Farnborough #2056 Free
Route 2056 runs 8.5 miles in about 29 minutes as a single stage through South Farnborough, North Farnborough and West Heath. Limits stay between 20 and 40 mph, so it stays town based, but it packs in 21 sets of traffic signals and 8 school area markers, more school zones than any other route at this office.
Watch Out For
- Those school areas, where the limit drops and children cross near the kerb.
- A signalled pedestrian crossing that needs early observation.
- Nine give way junctions on residential streets with parked cars close to the line.
Route Features
- Start and finish on Aerospace Boulevard.
- Lynchford Road and Reading Road carry shops, buses and seven cycle lane sections.
- Only four roundabouts and four turns in total, so the workload sits at the signals.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left is set here, so stop close to the kerb and check mirrors and blind spot before moving off.
Key Tips
- Give way to the right at each roundabout and signal left on exit.
- Hold 30 mph accurately between the 40 mph sections rather than drifting up.
