Burton on Trent #1168 Pro
This 16.65 km route takes about 26 minutes out to Barton-under-Needwood and Tatenhill, and it is one of only three routes at this centre that reach an 80 mph limit. The speed range runs from 30 right up to 80 mph, so it is built around fast rural driving with 7 roundabouts and just 7 sets of traffic lights. Far more open-road speed than the town loops here.
Watch Out For
- The high-speed dual carriageway sections where keeping to the limit matters.
- Two give way junctions on the country approach near Station Road.
- Sharp drops from national speed limit back to 40 mph entering villages.
Route Features
- 7 roundabouts: give way to the right and signal left on exit.
- Long 60 mph rural stretches on Lichfield Road.
- Village streets through Main Street.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left near the test centre.
Key Tips
- Read speed limit signs early on the open roads.
- Brake in good time when limits drop for a village.
