Over 16.57 km in about 46 minutes, this route has the fewest roundabouts of any route at Ipswich, just three, but the most right turns, ten in total. It works through Priory Heath, Racecourse, Greenwich, Gainsborough and Ravenswood on 20 to 40 mph town roads, with twenty-nine sets of traffic lights and seven school zones.

Watch Out For

  • The ten right turns, several across oncoming traffic, so judge gaps carefully and position early.
  • Seven school zones and twenty-nine sets of lights on slow, busy streets.

Route Features

The drive passes Derby Road and Tomline Road, then heads into town on Woodbridge Road near a school zone.

Test Manoeuvres

Expect a pull up on the left during the test.

Key Tips

Because right turns dominate, use your mirrors and signals early, wait for a safe gap in oncoming traffic, and hold a steady 30 mph between the many lights.
