This 13.35 km route takes about 29.2 minutes through Pocket Nook, Cowley Hill, Haresfinch and Gerard's Bridge. It has just 5 sets of traffic signals, the fewest of any route at this test centre, but balances that with 9 right turns and several give way junctions. Limits run from 20 mph in school areas up to 60 mph on the open stretches.

Watch Out For

  • Nine right turns, the heaviest right turn load here, each needing clear observation and positioning.
  • Give way junctions such as one on Washway Lane, judging gaps before you go.
  • Two school zones near College Street with a reduced limit and children present.

Route Features

  • A 13.35 km loop that relies on unsignalled junctions more than lights.
  • Speeds across 20, 30, 40 and 60 mph, with a 60 mph section near Carr Mill.
  • Roads including Moss Bank Road and City Road.

Test Manoeuvres

  • A pull up on the left near Pocket Nook, signalling and stopping close to the kerb.

Key Tips

  • Position early for the frequent right turns and check oncoming traffic carefully.
  • At give way lines, look both ways and only emerge when the gap is safe.
