Newport (Gwent) #1857 Free
Route 1857 covers 5.4 miles in about 22 minutes as a single stage, the quickest of the three routes described at this Newport centre. It links Alway, Ladyhill and Somerton, with 3 roundabouts and limits running from 20 up to 50 mph.
Watch Out For
- Three roundabouts, more than either other route here, all giving way to the right and signalling left on exit.
- A 50 mph stretch, the fastest limit on this route, before the 30 mph estate roads.
- Four give way junctions and 10 sets of traffic lights.
- A reduced limit and children near the school zone.
Route Features
- Fourteen marked cycle lane sections, the most of any route here.
- Quiet estate roads around Aberthaw Road with tight junction spacing.
- Busier multi lane driving on Chepstow Road.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left at the marked point and move off with a blind spot check.
Key Tips
- Pick your lane early on the approach to each roundabout.
- Only 10 turns in total, so use the gaps between them to read the speed limit signs.
