as one of the top 16 areas in the country that fails to meet strict traffic pollution health levels due to the quantity of traffic on roads. 

This high level of congestion and instances of unsafe driving mean accidents are an issue within Soton. Jacklyns Lane in Alresford has been the focus of safety campaigners in recent years, as has the junction of South East Road and Kathleen Road in the Sholing area of the city. A high number of accidents swells the demand for car parts in the city.

Sotonians should make the most of the nearby Beaulieu National Motor Museum for a fun family day out, or visit The Concorde Club Classic & Sports Car Show if you’re fond of a good classic.
