This 15.2 km 2-stage route from Stevenage heads north and south. Starting on Drapers Way, it heads north on North Road through Granby Road and Chancellors Road to Coreys Mill Lane. The route loops east via the A602 and A1072 to Pin Green, then south through Bedwell Crescent and Bedwell. It continues south on Monkswood Way and Broadhall Way, returning via Gunnels Wood Road through the industrial area to Old Town.

Watch Out For

Seven roundabouts with 5 traffic lights provide a balanced junction mix. The A602 and A1072 junctions are fast 40 mph roundabouts needing confident lane positioning. Coreys Mill Lane is a narrow residential road with speed humps. Gunnels Wood Road has heavy goods vehicles from the industrial estates, particularly during weekday mornings.

Route Features

A 2-stage route covering both the northern residential areas (Granby Road, Chancellors Road) and the southern industrial zone (Gunnels Wood Road). Mainly 30 mph residential driving with 40 mph on the distributor roads. North Road provides a straight run toward the A602 junction. Bedwell Crescent offers sweeping curves through the estate.

Test Manoeuvres

The pullover test is on Lonsdale Road in the Pin Green area, a wide residential street with good kerb access. Sat-nav following is likely through the northern streets where routes diverge.

Key Tips

On North Road, build speed to 40 mph between the Old Town and A602 junction. At the A602 roundabout, check the right-hand traffic carefully as it flows at speed. Through Chancellors Road, watch for the 20 mph zone signs. On Gunnels Wood Road, the roundabouts come in quick succession so check mirrors on approach to each one.
