Stoke-On-Trent (Cobridge) #2028 Pro
At 7.1 miles this is the shortest route from this office, yet it still takes about 28 minutes because everything happens in 30 mph streets across Smallthorne, Sneyd Green and Joiner's Square. It carries 17 sets of traffic lights and 16 marked turns, so progress is slow and junction work is constant.
Watch Out For
- Six give way junctions, more than most routes from this office.
- Five marked cycle lanes, so check the nearside mirror before every left turn.
- A school area where the limit drops and children may be near the kerb.
Route Features
- Hill work on Sneyd Hill and Hanley Road.
- Narrow residential driving on Birches Head Road.
- Older terraced streets around Bucknall Old Road with parked cars on both sides.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left near the end of the route.
Key Tips
- Only two roundabouts appear, so save your attention for the light controlled junctions.
- Use hill starts and clutch control on the steeper residential turns.
