Reading #2116 Free
Route 2116 covers 7.6 miles in about 28 minutes as a single stage, linking Lower Earley with Whitley on limits from 20 up to 60 mph. It has 5 roundabouts, fewer than most routes at the Reading centre, but 16 sets of traffic lights, so the demand is more about signal junctions and speed changes than roundabout work.
Watch Out For
- Four give way lines where you must judge fast traffic from the right.
- A school area with a reduced limit and children near the kerb.
- Sixteen signalled junctions, several with filter arrows.
- Wide speed range, from 20 mph estate roads to 60 mph open sections.
Route Features
- Dual carriageway running on Lower Earley Way (West).
- Suburban distributor roads such as Rushey Way.
- Narrow lane driving on Pepper Lane.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left near the end of the drive.
Key Tips
- With three left and three right turns, most marks come from speed and lane discipline.
