This 12.09 km, 29-minute route is one of the busiest for turning at Brentwood, with nine left and ten right turns packed into the streets around The Galleries. The limit stays low, mostly 20 to 30 mph, and there are only three traffic signals, so give-way judgement matters more than reading lights.

Watch Out For

• Two pedestrian crossings where you must be ready to stop.
• Five school areas with reduced limits and children about.
• Two give-way junctions turning onto busier roads.

Route Features

• The roundabout here, give way to the right and signal left on exit.
• Residential roads such as Queen's Road and Doddinghurst Road.

Test Manoeuvres

• Expect a pull up on the left on a quiet street.

Key Tips

• Plan each turn early and keep checking mirrors, as the frequent junctions leave little settling time.
