Herne Bay #2074 Pro
Covering 8.9 miles in about 36 minutes as a single stage, this route works through Pinefields, Broomfield, Hunter's Forstal, Herne and Lower Herne. Limits top out at 40 mph and start at 20 mph, so there is no high speed section, but the 9 roundabouts sit among the highest counts at this office, alongside 4 sets of traffic lights and 15 turns.
Watch Out For
- Ten of the fifteen turns are right turns, so plan position and oncoming gaps early.
- Eddington Junction pulls in traffic from several directions at once.
- The school zone carries a reduced limit and children crossing at school times.
Route Features
- Nine roundabouts. Give way to the right and signal left on exit.
- The multi arm layout at The Circus rewards early lane choice.
- The descent on Mickleburgh Hill needs braking before the bend, not in it.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left at this kerbside point, signalling and checking the blind spot first.
Key Tips
- At 36 minutes this is one of the longer drives here, so hold observation to the end.
