Route 2053 covers 12.2 miles in about 34 minutes as a single stage across Pondtail, Ancells Farm, Southwood, Cove and West Heath, with limits from 20 to 60 mph. It carries the fewest traffic signals of any route at this office, only 10, and leans on 10 roundabouts instead, so junctions are judged rather than controlled.

Watch Out For

  • Roundabouts arrive in quick succession, ten across the loop.
  • Seven give way junctions, including tight ones on estate roads.
  • Four school area markers with reduced limits, such as this one.

Route Features

  • The western leg reaches Cove Road, the far end of the loop.
  • Ively Road and Fleet Road carry the faster 40 to 60 mph traffic.
  • No left turns at all, so the drive is built on four right turns and roundabout exits.

Test Manoeuvres

  • Pull up on the left is set here, so stop parallel to the kerb and check the blind spot before rejoining.

Key Tips

  • Give way to the right at every roundabout and signal left on exit.
  • Read the 40, 50 and 60 mph changes early rather than braking late.
