Route 1740 is an 11.13 km single-stage drive of about 27 minutes that reaches north through Barrows Lane and Blakesley Road before returning via Coventry Road. Unlike most routes here that top out at 30 mph, it climbs to a 40 mph limit, and it runs three roundabouts and seven sets of traffic lights.

Watch Out For

  • The 40 mph section where speed needs judging on approach.
  • A pedestrian crossing on the northern loop.
  • Four give way junctions that each need a clear look.

Route Features

  • Three roundabouts, give way to the right and signal left on exit.
  • Seven sets of traffic lights across a mid-length loop.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • Ease back to 30 mph in good time as the limit drops.
  • Check each give way carefully before pulling out.
