Sheffield (Handsworth) #613 Free
This 15.8 km route heads east through Swallownest, then south-east on Mosborough Parkway to Owlthorpe and Hackenthorpe, loops through Birley and Frecheville, returning north via Normanton Hill and Handsworth Road. The route covers the southern suburbs with 50 mph Parkway driving and extensive 20 mph residential zones.
Watch Out For
The Moorthorpe Way estate roads have tight corners and speed humps. Birley Moor Road has parked cars on both sides narrowing the road significantly. The give-way near Richmond Park has traffic approaching from a curve.
Route Features
50 mph on Mosborough Parkway, 40 mph on Chesterfield Road, residential estates in Hackenthorpe and Birley, 4 roundabouts, 23 traffic lights, and varied road types from dual carriageway to narrow estate roads.
Test Manoeuvres
Pull up on the left near Orgreave Way.
Key Tips
On Moorthorpe Gate, watch for children near the park. The Normanton Hill / Woodhouse Road junction is a busy intersection - position correctly for the right turn. Keep momentum on Mosborough Parkway at 50 mph without exceeding the limit.
