Route 1946 covers 7.8 miles in about 30 minutes as one stage, working north from Chertsey through Thorpe and back. Limits use the full 20 to 60 mph spread, and the route is turn heavy for its length, with 6 left and 8 right turns. Only 5 sets of traffic signals appear, so the pressure comes from 6 roundabouts and narrow village lanes rather than queueing at lights.

Watch Out For

• A school area with a reduced limit and children near the kerb.
• A pedestrian crossing to approach ready to stop inside the 30 mph section.
• Single track stretches on Coldharbour Lane where oncoming traffic forces a give way.

Route Features

• Village driving on Village Road with parked cars and tight passing gaps.
• Six roundabouts, giving way to the right and signalling left on exit.
• A 40 mph stretch on the northern loop before limits drop back down.

Test Manoeuvres

• Pull up on the left and rejoin the traffic safely.

Key Tips

• Plan the 8 right turns early, as several sit at unmarked lane junctions.
• Match speed to the road, not the sign, on the 60 mph sections.
