Mobile Tyre Fitting in Peterborough

Peterborough is built around a parkway network — fast dual carriageways that ring and cross the city, connecting the townships to the centre and to the A1.

Roads we get called to around Peterborough

• A1(M) and A1 — the main north-south route along the western edge.
• A47 — east towards Wisbech and Norfolk, west towards Leicester.
• The parkways — Nene, Fletton, Frank Perkins, Soke and Paston, plus the A15.
• Distribution and industrial units around the eastern side of the city.

Name the parkway

Like Milton Keynes, the local network has its own vocabulary and it is genuinely the most useful thing you can give us. "Frank Perkins Parkway heading east, just before the A1139 junction" is precise. "On the parkway" is not, because there are several.

Fast roads with limited refuge

The parkways run at national speed limit with junctions rather than traffic lights, and the verge width varies. Get as far left as you can, get out on the passenger side, and stand well back.

On the A1 itself, treat it as a motorway even where it is not designated as one: same speeds, same risks, same advice about getting behind the barrier before you call.
