A 10.7 km route taking about 28 minutes, heading south through Salisbury city centre to Downton Road and Coombe Road in Harnham, continuing west to Old Blandford Road before looping back via Norfolk Road. With 24 turns (13 left, 11 right), 17 traffic lights, and 3 school zones, this route combines city driving with quieter residential sections in south Salisbury. Speed ranges from 20 to 60 mph, though the 60 mph stretch is very brief.

Watch Out For

• School zones near Churchill Way South. Three school zones clustered around the Harnham area. 20 mph during active hours. Missing one is a serious fault.
• Harnham Road residential stretch. Narrow road with parked cars on both sides. Speed control and positioning are key.
• Give way junctions near Tollgate Road. Five give way points. The ones near the city centre require careful timing during busy traffic.
• Pedestrian crossing near Norfolk Road. Be prepared to stop. Check both directions and watch for pedestrians approaching the crossing.

Key Tips
