The highest share of HGVs was on the section between Portsmouth and Havant, where they made up 16% of the traffic.

The traffic on the A27 varies by time of day and day of week.

The traffic on the A27 also depends on the season and weather conditions. The summer months tend to have higher traffic volumes than the winter months, especially on the coastal sections that attract holidaymakers. The traffic can also be affected by roadworks, accidents, events and incidents that cause delays and diversions.
If you are planning to travel on the A27, it is advisable to check the latest traffic information before you set off. You can use online sources such as National Highways, Traffic England or Google Maps to get real-time updates on traffic conditions, road closures and incidents. You can also listen to local radio stations or follow social media accounts that provide traffic news and alerts.
The A27 is a vital road for the south coast region, but it also faces many challenges due to its high traffic volumes and congestion. There are ongoing plans to improve the road by widening some sections, building bypasses and junctions, and upgrading signage and technology. However, these projects may take years to complete and may cause further disruption during construction.
Therefore, it is important to be aware of the traffic situation on the A27 and plan your journey accordingly. By doing so, you can avoid unnecessary stress and frustration and enjoy a smoother and safer ride.

A27 was blocked off before the Lewes roundabour, had to go around the A26, and following ‘diverted traffic’ signs was a nightmare, as whoever placed them did so miles apart, which is no joke when you do not know the area. No road works were taking place up the hill, so why was it blacked off. Taking Care staff to work, where were 30 minutes late for duty.
Road planners, never let them near a brewery and a piss up, they will dig holes all around it and then piss off. Mayhem and chaos by idiots.
Note that this website is only showing planned delays on the eastbound A27 in both sections! The section about westbound planned delays is a repetition of the information in the eastbound section. Unless my geography is up the creek.
The A27 was totally blocked for over 2 hours this morning. Any ideas?
A27 east bound is choca-block. We are in stand still traffic and have been for the last 10/15 minutes. Avoid if possible.
