Poole #1218 Pro
At 28.84 km and about 64 minutes, this is the longest route at the Poole test centre, running over one stage through Stanley Green, Oakdale, Longfleet, Parkstone, Lilliput and Canford Cliffs. Speeds range from 30 to 50 mph. It carries 31 traffic signals, among the busiest here, plus three pedestrian crossings and a stop sign, so junction reading and traffic light timing are constant work.
Watch Out For
- A stop sign that needs a full stop with the car stationary before you move off.
- Three pedestrian crossings, including one near a busy junction.
- Six bike lanes shared with cyclists, mirror check before any move left.
Route Features
- Four roundabouts. Give way to the right and signal left on the way out.
- A coastal leg towards Canford Cliffs Road and Haven Road.
- Town turns via High Street North.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left exercise near the centre.
Key Tips
- Watch the lights well ahead and ease off early when one starts to change.
- Stop fully at the stop line and scan both pavements at every crossing.
