Stevenage #1896 Free
Route 1896 covers 9.9 miles in about 27 minutes as a single stage, running north from High Street in Old Town through Graveley, Great Wymondley and Wymondley Park to the Oakfield and Sunnyside edges of Hitchin. Limits span 30 to 70 mph, and this is the only Stevenage route that reaches 70 mph. It carries 8 sets of traffic signals, the highest count here, against only 2 roundabouts.
Watch Out For
- Eight signal controlled junctions, starting as you leave town on North Road.
- The rural stretch along Graveley Lane, with bends, hedgerows and no footway.
- Lane choice where the limit climbs to 70 mph.
Route Features
- 7 left and 5 right turns across town, village and open road.
- Village streets around Wymondley Road, narrowed by parked cars.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left from the kerb by the test centre.
Key Tips
- Give way to the right at both roundabouts and signal left on exit.
- Lose speed early where 70 mph drops to 30 mph at the village limits.
