Herne Bay #2077 Pro
At 10.4 miles and about 40 minutes, this is the longest route at this office in both distance and time. It covers Pinefields, Broomfield, Hunter's Forstal, Herne and Lower Herne with limits from 20 to 60 mph, and its 10 roundabouts are the highest count of any route here, plus 3 sets of traffic lights and 17 turns.
Watch Out For
- Twelve of the 17 turns are right turns, which means repeated waiting across oncoming traffic.
- A marked cycle lane runs beside the carriageway, so check for riders before crossing it.
- A pedestrian crossing sits on the busy town section.
Route Features
- Ten roundabouts. Give way to the right and signal left on exit.
- Four give way junctions, including this one where you emerge with limited view.
- Country lanes out past Broomfield Road where the limit rises to 60 mph.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left at this kerbside point, parallel to the kerb and clear of junctions.
Key Tips
- Forty minutes of driving means fatigue errors late on, so keep the mirror routine going.
