Stirling #1556 Pro
Route 1556 is the longest at this office, covering 16.66 km in about 35 minutes as a single stage through Kings Park, Raploch, Braehead and St Ninians. Limits run from 20 all the way to 60 mph, making it the only Stirling route to reach the national speed limit.
Watch Out For
- Five roundabouts, more than any other route here, each giving way to the right and signalling left on exit, including one mid-route.
- Six school areas with reduced limits and children, the most of the two routes.
- The 60 mph section where you must build and hold speed safely.
Route Features
- Runs through Raploch Road and the Raploch estate.
- Crosses Millennium Way on the western loop.
- Only eight turns overall, fewer than route 1555, but longer straights at higher speed.
Test Manoeuvres
- Expect a pull up on the left and a controlled return to the road.
Key Tips
- Plan mirror and signal work well ahead on the five roundabouts.
- Match your speed to each change as limits step up to 60 mph and back down near the schools.
