This 13.93 km, 32.7 minute single-stage route runs from Private Road No. 3 out through Colwick, Netherfield, Carlton and Thorneywood, mixing 20, 30 and 40 mph limits. With 11 sets of traffic signals it carries more lights than most routes at this centre, so junction timing is the main challenge here.

Watch Out For

  • Five roundabouts where you give way to the right and signal left on exit.
  • The busy 40 mph stretch along Daleside Road.
  • Frequent signal-controlled junctions on Carlton Hill.

Route Features

  • Seven right turns versus five left, plus tighter residential streets around Manvers Street.
  • A 40 mph section signed near Conway Road.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • Read the speed limit change at each junction; the three limits switch often.
  • Position early for the right turns and keep checking mirrors before signals.
