Widnes #1995 Free
Route 1995 covers 9.0 miles in about 24 minutes as a single stage, running from Ditton through Hough Green, Parklands and Cronton. Limits go from 30 to 60 mph and the balance leans towards turning, with 7 right and 4 left turns against just 11 sets of traffic signals. That is lighter on lights than several other routes at this centre, but heavier on junctions where you cross oncoming traffic.
Watch Out For
- Seven right turns, several needing a gap in oncoming traffic rather than a filter light.
- The 60 mph country section near Cronton Road, with bends and farm entrances.
- One roundabout: give way to the right, and signal left on the exit you take.
Route Features
- Busy 30 mph shopping frontage along Hough Green Road.
- A 40 mph link on Liverpool Road where traffic moves in lanes.
Test Manoeuvres
A pull up on the left is set at the kerbside point beside the test centre.
Key Tips
- Position early for each right turn and hold until the gap is genuinely clear.
- Slow before the 60 mph bends rather than in them.
