Canterbury #1303 Pro
Route 1303 is one of the longer tests at this Canterbury centre, covering 19.95 km in around 35 minutes over a single stage. It threads through Longport, St. Mildred's, St. Dunstan's, Harbledown, Rough Common and Wincheap, with limits from 20 mph up to a 50 mph stretch, one of only a few routes here to reach that speed.
Watch Out For
- A school area with a reduced limit where children may be crossing, so slow early.
- Twelve sets of traffic lights, more than most routes at this centre.
- A single stop sign that needs a full stop.
Route Features
- Six roundabouts, giving way to the right and signalling left on exit.
- Whitstable Road carries steady through traffic.
- Nine give way junctions and thirteen cycle lane sections to monitor.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left is likely near the centre.
Key Tips
- Plan gear and speed for the 50 mph section, then settle back for town limits.
