St Albans #1825 Free
Route 1825 runs 7.0 miles in about 28 minutes as a single stage, taking in Chiswell Green, How Wood, St Julians and Cottonmill. Limits cover 20, 30, 40, 60 and 70 mph. With only 10 turns split evenly, 5 left and 5 right, it asks less junction work than the tightly wound residential routes at the St Albans test centre, but adds three roundabouts and 14 sets of traffic lights.
Watch Out For
- Six give way junctions, several clustered at the southern end of the loop.
- Three roundabouts. Give way to the right and signal left as you leave.
- The drop from 70 mph back to 30 mph as you re-enter built up streets.
Route Features
- Bluehouse Hill and King Harry Lane carry the western loop past open ground.
- Watford Road feeds the southern residential section.
- North Orbital Road supplies the 70 mph stretch.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left, near the test centre.
Key Tips
- Pick your lane before the roundabout entry, not once you are on it.
- Read the limit signs after each roundabout, the limit changes several times here.
