Chorley #1242 Free
At 16.38 km and about 36 minutes, this is the longest route at the Chorley test centre, running in a single stage across Cowling, Chorley Moor, Adlington and Limbrick. Speeds range from 20 mph to 50 mph, and with only 3 roundabouts the challenge here is endurance and a long mix of open road and town driving rather than constant junctions.
Watch Out For
- A 50 mph stretch that needs early speed planning before the limit falls.
- Six traffic signals and five pedestrian crossings.
- Give way junctions where you yield to traffic from the right.
Route Features
- A long loop reaching Old School Lane and out along Long Lane.
- Town driving near Market Place.
- School zones with reduced limits and children present.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left near Brooke Street.
Key Tips
- Stay consistent over the longer distance and keep checking your speed.
- Drop back to 30 mph promptly when the 50 mph stretch ends.
- On roundabouts give way to the right and signal left on exit.
