The character of Kettering
The centre around the Market Place is a compact pedestrianised core surrounded by a straightforward one-way system, so cars wait on Silver Street or one of the nearby side roads. The Venture Park and Telford Way industrial estates on the town's edge have their own wide access roads and are simple to work by comparison. Rockingham Road and the approach from the A14 both carry heavy commercial traffic through the working day.
- The Market Place is pedestrianised; cars wait on Silver Street and move in on request.
- Venture Park and Telford Way business pickups use the estate's own access roads.
- The A14 is the main constraint for any long-distance departure, at either peak.
- Silverstone race weekends add real delay on the A43 through the summer.
