This 8.8-mile, single-stage route takes 36 minutes and runs through Fleetville, Colney Heath, Sleapshyde and Smallford, with limits from 20 mph up to 50 mph. It is one of the longer routes among the 38 from the St Albans centre.

Watch Out For

  • A school zone with a reduced limit sits mid-route, so expect children and a lower speed there, then check for the limit rising again.
  • Two roundabouts: give way to traffic from the right and signal left on exit.
  • 8 traffic lights, so judge each green early and be ready to stop.

Route Features

Test Manoeuvres

  • The pull-up exercise is pull up on the left, then move off again after checking mirrors and blind spot.

Key Tips

  • The limits change between 20, 30, 40 and 50 mph, so read each sign as it comes.
  • Mirror, signal and position early for the near-equal mix of left and right turns.
