Letchworth #1368 Pro
At 7.3 miles this is the shortest route from the Letchworth test centre, about 25 minutes in a single stage. It stays close to town through Phoenix Park Estate, The Grange Estate and the Jubilee Industrial Centre, with limits from 20 up to 60 mph. It uses just 3 roundabouts, fewer than most Letchworth routes, so the work comes from 11 left turns on residential streets.
Watch Out For
- The 11 left turns outnumber the right turns, so set your mirrors and position early on roads like Baldock Road.
- Seven sets of traffic lights sit close together near the town centre.
- Watch the 40 mph section by the Jubilee Industrial Centre, flagged by a speed change.
Route Features
- Only 3 roundabouts, where you give way to the right and signal left on exit.
- Expect estate driving through Norton Way South and Hillshott, plus a short industrial stretch.
Test Manoeuvres
- Expect a pull up on the left, likely near Jackmans Place.
Key Tips
- With low limits and frequent turns, keep speed measured and read lane markings before each junction.
