Stevenage #1897 Free
Route 1897 is a 7.4 mile drive of about 23 minutes in one stage, staying near the test centre in Old Town and Pin Green. Limits run from 20 to 40 mph, so quiet residential streets sit beside 40 mph distributor roads. It is one of the shorter routes at this centre, yet its 7 right turns demand more judgement of oncoming traffic than most Stevenage routes, alongside 6 roundabouts and 3 sets of traffic signals.
Watch Out For
- Right turns off Letchmore Road, where parked cars shorten your view.
- Roundabout entries on Martins Way, which carries steady through traffic.
- The 20 mph sections in Old Town, where the limit changes over a short distance.
Route Features
- Estate driving on Webb Rise and Vardon Road, with side junctions close together.
- 5 left turns balance the 7 rights in one stage.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left, usually taken just outside the test centre.
Key Tips
- Give way to the right at all 6 roundabouts and signal left as you leave.
- Read the repeater signs when dropping from 40 mph into a 20 mph street.
