Brislington Test Centre - Keynsham Road - Temporary traffic lights

Posted by Will Dracott on Monday, May 24, 2010,

Keynsham road, the national speed limit road running by the cadbury factor, is having some road works done right now and is down to one lane. It gives you 400 yards to check your mirror and get your speed down to something sensible enough for you to deal with a possibly a red light and big change in position.

Southmead Tes Route - Road Works - Stoke Bishop

Posted by Will Dracott on Sunday, May 9, 2010,

There are a few goings on in Stoke Bishop on several roads, but all in the same area.

Firstly Mariners Drive is being completely dug up and resembles something like a ski salom. Slow and steady with plenty of mirrors.

Right near by, on several test routes is the giant hole in the ground at the entrance to Old Sneed Road. This will require caution, both going into and exiting the steet. You'll potentialy be on the other side of the road, so careful here.

Brislington Test Centre - Bath Road/Approach to Hick's Gate

Posted by Will Dracott on Thursday, April 8, 2010,

The approach to the Hick's Gate roundabout from the test centre is splattered in cones. I think a bus stop is being put in and the whole area is down to one lane in both directions in part.

Be careful as it's a 50 mph zone, so don't be caught out or slam on any brake. A mirror check will be in order with any large reduction in speed and follow the cones. Once the cones end, you may need to come back into the left if turning/bearing left at the roundabout, so MSM will be called for here.

Brislington Test Centre - Bath Road - road works

Posted by Will Dracott on Thursday, April 8, 2010,

The bottom of the Bath Road on the way to town as you leave the test centre has a few cones and some work going on. Bus stops are being put in on the up hill section and so is narrowing the width of the road a little. Nothing too major here, just be careful and on the look out for men at work.

Brislington test Routes - A4320/Bath Road - Road Works

Posted by Will Dracott on Wednesday, March 31, 2010,

This only effects one test route and it would be towards the end of the test. After going around the tower blocks of Easton and heading over the fly-over by St.Phillips causeway you'll see signs warning you that you can't go onto the A4. After you exit the last giant roundabout (see here on how to deal with those roundabouts) almost straight away you'll see a lot of cones pushing you very wide to the right here. Mirror and signal if you think you need to let the car behind you know what is...

Brislington Test Centre - Bristol Hill/Bath Road (towards town) road works

Posted by Will Dracott on Sunday, March 28, 2010,

At last the resurfacing crews have come to Brislington and are in the middle of fixing one of the busiest and bumpiest roads in town. This will only effect those coming back to the test centre after taking the route through Broom Hill. The cones arent that distruptive, just be on the look out for men at work.
