Covering 18.27 km in about 37 minutes, this route has twelve roundabouts, the most of any route at Ipswich, along with twenty-one sets of traffic lights. It runs through Wherstead, Stoke, Greenwich, Gainsborough, Racecourse and Priory Heath, with speeds from 30 mph up to 70 mph on the faster stretches.

Watch Out For

  • The sheer number of roundabouts, where you plan your lane and exit early and give way to the right.
  • Twenty-one traffic lights, several close together, so watch for queues and changing signals.

Route Features

The drive follows Wherstead Road toward the waterfront, then heads through town on Bridge Street and Star Lane, passing a school zone.

Test Manoeuvres

Expect a pull up on the left near the end.

Key Tips

Keep your positioning tidy through the many roundabouts, signal left as you leave, and look well ahead so the frequent lights do not catch you out.
