Commuters from Worthing have been branded antisocial by campaigners trying to stop a road scheme.
The A24 Alliance said traffic on the road was making village life impossible and a modernised road would make the problem worse.
Spokesman Peter Finch said a recent meeting heard the West Sussex County Council plans would increase traffic and problems caused by noise and exhaust fumes.
He said: "It was claimed that Worthing was the villain generating all the extra traffic, with the town's expanding housing estates producing many long-distance commuters using the A24 to get to the M25 and beyond."
