Nottingham (Colwick) #997 Free
This 13.28 km single-stage route runs about 30 minutes through Carlton Hill, Netherfield, Gedling, Carlton and Thorneywood, mixing 20, 30 and 40 mph limits. With 10 sets of traffic signals it ties as one of the most signal-heavy routes at this centre, so steady light-to-light progress matters.
Watch Out For
- Five roundabouts where you give way to the right and signal left on exit.
- A 40 mph stretch along Conway Road where speed must rise smoothly with the limit.
- Busy junctions on Daleside Road carrying through traffic.
Route Features
- Six left and five right turns across residential and arterial streets.
- Narrow streets near Birch Avenue with parked cars.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left near the test centre.
Key Tips
- Check mirrors early before each of the 10 signal sets.
- Match the 40 mph limit promptly to avoid hesitation faults.
