Clacton-on-Sea #1843 Pro
This 7.9 mile route runs about 27 minutes in one stage, working north east through Gorse Lane and Sladburys Lane, down to Turpins Avenue and back via Centenary Way. Limits run from 30 to 60 mph. With only seven turns it asks for less steering than most routes at this office, but its two sets of traffic lights match the highest signal count here.
Watch Out For
- Six roundabouts, one of the higher counts at this centre, on a short loop.
- Four school zone markers with reduced limits and children near the road.
- Eight marked cycle lane sections, so check the nearside before every left turn.
Route Features
- Seven turns only, two left and five right, so most progress is straight line driving.
- A 60 mph section on the open roads, with six give way junctions in total.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left, choosing a spot clear of driveways and junctions.
Key Tips
- Give way to the right at each roundabout and signal left on exit.
- Long straight sections make it easy to drift over the limit, so check the speedometer often.
