At 19.3 km in around 31 minutes, this is one of the longest routes at Ipswich, reaching out to the rural villages of Bucklesham and Brightwell before returning through Kesgrave, Bixley and Broke Hall. The speed range is wide, from 30 mph residential streets up to 70 mph on the open road, with seven roundabouts and six sets of traffic lights along the way.

Watch Out For

  • Three school zones, including one near the school area where the limit drops and children may be crossing.
  • The change from fast rural road back to 30 mph housing estates, which needs early braking.

Route Features

You follow Bixley Road and Heath Road through north Ipswich, then loop east along Foxhall Road toward the villages.

Test Manoeuvres

Expect a pull up on the left back near the test centre.

Key Tips

Judge your approach speed carefully at the seven roundabouts, give way to the right, and signal left as you exit each one.
