Reading #2113 Pro
Route 2113 covers 11.4 miles in about 38 minutes as a single stage, one of the longer drives at the Reading centre, linking Whitley Wood with Shinfield, Arborfield and Arborfield Cross. Limits range from 20 up to 50 mph across 11 roundabouts, yet only 10 sets of traffic lights, so most of the assessment happens on moving roads rather than at stop lines.
Watch Out For
- Eleven roundabouts, several taken at speed on the relief road.
- Two give way lines joining faster traffic from the right.
- Country bends on Swallowfield Road with hedges limiting the view.
- Frequent changes between 40 and 50 mph limits.
Route Features
- Sustained fast running on the Shinfield Eastern Relief Road.
- Village 30 mph on Reading Road.
- New estate roads near Cutbush Lane West with tight junctions.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left at the kerb near the finish.
Key Tips
- At nearly 38 minutes this is a long drive, so keep observations consistent to the end.
