Goodmayes (London) #471 Pro
This 11.4 km route heads south from Goodmayes through Aberdour Road and Becontree Avenue to Lodge Avenue, crossing the Lodge Avenue flyover. It reaches Ripple Road, then east through Gale Street to Porters Avenue. The return goes north via Valence Avenue, Bennett's Castle Lane, and Green Lane.
Watch Out For
The Lodge Avenue flyover has merging traffic and speed changes between 40 and 50 mph sections. Five speed limit zones at 40 mph along the Lodge Avenue corridor. Three give way junctions and three roundabouts near the double roundabout. Two bike lanes near Lodge Avenue. Sixteen traffic signals throughout.
Route Features
Three roundabouts (including the double), sixteen traffic signals. Speed limits from 20 to 50 mph. Gale Street is a long straight road through Becontree that tests maintaining a steady 30 mph. Seven left turns and six right turns provide a balanced mix.
Test Manoeuvres
Pull up on the left near Kildowan Road.
Key Tips
On the Lodge Avenue flyover, match the speed of surrounding traffic. At the double roundabout, treat each one as separate - check right and signal correctly for both. Watch for cyclists in the bike lanes before turning left. Gale Street is deceptively straight - maintain exactly 30 mph, not above.
