The A282 runs parallel on either side of the M25 north of Junction 2 to/from Junction 1b and, to the north of Junction 1b, merges with the northern end of M25 south of the Dartford Crossing; the Crossing and the orbital route immediately north and south of the river are designated as the A282.
Blackdale Farm Cottages are situated west of the A282 and the M25 in the north-west quadrant of Junction 2.
The road would then curve to the east and be carried over Green Street Green Road on a new viaduct parallel and of similar elevation to the existing Littledale Viaduct, before merging into the A2 eastbound.

  ABD - Dartford Crossing Tolls
It is fundamentally unacceptable in a free society that any government should attempt to use road tolls in order to discourage travel; or as is increasingly the case, to enforce a particular political ideology.
Despite our serious objections to the proposed extension of the tolls, the ABD observes that in the current political climate roads are perversely regarded as some kind of problem rather than as the primary arteries of the country.
It is unacceptable that road users should be forced to subsidize other forms of transport.

  Anomalously numbered roads in Great Britain at AllExperts
In the Great Britain road numbering scheme, Great Britain is divided into numbered zones, the boundaries of which are usually defined by single-digit roads.
Roads in bold lie completely outside of the "correct" zone; all other roads run for some length in the "correct" zones but trespass into zones anticlockwise of this zone.
The A282, which completes the circle mostly formed by the M25, is incorrectly numbered; it proceeds into the A-road 1-zone incorrectly.

To the east of London, the toll crossing of the Thames between Thurrock and Dartford is the non-motorway A282.
While this is more a structural than a logical issue, at junction 5 near Sevenoaks continuing around the M25 requires the driver to follow the slip roads, as the anticlockwise carriageway continues as the M26 to the east (towards the M20) and the clockwise as the A21 towards the south coast.
Parts of the two outer ring roads, Ringways 3 and 4, were begun in 1973 and became the first two sections of the M25 to open in 1975 (junction 23 to junction 24) and 1976 (junction 6 to junction 8).

Most European countries use the E-Roads on top of their own national road network, with intermittent signage to advise drivers they are still on the same road.
Intermediate roads have two-digit odd (north-south) and two-digit even (west-east) numbers between the numbers of the reference roads between which they are located.
Class-B roads have three-digit numbers, the first digit being that of the nearest reference road to the north, the second digit being that of the nearest reference road to the west, and the third digit being a serial number.

 Dartford River Crossing: 7 Nov 2006: Westminster Hall debates (TheyWorkForYou.com)
According to Kent county council, the A282 Dartford crossing approach road is the busiest stretch of road in the county, with approximately 150,000 vehicles using the route each day.
If the crossing incorporated a rail link as well as a road link, it would help to encourage more businesses to transfer their cargo from road to rail, particularly if the crossing is well connected with the proposed development at Shell Haven and is properly integrated into the national rail network.
It was first proposed as long ago as the 1960s, as part of the "Roads to Prosperity" programme and it was a key transport objective in "Action in the East Thames Corridor", one of the earliest planning documents relating to the Thames Gateway, which SERPLAN—the London and South East Regional Planning Conference—published in 1990.
