Greenham #1962 Free
Route 1962 covers 9.5 miles in about 25 minutes as a single stage across Bishop's Green and Newtown, with limits from 30 to 50 mph. It is one of the shorter routes at this office, yet it still fits in seven roundabouts and seven signalled junctions, a denser mix than the longer rural routes here.
Watch Out For
- Seven roundabouts, giving way to the right and signalling left on exit.
- Seven bike lane stretches, so check the nearside mirror before every left turn.
- Five school areas with a reduced limit and children near the kerb.
- A give way junction on the link out of the estate.
Route Features
- Residential streets such as Bartlemy Road and Valley Road, where parked cars narrow the running lane.
- Monks Lane carries the faster part of the loop.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left is set near the test centre, so signal and check mirrors first.
Key Tips
- Seven left turns slightly outnumber the six right turns.
- The 50 mph signage outnumbers the 40 mph signage, so watch for the step back down.
