Swansea route 1858 runs 11.5 miles in around 41 minutes in one stage, linking Port Tennant and St. Thomas with Winch Wen, Pentredwr, Landore and Hafod. Limits range from 20 mph to 60 mph, with 19 sets of traffic signals, seven roundabouts and 13 turns.

Watch Out For

  • Nineteen sets of traffic signals, several in quick succession, so pick your lane early.
  • Two give way junctions, including this one, where you emerge into moving traffic.
  • Seven roundabouts, so give way to the right and signal left on exit.
  • Limits swing from 20 mph to 60 mph, so check repeater signs after junctions.

Route Features

The route opens out on Fabian Way, drops through the dock area near New Cut Road, then climbs to hillside estates around Cefn Hengoed Road, covering six suburbs.

Test Manoeuvres

A pull up on the left is marked near Langdon Road. Signal, stop clear of junctions, then check mirrors and blind spot before moving off.

Key Tips

Practise at rush hour, since the signals mean queuing. Match your speed to each limit change and use mirrors early before every turn.
