Upton #1402 Pro
This single-stage route runs 17.47 km in about 38 minutes through Noctorum, with limits from 20 to 70 mph. It has twenty sets of traffic lights, one of the highest counts at the Upton test centre, so much of the drive is spent reading signals and busy junctions alongside its nine roundabouts.
Watch Out For
- Twenty sets of traffic lights, needing steady anticipation of the phases.
- The 70 mph section where speeds lift near Wallasey Road.
- Nine roundabouts; give way to the right and signal left on exit.
Route Features
- An even eight left and eight right turns across the drive.
- Residential climbs around Noctorum Avenue.
- Junction-heavy stretches near Shrewsbury Road.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left near the centre on Arrowe Park Road.
Key Tips
- Look well ahead to time the many lights and avoid harsh stops.
- Reset speed sharply between the 70 mph road and 20 mph streets.
