Farnborough #2059 Pro
Route 2059 covers 12.3 miles in about 33 minutes as a single stage, working west from Farnborough into Pondtail with limits from 20 to 60 mph. It is the only route at this office with no school zone markers, and with 12 sets of traffic signals and 5 roundabouts it leans on open road speed rather than junction density.
Watch Out For
- Frequent limit changes, with fourteen 40 mph markers, ten at 50 and nine at 60.
- Only three give way junctions, so they are easy to arrive at unprepared.
- Long faster stretches where following distance quietly shrinks.
Route Features
- Start and finish on Aerospace Boulevard.
- Fleet Road and Velmead Road carry the western leg.
- Beacon Hill Road features on the return, with only two left and three right turns across the whole drive.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left is set here, so stop parallel to the kerb and check mirrors and blind spot before rejoining.
Key Tips
- Give way to the right at each roundabout and signal left on exit.
- Read repeater signs on the faster roads instead of following the car in front.
