Route 1856 is the longest of the three routes described at this Newport centre, 5.5 miles in about 26 minutes as a single stage. It threads Eveswell, Maindee, Summerhill and Somerton, and the limit never rises above 30 mph, with 20 mph sections in between.

Watch Out For

  • 21 sets of traffic lights, far more than the other two routes here.
  • Busy shop frontages and side turnings on Chepstow Road.
  • Four give way junctions and two roundabouts, where you give way to the right.
  • A school area with a lower limit near the school zone.

Route Features

  • Eight left turns against five right turns, most into terraced side streets.
  • Longer straight runs on Christchurch Road between light controlled junctions.
  • Quieter residential driving around Somerton Road.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • Approach each set of lights ready to stop, the sequence is dense here.
  • Hold 30 mph where signed and drop to 20 mph promptly in the narrow streets.
