Route 1992 runs 9.9 miles in about 33 minutes as a single stage, linking Ditton, Newtown, Woodend, Lugsdale, Victoria Park and Appleton. Limits range from 30 to 70 mph, and there are 19 sets of traffic signals plus an even 7 left and 7 right turns. It is among the busier signalled routes worked from Widnes, although other routes here cover more ground.

Watch Out For

  • Repeated signal junctions along Lugsdale Road and Watkinson Way, where lane choice must be made early.
  • One roundabout: give way to the right and signal left on exit.
  • Residential 30 mph streets near Peelhouse Lane, where parked cars narrow the running lane.

Route Features

  • A 70 mph section testing joining, lane discipline and leaving at speed.
  • Town streets off Ditchfield Road beside the test centre.

Test Manoeuvres

A pull up on the left is set at the kerbside point near the start.

Key Tips

  • Read the 30, 40 and 70 mph signs rather than matching surrounding traffic.
  • Plan your lane before each signal junction, not at the stop line.
