Bletchley #1434 Free
This 12.9 km (about 8 mile) test from Bletchley test centre runs as a single stage of roughly 30 minutes, covering Water Eaton Road and the Denbigh East area before heading back through town. Speed limits range from 20 mph residential streets up to 70 mph, and this route is marked with 20 roundabout waypoints, more than any other test route from this centre.
Watch Out For
- Four give way junctions, including one near the town centre where traffic can bunch up
- Two pedestrian crossings, check well ahead and be ready to stop
- Three short 10 mph stretches and two school zone areas where children may be nearby
Route Features
- Only 2 sets of traffic lights, most junctions are controlled by give way signs or roundabouts instead
- Three bike lane sections, watch for cyclists on the approach
- Passes through Bletchley, Water Eaton and Denbigh East
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left is practised close to the test centre, a straightforward kerbside stop and move-off check
Key Tips
- With roundabouts this frequent, check mirrors early and give way to traffic already on the roundabout coming from the right
- Signal left on the exit at each roundabout so following drivers know your intention in good time
