Clacton-on-Sea #1839 Pro
This 8.6 mile drive takes about 29 minutes in a single stage, leaving the test centre streets and working east through the seafront area on Marine Parade East, then north via Valley Road and out to Centenary Way. Limits run from 30 to 60 mph. It has eight right turns, as many as any reviewed route at this office, but fewer than half the roundabouts of the busiest one here.
Watch Out For
- Six school zone markers, including this one, where the limit drops and children cross.
- Eleven give way junctions and four roundabouts.
- Eight marked cycle lane sections, so check the nearside before turning left.
Route Features
- Fourteen turns, six left and eight right, over a compact loop.
- One set of traffic lights only, with give way lines doing most of the work.
- Two pedestrian crossings on the residential sections.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left, using a safe, legal and convenient spot.
Key Tips
- At each roundabout give way to the right and signal left on exit.
- The 60 mph sections arrive quickly after 30 mph streets, so build speed early.
