The road runs between Preston Circus and Ditchling Road and was developed in the mid 1840s and was originally known as Montpelier Road East running along the old parish boundary between Brighton to the south and Preston to the north. Later on it became the A27 until the bypass was opened in the early 1990s after which it was designated as the A270 with this stretch also shared by the A23 southbound traffic. The large black plant pots were added in early 2015 as a traffic calming measure to much local derision.
