Cheltenham #800 Pro
A 13.6 km route from Cheltenham DVSA Test Centre taking about 30 minutes. This route stands out for having 3 school zones, the most of any Cheltenham route, around Whaddon Road and Imjin Road. It heads east through Whaddon and Oakley, then north to Prestbury and Southam, reaching 60 mph on Old Road. With 25 turns (16 left, 9 right), it is left-turn heavy compared to most Cheltenham routes.
Watch Out For
- School zone on Whaddon Road. 20 mph during school hours. First of three school zones on this route.
- Second school zone on Whaddon Road. Close to the first. Stay at 20 mph until you pass the end sign.
- School zone near Imjin Road. Third school zone, near the Oakley area.
- Speed change near Swindon village. Drops to 40 mph after a 60 mph section.
- Give way on Southam Lane. After high-speed rural driving, check both directions carefully.
Route Features
- 16 left turns and 9 right turns
- 2 roundabouts, 7 sets of traffic lights
- Speed range: 30-60 mph, with 40 and 50 mph transition zones
- 3 school zones (most at Cheltenham), 3 give way signs
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left near Pittville Circus Road.
Key Tips
- Three school zones mean you could be driving at 20 mph for extended periods during school hours. Do not speed up until you see the end-of-zone sign.
- The Imjin Road and Ladysmith Road area is a military housing estate with wide roads but occasional speed bumps. Stay observant.
