Route 1133 covers 18.78 km in about 31 minutes through Barrowby Road and the suburbs of Cold Harbour, Green Hill, Barrowby and Beeden Park, with limits ranging from 30 mph up to 70 mph. Unlike the town centre routes here, this one carries you onto fast 70 mph stretches, one of only a handful at this centre to do so.

Watch Out For

  • Three roundabouts where you give way to the right and signal left on exit.
  • Eight sets of traffic signals across the drive, several in built up sections.
  • The transition from 30 mph residential streets onto 50 mph and 70 mph roads near High Road.

Route Features

  • Seven right turns and five left turns spread over the loop.
  • A long 50 mph corridor returning toward High Dike.
  • Residential approaches through Harrowby Road.

Test Manoeuvres

  • A pull up on the left is set at High Dike, on a 50 mph road so check mirrors and signal early.

Key Tips

  • Build speed confidently on the 70 mph sections but keep a safe following gap.
  • Plan roundabout lanes well ahead of each entry.
