This one-stage route runs 16.45 km in about 34 minutes with no named suburbs but the widest speed range at the Upton test centre, five bands from 20 to 70 mph. It is also one of only three routes here that pass a school zone, and it packs in eleven roundabouts, so pace and priority both change quickly.

Watch Out For

  • A school zone with a reduced limit where children may be crossing.
  • The 70 mph dual-carriageway feel where Bidston Link Road speeds pick up.
  • Eleven roundabouts; give way to the right and signal left on exit.

Route Features

  • Fourteen sets of traffic lights across the drive.
  • Six left and three right turns, weighted toward the left.
  • Faster arterial running along Hoylake Road.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • Scrub off speed well before the 70 to 30 mph transitions between roundabouts.
  • Approach the school area ready to slow for pedestrians.
