Telford #1650 Free
Route 1650 covers 14.23 km in about 23 minutes as a single stage through Donnington, Ketley, Hadley and Trench Lock, with limits of 30, 40 and 50 mph. It is one of the quickest routes at the Telford centre, yet it still packs 11 sets of traffic signals into a compact loop, so the pace stays busy despite the short distance.
Watch Out For
- 11 traffic-light junctions on a short route, meaning frequent stops close together.
- A 50 mph stretch where you build and hold speed safely.
- Only one left and two right turns, so positioning for the rights matters.
Route Features
- A run along New Trench Road linking the estates.
- A section on Castle Street near Hadley.
- Four roundabouts, each give way to the right with a left signal on exit.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left is expected near the Hortonwood roads.
Key Tips
- Anticipate the closely spaced lights to keep stops smooth.
- Set up early and check mirrors before each right turn.
