Hexham #1954 Pro
Route 1954 covers 10.7 miles in about 41 minutes as a single stage, leaving Hexham on Corbridge Road and looping through the Dilston and Anick countryside. Limits range from 20 to 60 mph. Its 8 roundabouts are the highest count of the eleven routes at this test centre, and 41 minutes makes it the longest drive here.
Watch Out For
- Eight roundabouts in one drive: give way to the right, signal left on exit.
- Four sets of traffic lights, all in the built up section near Haugh Lane.
- Tinkler's Bank, a steep narrow lane with little forward vision.
- Nine left and eight right turns.
Route Features
- A sustained 60 mph rural section between Hexham and Dilston.
- 30 mph village streets around Main Street, narrowed by parked cars.
- 20 mph restricted roads in the town centre.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left sits near the industrial estate, on a working road used by vans.
Key Tips
- Choose your lane before you reach each roundabout, not on the give way line.
- Ease off well before the 60 mph limit ends at the village edge.
