Lichfield #1343 Free
At 13.26 km and about 27.1 minutes, this single-stage route through Wall is one of the shorter drives at the Lichfield centre, yet it is one of the few here with two stop signs. Limits run the full range from 20 to 70 mph, with three roundabouts, seven sets of traffic lights and five right turns.
Watch Out For
- Two stop signs that each need a complete stop, including a stop sign on the rural approach.
- The open 70 mph stretch along Watling Street where speeds build quickly.
Route Features
- Only three roundabouts, fewer than most routes here; give way to the right and signal left on exit.
- A faster loop out on Wall Bypass before returning to town.
- Two 50 mph sections that follow the national-speed lanes.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left back near the centre.
Key Tips
- Plan your approach speed early on the rural roads and come to a genuine halt at each stop line.
