Nottingham (Colwick) #1042 Free
This 16.09 km route runs about 37 minutes from Colwick toward the city centre, taking in 20, 30 and 40 mph limits. With 26 traffic signals it carries by far the most signal-controlled junctions of any route at this office, so traffic light discipline is the defining challenge. It also has eight roundabouts as it loops through London Road and the busy Lower Parliament Street area.
Watch Out For
- The 26 traffic signals, many in quick succession near Queen's Road, where stopping and moving off smoothly matters.
- Lane discipline approaching Arkwright Street North.
- Heavier city traffic along Crocus Street.
Route Features
- Eight roundabouts and a 20 to 40 mph range.
- Returns via Daleside Road toward Colwick.
- Six left turns against five right turns.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left back near the test centre.
Key Tips
- Watch for amber early and keep a smooth, controlled stop at each signal.
- On roundabouts give way to the right and signal left on exit.
