Stoke-On-Trent (Cobridge) #2031 Free
This route covers 9.3 miles in about 28.9 minutes as a single stage, one of the longer drives from the Cobridge centre. It links Etruria, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Basford, Hartshill and Longport at 30, 40 and 50 mph. Its 18 sets of traffic lights place it among the busiest here for signals, while its 3 roundabouts are fewer than on many routes here.
Watch Out For
- Six 50 mph markers, so the limit changes often between the 30 mph sections.
- Three roundabouts, so give way to the right and signal left on exit, including one roundabout in the north.
- Two marked bike lanes to check for riders.
Route Features
- Etruria Road and Hartshill Road carry the southern leg.
- Queensway sits at the southern end of the loop.
- Five right turns against three left turns.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left is the marked manoeuvre, with mirrors, a signal and a stop parallel to the kerb.
Key Tips
- With 18 signals, read each light early so you are not braking late.
- Two 40 mph markers sit between the 30 and 50 mph stretches.
