Reading #2123 Pro
Route 2123 covers 7.1 miles in about 29.5 minutes in one stage, staying around Whitley, Whitley Wood and Spring Gardens. Limits run from 20 to 40 mph, but the traffic load is heavy for the distance, with 11 roundabouts and 19 sets of traffic lights. It also carries seven marked cycle lane sections, more than any other route at this office, so cyclists feature far more here than on the village routes south.
Watch Out For
- A cycle lane beside the traffic flow, so check the nearside before turning.
- Four give way junctions in the residential sections.
- Only five turns in total, so the demand comes from lights and roundabouts.
Route Features
- Rose Kiln Lane brings industrial estate traffic and lorries.
- Northumberland Avenue is the busy signal controlled section.
- Imperial Way handles the start and finish.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left close to the centre, on a road used by heavy vehicles.
Key Tips
- Give way to the right at all 11 roundabouts and signal left on exit.
- Mirror and shoulder check for bikes before every left turn and kerbside stop.
