Just after the start of the dual carriageway on Dartmouth Road, this entry to Waterside Road enables the cyclist to avoid the heavy traffic which often plagues the road. However, one of the lanes on the aforesaid dual carriageway has now been reserved solely for buses and cyclists. Nonetheless, the Waterside Road route towards Brixham is quieter and more interesting. Before the dual carriageway of Dartmouth Road was blasted through the hillside, this was the old road to Brixham from Paignton. Older people may remember what must have been a tortuous route in the car. In this picture, the coastal promotory in the Brixham direction can just be made out on the horizon..
