Greenham #1971 Free
Route 1971 runs 18.0 miles in about 46 minutes as a single stage across Bishop's Green, Newtown, Enborne Row and Wash Common. Limits range from 20 to 70 mph, and its 14 sets of traffic signals put it among the busier Greenham routes for junction control, unlike the rural loops that use none.
Watch Out For
- Three give way junctions, including this one in the north.
- Eight roundabouts. Give way to the right, and signal left on the exit you take.
- Five school zone waypoints, such as this one, with a reduced limit and children about.
Route Features
- Seventeen marked turns, 10 left and 7 right.
- A southern leg out to Andover Road, then town roads at The Broadway.
- Three cycle lane sections, plus 60 and 70 mph stretches.
Test Manoeuvres
Pull up on the left is set here. Stop parallel to the kerb, then move off with a full blind spot check.
Key Tips
- Read the signal sequences early rather than braking late at each stop line.
- Settle back to 20 or 30 mph before the school sections, not after the signs.
