The A3 is a major road in Jersey connecting Saint Helier and Gorey, passing through Grouville and Longueville.
Previously, traffic could travel along the whole route in the direction of town, with the exception of Don Road along the east of Howard Davis Park. However, after the opening of the Tunnel in the 1960s, there was a desire in the States to reduce the amount of traffic travelling through the town centre. In the 1986 Island Plan, [1] a project was identified to pedestrianise part of La Colomberie, with traffic diverted onto Grenville Street, to encourage more traffic to use the tunnel as the East-West route.
The modern route is practicably in three parts.
The first part of the route runs from Grenville Street to Weighbridge along a one-way single-lane road. It meets junctions with the A7 and the B77. It runs past the States Building and the Town Church. The road meets a junction with the A4, before running between Liberation Square and the Weighbridge.
Part of the A3 runs along La Colomberie between Howard Davis Park and B84. This road has been one-way since the 1950s. The remainder of La Colomberie was pedestrianised in the 1990s, interrupting the traffic flow from the East to the Town Centre. Now traffic must use a round-about route via the B84 and the B79. [2]
The main part of the route runs from Howard Davis Park along a section of one-way road called Don Road. The road meets a busy junction at Georgetown (where seven roads meet in close proximity). The road runs through Longueville over a hill to Grouville Church and further onto Gorey.

The A3, known as the Portsmouth Road or London Road in sections, is a major road connecting the City of London and Portsmouth passing close to Kingston upon Thames, Guildford, Haslemere and Petersfield. For much of its 67-mile (108 km) length, it is classified as a trunk road and therefore managed by Highways England. Almost all of the road has been built to dual carriageway standards or wider. Apart from bypass sections in London, the road travels in a southwest direction and, after Liss, south-southwest.
The A2 is a major road in south-east England, connecting London with the English Channel port of Dover in Kent. This route has always been of importance as a connection between London and sea trade routes to Continental Europe. It was originally known as the Dover Road. The M2 motorway has replaced part of the A2 as the strategic route.

The A226 road travels in a west–east direction in southeast London and north Kent, from Crayford in the London Borough of Bexley, through Dartford, Gravesend to Strood. It is about 15.7 miles in length. Before road numbering began in the United Kingdom, the road was part of the major route between London and Dover, the road taken by all traffic heading for mainland Europe. When the Ministry of Transport published its first list of road numbers, however, the building of the A2 had already begun; and the earliest map shows the projected route of that latter road; the previous road being relegated to what is now the A226.

St Helier railway station was the terminus of the Jersey Eastern Railway (JER) in Saint Helier, the capital of Jersey in the Channel Islands. Opened in 1874, it was situated in a railway cutting at the base of Mont de la Ville below Fort Regent. The station was referred to as St. Helier to distinguish it from another railway terminus opened by the Jersey Railway in 1873 at the Weighbridge in St Helier. The station was in passenger operation until the line closed in 1929. Today the site is occupied by the Snow Hill car park.
