Reading #2117 Free
Route 2117 runs 7.5 miles in about 31 minutes as a single stage through Whitley and Whitley Wood, with limits from 20 up to 40 mph. It fits 11 roundabouts and 13 sets of traffic lights into a fairly short distance, so it is one of the more roundabout heavy drives at the Reading centre, and it has 6 right turns against 4 lefts.
Watch Out For
- Eleven roundabouts, some in quick succession with short approach lanes.
- Two school areas with reduced limits and children near the kerb.
- A pedestrian crossing that often has people waiting.
- Three give way lines and one marked cycle lane.
Route Features
- Faster 40 mph running on Rose Kiln Lane.
- Residential 20 mph streets around Barnsdale Road.
- Wider suburban roads such as Wellington Avenue.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left at a residential kerb.
Key Tips
- Pick your roundabout exit lane before the give way line, not on the island.
