Chippenham #1124 Free
Covering 14.91 km in around 30.3 minutes, this single-stage route reaches out to Kington Langley before returning through Chippenham, with limits running from 30 all the way to 70 mph. It has only two roundabouts, the fewest of the routes covered here, but the most give way junctions at this centre with 17, so junction reading matters more than roundabout work.
Watch Out For
- A school area with a reduced limit and children likely near the kerb.
- A stop sign where a full halt behind the line is required.
- The 70 mph open section, where you build speed safely then ease back for the town limits.
Route Features
- 17 give way junctions, by far the most at this office, demanding constant observation.
- Mostly right turns, 7 against just 1 left, so position early.
- Roads include Malmesbury Road and Plough Lane out toward the village.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left is likely, with a safe rejoin afterwards.
Key Tips
- Slow well before the school area and scan both pavements.
- Treat every give way as a fresh decision, looking right and easing forward only when clear.
