The most famous lane in the UK?

Clacket Lane itself is nothing much, being largely a single track country lane (see Image for junction with A25, including "single track road" sign). It would be virtually unknown if it were not for the fact that where it crosses the M25 north of here is the site for Clacket Lane services, one of the largest and busiest services on the UK motorway network. It also makes a virtually daily appearance on radio traffic bulletins, due to westbound traffic in the morning peak almost always jamming up in the stretch of the motorway from junction 5 near Sevenoaks to here.
