Bridgend #1563 Pro
Covering 19.38 km in about 42 minutes, this is the longest route by time from Bridgend, reaching out to Pen-y-cae, Sarn, Aberkenfig and Pen-y-fai at limits from 20 to 60 mph. It also has the most roundabouts of any drive here, 14 in all, plus five school zones.
Watch Out For
- Fourteen roundabouts, giving way to the right and signalling left on exit.
- Five school zone areas where the limit drops and children may be about.
- The longer 42 minute drive, which asks for steady concentration throughout.
Route Features
- A climb through the village of Sarn on Sarn Hill.
- Open 50 mph running near Heol Simonston to the north.
Test Manoeuvres
- You may be asked to pull up on the left and move away again.
Key Tips
- Plan your lane and exit at each roundabout well before the give way line.
- Drop your speed early for every school zone and look for children at the kerb.
