Every stop on the M23

The M23 is one of the UK's shortest motorways, running 16 miles from junction 7 on the M25 south through Gatwick Airport (junction 9A) to Crawley and Pease Pottage. There are no full motorway services directly on the M23 itself, but Pease Pottage Moto services sit just minutes off junction 11, offering fuel, food, and facilities for travellers heading to or from the airport or Brighton. Clacket Lane and Reigate Hill services serve the northern end near the M25 junction.

HGV parking on the M23

The M23 is not a major freight corridor, and HGV traffic is moderate compared to busier motorways. Pease Pottage Moto services do provide some HGV bays and facilities for lorry drivers who need to stop. For longer journeys or dedicated HGV facilities, drivers are generally better served using the M25 junctions or alternative routes. The short length of the M23 means most commercial traffic passes through without stopping.
