For the former B2070 between Ashford and New Romney in Kent, see B2070 (Ashford - New Romney).
The B2070 runs along part of the old A3, renumbered when the Liphook and Petersfield bypass was completed in 1991. There are therefore several long stretches of isolated dual carriageway, most of which have had one lane hatched out.
In Sheet, immediately north-east of Peterfield, the A272 takes over the route for two thirds of a mile.
In both Liphook and Petersfield, the B2070 has also been extensively traffic calmed, and is subject to a 20 mph limit in Liphook town centre.
Around Rake, the speed limit was reduced to 30mph [1] with the centre markings removed and the sides of the roads resurfaced to appear narrower.
Between Liphook and Petersfield, you will experience 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70mph limits in a car along this road.
In the centre of Liphook the B2131 comes in from the east and - for no obvious reason - turns almost 180º to take over the numbering for the last stretch of the old A3 up to the bypass junction.
