Folkestone #1333 Free
Route 1333 covers 13.81 km in about 33 minutes with ten traffic light junctions, second only to route 1325 at this centre, yet just three roundabouts. It runs through St Martin's Plain, Cheriton and Shorncliffe Heights, with limits from 20 up to 70 mph.
Watch Out For
- Ten signalled junctions where you read light phases and lane arrows early.
- Six school zones with reduced limits and children present, the most in this batch.
- Two give way lines where you judge gaps before joining.
Route Features
- Only three roundabouts despite the busy signalled junctions.
- A rural loop out along Cheriton High Street and Horn Street.
- Town turns near Bouverie Square.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left near the test centre.
Key Tips
- Time your approach to each light on Risborough Lane to avoid harsh braking.
- Keep speed low through the school zones and watch for children.
