Barnstaple #2719 Free
Covering 10.5 miles in 40 minutes, this single-stage route links Pottington, Lake, Rumsam, Newport, Forches and Whiddon Valley, and the limits run from 30 mph to 60 mph. Compared with the other routes from this centre it is among the longer ones, with a low count of traffic lights and a high count of roundabouts.
Watch Out For
- 15 roundabouts, so keep giving way to the right and signalling left on exit; Lake Roundabout and Roundswell Roundabout are two of them.
- One stop sign needs a complete stop, and 2 give way points follow different junctions.
Route Features
- Fewer right turns here: 5 left and 5 right, plus 3 traffic lights.
- 3 bike lane sections, and a school zone with a reduced limit.
- Roads include Lynhurst Avenue and Bickington Road.
Test Manoeuvres
- The pull up on the left comes near Riverside Road; check mirrors, signal, then move off when clear.
Key Tips
- Learn the 40 mph and 50 mph limit signs before the 60 mph section.
