Reading #2228 Pro
This Reading route covers 7.8 miles in 34 minutes as 1 stage through Spring Gardens and Whitley, with limits of 20 mph to 60 mph. With 4 left and 5 right turns, it asks for fewer turns than many routes from this centre.
Watch Out For
- 10 roundabouts, including the Black Boy Roundabout; give way to the right and signal left on exit.
- 2 Speed-50 markers and 1 Speed-40 marker, so check the limit on leaving each junction.
Route Features
- 14 traffic lights, with roads such as Chalfont Way, Elm Lane and Cressingham Road.
- 7 bike lane points, for example this bike lane.
Test Manoeuvres
- Kerbside stop at the pull-up point: pull up on the left.
Key Tips
- Check mirrors and the left side before turning near the bike lanes, since cyclists can share the same stretch as your turns.
