Letchworth #1336 Free
This 9.9 mile route takes about 29 minutes across one stage and is one of the most traffic light heavy tests at the Letchworth centre, with 15 signalised junctions. It threads through Phoenix Park Estate, Westbury Estate, Ickleford, Walsworth and Purwell, mixing 30 mph residential roads, 40 mph links and a 60 mph section. There are six roundabouts to negotiate alongside all those lights.
Watch Out For
- Fifteen sets of traffic lights, so watch filter arrows and box junctions closely.
- Six roundabouts; give way to the right and signal left on exit.
- Cyclists and parked cars around Woolgrove Road and Purwell Lane.
Route Features
- Icknield Way and Station Road carry busier through traffic.
- The Ickleford and Walsworth streets bring steady 30 mph driving.
Test Manoeuvres
