Once the main route to the north of Peacehaven the road is now chopped into three different parts. This is peculiar to Peacehaven where roads with the same name often end in one place and start up again about half a mile further on. Access was made even more complicated in the 1960s when some avenues had their access blocked to the main A259. From the 1980s onward development was increased often filling in the gaps resulting in new roads and older ones chopped into further parts. Roderick Avenue is a case in point it begins at the clifftop but no longer has access from the A259 going north. It ends south of the Meridian centre which was partially built over its old route before starting up again as Sutton Avenue veers to the east to join with it. Access is blocked again as the main route turns east then starts up again at the crossroads with Glynn Road. It travels beyond the photographer and stops when it reaches The Lookout at the top of Peacehaven.
