Clacton-on-Sea #1834 Free
Covering 8.5 miles in about 24.4 minutes, this single stage sweeps west from the centre through Jaywick along Jaywick Lane and West Road, then north on Little Clacton Road and back via Centenary Way. Limits span 30 mph, 40 mph and 60 mph. With only four marked turns, three left and one right, it has the fewest turns of any route at this centre, so road positioning matters more than junction work.
Watch Out For
- Nineteen give way junctions, one of the highest counts here.
- Eight bike lane sections, so check the nearside before moving over.
- A school area on the western leg with a reduced limit and children about.
Route Features
- Five roundabouts, give way to the right and signal left on exit.
- One set of traffic lights and four pedestrian crossings.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left on a quiet road close to the centre.
Key Tips
- Hold a steady lane position on the long 60 mph stretches without drifting.
- Drop speed early where the limit falls to 30 mph coming back into town.
