Stoke-On-Trent (Cobridge) #2038 Pro
Route 2038 covers 7.8 miles in roughly 26 minutes across Longport, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Etruria, Sneyd Green and Smallthorne, with limits between 30 and 50 mph. Its 19 sets of traffic lights make it one of the most signal heavy routes at this test centre.
Watch Out For
- Nineteen signal controlled junctions mean repeated stopping and moving off, often on a gradient.
- Three cycle lane sections run alongside the traffic, so check the nearside before every left turn.
- The limit steps up to 40 and then 50 mph on the Etruria stretch before dropping back to 30 mph.
Route Features
- Etruria Road carries the fastest traffic on the route at 50 mph.
- Potteries Way is a multi lane ring road with closely spaced signals.
- Sneyd Hill climbs away towards Smallthorne at 30 mph.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left is set on residential kerbside near the finish.
Key Tips
- Only 5 turns in total, so the signals and 5 roundabouts set the difficulty.
- Give way to the right on the roundabouts and signal left on the exit.
