St Albans #1812 Free
Route 1812 runs 6.4 miles in about 27 minutes as a single stage, reaching out through The Camp, Tyttenhanger, London Colney and Cotlandswick. Limits span 20 to 70 mph, and its 15 sets of traffic signals make it one of the busier routes for junction control at this St Albans office, with an even split of seven left and seven right turns.
Watch Out For
- A school zone with a reduced limit and pedestrians close to the kerb.
- Three give way junctions, including one with short sight lines on the city side.
- The 70 mph stretch on North Orbital Road, where joining needs decisive acceleration.
Route Features
- City streets around London Road give way to open A road running near Tyttenhanger.
- Two roundabouts, both taken with priority to the right and a left signal on exit.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left near the test centre.
Key Tips
- The drop from 70 mph back to 40 and then 30 mph arrives quickly, so brake early on the approach.
- Fourteen turns across 6.4 miles means signalling and positioning matter at almost every junction.
