At 18.19 km and about 40 minutes, this single-stage route is the longest of the current Upton set, running north with no named suburbs up toward the Wallasey streets. Speeds range from 20 to 70 mph and it carries eleven roundabouts, tying it among the busiest here for roundabouts, so it stays demanding throughout.

Watch Out For

  • The 70 mph running near Bidston Link Road, where merging speed is high.
  • Eleven roundabouts in all; give way to the right and signal left on exit.
  • Parked cars and side roads along Green Lane.

Route Features

  • Sixteen sets of traffic lights, one of the higher counts at this centre.
  • Four left and five right turns spread across the drive.
  • Tighter residential grid near Harrison Drive.

Key Tips

  • Pace yourself; at nearly 40 minutes this is a longer drive with sustained concentration.
