St Albans #1828 Pro
Route 1828 covers 8.9 miles in about 33 minutes as a single stage, reaching east through Fleetville, Smallford, Sleapshyde, Colney Heath, Tyttenhanger and London Colney. Limits run 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70 mph. Its 23 sets of traffic lights are the joint highest count at the St Albans test centre and its five roundabouts match the highest here, yet the drive asks for only 8 turns.
Watch Out For
- Five roundabouts. Give way to the right and signal left as you leave.
- Two school areas with reduced limits, including one on the city side.
- A marked cycle lane section on the southern leg.
Route Features
- North Orbital Road and Station Road carry the long eastern run.
- Camp Road takes the 30 mph residential approach.
- Only 8 turns, 4 left and 4 right, across 8.9 miles.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left, near the test centre.
Key Tips
- With 23 signal sets, expect repeated stops and keep a full gap in the queue.
- Limits step through 30, 40, 50 and 70 mph, so read the signs rather than the traffic.
