Bletchley #1429 Pro
Route 1429 runs 20.46 km (about 33 minutes) in one stage through Bletchley, Old Bletchley, West Bletchley, Denbigh Hall, Redmoor and Beanhill, with limits from 30 to 70 mph. Its 13 traffic lights tie for the most of any route at this centre, and it is among the three longest routes here.
Watch Out For
- 13 traffic-light junctions, more than any other Bletchley route bar two.
- Right turns dominate (8 rights vs 3 lefts), so plan gaps early at busy junctions.
- 70 mph dual carriageway on H8 Standing Way and H5 Portway.
Route Features
- Grid roads H8 Standing Way, H5 Portway, V6 Grafton Street and V4 Watling Street link the estates.
- Residential stretch near Church Green Road close to the start.
- 4 roundabouts, 2 school areas and 19 separate 40 mph zones, the most of any route here.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left is practised near a residential stretch close to the start.
Key Tips
- Give way to the right at all 4 roundabouts, then signal left on exit.
- Slow down approaching the school area, children may be crossing.
- With 13 lights, expect phased changes and stop smoothly rather than rush an amber.
