Route 1143 covers 19.06 km in about 29 minutes through Cold Harbour, Harrowby, Alma Park, Cherry Orchard, Harrowby Estate and Green Hill, with limits from 30 mph up to 70 mph. It shares the highest signal count in this batch at 11 sets, and it is one of only three routes here that include a school zone.

Watch Out For

  • The School Zone 40, a school area with a reduced limit and children who may cross.
  • Eleven sets of traffic signals across the loop.
  • Six give way junctions, including those near High Dike.

Route Features

  • Four roundabouts, give way to the right and signal left on exit.
  • A bike lane to watch when turning across it.
  • Fast 70 mph stretches near Harlaxton Road.
