St Albans #1814 Free
Route 1814 runs 7.2 miles in about 29 minutes as a single stage through Bernards Heath, New Greens and Marshalswick, with limits between 20 and 40 mph. It is strongly left handed, with nine left turns against four rights, and it uses only one roundabout, far fewer than the roundabout heavy routes at this St Albans office.
Watch Out For
- Eleven sets of traffic signals, several on the busy stretch of Hatfield Road.
- Narrow estate roads such as New Greens Avenue, where parked cars force give and take.
- Repeated left turns into side streets, each needing a mirror and blind spot check for cyclists.
Route Features
- A northern loop taking in Harpenden Road and The Ridgeway.
- One roundabout, where priority goes to traffic on your right and you signal left to leave.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left near the test centre.
Key Tips
- Nothing exceeds 40 mph, so smooth low speed control and gear choice carry the drive.
- 20 mph zones appear inside the residential sections, so check the signs on entry.
