At 11.7 miles and about 37 minutes, this is one of the longest routes from the Letchworth test centre, run as a single stage. It links Phoenix Park Estate, the Jubilee Industrial Centre and Lordship Estate, with limits from 20 up to 60 mph. What sets it apart is traffic: it carries 17 sets of lights, the most of any Letchworth route, alongside 10 roundabouts and slightly more right turns than left.

Watch Out For

  • Six give way junctions test your observation, including a give way on the estate approach.
  • A school area sits on the southern loop, where the limit drops and children may be crossing.
  • The busy light sequences demand smooth stop-start control through town.

Route Features

  • Ten roundabouts, where you give way to the right and signal left on exit.
  • An industrial stretch runs past Jubilee Road and Works Road, with a marked bike lane near Baldock Road.
  • Speed lifts to 40 and 50 mph on the outer links.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • With so many lights, cover the brake and read each sequence ahead. Keep lane discipline through the roundabouts.
