The longest Speke route at 12 miles, heading east through Hillfoot Road to Baileys Lane and rural Higher Road, returning via Hale Road. Reaches 60 mph on Higher Road. Only 2 roundabouts but 17 traffic lights. About 35 minutes.

Watch Out For

  • Higher Road at 60 mph. Long rural stretch with tight bends and no markings. Brake before the bends, not during them.
  • Leathers Lane is narrow with high hedges. Limited forward visibility. Use the horn on blind bends if needed.
  • Greensbridge Lane junction. Staggered crossroads with poor sightlines. Creep forward to check both directions.
  • Speke Hall Avenue speed changes. Transitions from 60 to 30 mph. Watch for the signs early.

  • 30 mph residential, 40 mph through Speke, 60 mph on Higher Road and Hale Road.

Key Tips
