Reading #2214 Pro
This 1-stage route covers 7.4 miles in 34 minutes through Spring Gardens, Whitley and Whitley Wood, with limits of 20 mph, 30 mph and 40 mph. Its 12 traffic lights are fewer than on many routes from this centre, while 10 roundabouts and 10 right turns give it plenty of junction work.
Watch Out For
- A give way sign on the approach to Imperial Way, where you need to judge gaps carefully.
- Several 40 mph limit changes, including this one, so check your speed after each sign.
Route Features
- 7 left turns, 10 right turns, 10 roundabouts and 12 traffic lights.
- Roads include Basingstoke Road, the A33 and Whitley Wood Road.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left for the kerbside stop.
Key Tips
- Roundabouts here need a give way to the right and a left signal on exit.
- Use your mirrors for the 3 bike lane points before each turn.
