An 8.1 mile drive of about 26.6 minutes in one stage. It runs the seafront at Marine Parade East, then the western streets around Kings Road and Queens Road, before heading north on London Road. Limits work through 30 mph, 40 mph and 60 mph. Eight pedestrian crossings are marked, among the most of any route at this centre, so crossing observation shapes the whole drive.

Watch Out For

  • Two stop signs where the car must come to a complete halt.
  • Ten give way junctions across the loop.
  • Two marked school areas with reduced limits and children nearby.

Route Features

  • Three roundabouts, give way to the right and signal left on exit.
  • Two sets of traffic lights, more than most routes here carry.
  • Six left turns against five right turns, plus three bike lane sections.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • Scan the pavement early on the seafront where crossings come in quick succession.
  • Cover the brake as the 40 mph section drops back to 30 mph.
