This Poole route runs 24.34 km in a single stage of about 58 minutes through Oakdale, Longfleet, Upper Parkstone, Branksome, Rossmore and Alder Hills. Limits range from 30 to 50 mph and it packs 23 sets of traffic signals with 5 roundabouts, putting it among the busier signalised routes at this centre, though well short of the 36 lights on route 1216.

Watch Out For

  • A stop sign on Alder Road that needs a complete halt with wheels stationary, as DVSA examiners watch these closely.
  • Two pedestrian crossings on Ashley Road.
  • Three give way junctions clustered near Oakdale Road.

Route Features

  • Six 50 mph sections, mostly along Dorset Way.
  • A school area near Adastral Road with reduced speed and children present.
  • Seven left and four right turns across the loop.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips
