This 22.49 km Poole route runs about 40 minutes through one stage, covering Canford Heath, Manning's Heath, Alderney, West Howe and Bear Cross. Speeds range from 30 to 50 mph. With five marked school areas it has the most school zones of any route at this centre, yet only 12 traffic signals, fewer than most longer Poole routes. Expect three roundabouts and seven left turns against just two rights.

Watch Out For

  • Five school areas including stretches on Adastral Road, where the limit drops and children may be crossing.
  • Six bike lanes shared with cyclists, so check mirrors before moving left.
  • Four give way junctions, including one on Old Wareham Road.
