Clacton-on-Sea #1840 Pro
This 8.9 mile route runs about 30 minutes in one stage, dropping south to the seafront at Marine Parade East, crossing the town via Alton Park Road, then heading north on Little Clacton Road. Limits range from 30 to 60 mph. Its two sets of traffic lights match the highest signal count of any reviewed route at this office.
Watch Out For
- Seventeen give way junctions, the busiest part of this route for priority decisions.
- Two stop signs, such as this one, needing a full stop behind the line.
- Seven school zone markers and five pedestrian crossings.
Route Features
- Twelve turns, seven left and five right, plus four roundabouts.
- A mix of seafront roads, residential streets and open road out towards Little Clacton.
- Four marked cycle lane sections along the northern half.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left, then move off with a full blind spot check.
Key Tips
- Give way to the right at roundabouts and signal left as you leave.
- Parked cars on the seafront streets narrow the road, so hold back for oncoming traffic.
