Greenham #1965 Pro
Route 1965 covers 14.2 miles in about 34 minutes as a single stage, taking in Newtown Common, Horris Hill, Burghclere and Wash Common as well as Bishop's Green and Newtown. Limits reach 70 mph and only four junctions are signalled, so this route leans on open road judgement far more than the town loops at this office.
Watch Out For
- Eight roundabouts, giving way to the right and signalling left on exit.
- Seven school areas with a reduced limit and children near the kerb.
- Six bike lane stretches, so check the nearside before every left turn.
- The Tot Hill Interchange, where you join and leave fast traffic.
Route Features
- Sustained dual carriageway on the Newbury Bypass.
- Estate roads such as Villiers Way, then town driving on St. John's Road.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left is set close to the test centre, with mirrors and a signal before you slow.
Key Tips
- Left and right turns are evenly split at six each.
- Fifty mph signage is the most common on this route, so confirm the limit after every change.
