Enter start and destination and see how much of your drive is open – and what that means for travel time.
How the figures are produced
The basis is our own analysis of the freely available OpenStreetMap data. For every section of the A20 we check whether a speed limit is recorded and sum the length by category. “No limit recorded” means the tag is missing in the data – which is not the same as open road. This is a data-based analysis, not an official survey.
