Herne Bay #2076 Free
Seven miles in roughly 28 minutes as a single stage, working through Pinefields, Talmead, Oxenden, Greenhill, The Fairways and Eddington. It is the quickest of the 15 routes at this office by time, yet it still packs in 8 roundabouts and 4 sets of traffic lights across only 10 turns, all within 20 to 40 mph limits.
Watch Out For
- Roundabouts come thick and fast for such a short drive, so read the sign and pick your lane on approach.
- A give way junction sits on the higher ground where sight lines open late.
- The school zone carries a reduced limit with children crossing at school times.
Route Features
- Eight roundabouts. Give way to the right and signal left on exit.
- Coast side 30 mph streets on Sea View Road with parked cars both sides.
- Steadier 40 mph running along Reculver Road.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left at this kerbside point, choosing a spot that does not block a driveway.
Key Tips
- Only 4 right turns here, so the marks come from lane discipline at roundabouts.
