Greenham #1960 Free
Route 1960 covers 14.0 miles in about 27 minutes as a single stage, running from Bishop's Green out through Newtown Common, Burghclere and Wash Common, with limits from 30 to 70 mph. It uses five roundabouts, fewer than any other route at this office, and has no traffic signals, so the workload sits in open road speed rather than junctions.
Watch Out For
- Joining and leaving fast traffic at the Tot Hill Interchange, where merging speed matters.
- A give way junction on the outward leg.
- Two school areas with a reduced limit and children near the kerb.
- Five roundabouts, each needing give way to the right and a left signal on exit.
Route Features
- Dual carriageway running on the Newbury Bypass.
- Rural driving on Andover Road well away from built up areas.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left is set on the estate roads by the test centre.
Key Tips
- Six left turns outnumber the four right turns, so most exits are nearside.
- Brake early where a 70 mph stretch feeds into a 30 or 40 mph limit.
