Folkestone #1309 Free
Route 1309 is a calm 10.24 km drive of about 22 minutes, the shortest run time at Folkestone, staying within Coolinge and Shorncliffe Heights at 20 to 30 mph. It has the fewest roundabouts of any route here, only 2, and includes a stop sign, so it suits a controlled, unhurried style. There are 3 sets of traffic lights and five gentle turns across one stage.
Watch Out For
- A full stop is required at a stop sign, uncommon in this area.
- Six reduced-limit school zones bring children close to the kerb.
- Four bike lanes call for careful mirror and blind-spot checks.
Route Features
- Residential streets around Sandgate Road and Royal Military Avenue.
- A quieter western stretch on Seabrook Road, with two roundabouts and one give way.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left is expected.
Key Tips
- Approach the stop sign ready to halt fully and keep speeds low through the school zones.
