Barnet (London) #529 Free
This 16.1 km route combines the eastern Cockfosters loop with a northern Great North Road return. From the test centre, it heads east through Brookhill Road and Cat Hill to Chase Side in Cockfosters. It then takes Cockfosters Road north through Waggon Road to Great North Road, returning south via Hadley Highstone and High Street.
Watch Out For
Chase Side has a 40 mph stretch that transitions quickly to 30 mph residential streets. Three roundabouts including two near Cockfosters where traffic can be heavy. Ten give way junctions (the joint most for Barnet). Waggon Road is a 40 mph road with limited forward visibility near Potters Bar. A school zone near Cat Hill drops to 20 mph.
Route Features
Three roundabouts, ten traffic signals, and speed limits from 30 to 60 mph. Seven left turns and five right turns. Green Road and De Bohun Avenue in Cockfosters are quiet residential streets. The Great North Road section near Bentley Heath has a 60 mph stretch before dropping to 30 mph.
Test Manoeuvres
Pull up on the left near Pricklers Hill.
Key Tips
On Chase Side, watch for the speed limit change as you leave the commercial area. At the Cockfosters roundabouts, give way to traffic from the right and signal correctly when exiting. The long Cockfosters Road stretch is good for building a steady 30 mph rhythm before the faster sections.
