Route 1998 covers 9.0 miles in about 24 minutes as a single stage, linking Newtown, Lugsdale, Lunts Heath, Upton, Farnworth and Victoria Park. It touches five speed bands, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 70 mph, and carries 16 sets of traffic signals with only 6 turns in total, 4 left and 2 right. The work here is reading changing limits and signal sequences rather than turning.

Watch Out For

  • 16 signal junctions in 9.0 miles, including closely spaced sets near Watkinson Way.
  • 20 mph residential and school streets where children may step out between parked cars.
  • Limits jumping from town speeds up to 70 mph, so signs must be read rather than assumed.

Route Features

Test Manoeuvres

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

Key Tips

  • Check the limit again after every set of lights, five different limits appear here.
  • Leave a gap at the signals so you are never stopped across a junction.
