Widnes #1994 Pro
Route 1994 is 13.1 miles and about 37 minutes in one stage, reaching from Ditton and Hough Green out to Whiston, Whiston Lane Ends, Whiston Cross and Parklands. It is one of the longer routes worked from Widnes, with limits from 30 to 60 mph, 2 roundabouts, 13 sets of lights and an even 6 left and 6 right turns. More of the drive sits on open country lanes than on the town based routes here.
Watch Out For
- Narrow 60 mph lanes such as Windy Arbor Road and Stoney Lane, with blind bends and no footway.
- Both roundabouts need give way to the right and a left signal on exit.
- The drop back to 30 mph along Hough Green Road.
Route Features
- Only 13 signal junctions across 13.1 miles, so rural positioning matters more than light sequences.
- Longer 40 mph link roads between Whiston and Widnes.
Test Manoeuvres
A pull up on the left is set at the kerbside point close to the test centre.
Key Tips
- Drive the 60 mph lanes to what you can see, easing before the bends on Dragon Lane.
