Wednesbury #1874 Pro
Route 1874 from Wednesbury covers 8.9 miles in about 34.3 minutes as a single stage, taking in Wood Green, Darlaston, Fallings Heath, Pleck, Bescot and New Mills, with limits from 20 to 40 mph. It is one of the longest routes here and the longest by time, holding 15 sets of traffic lights and 5 roundabouts.
Watch Out For
- Six right turns against just two left turns, so most junction work crosses oncoming traffic.
- Five roundabouts, where you give way to the right and signal left on exit.
- A pedestrian crossing that may need you to give way.
- 20 mph sections that need a clear drop from the 40 mph stretches.
Route Features
- 15 traffic signals, among the higher counts at this centre.
- Named roads include Walsall Road and Bescot Road in the north.
- Crankhall Lane marks the southern end of the loop.
Test Manoeuvres
- One manoeuvre point: pull up on the left, then move off when the road is clear.
Key Tips
- Set up early for the six right turns and wait for a clear gap.
- Expect repeated stopping across the 15 signal sets.
