Live M2 Traffic Cameras — Kent Motorway, Updated in Real Time

Check live M2 traffic cameras before you travel through Kent. We currently stream 7 camera feeds covering the M2 from Junction 1 near the Medway towns to Junction 5 near Faversham, refreshed roughly every minute. Below you'll find live route weather, any approved hazard reports, and the full camera grid by junction.

Note: The M2 is a shorter route than most motorways in our network, so camera coverage here is naturally lighter than on longer routes like the M1 or M25 — this is expected, not a data gap.

About the M2 Motorway

The M2 is a 26-mile motorway in Kent, running from the Medway towns near Rochester to Faversham, where it feeds into the A2 towards Dover and the Channel ports. It's a key route for both local Kent commuters and cross-Channel freight traffic heading to or from the coast, which means conditions here can shift quickly around ferry and Eurotunnel peak times.

Why Check M2 Traffic Cameras Before You Travel

Live camera access lets you:

  • Check conditions before ferry or Eurotunnel connections — the M2 feeds directly into Dover-bound traffic via the A2
  • Spot weather-related risk early — coastal Kent weather can change fast, affecting visibility and road surface
  • Confirm active hazards — verify reported incidents before rerouting
  • See real-time camera status — know which feeds are online before you rely on them
