Sheffield (Handsworth) #617 Pro
This 17.6 km route heads west from Handsworth through Richmond and Stradbroke, north-west to Darnall via Prince of Wales Road, continues through Darnall Road into Attercliffe, then returns via Sheffield Parkway. With 33 traffic lights and 10 left turns, this heavily urban route tests city driving skills.
Watch Out For
The Attercliffe Road area has complex junctions with tram lines crossing. Darnall Road is busy with shops, buses and pedestrians. The give-way near Richmond Park leads onto a busy road with fast traffic.
Route Features
50 mph on Sheffield Parkway, urban 30 mph through Darnall and Attercliffe, residential 20 mph in Woodthorpe, 33 traffic lights (the most of any Handsworth route), 5 roundabouts, and 10 left turns.
Test Manoeuvres
Pull up on the left near Orgreave Way.
Key Tips
On Staniforth Road, watch for tram tracks crossing - do not brake on the rails. In Darnall, double-parked cars are common near shops. The 50 mph zone on Handsworth Road ends abruptly at the Parkway junction - slow in good time.
