Greenham #1961 Pro
Route 1961 is the shortest route at this office, 9.1 miles in about 22 minutes as a single stage through Bishop's Green and Newtown, with limits from 30 to 50 mph. Even so it packs in nine sets of traffic lights and seven roundabouts, so the junction rate per mile is high.
Watch Out For
- Seven roundabouts, giving way to the right and signalling left on exit.
- Eight bike lane stretches, so check the nearside before turning left or pulling in.
- A pedestrian crossing in the built up section.
- Five school areas with a reduced limit and children near the kerb.
Route Features
- The Newbury North/South Relief Road carries the faster part of the route.
- Residential driving on St. John's Road and Andover Road.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left is set near the test centre, so signal and check mirrors before slowing.
Key Tips
- With nine signalled junctions, read the lane markings before you commit to a direction.
- Five right turns outnumber the four left turns, so set your position early.
