Herne Bay #2079 Free
A 9.2 mile route running about 36 minutes in one stage across Pinefields, Broomfield, Hunter's Forstal, Herne and Lower Herne, with limits from 20 to 60 mph. Only one set of traffic lights appears on the whole drive, among the fewest at this office, so the pressure sits on its 8 roundabouts and 3 marked pedestrian crossings, the most of any route here.
Watch Out For
- A stop sign requires a complete stop behind the line before you edge out.
- A pedestrian crossing arrives on a downhill approach, so brake early.
- Village traffic on Herne Street narrows to single file past parked cars.
Route Features
- Eight roundabouts. Give way to the right and signal left on exit.
- Only 4 right turns against 7 left, so most junctions are made into the nearside.
- Town centre driving on High Street with loading vehicles and shoppers.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left at this kerbside point, parallel and close to the kerb.
Key Tips
- Rural 60 mph sections still need a speed you can stop within your view.
