This 19.55 km route runs about 41 minutes in a single stage and is the most turn-heavy test route at Bletchley, with 21 turns (15 left, 6 right), more than any other local route. It leaves the centre along Wilton Avenue onto V7 Saxon Street, then runs out through Denbigh East, Simpson, Tinkers Bridge, Passmore and Netherfield, with limits from 30 mph in town up to 70 mph on H8 Standing Way.

Watch Out For

  • Just one set of traffic lights on the whole route, so most junctions are give way or roundabout priority calls.
  • Seven give way junctions and two pedestrian crossings around Denbigh East and Simpson.
  • Three School Zone 40 sections with a reduced limit and children near the gates.

Route Features

  • Six roundabouts on the route, most clustered around Denbigh East and North Street.
  • A dual carriageway stretch on H8 Standing Way that carries the route up to the 70 mph national limit.
  • Three separate 10 mph sections mixed among the wider 30-40 mph suburban roads.

Test Manoeuvres

Examiners use a pull up on the left stop close to the centre on Wilton Avenue, so expect a kerbside stop and move-off check.

Key Tips

  • With 21 turns and only one light, signal early and keep checking mirrors since priority keeps changing.
  • Give way to the right at each roundabout and signal left on exit.
  • Watch the sudden drop from 40 to 10 mph at a give way junction near Netherfield.
