Route 1996 runs 8.4 miles in about 27 minutes as a single stage, covering Ditton, Hough Green, Parklands, Cronton, Farnworth, Victoria Park and Appleton. Limits stay between 20 and 40 mph, so unlike several other Widnes routes there is no high speed driving. Instead there are 14 sets of traffic signals, 2 roundabouts and 10 turns in a short town loop.

Watch Out For

  • 20 mph zones through residential and school areas, with children and parked cars restricting the view.
  • Two roundabouts, each requiring give way to the right and a left signal on exit.
  • Frequent lights along Prescot Road that can stop you between junctions.

Route Features

Test Manoeuvres

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

Key Tips

  • Hold 20 mph properly in the low limit zones, rolling above it is a common fault.
  • With 6 right turns, set position and blind spot checks well before each one.
