Route
A280, Water Lane looking towards the A27
This is a fairly short, but important road. The initial primary section starts at the A24 Washington roundabout. The part of this road through the South Downs is known as "Long Furlong" and has an old Toll House about half-way along it. The toll house is presumably indicative of the age of the road, which would explain its narrow and windy nature. It meets the A27 at a grade separated dumbbell junction. This section rather usefully can be used to bypass the A27/A24 route through Worthing. The section of non primary road is a local link forming the Angmering bypass from the A27 and then on to the A259.
History
Until the early 2000s the A280 continued southwest as a non-primary through Angmering and ended on the A259 further west than it does now, near Angmering station. Nowadays, however, it bypasses Angmering to the east, ending on the A259 just near the Roundstone Garden Centre.
