Greenham #1959 Pro
Route 1959 runs 11.9 miles in about 30 minutes as a single stage through Bishop's Green and Newtown, with limits from 30 to 50 mph. Its eleven roundabouts are the joint highest count of any route at this office, and nine sets of traffic lights add a second layer of junction work.
Watch Out For
- Roundabouts arriving in quick succession, each needing give way to the right and a left signal on exit.
- Eight marked bike lane stretches, so check the nearside mirror before every left turn.
- A pedestrian crossing on the built up northern section.
- Six school areas with a reduced limit and children near the kerb.
Route Features
- Faster 50 mph running on the Newbury North/South Relief Road.
- Slower residential work around St. John's Road and Andover Road.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left close to the test centre, with mirrors and a signal before you slow.
Key Tips
- Choose your lane early, because right turns often follow soon after a roundabout exit.
- Fifty mph is the most common limit here, so the drop to 30 mph needs early braking.
