A1058 road
The A1058, known locally as the Coast Road, is a major road in Newcastle upon Tyne and the adjoining borough of North Tyneside in North East England. It runs from the Newcastle Central Motorway to the coast, terminating between Whitley Bay and Tynemouth. From west to east it connects Newcastle city centre with Jesmond, Heaton, Wallsend, Battle Hill, Howdon, Meadow Well, North Shields, Whitley Bay and Tynemouth. The road has existed since December 1924, when it was opened by then-transport minister Wilfrid Ashley.
For five miles (8 kilometres) of its eight-mile (12.5 kilometre) route it is a full urban dual carriageway with grade separated interchanges and, for four of those miles, was a 70-mile-per-hour (110 km/h) national speed limit road. As of October 2023, the speed limit has been reduced to 50 miles per hour (80 km/h). However, it is not built to full UK standards for motorway-style roads, as it has too many entrances and exits and most of its sliproads have pedestrian crossings.
