Barnstaple #2718 Pro
This 10.5-mile route takes 40 minutes in a single stage and passes through Pottington, Lake, Rumsam, Newport, Forches and Whiddon Valley, with limits from 30 mph up to 60 mph. It is longer than one of the other routes from this centre, yet has far fewer traffic lights and many more roundabouts.
Watch Out For
- 15 roundabouts: give way to the right and signal left on exit, including Lake Roundabout and Roundswell Roundabout.
- A stop sign needs a full stop, and there are 2 give way points to read early.
Route Features
- 5 left turns, 7 right turns and 3 traffic lights.
- 3 bike lane sections to check for cyclists.
- One school zone with a reduced limit where children may be present.
Test Manoeuvres
- Expect to pull up on the left near Riverside Road, then move off after checking all around.
Key Tips
- Watch for the 40 mph and 50 mph limit signs, and the move to 60 mph on the faster section near the Barnstaple Western Bypass.
