This 19.06 km route takes about 31.3 minutes in a single stage, covering Old Bletchley, West Bletchley, Denbigh Hall, Redmoor and Granby before reaching into Central Milton Keynes. Speeds run from 30 mph up to national 60 and 70 mph, with no 20 mph zone. It ties for the most traffic lights at this centre, 13 in total.

Watch Out For

  • 13 traffic-light junctions, so keep checking mirrors and anticipate the phase changes early.
  • A school zone near Bletchley, watch for children and reduced visibility.
  • Four give way junctions and a pedestrian crossing on the approach back into town.

Route Features

The route leaves Bletchley along V7 Saxon Street towards Central Milton Keynes, passing Midsummer Boulevard, then loops back via H8 Standing Way. Three roundabouts and three bike lane crossings sit along the way, give way to the right and watch for cyclists.

Test Manoeuvres

Examiners use this route for the pull up on the left manoeuvre near the start point, close to Wilton Avenue.

Key Tips

  • Anticipate the amber phase early rather than braking hard at each light.
  • Build speed smoothly on the 60 and 70 mph sections, then slow in good time for junctions.
