Watch Out For

• School zone near Campkin Road. 20 mph limit during school hours. Easy to miss among the frequent speed changes in this area.
• Second school zone near Arbury Road. Another 20 mph zone in quick succession. Stay alert after the first one clears.
• Cyclists throughout. 13 bike lanes along this route, especially heavy on Histon Road and Bridge Road. Check mirrors before every left turn.
• High Street, Milton. Narrow village road with parked cars. Oncoming traffic may require you to give way between parked vehicles.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

• The 20 mph zones cover most of the residential Cambridge streets. Do not default to 30 mph in built-up areas here.
• On the A10 section, build speed to near 60 mph. Driving too slowly on a national speed limit road is marked as a serious fault.
• At Coles Road and the Milton village streets, watch for pedestrians stepping out between parked cars.
