Northwich #1196 Free
Covering 17.12 km in about 29 minutes, this route heads north through Winnington, Barnton and Little Leigh out to Acton Bridge and Bartington. Speeds reach 60 mph and, unusually for a route this long, it has no roundabouts at all, so the test is built around open-road judgement and a single give-way rather than junction chaining.
Watch Out For
- The one give-way near Wallerscote Road.
- Three school zones with reduced limits and children present, including one near Winnington Lane.
- National-limit 60 mph stretches near Warrington Road with bends.
Route Features
- Nine left and eight right turns spread across rural villages.
- Five traffic-signal sets to anticipate.
- Country lanes near Acton Lane.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left near Alderley Road, parked close to the kerb.
Key Tips
- Read the road far ahead on the 60 mph sections and ease off for bends and junctions.
- Position early for the village turns where sightlines are short.
