Burton on Trent #1170 Free
This 14.2 km rural loop covers Barton-under-Needwood and Tatenhill in about 21 minutes, and like only two other routes here it reaches an 80 mph limit. With just 1 left and 3 right turns it has the fewest junction turns of this group, so the focus is firmly on handling fast open roads through 7 roundabouts and 7 sets of traffic lights. Speeds range from 30 to 80 mph.
Watch Out For
- National speed limit stretches where lane discipline counts.
- Two give way junctions near Station Road.
- Limit drops into the villages along Dunstall Road.
Route Features
- 7 roundabouts: give way to the right and signal left on exit.
- Long 60 mph countryside running on Lichfield Road.
- Open carriageway leading out on Branston Road.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left near the test centre.
Key Tips
- Match your speed to the posted limit, not the traffic ahead.
- Look well ahead on the fast bends.
