This 21.1 km route takes about 36 minutes across Denbigh East, Mount Farm, Denbigh North, Ashland and Netherfield in a single stage, with limits from 20 mph residential streets up to 70 mph. It is the second-longest test route at this centre, and the most one-sided for turns of any route here, 12 lefts against just 3 rights.

Watch Out For

  • Nine sets of traffic lights, more than most routes from this office, so expect frequent stop-and-go through town.
  • Five give-way junctions, including a give-way junction where traffic can appear quickly from the right.
  • Three 10 mph waypoints cluster together near the centre, ease off early rather than braking hard.

Route Features

  • Only 3 roundabouts, including the Roman Roundabout, so most direction changes come from junctions and lights rather than roundabout lane discipline.
  • A stretch of H8 Standing Way reaches the 70 mph limit before the route winds back into residential Ashland and Netherfield.
  • One school area carries a reduced limit with likely children nearby.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • With 12 lefts to 3 rights, scan early for left-hand junctions and cyclists on the inside rather than expecting a balanced mix.
  • Nine light sets mean mixed timing through town, approach each ready to stop rather than assuming a green run.
