Grantham (Somerby) #1152 Free
At 24.22 km in about 37.5 minutes, this is the longest route at the Grantham (Somerby) test centre, reaching Great Gonerby and Gonerby Moor. It runs across a full 30 to 70 mph range and carries 5 roundabouts, the joint most of any route here, plus 9 traffic signals.
Watch Out For
- Five roundabouts, the highest at this centre, giving way to the right and signalling left on exit.
- The 70 mph dual stretches on Great North Road, building speed safely then easing for junctions.
- The longer distance, which means sustained concentration to the finish.
Route Features
- Starts on High Dike and runs north past Gonerby Road.
- Town section through High Street and Castlegate.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left near High Dike, with mirror and signal checks before stopping.
Key Tips
- Approach each of the five roundabouts in the correct lane and signal early.
- On the 70 mph road, keep a safe following distance and plan your exits ahead.
