Grantham (Somerby) #1141 Pro
Route 1141 covers 12.93 km in about 26 minutes through Cold Harbour and Earlesfield, with limits from 30 mph to 60 mph. It is one of the shortest tests here and has no roundabouts, yet it still carries nine sets of traffic signals, so the challenge is steady junction work rather than distance.
Watch Out For
- Nine sets of traffic signals over a short loop.
- Closely spaced turns near Dudley Road and Saint Catherine's Road.
- Town centre traffic around St Peter's Hill.
Route Features
- Seven left turns and six right turns in a compact distance.
- Residential turns through Cold Harbour Lane and Toll Bar Road.
- A return along High Dike.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left is set at High Dike.
Key Tips
- Read each set of lights early to keep a smooth flow.
- Signal in good time for the frequent turns.
