Birmingham (Garretts Green) #2721 Pro
This 9.8 mi route runs 43 minutes in 1 stage through Kitts Green, Kingshurst, Chelmsley Wood, Castle Bromwich and Fordbridge, with limits of 20, 30, 40 and 50 mph. It has 14 roundabouts but only 1 traffic light, far fewer signals than the busier routes from this centre.
Watch Out For
- 14 roundabouts: give way to the right and signal left on exit, especially around the A452.
- 14 left turns and 9 right turns, so keep your road position tidy.
Route Features
- The speed range climbs to 50 mph, so check each limit sign near Cooks Lane and Chester Road.
- There is a bike lane to watch for.
Test Manoeuvres
- Expect a kerbside stop, pulling up on the left, near Granby Avenue.
Key Tips
- Read each roundabout early, since 1 traffic light means gaps depend on roundabout judgement.
