This 7.5 mile, 31 minute single-stage route runs through Earcroft, Ewood, Witton and Wensley Fold with limits of 30 mph and 40 mph. Of the three routes from this centre it is the shortest, yet it has by far the most traffic lights, 17 in total.

Watch Out For

  • Constant signal changes: 17 traffic lights leave little time to relax, so plan your speed early.
  • The roundabout: give way to the right and signal left on exit.
  • The stop sign needs a full stop, not a rolling pause.

Route Features

  • 7 left turns and 10 right turns, with 8 roundabouts overall.
  • Roads include the A666 and Mary Leaver Way.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • Practise a mix of signalled junctions and roundabouts, since both feature heavily here.
