The M2 motorway is a motorway in England. It runs approximately twenty-six miles in Kent, acting as a bypass of the section of the A2 road which runs through the Medway Towns, Sittingbourne and Faversham. It is the only "M" motorway (as opposed to an "A-road(M)" motorway such as the A1(M)) that does not meet any other motorway at a junction (whilst the M57 and M67 do not connect to other motorways directly, they do meet other motorways at junctions which briefly require the motorist to use all-purpose roads to get from one to the other).
The M2 is also the longest motorway not to go past any primary destinations (westbound it is signed "London", eastbound "Canterbury, Channel Tunnel, Dover", none of which are anywhere near the M2 itself).The road starts near the Medway Towns and bypasses them, heading east before bypassing Sittingbourne and Faversham to end at Brenley Corner just outside Faversham. It has 7 junctions, and from these junctions roads can be accessed leading to Maidstone, Ashford, Sheerness and Canterbury.
Along the way is the Medway Bridge between Junctions 2 and 3, where the motorway crosses the River Medway. Currently the only set of service stations on the M2 is the Medway Services (formerly Farthing Corner) between Junctions 4 and 5.{| border=1 cellpadding=2 style="margin-left:1em; margin-bottom: 1em; color: black; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;"|- align="center" bgcolor="0080d0" style="color: white;font-size:120%;" | M2 Motorway|- align="center" bgcolor="000000" style="color: white" | Westbound exits | Junction | Eastbound exits | | Road continues as A2 to London | Start of Motorway |
