Forfar #2728 Free
This 5.9-mile route takes about 18 minutes in a single stage, passing through Easterbank, Kingsmuir, Lownie Moor and Caldhame with speed limits from 30 mph up to 60 mph. It is the only route listed for the Forfar centre, so it has to cover the full range of speeds on its own.
Watch Out For
There are 17 turns in total, 7 left and 10 right, so right turns clearly outnumber left ones. Two traffic lights add to the workload, and the jump from 30 mph to 60 mph needs early, smooth speed changes.
Route Features
- Town roads such as Academy Street and South Street.
- Faster driving out along the B9128 and Lour Road.
Test Manoeuvres
The route includes a stop where you pull up on the left. Check mirrors, signal, and park parallel to the edge of the road.
Key Tips
- Plan your lane position early for the many right turns.
- Check the limit sign every time the speed changes.
