Dartmouth Road, close to Three Beaches
Dartmouth Road, close to Three Beaches
The dual carriageway ends as it approaches Three Beaches and Goodrington. It was built in the days when the needs of the car driver were the guiding principle of all road construction. This road was driven through a solid cliff to make the progress from Paignton to Brixham easier and swifter. Much has changed and today's climate of traffic management sees one of the two lanes on each side totally closed to cars, allowing only buses and bicycles and a speed limit overall of 30 mph. Bravo!
