A6144(M) motorway ceased being a special road on 25 May 2006 losing its motorway status. It is now subject to a 50 mph (80 km/h) speed limit and is classified as the A6144. The road through Sale retained the A6144 number, meaning that there are two branches (and two junctions with the M60 motorway) with the same road number.

There are agreed plans to create another crossing of the Thames in the East of London to ease congestion at the Dartford Crossing.
