Running 16.59 km in about 33 minutes over one stage, this route threads Greasby, Frankby, Caldy and West Kirby with limits from 20 to 50 mph. It has just two sets of traffic lights, among the fewest at the Upton test centre, so almost all of the junction work here is done through its seven roundabouts and priority give-way lines.

Watch Out For

  • Seven roundabouts to read in sequence; give way to the right and signal left as you leave.
  • The 50 mph stretch on Column Road, where you build and hold a steady speed.
  • Rural bends and changing camber on Montgomery Hill.

Route Features

  • Five left and seven right turns, with more of the work on the right.
  • Village housing and shops around Frankby Road.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • With only two lights, give roundabout observation extra attention since that is where priority decisions cluster.
  • Ease off early for the drop to 20 mph in the villages.
