St Albans #1824 Pro
Route 1824 covers 6.1 miles in about 31 minutes as a single stage across St Stephens, St Julians and Chiswell Green. Posted limits are 20, 30, 60 and 70 mph with no 40 mph step in between. Five roundabouts match the highest count at the St Albans test centre, and 15 sets of traffic lights are squeezed into a short distance, so the average speed stays low.
Watch Out For
- Six give way junctions, including one on the southern edge where you may need to stop.
- Five roundabouts. Give way to the right, then signal left on exit.
- Nine right turns against only five lefts, so most junctions cross oncoming traffic.
Route Features
- St Stephen's Hill and Chiswell Green Lane hold the 30 mph residential parts.
- North Orbital Road provides the 70 mph open section.
- Fourteen turns and 15 signal sets inside 6.1 miles.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left, close to the test centre.
Key Tips
- Take up your position early for the nine right turns and hold behind the give way line.
- Limits step straight from 30 to 60 mph, so plan the acceleration before you join.
