At 14.14 km and about 31 minutes, this is the shortest route in the current Upton set, working through Noctorum and Woodchurch at a steady 30 to 40 mph. Even so it carries nineteen sets of traffic lights, a high count for its length, while keeping to just three roundabouts, the fewest offered here.

Watch Out For

  • Nineteen sets of traffic lights packed into a short route, so anticipate the phases.
  • Residential turns off Noctorum Lane with parked cars.
  • Three roundabouts; give way to the right and signal left on exit.

Route Features

  • Five left and eight right turns, weighted to the right.
  • Steady urban driving at 30 to 40 mph throughout.
  • Junction sequences around Boundary Road.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • Look several lights ahead so you flow rather than stop at each one.
  • Hold lane position through the closely spaced turns near Tollemache Road.
