Worcester #1480 Pro
Route 1480 is a 15.45 km, 33.2 minute drive in one stage, and the only Worcester route to reach Barbourne, alongside Warndon, Blackpole, Fernhill Heath, Claines and Perdiswell. Limits span 20 to 70 mph. Eleven sets of traffic lights make it one of the more signal-heavy runs here, balanced by just six roundabouts.
Watch Out For
- Eleven sets of traffic lights, several in quick succession near the city edge.
- A 20 mph section demanding careful speed control.
- A school zone with a reduced limit and children nearby.
Route Features
- Droitwich Road and Ombersley Road feed busier through-traffic.
- Estate approaches near Blackpole Road keep to 30 mph.
Test Manoeuvres
- Expect a pull up on the left close to the test centre.
Key Tips
- Time your approach to each signal so you can stop smoothly or clear on green.
