Hexham #1982 Free
This Hexham route covers 7.5 miles in around 25 minutes as a single stage, working through the town centre along Beaumont Street and Priestpopple before heading out towards Acomb. Speed limits span 20 mph to 70 mph, so the pace varies widely. With 7 sets of traffic signals it matches the highest signal count at this office, and it is still one of the quicker drives here.
Watch Out For
- Seven sets of traffic signals across 7.5 miles.
- Four give way junctions, including one give way north of the town centre.
- Eighteen turns, 10 left and 8 right, so junction decisions come often.
Route Features
- Three roundabouts on a single stage drive.
- Residential and town streets around Haugh Lane, plus the Acomb area.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left is set here, so check mirrors, signal and pick a safe, legal spot.
Key Tips
- At each of the three roundabouts give way to the right and signal left on exit.
- Approach the four give way lines ready to stop if the road is not clear.
