Route 1855 covers 5.0 miles in about 23 minutes as a single stage through Liswerry, Somerton and Ladyhill, with limits of 20, 30 and 50 mph. It has 7 traffic signals, fewer than the other two routes described here, but 9 right turns, more than either of them.

Watch Out For

  • Two roundabouts, giving way to the right and signalling left on exit.
  • Four give way junctions, the first as you leave Corporation Road.
  • A 50 mph section, then a drop back to 30 mph on the estate roads.
  • Children and a reduced limit at the school zone.

Route Features

  • Seven marked cycle lanes, so check the nearside before turning left.
  • Residential streets off Somerton Road with parked cars.
  • One pedestrian crossing and 7 sets of lights.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • With 9 right turns, choose position and gaps early.
  • Judge the 20 mph and 50 mph changes from the signs, not from surrounding traffic.
