Watch Out For
- A38 dual carriageway (70 mph). Longest fast section of any Ashfield route. Merge early, maintain speed, and watch for HGVs in the left lane.
- Northern Bridge Road to Outram Street. Tight residential streets with limited visibility at junctions. Creep forward at give way signs.
- School zone near Searby Road. 20 mph during school hours on a road that otherwise feels like 30.
- Pedestrian crossing on Kings Mill Road East. Watch for pedestrians pressing the button as you approach.
