Stirling #1555 Free
Route 1555 covers 11.15 km in about 29 minutes as a single stage, threading through St Ninians, Borestone, Braehead, Raploch and Kings Park with limits from 20 up to 50 mph. With 17 turns it is the more turn-heavy of the two Stirling routes despite being the shorter one.
Watch Out For
- Three roundabouts where you give way to the right and signal left on exit, including a busy one in the south.
- Five traffic signals and 13 give-way junctions demand steady observation.
- A school area with a reduced limit and children crossing.
Route Features
- Runs along St Ninians Road through the town's southern suburbs.
- Joins the faster Glasgow Road where the limit climbs toward 50 mph.
- Speed limits step through 20, 30, 40 and 50 mph zones.
Test Manoeuvres
- Expect a pull up on the left and a safe move back into traffic.
Key Tips
- Position early for the give-way junctions and check mirrors before each of the 17 turns.
- On the 50 mph sections keep a steady following distance and watch for the drop back to 30 mph.
