Lichfield #1342 Free
This 19 km drive takes about 35.5 minutes across a single stage and is the second-longest route at the Lichfield test centre, covering Darwin Park, Pipehill, Muckley Corner and Wall with limits running from 30 up to 70 mph. It packs in nine roundabouts, nine sets of traffic lights and six right turns against five lefts.
Watch Out For
- A single stop sign where a full stop is required before you pull away.
- The fast rural stretch along Watling Street, where the limit climbs toward 70 mph.
- A school zone with a reduced limit and children nearby.
Route Features
- Nine roundabouts, so give way to the right and signal left as you leave.
- Two 50 mph sections and seven 40 mph zones to read carefully.
- Faster A-road driving out toward Walsall Road.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left near the centre.
Key Tips
- Match your speed to each change and check mirrors early before every roundabout.
