Stoke-On-Trent (Cobridge) #2034 Free
This 9.1 mile route takes about 25 minutes in a single stage and runs out through Longport, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Porthill. Limits reach from 30 mph up to 70 mph, and with only six sets of traffic lights it has fewer signals than any other route from this office, so most of the assessment happens at speed rather than at junctions.
Watch Out For
- The jump from 30 mph town streets to 50 and 70 mph open road.
- Four roundabouts taken at higher approach speeds.
- Only five marked turns, so route following depends on reading signs early.
Route Features
- Fast running on Talke Road at the western end.
- Gradient and bends on Porthill Bank.
- Village shops on High Street and town traffic on Newcastle Street.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left near the end of the route.
Key Tips
- Use mirrors well before each speed change rather than braking late.
- Give way to the right at roundabouts and signal left on the exit.
