Redditch #1765 Free
Route 1765 runs 21.23 km over about 26 minutes in a single stage, one of the longest routes at the Redditch centre. It works through Smallwood, Abbeydale, Moons Moat and Church Hill North before reaching the rural fringe at Beoley and Holt End, with limits climbing from 30 mph through 40, 50 and 60 mph up to the 70 mph national limit.
Watch Out For
Nine roundabouts are spread across the drive, so plan your lane and exit early and give way to traffic from the right. The open section near Icknield Street reaches the national limit, where you choose a safe speed for the conditions. Two sets of traffic lights sit on the busier town roads.
Route Features
The route starts on Hewell Road and passes Coventry Highway before heading toward open country. A roundabout near the town core keeps the early miles busy.
Test Manoeuvres
Expect a pull up on the left during the drive. Signal, pick a safe legal spot and stop close to the kerb.
Key Tips
With five right turns against three left, set your position early at each junction and read the limit changes before the sign.
