Route C140 (Staverton Road) starts at an intersection with route C136 and exits to the north-east. Route C138 (Olivers Road) starts at an intersection with route C136 and exits to the south.[4]

gollark: > A really, really difficult maze. It starts off relatively normal, but begins incorporating confusing transparent walls and mirrors, vertical movement, gravity manipulation, and even non-Euclidean geometry, unidirectional paths, walls shifting while you're inside, etc…
gollark: It has something like three things on it.
