Colchester #386 Pro
The longest route from Colchester at 11.3 miles, heading southeast toward Rowhedge via Fingringhoe Road. Includes a 60 mph national speed limit section and 3 roundabouts on Berechurch Hall Road. This route has zero traffic lights, so all junctions are roundabouts or give-way.
Watch Out For
- 60 mph on Fingringhoe Road. A narrow country-style road where you need to reach the limit but also watch for oncoming traffic on bends.
- 8 school zones along the route. The most school zones of any Colchester route apart from #394 and #398. Easy to miss one.
- 3 roundabouts on Berechurch Hall Road. In quick succession heading south from the centre.
Route Features
- 6 left turns, 13 right turns, 3 roundabouts.
- 11.3 miles, longest from this centre. Compare with the shortest: Route #389 at just 5.0 miles
- Speed range: 30-60 mph
- Key roads: Berechurch Hall Road, Fingringhoe Road, Normandy Avenue, Chapel Road
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left near the test centre.
Key Tips
- With no traffic lights at all, focus on roundabout approaches and give-way junctions. Only Routes #386 and #400 share this zero-signal feature.
- The 60 mph section requires confident acceleration. Hesitating will be marked as not making adequate progress.
