This 16.73 km route runs about 40.8 minutes across a single stage, covering Spencer, St James' End and Brackmills. Speed limits range from 20 mph up to 60 mph. It carries 38 sets of traffic signals, by far the most of any route at this centre and the longest drive here by time, so junction discipline under lights dominates.

Watch Out For

  • 38 sets of traffic signals, more than three times most other routes here, demanding steady stops and smooth pull-aways.
  • 11 roundabouts where you give way to the right and signal left on exit.
  • 17 turns (8 left, 9 right), with the right turns needing careful gap judgement across traffic.

Route Features

The drive links Towcester Road and Spencer Bridge Road before reaching London Road and Victoria Promenade near the town centre.

Test Manoeuvres

Expect a pull up on the left during the test.

Key Tips

  • With 60 mph sections, adjust speed early before returning to 30 mph built-up limits.
  • Approach each signal ready to stop, watching filter lanes on the busier junctions.
