This single-stage route covers 17.58 km in about 38 minutes, running north with no named suburbs and limits from 20 to 70 mph. Like only two other routes at Upton it passes a school zone, and with eight roundabouts and fourteen sets of traffic lights the workload shifts often between fast roads and busy junctions.

Watch Out For

  • A school zone with a reduced limit and children who may be crossing.
  • The 70 mph section approaching Fender Lane, judging merges and lane discipline.
  • Eight roundabouts; give way to the right and signal left on exit.

Route Features

  • Fourteen sets of traffic lights across the drive.
  • Six left and eight right turns, weighted to the right.
  • Arterial running along Hoylake Road.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • Drop speed early for the swing from 70 mph roads into 20 and 30 mph streets.
  • Approach the school area prepared to give way to pedestrians.
