Northwich #1193 Pro
This 14.02 km route takes around 34 minutes through Winnington, Lostock Gralam, Marston, Witton and Castle, with limits from 20 to 50 mph. It is one of the busiest drives at this Northwich test centre, tied for the most roundabouts at five and carrying 23 sets of traffic signals across a compact town circuit. Expect heavy junction work rather than open road.
Watch Out For
- Nine give way junctions, so practise smooth observation and yielding.
- A pedestrian crossing where you must be ready to stop, near the crossing point.
- A very low speed shared section requiring near walking pace.
Route Features
- Five roundabouts, the joint highest here, where you give way to the right and signal left on exit.
- Five school zones with reduced limits and children about.
- Town driving along Winnington Lane and Watling Street.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left near the start area.
Key Tips
- Keep scanning ahead through the dense signals to time your approach.
- Position early for the frequent right turns, eight in total.
