Reading #2120 Free
Route 2120 covers 8.4 miles in about 28.5 minutes as a single stage, running south through Three Mile Cross, Spencers Wood, Great Lea Common and Shinfield. Limits range from 20 to 50 mph across 8 roundabouts and 14 sets of traffic lights. It is one of the longer routes here and spends far more time on open higher speed roads than the loops inside Whitley.
Watch Out For
- Six right turns against oncoming traffic, three times the number of left turns.
- Three give way junctions, including a give way on the way back in.
- Repeated changes between 40 mph and 30 mph at village boundaries.
Route Features
- Basingstoke Road carries the signal controlled opening and closing sections.
- Shinfield Eastern Relief Road links the centre to the southern villages at 40 mph.
- Arborfield Road is the open country stretch.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left near the centre, so pick a legal spot clear of junctions.
Key Tips
- Give way to the right at each of the 8 roundabouts and signal left on exit.
- Check the speedometer after every limit sign, since four limits appear.
